Why You're Exhausted: The Science Behind Being a Human Antenna
The complete neurological explanation for why you absorb everyone's emotions, feel disgusted in crowds, and need three hours to recover from Target, plus the actual protocols that work
Brace yourself, love, because if you think being a “better antenna” is a spiritual flex, let me stop you right there. It’s a neurological diagnosis that sounds like a compliment but lives like having 8K vision in a world still operating on analog TV. Your nervous system is literally an ultra-HD sensor while everyone else is running on Nokia 3310 energy-and then you wonder why your head throbs after 10 minutes at the DMV.
This is cosmic sensitivity disorder and you’re living it like having fiber-optic internet in a village where everyone’s still waiting for dial-up to load a single image. Welcome to hell. Population: you and three other people who also can’t go to Target without needing a three-hour nap and an emotional support animal afterward.
You don’t “feel” other people. You’re catching their neural networks in real-time. And THAT’S why you’re exhausted.
You’re not “empathic”: you’re unshielded. You’re wide open to every frequency like a pyramid without a lid, a Bluetooth speaker that auto-connects to every sad playlist within a 50-foot radius, a WiFi router whose password is literally just “1234” and you’re wondering why seventeen devices you’ve never seen before are streaming HD porn on your bandwidth.
Here’s what actually happens: You walk past someone... Your body downloads their fear, grief, tension, sexual impulse, micro-trauma, chemistry, and the entire fractal shape of their Field.
Boom. Instant emotional malware. No antivirus. No firewall. Just raw data flooding your system like you clicked “Yes, I agree to terms and conditions” without reading them, except the terms were “become a human sponge for everyone’s unprocessed shit.” This isn’t a gift. This is an operational liability.
This is like being born with superhearing in a world where everyone’s constantly screaming and then people tell you “wow, what a blessing” and you’re like “I can hear my neighbor’s marriage falling apart through three walls, WHAT PART OF THIS IS A BLESSING, KAREN?”
Why Your Antenna Is On Steroids
Let me break down this dumpster fire into convenient biological categories so you understand why you’re not crazy, just neurologically overpowered:
① Nervous system with fewer filters (AKA: Your brain forgot to install spam protection)
Your body has:
· Thinner amygdala: yes, physically thinner, like someone took a cheese grater to your fear center and now everything gets through. Scientists measured this shit in brain scans and were like “well that explains why you cry at dog food commercials.”
· Faster mirror neurons: they copy-paste other people’s emotional states like ctrl+C on crack. While normal people take 10 minutes to notice someone’s upset, your mirror neurons are already three chapters deep into their trauma novel before you even say hello.
· Stronger interoception: that’s fancy science speak for “you feel EVERYTHING inside your body.” Your internal awareness is turned up to 11. Most people’s interoception is like checking your phone once an hour. Yours is like having 38 browser tabs open, each one playing a different video, all at maximum volume, and someone’s asking you to concentrate on a spreadsheet.
· Greater somatic permeability: your tissues are basically tissue paper. Normal people have fascia like Tupperware-sealed, contained, nothing leaking. You have fascia like those biodegradable plastic bags that disintegrate the second you put something damp in them. Everything leaks out, everything leaks in, and you’re just standing there like “why is my shoulder suddenly concerned about climate change?”
· Less inhibition in prefrontal cortex: the part of your brain that’s supposed to say “not my circus, not my monkeys” apparently called in sick permanently. Your prefrontal cortex is that friend who says “I’m not getting involved” and then immediately gets involved. It has ONE JOB-filter incoming information-and instead it’s just waving everything through like a bored TSA agent on a Friday afternoon.
Translation: What takes other people 10 years of friendship to notice, you pick up in 0.7 seconds. Your mirror neurons are doing speedrun any% world record while everyone else is still reading the tutorial and trying to figure out which button jumps.
Here’s the actual biology (because I promised you science, not spiritual bypassing):
Your GABA receptors: those are the chill-out neurotransmitters, the ones that tell your brain “it’s fine, we’re safe, you can relax now”-are lower in your amygdala than average humans. It’s like your brain is running a nightclub where the bouncers quit, so now any random emotion can just walk in, no ID required.
