Protecting Personal Energy Challenges
00:00:24
Speaker
So we're talking about how to protect your energy. Yeah. Any ideas? Cause like, i on um i I just want to say like, I don't feel like I'm doing a good job of protecting my energy and I really need to get better at it. and I will say we're in a, we're in a point in history where it's really, really, really challenging yeah to protect your energy just in general right now. Yeah.
00:00:52
Speaker
um, we're all in a really vulnerable state. So like, I would say, I would encourage you and whoever's listening who feels like they resonate with you, not to get caught up in feeling like you're doing a bad
Dealing with Guilt in Energy Protection
00:01:08
Speaker
job. The world is doing a bad job of being good to people. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. Don't put the responsibility on yourself. Yeah. But then, you know, do what you can to protect yourself still. Yeah.
00:01:23
Speaker
I certainly don't want to turn this into a bitch fest at all. 2025 has already been a piece of shit. in this Not a good time. Like I had COVID, like the second week in January, I got COVID. Yeah. Then I went back to work and we had like a couple of really super cold days where they closed school. So that was nice. And then like three days later, I get into a car accident.
00:01:50
Speaker
yeah I'm like, lovely. And now my poor friend is still in the hospital and I have. You know, I mean, I have whiplash and it's like, it wasn't hurting too much, but like, I knew that if I went back to work without getting some kind of therapy, that I was gonna be hurting the first day back. Oh, yeah. Because like, you hold your arms up like this, you're always engaging your shoulders and your traps and, you know, and yeah chest muscles and arms and everything. For 10 hours straight, dude, I'd be fucking in pain by the end of the first day back to work. So I'm like, I need to take some extra time and try to get some
00:02:27
Speaker
yeah therapy so i finally started that today but now i feel like i'm hurting so i'm kind of thinking okay maybe i need to take some ibuprofen and my muscle relaxer yeah well i think you probably need to keep going back to physical therapy yeah my doctor wrote it for twice a week okay so um yeah it's certainly not a one and done situation no anywho it's all so confusing that was another one of our ADHD tangents Yeah, I don't even know if I'm going to keep it in. I probably won't because nobody cares.
Vacation Time for Mental Health
00:03:02
Speaker
um listen
00:03:05
Speaker
Well, vacation time is a really great way to protect your energy from your job. That's true. That's very, very true. As long as you're using it. Yeah. You have to actually take it and use it. Yeah. Not just accumulate it. And I'm so extraordinarily grateful that I work for a company.
00:03:26
Speaker
that has a use it or lose it policy. And the the reason for it is because they prioritize us maintaining our mental health and our like sanity. That's amazing. Yeah, yeah, they make up for it by like beating us to death mentally. yeah But you know, they're just sort of like here so you can survive our brutal mental beatings. Take all this vacation time.
00:03:55
Speaker
Uh, take it or lose it. And they really try not to let you just lose it. So. So yeah, protecting our what?
00:04:10
Speaker
Protecting our what? Our energy? Yeah. They're doing a really fucking bad job of that these days. Well, would you like to do a better job? Yeah.
00:04:24
Speaker
Will you actually do a better job? I will try. That's all you can hope for. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, well, I tried. You know what I mean? Yeah.
Avoiding Energy Drainers
00:04:37
Speaker
What are the techniques that you have used or will use? Breathing techniques for like anxiety. That doesn't feel like protection to me. ah That feels that feels like a like a collateral damage, you know,
00:04:53
Speaker
recovery type of thing. Trying to avoid emotional vampire people. Like, for sure. sure Yeah, well, like that's, yeah I feel like it's so much easier said than done to say just like, avoid them as like,
00:05:09
Speaker
It's like, it's never that simple, you know, like, it's, I mean, it's hard when it's people that are in your life that you can't get rid of. But like, God, I am the this is where it gets challenging, because I really am the kind of person who will just drop people. Yeah, I've done it. I don't know how to talk about like, here's what you do when you can't just drop people. Yeah, I'm like, I'm a cold heartless bitch.
00:05:39
Speaker
And if you know me and you're confused as to why I'm saying that, then you're one of the lucky ones.
00:05:49
Speaker
That's funny. Listen, that's how I protect my energy is I will fuck off from dealing with you in any capacity. And that honestly includes family. Yeah. Thank you. Well, it should. i mean Yeah. I mean, that family is usually the the one that people have the hardest time letting go of. Right. Yeah.
