Before i go into these points, i would like to include an important point to note
~Before you try to sense a person’s energy, you have to be very mindful. You cannot sense another person’s energy based off your projections or opinions. If you do this, it becomes judgemental and that is not what our blog is for. keep a clear mind when trying to sense someone’s energy. Doing this could also help you to know if someone is in need of help, therapy or coaching. With that being stated, let’s go!
1. FEEL EMOTIONAL RESONANCE
Pay attention to how you feel when you are in the midst of this person or set of people. Do you feel motivated, calm, peaceful or rigid, agitated, defensive or uncomfortable when they’re around? The way you feel around them is a huge sign of the kind of energy they radiate. If continue to get a particular feeling when that person is around, for example; let’s say you feel really confused when you’re with someone, then it is possible that they exist on the same frequency as confusion or they have characteristics that may trigger the confusion in you, making you to doubt yourself and your plans. In this case it is advisable to analyze what he or she is projecting towards you, understand what they do or say that make you confused and act on it by talking to them or politely setting your standards. Better still, try as much as you can to keep things private. Say very little and avoid being in close spaces for a prolonged amounts of time with this person.
2. OBSERVE THE THINGS THAT HAPPEN WHEN THAT PERSON IS AROUND
To sense other people’s energy, observe the things that happen when that person is around. Notice how their presence affects the atmosphere and the people around them. Are interactions more positive and lively, or do they become tense and uncomfortable? Pay attention to how you and others feel emotionally and physically in their presence. Do you feel energized and happy, or drained and anxious? Additionally, observe if there are any noticeable changes in the group’s dynamics, such as increased collaboration or conflicts. These observations can provide valuable insights into the type of energy the person brings into the environment. You may not be able to fully avoid these kinds of people in a group setting if they affect you negatively but it’s best to place them in their lane by stating things you do not like clearly and openly. Set strong boundaries and never allow them or their actions to control you or your moods.
3. PAY ATTENTION TO CONVERSATION, TONE OF VOICE AND NON-VERBAL CUES
To sense someone’s energy, observe their body language, such as posture, gestures, and eye contact. Open postures and good eye contact suggest receptivity and confidence, while closed postures and avoidance of eye contact may indicate defensiveness or discomfort. Listen to their tone of voice; a calm and steady tone reflects confidence, while high pitch or loud volume can signal excitement or anxiety. The pacing of their speech can also provide clues, with fast speech indicating nervousness or enthusiasm, and slow speech suggesting calmness or reluctance. Pay attention to the content and engagement in conversations: positive and uplifting discussions often come from those with positive energy, while negative or critical conversations are typically from those with negative energy. Genuine interest in the conversation also signifies positive energy.
4. ANALYZE HOW THIS PERSON CONTRIBUTES TO YOUR LIFE
Analyzing how a person contributes to your life involves reflecting on the impact they have on your emotional, mental, and physical well-being. Consider whether their presence and interactions leave you feeling uplifted, supported, and inspired, or if they drain your energy, cause stress, and create negativity. Evaluate the nature of your relationship: Do they offer encouragement, understanding, and positivity, or do they often bring criticism, conflict, and discouragement? Assessing these aspects helps you understand the type of energy they bring into your life and whether it aligns with your well-being and personal growth goals. Not that it is important to also analyze yourself and how you contribute to this person’s life before you make conclusions. Not that a relationship with a friend or family member goes both ways and some people may have different moods where they radiate different energies, learn to be empathetic and try to be patient. You make decisions only if this person’s energy is constantly negative.
5. ACCESS THEIR SURROUNDINGS, WHAT DO THEY ATTRACT?
The environment someone creates around themselves can reflect their energy. Cluttered, chaotic spaces might indicate stress or disorganization, while clean, orderly spaces might suggest calmness and control. There are some situations where an environment whether tidy or untidy CANNOT reflect a person’s energy. Someone might be a clean freak but still have a disorganized life. A person’s surrounding not only includes the physical aspects, it also has to do with other factors such as the friends they keep, the kind of people they date and the kinds of situation they permit/allow to happen in their lives. There are situations we can control and others we can’t. If a person cannot set boundaries and avoid some certain hazardous, unsafe and unconventional things, then that is the kind of energy or aura they posses especially if these things happen continuously. It is advisable to keep these kinds of people far away from you as possible unless you are very strong minded or else they might pull you down with them.