Your thalamus: the sensory filter that’s supposed to decide what gets through to consciousness-is running with the gates wide open like it’s Black Friday at Walmart and everything’s free. Normal people’s thalamus is like a selective VIP club: “Sorry, you’re not on the list.” Yours is like “EVERYONE GETS IN! FREE DRINKS! CHAOS WELCOME!”
When someone near you feels fear, your amygdala fires AS IF IT’S YOUR FEAR because your brain doesn’t distinguish “their signal” from “my signal” fast enough. The reaction time is so short you’re basically experiencing their panic attack before they even realize they’re having one. It’s like your phone auto-downloads every Bluetooth file in range without asking permission. Did you consent to this? No. Does this make life easier? Absolutely not. Is this because you’re “spiritual”? NO, LOVE-it’s because you have fewer GABAergic inhibitory interneurons and a weakened sensory gating mechanism.
Science, not sorcery. Though honestly, sorcery might be easier to fix. At least you could burn some sage or some shit. Good luck burning sage at your GABAergic inhibitory interneurons.
② High “Field receptivity” frequency signature (Translation: Your radio picks up stations that don’t exist yet)
Meaning: The Field penetrates your perception more easily.
That’s why you see, hear, feel “more.” Not because you’re spiritually advanced-because your sensory threshold is lower and your nervous system hasn’t learned to say “no thank you” to incoming data. Your nervous system is that people-pleaser friend who says yes to every invitation and then wonders why they’re exhausted. Except instead of social events, it’s saying yes to every emotional frequency within a three-mile radius.
You’re the person at the party who can hear seventeen separate conversations simultaneously while everyone else just hears “noise.” You’re tracking Karen’s passive-aggressive comment about the guacamole, Brad’s suppressed rage about his parking ticket, someone’s heartbreak happening in real-time over by the bathroom, and your own thoughts trying desperately to remember why you came to this party in the first place.
Congratulations, it’s horrible. It’s like having a superpower except the superpower is “aware of everyone’s suffering at all times” which is just... the worst superpower. Where’s the superhero movie about that? “Empathy Woman: She Feels Everything and Is Tired!”
③ Collective distortions fly into your body like pop-up ads (Except you can’t install AdBlock for human emotions)
You’re not “in their pain.” You’re in their frequency imprint before they even notice it themselves.
It’s like your phone vibrates every time someone within three blocks has an emotional cough. And you’re checking your phone going “who’s texting me?” but it’s not a text, it’s just... Barbara from two streets over having a mild existential crisis about her mortgage and somehow YOU’RE the one getting the notification.
And then you’re supposed to... what? Go to therapy about why you’re anxious? Babe, you’re not anxious. You’re a receiver picking up everyone’s anxiety like a radio tower, and nobody told you how to change the station. You’re not the problem-you’re just the only person in the room who can hear the alarm going off while everyone else is like “what alarm?”
You’re like public Wi-Fi at an airport with the password “password123.” Technically you exist for yourself, but practically 38 people are trying to connect without asking permission. Half of them are streaming Netflix in 4K, someone’s downloading an entire Linux distribution, there’s definitely some sketchy torrenting happening, and you’re just trying to check your email without crashing.
Your bandwidth is maxed out serving other people’s content. And then someone says: “But you’re so open and warm!” Yeah, Karen. I’m a hotspot without a firewall, not a spiritual guide. I’m not open-I’m UNPROTECTED. There’s a difference between hospitality and having no doors on your house while strangers wander through eating from your fridge.
WHAT DO YOU ACTUALLY DO ABOUT IT?
The problem isn’t your sensitivity. The problem is body boundary. Let me explain this in terms that actually make sense instead of that “just set boundaries” advice people love to give that’s about as useful as telling a drowning person to “just breathe.”
Better antennas were NEVER taught how to hold:
· Boundary in the fascia: that connective tissue wrap around your entire body that’s supposed to hold you together like shrink-wrap but instead it’s more like... loose netting. The kind of netting that’s supposed to keep oranges together but half of them have already rolled out.