Severing Ties with Toxic People
00:06:14
Speaker
There was a ah really good book that I read. It was called Bad Childhood Good Life or something like that. so Interesting. Something similar to that. Dr. Laura Schlesinger. That's one thing I could remember about it was her. So you remember the very weird author's name, but not the title. Good job. She had like a talk show too. And I heard her on their talk show sometimes, but I think it was called Bad Childhood Good Life. Okay. It's about like, not feeling obligated.
00:06:44
Speaker
to continue to have relationships with toxic people, including your own family members, especially your own parents. So yeah, you should never feel guilty about cutting people off from your life who are toxic. Yeah. In that vein, the adult children of emotionally immature parents book is so fucking good.
00:07:08
Speaker
Yeah. But that's a little bit of a deviation because that's more about like dealing with emotionally immature people rather than protecting yourself in general. Right, right. But yeah.
00:07:22
Speaker
Yeah, I've listened to a good portion of that book. um But I just found my physical copy, because I had lent it to Julie. And then I went looking for paperwork for her. And I found it in one of the areas where her paperwork was. So I just took it back. She obviously hid it for a reason, because her mother comes over a lot. Right, right. So yeah, it's a good one. I've heard there's a follow up and I need to ah find that and get myself a copy of the follow up to that book. Yeah, me too. Because they it's good. It's really good. It's, it's a little elementary in terms of like, the way that it reads, but it gets the point across. It's very effective. And that's really the point. Yeah. And I think that's one of the things I liked about it. It was like, yeah you know, even people who
00:08:19
Speaker
Okay, let me pick the right words because I don't want to sound offensive. um It is written to be to be easily read so that every person can you know understand it and use its knowledge to there. But yeah, yeah. It's the kind of thing where this book will make its point in three different ways. Like it'll state the same point in three different ways, just to make sure that it comes across very, very clearly. But it's like,
00:08:49
Speaker
clearly like that's the formula. So like I said, it's a little it ah it almost feels clunky, but I like it's the the purpose of it is not to be super eloquent. The purpose of it is to get you to understand yeah what it is that you're dealing with, with these ah emotionally immature parents or family members in general, like people who generally have a bit of a like a you know, power dynamic above you. Um, like it's as best as parents, but like, I think that it can be applied to a lot of different kinds of people. Dude, let me say this is what I was like, I'm totally relating to what you're saying, because when I was listening to the audio book, I was like, I could see my mother in, in a lot of the things, but I could see also John and me. you know Like in, in, as in like, as parents in the parent role. Yes. Okay. She there were two different things that she described that I felt like fit me perfectly and like one of them fit me perfectly and the other fit John perfectly. And the ones that
00:09:57
Speaker
that stood out that I can remember the words because it was that poignant. The internalizer and the externalizer. Right. The internalizer takes on all the responsibility of everything to try to make everything right, try and fix everything. The externalizer takes no responsibility for anything for anything at all and blames all of their problems and everyone else's problems on everything else except themselves, like they will not look at themselves as a cause of any issue.
Visualization Techniques for Protection
00:10:29
Speaker
One of the other things I remember hearing about for protecting your energy, if you're going to be in a situation where you feel like may not be the most like healthy energetically,
00:10:45
Speaker
um visualizing a pink bubble around you, or any bubbles, but like a lot of times pink is really like related to like love and protection and whatever, but like any color that you've like, you know, golden or whatever oh yeah feels good is like, whatever color is appropriate for you with in terms of like protection and stuff like that. That's what you want to visualize as a bubble around you, as a shield, if you will, to protect your energy.
00:11:20
Speaker
yeah and carry that around, like visualize that and carry that around with you wherever you're going. Yeah, absolutely. yeah need it yeah If we're thinking in the terms of like the the realm of magic, the visualization absolutely is a tactic that I've heard and that I've used, and it works, as well as like doing like somewhat of like a self-blessing or self-cleansing at the beginning of a day that sort of helps you um feel like you have protection the whole day. Yeah.
00:11:54
Speaker
um It's like kind of the same thing, but just like a verbal invocation, as it were. um But also, like you can fully bless like an article of clothing or like an accessory that you wear regularly to have the ah power of protection for you. Yeah, like a talisman. Yeah, like it could be your sunglasses, it could be a necklace, it could be any any piece of jewelry.
