The Power of Your Ripple: How to Protect Yourself from Energetic Waves

 The first law of thermodynamics, also known as the Law of Conservation of Energy, tells us that energy can neither be created nor destroyed—it can only change forms or move from one place to another. Every action you take, every decision you make, sends out energetic ripples into the universe. And as energetic beings, we’re constantly being affected by the ripples made by others. Sometimes, when those ripples collide, they can create rough waters.

We've all felt it. You walk into a room full of people and the tension is palpable. You don’t need to hear words to know something is off—you can feel it. The air is thick. The energy feels sharp, almost dangerous, and it cuts right into you if you're not prepared. Suddenly, other people's anxiety becomes your own, and you find yourself swept up in waves of emotion that aren't even yours.

So, how do you protect yourself from these waves of energy without becoming a recluse or avoiding the world altogether?

The answer: You create your own ripple, with intention.

Instead of letting other people’s energy overwhelm you, push back with a pulse of your own. Imagine sending out a wave of your essence—your peace, your positivity, your strength—into the universe. This ripple forms a bubble around you, a protective barrier that allows the energy of others to slide off, like water off a duck’s back.

Here’s a simple practice to try the next time you’re out in the world: Picture a shockwave of energy expanding from your core, radiating outward. Feel the calm and protection you’ve created within your own bubble. This is your ripple. Watch how others respond to it. If you send out happiness, you might notice people smiling back at you, feeling your warmth. If you send out a pulse of protection, others will instinctively respect your energetic boundary.

The beauty of this practice is that whatever energy you need—whether it’s peace, safety, or positivity—you have the power to create it. You decide what kind of ripple you want to send out into the world.

So next time you’re feeling overwhelmed, remember: You’re not at the mercy of other people’s energy. You have the power to shift the atmosphere. Go ahead, make your ripple—just be mindful of the kind of energy you’re putting out there. The ripple you send will always return to you.
