King of Swords | Queen of Cups | Justice
When you decide to establish boundaries, it’s not always a personal attack on someone’s character. You might have allowed some poor behavior to occur for some time, but now, you have had enough of it and you get to decide. What do you want to feel energetically, emotionally, or spiritually? Who belongs in your space? You don’t need to tolerate experiences that leave you feeling exhausted, drained, or depleted. The energetic vampire is not always aware of their power to drain others. But some energetic vampires do know they have the power to drain and they know they have the power to project their own emotions and to manipulate what you feel if you have not put the appropriate boundaries in place. This has been a topic of discussion in some form for a while now. I know many of my readers are empathic, and a lot of the work for an empath is with protection, creating energetic boundaries and simply clearing the emotion gunk you pick up from others. Not everyone in your sphere is ethical or appropriate when it comes to your boundaries. I feel there really isn’t enough written about the ethics of energetic manipulation. Did you give your consent? No? Then why does this person get so much access to you or your world? Sometimes when we have a difficult time creating the necessary space, Lady Justice steps in to clear the space for us and she does so without regard to feelings. Justice can be a liberating force and even if it feels uncomfortable for something to be taken away from you or for your world to shift or change. Justice is in the business of creating balance. The message is: What is changing needed to be changed. Karma (Justice) is doing her work and she is clearing your energy field for you. The lessons from the past couple of years have strengthened your boundaries and now you know, you know from experience. It took a long time for this balance to be created, but now you get yourself back and as you reflect on the past couple of years, you know that you needed to learn this about others and yourself. This ending, this change, this shift will give you the strength you need to live your life the way you want to live it. No one has control of your free will but you. You were never comfortable with your free will be taken away. You never gave your consent for your power to be claimed as someone else’s prize. Moving forward, you know you did the right thing. You can learn from your mistakes. You now know that you don’t need to keep making the mistake of allowing people who are not a good match for your sensitive world access to it.
I hope this post resonates with someone—it’s lovely.
The issue I have is when people at work want to get to know you before really working with you. It feels like they want to be in your space beforehand. I don’t let people into my space right off the bat. I prefer to get a sense of a person through how they work and behave—then I’m willing to open up if they’re agreeable. I hope to find a place where I don’t feel pressured into socializing.
Thank you!
Establishing boundaries in the work place can be so tricky. I also find introverts and extroverts have different ways of extending themselves socially. It’s ok for you to create the boundary if it makes you feel safer and more comfortable.
This definitely resonated with me. Thank you for this post!
Of course!
