Hello all,
Have you ever had the experience of momentary embodiment of other people's energy? i'm a newly realized empath working on more solid boundaries.

I've been noticing over the last few years that i tend to store other people's energy in me and it's hit very strongly recently as i claim my clairsentient and empathic nature. (receptivity is a feminine trait especially with old intimate partners and friends, i feel.) this is especially strong with people who i have shared deep intimacy with, and even sometimes people THEY have shared deep intimacy with. it's like i'm finally realizing the power of energetic merging of sexual and deep intimate relations. kind of like a family tree of energetic relations.

The way this feels for me is as if I'll drop into someone's character (facial expressions, movements, sounds, and general vibe) it's more intense than just picking up someone's common expressions like when you pick up someone elses laugh or saying. i actually for a very quick moment, actually feel the person in me. kind of a shape-shifting of sorts. it feels similar to when i've jumped into the feeling of what it is like to be a certain animal.

the issue is, it comes uninvited. when i've done it with animals, it's through a concious decision on my part to explore, meditate with, and experience an animal. it's especially spooky when it pops up while i'm having my own sexual expression and some old lover's vibes channel in. eek! this also happened recently with a man who i'm considering having sexual relations with, but haven't even gone close yet. i was doing my own thing, and hello, there he was. i felt like i was him expressing sexually inside of me!

mostly this feels more like stagnant energy, especially the old lovers. maybe it's good and the energy is moving out of me. sometimes i feel like there's too much old energy from the past stagnating and mucking up the free-flow of my own divine creative energy in my vessel.

any ideas to effeciently usher out these old energies to make room for the full me? boundary strengthening excersizes, clearing excersizes. rituals?

i am very familiar with chakra clearing, reiki, angel assistance, and kundalini yoga breathwork. also have done some shamanic trance work. maybe i just need to devote more time to these paths that i know.

if anyone has that special key technique to help with clearing past energies esp. sexual and intimate friends and partner energies, i'd really appreciate you sharing them.

Thanks!
