Walking the Edge: My Journey as an Empath Learning to Protect, Heal, and Shine

For as long as I can remember, I’ve sensed things others couldn’t. Energies, presences, whispers from another realm—all mixed into the fabric of my everyday life. It wasn’t until much later that I understood why: I’m an empath. Being an empath means I absorb emotions and energies around me, sometimes to the point where it feels overwhelming. Negative energies, draining people—what I call “energy vampires” or “soul snatchers”—can knock me off balance if I’m not careful. For a long time, this sensitivity felt like a curse. But now, I see it as a gift—a calling. Encounters Beyond the Veil Throughout my life, I’ve had moments that defy logic. One night driving past a cemetery, I saw a pink orb-like form linger around my car. It felt playful and curious, not frightening—a gentle energy reaching out across the veil.

How to Ground and Clear Your Energy: Reconnecting with Yourself

Image
By The Artful Woman


There have been countless times in my life when I felt stuck, stagnant, and completely out of sync with myself. It wasn’t just exhaustion or stress—it was deeper than that. Something felt off, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. Was I spiritually disconnected? Had I lost a part of myself along the way?

I knew I had to figure it out because I didn’t like feeling this way. Back in the '80s, I experimented with mind-altering substances like ecstasy, acid, and mushrooms. But honestly, I only tried them once and never looked back. I hated the feeling of not being in control of my thoughts. I realized then that I needed to feel grounded—to be fully present, aware, and connected to my energy.

If you’ve ever felt lost, unbalanced, or energetically drained, you’re not alone. The good news is that there are powerful ways to clear and ground your energy so you can feel like yourself again. Whether you’re dealing with spiritual fatigue, emotional heaviness, or just a sense of being uncentered, these techniques will help you realign, release negativity, and reclaim your power.

Key Practices for Grounding and Clearing Energy

1. Mindful Breathing

Breathing is one of the fastest ways to reconnect with your body and energy. Take slow, deep breaths, focusing on the sensation of air moving in and out of your body. Try inhaling deeply for four counts, holding for four, and exhaling for four. This simple practice can instantly bring you back to the present moment.

2. Nature Immersion

Spending time outdoors is one of the most effective ways to ground yourself. Walk barefoot on grass, feel the warmth of the sun on your skin, or listen to the rustling of leaves. Nature has an incredible way of realigning our energy and helping us feel connected again.

3. Guided Meditation

Visualization is a powerful grounding tool. Imagine roots growing from the soles of your feet, reaching deep into the earth, anchoring you with stability and strength. This practice helps release scattered energy and reconnect with the earth’s natural flow.

4. Body Scan Meditation

Mentally scan your body from head to toe, noticing any tension, discomfort, or energetic blockages. Consciously release these areas by breathing into them and allowing relaxation to take over.

5. Physical Activity

Movement helps release stagnant energy. Whether it’s walking, yoga, dancing, or stretching, engaging your body mindfully can shake off negativity and restore balance.

6. Sensory Grounding

Focus on your senses to pull yourself back into the present. Name five things you can see, four things you can hear, three things you can touch, two things you can smell, and one thing you can taste. This practice instantly brings you into the now.

7. Journaling

Writing is a powerful way to release heavy emotions and clear your mental space. Let your thoughts flow without judgment—sometimes, simply getting them onto paper can bring clarity and relief.

8. Affirmations

Positive statements help shift your energy. Try saying:
"I am grounded, centered, and safe."
"I release what no longer serves me."
"I am connected to my highest self."
Repeat these daily to reinforce a strong, balanced energy field.

9. Crystal Healing

Crystals carry energetic properties that can aid in grounding and clearing. Hold or place grounding stones like black tourmaline, smoky quartz, or hematite around you. For spiritual cleansing, amethyst and selenite work wonders.

10. Sound Therapy

Certain frequencies and sounds help clear stagnant energy. Listen to nature sounds, Tibetan singing bowls, or specific binaural beats to harmonize your energy field.

Important Considerations

  • Set an Intention – Before beginning any grounding practice, take a moment to set your intention. Clearly state that you are releasing negativity and calling in stability and peace.
  • Consistency is Key – Grounding and clearing your energy isn’t a one-time fix. Regular practice helps maintain a balanced and aligned energy field.
  • Seek Support if Needed – If you’re experiencing deep emotional heaviness, working with a therapist, energy healer, or spiritual guide can provide additional clarity and healing.

Walking Away to Save Myself: Breaking the Chains of a Toxic Family

By The Artful Woman
  For years, I lived with trauma so deep it tried to silence me—but instead of breaking me, it made me defiant. Everything my mother said to tear me down, I resisted. I became everything she said I couldn’t be. My mother—the person who should have protected me—was instead the source of fear, pain, and rejection. She never offered love, safety, or validation. Instead, I lived in constant anxiety and terror. The beatings were daily. And when she wasn’t hitting me herself, she had trained my middle sister to take over. The abuse was relentless. Inescapable. This was my childhood: a house ruled by violence, fear, and control. What made it even darker was her involvement in witchcraft and black magic. She used it as a weapon—threatening me with curses, wishing me dead, and vowing she would outlive her children just to watch our lives unravel. I grew up under the heavy fear that I had been cursed by the one person who was supposed to nurture me. Her cruelty didn’t stop there. She often ...

Beauty, Brains & Boundaries

By The Artful Woman
    Why Worthy Women Are Done Apologizing for Wanting More As a young girl, I was an international model—traveling the world, young, beautiful, and financially independent. I was naturally drawn to powerful, intelligent, and successful men—not because I needed anything from them, but because I admired ambition. I respected men who could build something for themselves, because I was already building something for myself. But because I was beautiful, I was labeled. Assumed. Dismissed. "Gold digger" that type of judgment made me stay away from the very type of man I was genuinely aligned with. I didn’t want to be misunderstood. So I shrunk my desires and played it safe. And for that, I paid the price. As I got older, that stigma stuck. I found myself in a pattern of relationships with users, losers, and opportunists—men who took and took and gave nothing back. Men who drained my spirit, my finances, my peace. And I let it happen, because somewhere deep down, I still felt like I ...

When Nothing Is Happening, Make Shit Happen!

By The Artful Woman
June was slow. Like, dead quiet slow. No business. No momentum. It felt like everything was stuck. So I did something totally ordinary—but energetically powerful. I had a yard sale. Not just to make money (though that helped). I needed to MOVE energy. To release things. To stir the pot. To show the Universe that I wasn’t just going to sit there waiting. I was going to make shit happen . And guess what? I went from zero bookings to FIVE bookings this month. Coincidence? I don’t think so. Money is energy. Movement is energy. Letting go is an invitation for more. Sometimes we think we have to wait until the “right thing” comes along, or until we “feel ready.” But the truth is, energy responds to action. When you move—even in a small way—you signal the Universe that you’re open, available, and in the flow . So if you’re in a lull, don’t panic. Clean your space. Sell stuff. Shake things up. Move your body. Make a call. Say yes to something random. Create momentum from where...