00:12:23
Speaker
um You know, it could be your regular glasses if you wear them. Like, Oh dude, I think I've even heard of people like either mixing a blessed, like oil or something like even like water, mixing in with like their shampoo or their body wash. Yeah. So like yeah yeah washing themselves, like it's like going all over their whole body. Exactly. You can do the exact same thing with a laundry detergent and wash your clothes with that power.
00:12:54
Speaker
Yeah, you know fall oh Yeah, oh, yeah Absolutely. you get like Along those lines of logic, like you could apply that to literally any tool or any like cleaning item that you use for anything. You could literally bless like you could bless like a paper towel with water and then like wipe down your car with it. you know um like it's It's all about the intention there, and like intention is the magic.
Mindset and Internal Dialogue
00:13:27
Speaker
And even symbolism.
00:13:29
Speaker
Like yeah this symbolism is a form of intention. Yeah, absolutely. yeah yeah Yeah. So sigils. I have not learned much about sigils, but I really, really, really want to. But like, I know sigils are used for protection a lot of times. Yeah. i have not ever felt particularly drawn to them, but I definitely see the power in them. And I think that they can be extremely useful. So maybe maybe they'll call to me in the future. I don't know, but there are so many options in general that I'm like, I don't feel like I'm particularly losing anything when I'm pursuing sigils particularly or specifically. um But I was going to say too, like there is so much to be said about like,
00:14:19
Speaker
learning to adjust your own mindset around whatever it is that you're dealing with that is an energy vampire. It is I consider it to be magic because kind of fucking everything is magic. But like, I don't think it's something that's like typically thought of to be magic. but like i get Everything is magic, but also my personal spirituality is super, super intrinsically entwined with mental health. And as my mental health improves, my own spiritual power has improved. Because like to improve my mental health,
00:14:58
Speaker
And to improve my capability to like take back and own my own power and and all of that has directly impacted the way that I feel about the workings that I do. um And so five years ago, I could do all the blessings in the world.
00:15:16
Speaker
to protect myself and because of the way that I felt about myself really probably didn't have much in the way of like effectiveness. Um, because, because I didn't feel like I deserved to be protected, you know, on like such a deep entrenched level that I can't even describe. yeah But like as I have grown and changed and shed a like a lot of layers of shame and like fear, I have come to a place of, like it's part of the reason why like I have such an easy time very openly claiming that I am perfectly fine telling people to fuck off.
00:15:59
Speaker
yeah Like, because i I was terrified of letting anybody perceive me as being not wanting them, because I always felt like I was the one who, by default, wasn't wanted, and therefore I was lucky if I had anybody who wanted to be my friend or wanted to, like, go out with me or anything in that regard. Like, therefore my rejection felt like it had no power.
00:16:30
Speaker
ah And now I have seen the way in which like people do value me and always have valued me. And I understand the power that my rejection does hold even for people like my family. And I am not afraid to use it anymore. And that protects me emotionally as well as energetically, spiritually. Yeah. And and you bring to mind an idea that I never really thought of before. But protecting your own energy is pretty, pretty deeply entwined with mindset and your own personal dialogue, internal dialogue. So yeah, you tied that one together for me. Yeah, that's awesome. I'm glad to hear that. I'm glad you said that.
00:17:28
Speaker
Yeah. Cause it really does start with you. it It starts with how you value yourself. And so that's the only way you're going to properly protect your energy is because you value yourself and you value your energy. So you have, yeah you you know, that you have something worth protecting. Yeah. You have to have internal dialogue for that to all start to take form.
00:17:50
Speaker
Yeah. And it's like, it's honestly, I could have said those exact same words five years ago because I like on like a surface level intellectually understood them and not even understood that like, I didn't mean them if I said them at that time.
00:18:09
Speaker
you know You didn't know any better back then. i didn't You don't know until you know. Exactly. And that's like the layer like that's why I describe things as layers, because like as they disappear, you're just like, oh shit, I didn't know I needed to deal with that, but now I am and now it's gone. Right, right. And now I understand all these things so much better than I even realized I needed to or could. Yeah.