· Energetic closing on the exhale: this is real physiology, not woo-woo shit. Your exhale activates your parasympathetic nervous system, which literally tells your body “we can close up shop now, threat assessment over.”
· Proprioceptive anchoring: fancy words for “knowing where the fuck you end in physical space.” Most people know where their body stops and the world begins. You? You’re out here like those optical illusions where you can’t tell if it’s a vase or two faces. Except it’s “is this my anxiety or Barbara’s from two streets over?”
· “Self” as density, not as an idea: your concept of “you” is floating somewhere in the vicinity of your body like a friendly ghost. We need to get you INSIDE your meat suit. Revolutionary concept, I know-actually inhabiting your own body.
Here’s what happens without these: You walk past someone * Your body adopts their neuro-signal * Your brain says: “This is mine now.” Except it’s not yours. It’s just unfiltered.
It’s like your body is running an open-source operating system and just installed whatever random code walked by. No security check. No “are you sure you want to run this program?” Just straight-up execution of whatever emotional software wandered into range.
And because your fascia isn’t tightly compressed around your skeletal structure, you’re like an unwrapped sandwich sitting on a park bench. Everything leaks out, everything leaks in, and you’re somehow attracting pigeons even though you’re pretty sure sandwiches don’t normally do that.
Normal people have fascia like Tupperware-sealed, secure, yesterday’s leftovers still fresh. You have fascia like those plastic bags that disintegrate the second you put something damp in them, and now everything’s on the floor and you’re crying in the grocery store parking lot and you’re not even sure what you’re crying about but you think it might be related to the produce manager’s unresolved daddy issues.
BODY ACTIVATION (Where We Get Practical, Finally)
Here’s why this technique actually works-and no, it’s not placebo, it’s vagal nerve shit: When you do a slow exhale with the sound “ffffff,” you activate the parasympathetic branch of your autonomic nervous system. This PHYSICALLY closes your “social engagement” loop and returns you to “self-regulation” mode.
Basically, you’re turning off Bluetooth. Let me explain the science because it’s actually fascinating and not nearly enough people know this:
Your vagus nerve-that wandering nerve running from your brainstem down through your organs like the world’s most important electrical wire-has two branches:
Ventral vagal (safe and social): “Everything’s cool, we can connect with others, the world is safe enough to be open.”
Dorsal vagal (shutdown and freeze): “NOPE. Shutting down all systems. We’re playing dead now. This is fine. We’re fine. Everything’s fine.” (Narrator: Everything was not fine.)
When you exhale slowly with tone-that “ffffff” sound-you’re stimulating the ventral branch, which tells your body: “We’re not in danger. We can stop scanning for threats. We can stop merging with everyone else’s nervous system just to figure out if we’re safe. We can stop being a human smoke detector that’s going off because someone three counties over burned toast.”
This isn’t manifestation. This isn’t “raising your vibration.” This is your parasympathetic nervous system doing its actual job, which is to calm your shit down after your sympathetic nervous system spent all day treating a trip to Costco like Navy SEAL training.
The actual technique (pay attention, this is the good part): Do a slow exhale “fffffff“ down the front of your body all the way to your pelvis. Let your shoulders drop like they’re made of lead and gravity just got turned up to 11. Palm on lower belly. Feel this: “Density = me. Space = them.“
Your body is DENSE. It has MASS. It’s not a cloud, not an idea, not a vibe: it’s a physical object with edges and substance. When your body becomes denser, other people’s energy doesn’t pass through.
Think of it like this: Right now you’re a screen door. Looks like a door, acts like a door, technically provides a boundary, but everything still comes through. We’re making you a wooden door. Same house, better protection, nothing’s flying through anymore, and honestly you should’ve done this years ago because the mosquitoes of other people’s emotions have been eating you alive.
