Energy Tools

Emotional Energy Gauge (13 min)
This visualization tool helps you separate your emotions from the emotions of other people and reset your emotional energy. The audio begins with an explanation of the tool and then walks you through the process of using it, step-by-step. The meditation starts at 3:55.
     Summary of Steps
  • Identify the person or situation you want to address.
  • Visualize two gauges.
             -- One gauge for the % of your emotions/feelings that are yours.
             -- A second gauge for the % of the emotions/feeling you are picking up 
                 from the other person.
  • Allow the gauges to change.
             -- Bring the other person’s gauge down to zero, if possible.
             -- Bring your gauge up as high as possible.
             -- Optional: Visually ground the gauges, forgive yourself, tune into
​                  intuitive guidance.
  • Notice your physiological reactions (yawning, sighing, burping, relaxation).  Honor and allow to flow any emotions that arise. See these reactions as a positive validation of the shift you ​are creating.  
  • When complete, release the gauges and clear your visualization (dissolve, erase, or explode the gauges).
  • Center in your heart. Appreciate yourself for completing this process.