00:18:38
Speaker
Yeah. It's wild, man. Sometimes I forget exactly where you were, you know, a handful of years ago, like but when I first met you. Like I forget how, I don't want to say this, but it's really the only way I know how to verbalize it. Like how bad it was. Yeah. You know what I mean?
00:19:00
Speaker
and how much you've changed in the past few years. And I am like super relieved and glad to see that you have learned things you've needed to learn and that you've made necessary changes and and that you value yourself more, like for sure. Because I think I never even comprehended that stuff could be that bad for people. Like how but how bad things were for you in your mindset and stuff and how Little you valued yourself and that like, you know, I never thought that was possible. So it was like, when I heard that shit, I was just like, what the fuck? And I think that's what made me start to like really question my choice. Like I should have just kept you because I truly believe you wouldn't be, you wouldn't have been as deep in the bullshit of those things as you were if I had kept you and raised you.
00:19:58
Speaker
I know, I know what you've said about that in the past, but I'm just saying, it just hurts my soul to see how damaged you were. I also wouldn't have had the opportunity for the growth that I've had. Yes and no, because I mean, like, honestly, Molly, I've grown a lot too. And I wasn't, I didn't start at the same place. Yeah, I'm not saying that you like growing up with, like with you, wouldn't have offered me an opportunity for growth. But like, it's the kind of thing where like,
00:20:26
Speaker
We have no way of knowing how things could have turned out if anything had been different. Right. And to the point that it's like all that we can do is be grateful for the way that things did turn out. Right. But I just think that you don't, you didn't have to be at the rock bottom.
00:20:46
Speaker
of self-esteem in order to see growth and and value yourself to this point now. like to I don't think I would, i i but i do I do know what you mean. I don't think that I would have seen this growth had I not gone to the places I went to mentally and emotionally. I really truly believe that. And it's like, I know it sounds cliche, but like, I believe it.
00:21:14
Speaker
so Like I absolutely understand where you're coming from and and the validity of like how you feel about it. But I don't think at at where I'm at now, and I probably wouldn't have even said this like a year ago or two years ago, but where I'm at now, I can see how it was worth it. Okay. Because I remember having a conversation with you once before about how you You know, even though I've had a lot of hard shit in my own life, I never really could say that I, I mean, I didn't like a lot of stuff I went through, but I feel like everything I went through made me who I am now. And so I asked you that one time and I was like, you don't look at it like the things that you've been through.
00:22:04
Speaker
you know, were meant to happen to create the person who you are now, and you were like, no, you absolutely said no. And that's why I'm saying I couldn't have said this a year ago. Right. That's what I'm acknowledging. Yeah. Because i I remember a conversation like that, where you actually said, you don't think that... And that's the thing is, like, I was... Anything you want here was worth it. That's because I was still in it. Right, right, right.
00:22:29
Speaker
And what the whole time, no matter how unself-aware, whatever point I was at in my life, the whole time I was in it, it it didn't feel worth it to me. right that's why That's why suicidal ideation ever became a thing. That's why it happens. But I'm not in it anymore. Really, really glad to hear you say that and know that that that things have changed that much for you.
Growth through Nervous System Regulation
00:22:57
Speaker
that you're now able to look back at your life and be like, now I understand, you know, that everything I went through has caused me to grow and, you know, into the person I am now. And like, um I still don't know what it means. I still don't know what it means. um I still don't know, you know, like, I believe that there's a grand purpose outside of just the the length of my own life. But like,
00:23:26
Speaker
that I don't know what it is yet, and I'm okay with not knowing. But like I don't even think I've had the chance to even tell you that like I came to the realization only a couple weeks ago that like I have regulated my nervous system. Like 100%? I think it's not 100% all the time, and and that's mostly circumstantial to the unprecedented times we're living in.
00:23:52
Speaker
But it was just before the inauguration, like the week before the inauguration that I was having the thought that I, okay, let me let me frame it this way.
