How To Block The Energy Of Negative People

It seems that negativity and negative people are becoming more prevalent these days. Just a decade ago, I can remember people being afraid to be “publicly negative.” No one wanted to be seen as being negative, or as someone that brought others down.

I find myself avoiding large groups and big events, because I just don’t want negativity and lower vibrations impacting my happy life. But I do go to activities and fun events for the sake of my 3-year-old child, and often some of the moms, women who are forming impressionable minds, can’t seem to help themselves, but go to the negative! A few weeks ago, for example, I complimented a mom on her daughter’s excellent vocabulary and she told me no one had ever said anything like that to her before. She said people just tear each other down nowadays. How sad.

I am currently five months pregnant. I keep having other moms asking me how I am feeling, which is very nice. However, when I say I feel great, they seem surprised, even sometimes put off. They ask, “You don’t have any unpleasant symptoms?” Well, yes. Of course, I do. I’m pregnant! But whatever the symptom is, mild though it may be, it is still a gift to me – a pleasant reminder that I am so incredibly lucky. Even when I got morning sickness, I remember thinking during it, it’s okay, it’s okay, it will be over soon. You’re lucky. This means you’re pregnant!

Actually, I am up writing this blog at 3:00am, because I have pregnancy insomnia. Right now, I am up, because I am pregnant. It’s okay. I’ll sleep properly again in another five years, when both of my kids are older. Meanwhile, I’m getting a lot done that I can’t do during the day.

I’m  a firm believer in venting to friends. I see that people I care about, who hold their anger and sadness in, tend to not do very well emotionally. However, that is very different from constantly venting about every little irritation in front of strangers or acquaintances. That changes the vibration of the room. It can change the vibration of the people in the room too, if they started off having a lower vibration. It can even make people physically sick. It will definitely wear people down.

I refuse to ever insult people. If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. Or find a compliment in there somewhere. There is something worth complimenting in every human being.

I am also having more and more clients call me these days due to negativity, because they are feeling drained by toxic people in their family or work. So, how do you deal with this problem? Well, if these people cannot be avoided, which should always be the first and best option, there are many other ways to block their energy from causing you harm.

When a person is around me and they start spewing negativity, I compliment them, for example. Sometimes I even interrupt them!  It usually stops them in their tracks. Keep in mind, these people are miserable. They are hurting. Spending five minutes with them can make you sick to your stomach. Now, imagine being them 24/7! Often just complimenting them puts a smile on their face, and gives them a few minutes break from the nightmare that is their life, and into which they want to pull you down with them.

I also send negative people some white light energy. I smile with joy and envision them surrounded by white, healing, loving light. If they block it, at least I am at peace. You can’t send light and be stressed, or in a negative place. And, remember, whatever you send to another, good or bad, comes back to you! So, you are in essence also sending yourself some white light love.

Additionally, whenever I am around negative ‘energy vampires,’ I keep my hands on my third chakra, the solar plexus. Many of these people are energy stealers, since they have cut themselves off from the Source. They no longer smell the flowers, smile at the birds chirping, or see the vibrant colors in nature. They do not live with an attitude of gratitude and appreciation for whatever is still good in their life.

They bow their heads in a sea of toxic waste, buried in their cell phones, trying to stay distracted from the hate and sadness they are living. They have cut themselves off from any joy in life. Because of this. They often steal energy from others, almost always unconsciously. Protecting your third chakra is therefore important, so they cannot drain that vital energy center.

If someone is intentionally trying to insult you, or tear you down, pretend like they are complimenting you. Just don’t get sucked in. That has been one of the most effective things I have found to do when I am around jealous, insecure, competitive people. I don’t hear their negativity, or I pretend I don’t hear it.

You don’t need to get even. Keep out of the ‘revenge’ mindset. It’s unhealthy and it keeps you locked into attracting more of those kinds of people than you need to. You can’t avoid all negative people. They are everywhere. However, you don’t want to attract more than you have to, because you are locked into a mindset of vengeance or retribution.

Turn their negativity around. Don’t get mad or hurt. They smell it, sense it and crave it. They want you to feel the misery they feel. Happiness and self-esteem is the best way to drive a miserable person crazy, and it makes them turn elsewhere.
