Holiday (emotional) Hangover remedy

a HOLIDAY (EMOTION) HANGOVER & HOW TO CURE IT...

If you're in the US, you've probably just celebrated Thanksgiving, and that means a lot of time spent with family and friends.  Time spent with family can be very energizing, or very draining.  You can walk away from events with a 'sluggish' feeling that you can't quite get ride of-and it might not always be from all of the food that you ate! 

Basically, when you are around a bunch of people, you are exchanging energy with them.  That feeling you get when you walk into a room and you can 'feel' the tension in the air-it's not just your imagination.  You send and receive energy, we all do.  Holidays can be times of joy and elation, but they can also be times of stress and frustration.  That's a lot of emotion and energy with those emotions. 

Some people are more sensitive to the energetic vibrations of negative emotions and have a harder time 'shaking' these vibrations after leaving gatherings.  That's who this post is for.  If you are still feeling that sluggishness, days after the Holiday, it's time to cleanse your energetic body.  Does that sound a little scary?  It's not, it's actually very simple and can be very relaxing.  I'm going to share with you some of my favorite and most effective ways to release any negative energy that is hanging around so that you can feel back to your normal self-in fact, you may feel even better after you try some of these suggestions.  

• Cord-cutting:  This is an effective method to 'cut' the negative energetic cords that have been created between you and others.  This method only releases the negative, never the positive connections.  Love always remains.  You don't have to have a specific person(s) in mind, you can ask that all negative cords be released from anyone that you have come in contact with before you begin.  If you have a specific person in mind, ask for the negative cords to be released from that person. 
  
  To begin, stand with both feet flat on the ground, hands at your side.  Feel the ground beneath your feet.  At this point, visualize any specific person that may come to mind.  Begin chopping with your arm, in a karate-chop fashion in front of your body, parallel to your body.  Chop like you are literally chopping a rope that has attached to you from someone else.  Move up and down your body, around to your back, under your feet and above your head.  As you are making the motion, say the words-"I am cutting all of the negative cords that have attached to me from others as well as any cords that I have sent to others."  Keep chopping until you feel a release throughout your body.  It may be a physical sigh, goosebumps, a yawn, a shiver, or even-a burp!  Or, if you are tuned into your body, you will just know when you are finished with the process.  Afterward, send a prayer or energetic wave of love to those that you just cut cords with.  Again, you don't have to know specifically who those people are.  Stand again with hands at your side and take 3 deep belly breaths in and out.  You are done!   
  
  
• Salt Bath:  Yep, a simple salt bath can help cleanse your energetic body of anything negative you may have picked up at a Holiday event.  Light some candles, put on relaxing music, maybe even choose a soothing meditation to use while you are bathing.  Fill the bath with warm water and add about 1 cup of iodized salt to the water.  Relax in the the bath for about 1/2 an hour or longer.  When you are finished, rinse yourself off with the shower head and visualize all of the negative energies that have attached to you rinsing right down the drain with the water.  It's good to stand under the water for a moment and take some deep breaths as you do this.  After you are done rinsing, pat yourself dry with a towel and that's it!

 

• Incense/Sage Aura cleansing:  Pick up some sage or incense or your choice (I prefer copal incense for this) and you are simply going to light the incense and cleanse your auric body like you would a room.  Move the sage/incense all over your body, above and below, and all around to cleanse all areas of any negative energy that could be hanging on.  You can add a mantra that you repeat to the cleansing, such as "I am releasing any negative energy that has attached to my physical or energetic body."  Or you can simply say a prayer beforehand asking for blessing and cleansing as you perform it.  Afterward send a prayer of love and appreciation for the cleansing.              

Those are my three favorite ways to help get rid of that Holiday {Emotional} hangover!  You can try each individually, or even do a combination of two or three together.  If you perform these and you are still feeling that heavy, sluggish feeling-it might be time for an Emotion Release session or some other energy work to help release anything stuck.