You’re not an empathic victim walking around collecting everyone’s emotional debris like some kind of sad spiritual garbage collector. You’re a neurological laser that catches everything passing by you because your sensory equipment is THAT GOOD. This is a gift when it’s regulated-like having perfect pitch when you’re a musician. It’s hell when it’s not, like having perfect pitch when you’re at a middle school band concert and someone’s murdering the clarinet while another kid plays the trumpet like they’re angry at it.
But good news? The boundary isn’t built in your head-it’s built in your body. And your body is ready for the upgrade. It’s been ready. It’s just been waiting for the instruction manual to arrive, and surprise-you’re reading it right now. Welcome to page one of Actually Living In Your Own Body And Not Everyone Else’s.
WHY IS TODAY ALMOST ALL “DIRTY FIELD”? (The Uncomfortable Truth About Why Everyone Feels Like Shit)
✦ Collective nervous system is in chronic stress (AKA: Everyone’s Running On Fumes And Calling It Productivity)
People walk through the world:
· Overloaded (too much input, too much information, too much everything, their circuits are fried like they’ve been running 47 programs on a computer from 2003)
· Dissociated (mentally checked out, nobody’s home, lights are on but the building’s been abandoned since 2016)
· Dysregulated (their nervous system is playing death metal at 3am while they’re trying to sleep)
· Full of fear, anxiety, and suppressed aggression (walking around like grenades with smiles painted on them)
· Without centering (no connection to body, breath, or reality)
· Without contact with themselves (they don’t know what they feel, what they want, or who they are-they just know they’re tired and something’s wrong but they can’t name it)
This creates energetic smog. Not metaphorically-neurologically. A body in survival mode produces:
· Irregular cortisol (stress hormone on a random schedule like a broken slot machine)
· Discomfort in the nervous system (constantly on edge, waiting for the other shoe to drop)
· Micro-contractions (body is clenched ALL THE TIME, holding tension like a grudge)
· A “field” that’s murky, scattered, aggressive, or desperate (radiating outward like emotional pollution)
When you pass through that, your body says: “This isn’t compatible with my frequency.” And that’s why you feel disgusted. Your nervous system is like a person with a refined palate walking into a gas station hot dog situation. Technically it’s food. Technically you could consume it. But every cell in your body is screaming “absolutely fucking not.” It’s not snobbery-it’s self-preservation. Your body recognizes poison when it encounters it, even if the poison is wearing business casual and asking how your weekend was.
✦ Second problem: most people don’t know they’re separate from their field (They’re Running Someone Else’s Operating System)
They’re operating in:
· Mental autopilot (haven’t had an original thought in six years, just running scripts installed by society)
· Suppressed emotions (stuffing feelings down like they’re packing a suitcase that won’t close, sitting on it, breaking the zipper, wondering why everything hurts)
· Social fear (terrified of what people think, performing constantly, exhausting)
· Internal chaos (inside is a tornado but outside is “I’m fine, how are you?”)
· Unresolved fractals (old wounds running the show like a board of directors made entirely of trauma)
· Denial (refusing to look at what’s actually happening because if they did they’d have to CHANGE SOMETHING)
This creates “sticky aura.” This isn’t spiritual. This is neurological: If the body is clenched, field is mud. If the body is dead inside, field is cold and empty. If the body is stressed, field is toxic. You feel it because you haven’t gone numb yet. You haven’t successfully dissociated from reality like everyone else. And now you’re the problem? No, love. You’re the canary in the coal mine. You’re the smoke detector going off while everyone else is like “it’s probably fine.”
WHY IS TODAY WORSE THAN EVER? (The Triple Threat of Modern Existence)
Three reasons we’re living in unprecedented field collapse:
① People live separated from their bodies (The Great Dissociation)
... They live entirely in their heads (thinking, analyzing, worrying, never FEELING)
... They don’t breathe (shallow chest breathing, chronic low-grade oxygen deprivation)
... They don’t express emotions (professionalism = emotional constipation)
... They don’t process anything (just accumulate, accumulate, accumulate until they break)
This creates stagnation, and stagnation stinks. Literally, energetically. It’s like emotional plumbing that hasn’t been cleaned in fifteen years. You can’t see it, but you sure as hell can smell it when you get close. Energy that doesn’t move becomes toxic. Emotions that don’t flow become poisonous. And most people are walking around like backed-up sewage systems in human form, wondering why nobody wants to stand too close.