00:24:06
Speaker
Do you remember the ways that I've tried to explain how I have felt throughout my life where I felt like I've just been in a fog and I've been so lost and confused and just like, like I had no idea who I was or like what anything was going, like nothing. it I didn't understand anything that was going on around me. I felt so confused and lost and just like, that's part of, you know, part of why I always felt like end it all because fuck this shit, you know. Um, that feeling, it clicked for me that that feeling is simply dysregulation. And I can point to it now because I'm no longer in it. And it's, it's not been a linear like suddenly I'm above the surface. It has been a,
00:25:02
Speaker
My head breaks the surface for a minute and then I go back down and then I like get up and then I go back down. And I think that having this realization of like, holy shit, that's what all that like fog and that feeling of being lost was. It's like, oh, that's all it was. Like I used to just feel like an insane person to trying to describe how I used to feel. yeah Just being like, just bear with me while I try to tell you how awful I always felt. No, I was dysregulated. That's all it was. and i just said i like it you know I spent my entire life in that place. and it's only It really, really, truly only has been in the last fucking year that I have like spent a consistent amount of time out of that state.
00:25:49
Speaker
so Yeah. ah yeah
00:25:55
Speaker
really is yeah Yeah. And I still have work to do. Oh, we all do. Oh, yeah. But like, I can, I, I can say with a surety that I'm not healed. Um, but I am sure at a better footing to be able to keep healing.
00:26:22
Speaker
It's like I can tell now that I'm no longer operating at a deficit. It's only a very small margin now, but it's not a deficit. And so now my focus, to get back to the subject at hand, my focus is to continue to protect my energy, especially now that I have a full understanding of the value of my own energy.
00:26:47
Speaker
to continue to protect it so that I can continue to grow that margin the and spend less and less time at risk of falling into this regulation.
00:26:59
Speaker
Yeah, I think for me, eight and I talk about this all the time, I say this all the time, I need to start trying trying to meditate more. And it's funny how a lot of times Julie will be like, you know, when I'm around her hanging out with her at her house or whatever, she's just like, you know, it's like night and day to see you like there versus here, like over, you know, around him versus here with me.
00:27:28
Speaker
Like, you know, when we were in the van right before the accident, literally like seconds before the accident, she was just starting to say, as I remembered this conversation, she was just starting to say like, she, she loved to see me happy, like being in the car with her driving, you know, like, I guess whatever mood I was in at the moment, she was basically like,
00:27:53
Speaker
I love seeing you this happy or whatever and then BAM! Then we got fucked up. But it's like, yeah, you you really do have to be choosy about the people you have in your life, who you keep around you. Yeah. Yeah. Was there anything else that you wanted to go over with regards to protecting your energy?
00:28:17
Speaker
I know we made a lot of points when we first talked about it. I don't feel like we hit all of them, but at the same time. I love that you were talking about how any product that you use can be turned into a protection spell. I love that. Absolutely. So that's something I definitely want to look more into.
00:28:38
Speaker
arm how to like, bless or do ritual to like, sanctify? Is that the right word? To like, consecrate something? come Yeah, consecrate is probably the right word that I would use, yeah. Yeah. Consecrate or or just simply like, bless.
00:28:58
Speaker
her Yeah. And you can do that with like, any kind of tool or not tool, but like, I know, ah so like, uh, like we've, we talked about oils, particularly going into things like shampoo or like, you know, um, laundry detergent or something like that. But like smoke cleansing also can serve the same kind of protection. Yeah. Um, incense burning, cancer burning. Like, yeah. Oh my God.
00:29:26
Speaker
Yeah, like it's anything that you would use to cleanse in general, you can also use to concentrate consecrate for any any intention, but especially protection and protection of your own energy.
00:29:41
Speaker
But yeah, like, isn't it true that you can use salt around the perimeter of your house for protection?
Cultural Appropriation Warning
00:29:50
Speaker
I've heard that I am, I've i've heard that, but I'm cautious about using salt on the ground outside. um It like kills the ground. Well, you wouldn't need to use a ton.
