Sure, I receive the energies of other people all the time. It happens basically every time I talk with a person, and in person, a talk combined with the emotional quality of the interaction. If I don't want that energy, it can be cleared away with a connection to someone else's energy that I do like.

I think when you're attracted to someone you're attracted to things you like in yourself. So when they're gone, you may take on parts of them. Practice keeping the parts you like, and letting go of the parts you don't like. You don't have to throw out the whole person. It sounds like you do the opposite of what most people I see do; cutting off all memories of someone. I think if you let yourself embrace the parts left that you like, your body will be more satisfied to let the rest go. Those parts aren't just them, it's also you, a part of you you wanted when you got together with them.

i saw a video about that and I can't remember who her name was to tell you...i'm asking a friend and I'll post it when I get it. It's a lady that talks about energy, relationships, and things like that. She talks about "tanking" which is when you take on that energy of another person and how its passed back and forth. Hopefully she'll still have it and I can let you know. I do that as well, moreso with animals and with those closest to me. I see an energy healer for redirecting, but methods such as bach flowers, homeopathy, and things like that can also address energy issues such as that. It's hard. I work with cancer patients, and if I am going to have a lot of patient to patient contact, I use a rose quartz for protection. Certain crystals can help to protect you, rose quartz being one of them. You can put one around your neck, in your bra, anything like that. Basic large crystals work too, just be sure that you cleanse them occasionally.

No 1 you have to stop going into other peoples energy it is a bad use of your skills and a bad habit. AND while you are hopping about they cold be stealing your energy if its nce light and jiucy!

No 2 if you are going around feeling and absorbing other peoples energy is your solar Plxus to OPEN? take a look and feel???
Make it 5cms across and spin it to the right and to the good make it bright and sunny yellow and place the archtype of the Warrior there!

Empaths and Clairsentients need to have good connection to the earth!!!! shall i repeat that? AND work on their boundaries - where does your aura ened and theirs begin?

Strengthen all the three lower chakras and possibly send ribbon to the earth from each of them to the centre or heart of the mother earth!

If you are soaking up other peples energy you are a sponge and prob getting the worst of it like their negativity!

Re-inforce each chakra of the lower rthree by Root see it red and spin to the right and to the good throw ribbon to the heart of the earth and sing down your birth name place the positive archetype MOTHER ( here see all p[os mother things or people) incidently neg archtype is victim!

Same for the sacral Orange connect to earth etc AND spin right and good Empress (ladies) Emperor (males) neg = martyr!?

Solar Plexus Yello " " " " " " " " " Warrior neg = servant

You can see if its neg by the archtypal energies are you being a victim servant matryr?

These 3 are vital to us empaths etc because it is here we are often weak.

Finally not to be taken lightly - you can meditate on the 2nd & 3RD AND FEEL IF THER IS ANY FROZEN EMOTIONAL NEG ENERGY here? You will know this if in extreme instance of neg emotional situations it becomes awash over you and you become parylised? Frozen and unable to act or react and perhaps the following day or so you suddenly wonder why you didnt do or say or speak up etc.

In which case you need to sit meditate breath 15 mins or so then go to the 2nd and poss 3rd chakra and ask for a spiritual Fire to melt away this frozen energy and and see it turn to cosmic dust and MUST see it dissappear into the cosmos to become somthing good for all concerned!!!!! This can be quite a traum,atic thing t do and you may have to deal with stuff! because of freezing it needs to be dealt with once and for all! NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED AND CHOOSE THE TIME AND PLACE CAREFULLY!

bOUNDARIES pLACE AN electric blue AROUND YOUR ENTIRE AURA ARMS LENGTH IN ALL DIRECTIONS.
and practice putting it there all the time!!! this will FILTER neg influences and you will be able to tell more distinctly whats yours and whats theirs! You may still sense it but not ABSORB it BECAUSE it is not yours to Heal! We each are responsible for our own life tasks and must learn to master our energy.

Big Love good luck
