First off, what is negative energy?
Have you ever met someone for the first time and felt a great, happy energy that feels contagious? That's positive energy. Now think about a time you met someone for the first time and instantly felt dragged down. That's negative energy. And you've absorbed that negative energy.
Energy is infectious and often we aren't even aware of the exact reason why we walk away feeling down, or pessimistic, or in a completely negative state of mind. Being in the presence of people or situations with negative energy is not only mentally and emotionally draining....it is physically draining too.
Negative Energy people are toxic to our sense of self and spirit. They are often judgmental, unhappy, fast to put others down, insecure and serial complainers. As a result, you might feel yourself shrinking or uncomfortable. While your instinct might be to walk away, sometimes you are stuck with this "Negative Nelly" because she may be signing your paycheck or may be a family member.
There are times when you can disconnect yourself from the source of negative energy, but more times than not....we have to find a way to deflect and manage that toxic person or situation. A way to stop absorbing that negativeness.
One way of managing this is with the use of crystals, and I'm going to share with you my personal favorites.