② Collective fear and collapse of stable structures (The Apocalypse in Slow Motion)
The planet’s field is in constant “wtf” vibration. And as an antenna, you’re receiving that frequency. We’re living through the apocalypse in slow motion-climate crisis, economic collapse, social disintegration, democracy crumbling, algorithms replacing human connection-and everyone’s pretending it’s fine while their nervous systems scream in frequencies only you can hear. It’s like being the only sober person at a party where everyone’s convinced they’re fine to drive. You can see the disaster coming. They can’t. And they’re mad at you for not having fun.
③ Social pressure and screen overload (Digital Dissociation Disorder)
Brain suppressed by infinite information. Body dead from sitting, staring, scrolling. Field in chaos from constant stimulation and zero integration. People are:
· Scrolling at 2am wondering why they’re anxious
· Comparing their insides to everyone’s outsides
· Consuming trauma tourism as entertainment
· Never being bored (which is when processing happens)
· Never being alone with themselves (which is when healing happens)
When you enter a group of people: you enter collective dysregulation. That’s why you feel disgusted. It’s normal to feel disgusted. It means you’re alive and your nervous system still works.
WHAT ARE YOU ACTUALLY DOING AS AN ANTENNA? (Your Superpower Is Also Your Curse)
Here’s the most important thing: You have a high degree of coherence in your field. Your field is ORGANIZED. Clear. Structured. Like a well-maintained garden versus everyone else’s abandoned lot full of weeds and shopping carts. When such a person enters someone else’s smog-field… There’s instant “information shock.” Two incompatible systems trying to occupy the same space.
The body registers this as:
· “Dirtiness” (sensing their stagnation)
· “Heaviness” (feeling their density, their stuck-ness)
· “Repulsion” (your system knows this isn’t compatible)
· “Like something touched me from outside” (because something DID-their field)
THIS ISN’T PSYCHOLOGY. This is physics. When an orderly field enters a chaotic field, it feels all that chaos as disruption in its own system. Like a tuning fork that’s properly calibrated being placed next to one that’s broken. It doesn’t make a harmonious sound-it makes a PAINFUL sound.
That’s why you immediately contract. Not because you’re “weak.” But because you’re misaligned with collective dysregulation. You’re a tuning fork that’s still calibrated walking through a room full of broken instruments. Of course it’s going to hurt your fucking ears. The miracle isn’t that you feel disgusted. The miracle is that you’re still FUNCTIONAL.
WHY ARE SOME AURAS “WORSE” TODAY? (The Collective Is Not Okay)
Because today’s collective reality = Psychological Instagram + economic crisis + emotional dissociation + digital addiction + trauma with nowhere to go + pretending everything’s fine while the world burns.
Meaning: People are simultaneously empty and overloaded. That’s the worst possible combination for a field:
· Emptiness pulls (they’re energetic vacuums, trying to fill the void with anything external)
· Overload repels (they’re so full of unprocessed shit that it’s spilling out everywhere)
So they’re both pulling energy IN and spraying chaos OUT at the same time. It’s like standing next to someone who’s simultaneously a vacuum cleaner and a leaf blower. You’re getting sucked toward them AND blasted away from them. It’s confusing. It’s exhausting. It makes no sense.
That’s why people have become “energetic leeches without intention”: not because they’re bad people, but because they’re broken. They’re not trying to steal your energy. They’re just... leaking everywhere, drowning in their own unprocessed material, and you happen to be walking by looking stable, and their nervous system latches on like you’re a life raft. Except you didn’t sign up to be a life raft. And now you’re both sinking.
So, when you feel “I walk past people and everything in me contracts, disgusts, clouds, darkens”… that’s not because you’re “too sensitive.” That’s because you’re not numb yet. Everyone else has successfully anesthetized themselves to the collective horror show. You haven’t. And now you’re wondering why you’re the only one who can smell the smoke while everyone’s sitting in the burning building like it’s fine. Spoiler: It’s not fine. You’re not crazy. Everyone else is dissociated.
