2020 is challenging our collective sense of control. Leaders are grasping to control the uncontrollable. Controlling what they can, before having enough information to know whether it will help or harm.
There is an energy that accompanies control. You may recognize it from experiences in your family, socially or at work. It requires no words but has power that alters what is possible, your options available in a moment of time.
Control in its positive form helps us navigate life, make healthy choices, achieve a goal, not crash our car. We relax with this sense of control because we know what to expect from taking a certain action. Healthy control for an energy sensitive is riverbanks or boundaries to direct the energy moving through us.
At times like these, when people feel so much is out of their control, the negative side of control rears its ugly head. What we are used to relying on is not reliable. Empaths feel this controlling energy as more than an external set of rules.
During the time of lock down clients and students have reported feeling their heart squeezed, tension in their belly and brain fog. All of these point to empathically sensing external control energy.
When someone wants you to do something their way and tries to control the outcome they may use:
- Manipulation—appealing to your desire to please
- Direct Order—that threatens punishment for non-compliance
Neutralizing control energy is the key to not getting hooked by it...
