If you’re an empath or sensitive person, it’s easy to get overwhelmed when at gatherings, parties, and get-togethers, especially during the holidays.
🎄When you tend to absorb other people’s energy and emotions, it can be draining, causing fatigue and anxiety.
🎄One way to prevent this energy drain is to release external energies by brushing out the meridians of the body. This also helps us move our own stuck or stagnant energy as well.
🎄You can do this in as little as a few minutes, either excusing yourself during a gathering, or waiting until you’re home, and doing a brush-out then.
🎄This also works for phone calls or any time you feel like you are absorbing external energies. Brush out at a speed that feels best for you.
Make sure to breathe deeply as you brush!
1. Brush from the inner shoulder area, down the back of the arm, brushing out the thumbs on both arms. This helps to release sadness, disappointment, and grief that may be from other people (or ourselves).
2. Brush from the chest/heart area, down the front of the arm and out the palms and fingers of the hands. This releases strong emotions.
3. Brush the solar plexus and lower abdomen to release anxiety and fears from others.
4. Brush down sides of waist to sides of legs, This brushes out the gallbladder, releasing anger, stress, and irritability.
5. Brush out the lower back and buttocks. This opens and releases the lower back acupressure points, increasing energy, and releasing fear.
6. Brush the upper back. This releases strong and/or trapped emotions.