00:30:07
Speaker
Well, I know, but like any amount, I'm like, I'm not sure what the threshold is, you know? Like, I don't- Sprinkle a little bit, I don't think it will hurt. Yeah, it's true. I just, I've never done that because of that reservation that I have. um I mean, I've, I've used it for cleansing, like particular tools or, you know, like over like, or across like thresholds, like, you know, doors and windows, um very,
00:30:36
Speaker
very akin to supernatural the show techniques um there that's their like go to like salt drawers salt windows they just keep like giant boxes there's something that had to do with eggshells too some caskeria yeah okay yeah i have never used that and i think it's cool but i don't know how to access any um i also don't know because i think it's a part of hoodoo or voodoo yeah and i i don't know or is it santeria i really don't know you know it's really funny huh this is gonna be so hilarious literally last night my friend texted me asking if we like before she went and listened to our episode on darkness she was asking if we got into talking about santeria and i was like
00:31:32
Speaker
no and i don't think we ever will because those are not for us right and here we are literally talking about this but we're not talking about them because the word caskeria sounds like santeria that's true it does that one song i can't remember who sings it i don't practice that's some line okay if i fucking love that song right oh my god i couldn't remember who uh oh yeah i love that song dude but i yeah i you don't want to appropriate another culture yeah and it's like it's just because i just practices yeah and because i've not like been taught about it through the appropriate channels i don't even want to speak on it you know right exactly it's like i would i would purchase if i've you know found just see the same way that like i purchased a
00:32:23
Speaker
um, a candle for my health from a voodoo practitioner. Like I'm comfortable with that. I would purchase Cascaria from a practitioner who can, you know, use those techniques and and create that substance.
00:32:42
Speaker
But I don't, I wouldn't feel comfortable trying to create it myself. So, and I don't know anything about it. I really don't. Neither do I. Yeah, like, and so it's very much like, please, please don't listen to us.
00:33:01
Speaker
Or listen to us in the vein of like, don't use other people's cultures for your own purposes. Yeah. Yeah. Like we are not an authority on any of those practices or traditions at all. Like we are not. Nope. Please, please seek out like true practitioners of those traditions for those things. Um,
00:33:26
Speaker
um And that's that's regardless of what we're talking about or anything that you hear, like anything you hear or read, like seriously look for real practitioners for your information and for your products. Yeah, for sure. Just the thought, like, because I mentioned ah sprinkling salt around the per perimeter of your house, that is like a circle, essentially, even though a house is not usually round, but like,
00:33:55
Speaker
you know what I mean and then like what about can you cast a circle for your own protection other than with spell work? You totally you totally can because like I mean like whether you call it spell work or not I think it is spell work um even if it's just simply visualizing or you know what I mean like but yeah during a ritual to cast a circle through that but like can you I mean maybe you can cast a circle and maybe even if visualizing a bubble around you is almost the same thing anyway. Yeah, I would say I mean, it's it is not ceremonial magic.
Property Protection Rituals
00:34:33
Speaker
Because that is very outward. That is very external from right mind. But it doesn't have to be ceremonial magic for it to be as potent. You know, that's my opinion anyway. But I was gonna also say like, there are other ways like beyond the salt, like,
00:34:52
Speaker
The podcast, the witch bitch amateur hour that we are big fans of and have listened to for a long time, they have talked about, uh, protection magic that they have done. Each of them that involves either smoke or like a particular concoction, like a liquid. It's like a tea or some, some, some, some sort of concoction that is a liquid that they've used to protect their physical property yeah as well.
00:35:20
Speaker
like literally walking the property lines stuff into a spray. you You can do that. I don't think that's what um they have done. I think they have like literally like flicked the liquid as they take steps. But also smoke does the same thing. But it's like, again, when you approach it with your intention, that's where the work happens. That's where the the power comes from.
00:35:50
Speaker
So it works. It works. And I can't wait to have a property that has much more clearly defined property lines to be able to do something like that. Condos are not fun. um God damn it. This was really good. this I say this every time. I feel stupid that I keep repeating myself, but this was really good.
00:36:14
Speaker
we had some We had some shit to wade through, but we made it. Personal shit. God. Enough personal shit. Enough with the personal shit, damn it. Listen, so if you didn't have personal shit, you wouldn't be a person. Yeah, okay. If you say so. Whatever. Oh my god. ah I feel very prepared for...
00:36:42
Speaker
the rest of the year. Do you? Yeah. I hope so. Having gone through all of these techniques and all of the like, not only the techniques actually, but like the value in actually pursuing protection for your energy and and the returns that you get on it.
00:37:08
Speaker
Yeah. It's worth it. It's totally worth it. It's hard work, but it's worth it. So we hope that you agree, listener. oh Anything we said today was helpful. And made any kind of sense. um No, I know. we I know we made sense. It was good. Like I really, I feel very good about everything that, that we brought up. It's like, God, this is once again, this is why we do this, right?