WHY DOES ALL THIS FEEL DISGUSTING TO YOU? (Validation Time)
Because it’s NOT normal to live in smog.
Because you see and feel what most people have numbed themselves to so they wouldn’t go insane. And because your nervous system is more advanced, not weaker. Let me say that again for the people in the back who’ve been told their whole lives they’re “too sensitive”:
Your nervous system is MORE ADVANCED, not weaker. You’re not broken. You’re not flawed. You’re not “too much.” You’re functioning at a higher resolution and everyone else is on low-power mode wondering why you keep “overreacting” to things they can’t perceive. You’re the type of antenna that naturally “cleans” space by registering what’s actually there instead of what people PRETEND is there. But you don’t have to carry anything.
You can learn: Feel; Register; Release. Without absorption. Without drama. Without burnout. Without spending three days in bed recovering from a trip to Target.
AND NOW THE DEEPEST PART: WHY DO YOU FEEL IT LIKE THIS?
Because you have: 1. High coherence: Your field is clear, focused, centered (like a well-maintained garden vs everyone else’s abandoned lot)
2. High sensory permeability: Your antenna works on a higher spectrum, picking up finer signals (HD vs standard definition)
3. High degree of regulation: Your body is present enough to know what’s “yours” and what’s “theirs” (most people can’t tell the difference)
4. Active somatic intelligence: Your ribs, plexus, and belly scan better than your brain (your body is a genius, your brain is the intern)
5. Inability to tolerate inauthenticity: You immediately see lies, performance, dirt, and emotional smog (you can’t unsee it, can’t unfeel it)
In other words: You’re simply no longer calibrated to human chaos.
You’ve upgraded and everyone else is still running Windows 95 wondering why you can’t open their files. You’re speaking a different language. Operating on a different frequency. And when you try to interact with the old frequency, it feels PAINFUL because you’ve outgrown it. That’s not regression. That’s EVOLUTION. And evolution is uncomfortable as fuck.
HOW “AURA TOUCHING AURA” ACTUALLY WORKS (Real Biology, Not Hippie Speculation)
When you pass close to someone, literally: Your electromagnetic field enters contact with theirs. This is biology, not esotericism. Not woo-woo. Actual measurable science. Your heart generates an electromagnetic field that extends 3-6 feet from your body. So does everyone else’s. When two people’s fields overlap, there’s an EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION. What happens then?
If the person is:
· Depressed ... you feel heaviness (their field is contracted, dark, heavy-like walking through mud)
· Hysterical ... you feel nervousness (their field is chaotic, scattered, like standing too close to a swarm of bees)
· Narcissistic ... you feel cold vacuum (their field is EMPTY in the center, pulling energy inward, black hole vibes)
· Dissociated ... you feel absence, emptiness (nobody’s home, you’re sensing an abandoned building)
· Aggressive ... you feel attack, jolt (their field has TEETH, it’s spiky, defensive)
· Rotting inside ... you feel “dirtiness” (stagnation, decay, like emotional food that’s gone bad)
This is literally their neurochemistry in your field for a few seconds. Their stress hormones, their suppressed emotions, their nervous system state… all of it radiates outward as information, and you’re picking up the broadcast. And you register it before your brain says: “WTF is this?” This isn’t your weakness. This is ultra-fine, accurate perception of your nervous system.
You’re not broken-you’re calibrated. Everyone else is walking around with broken instruments wondering why you keep “overreacting” to things they can’t detect. They can’t hear the alarm. You can. And they’re mad at YOU for pointing out that the building’s on fire.
HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF WHILE WALKING (Practical Tools, Not Prayer Hands)
This is what you actually need. Not affirmations. Not visualization. Not asking angels for protection. Concrete nervous system protocols for moving through the world without absorbing everyone’s shit. Three steps that actually work:
✦ ① “PRE-CLOSED” FIELD BEFORE GOING OUT (Lock Your Doors Before Leaving The House)
Before you go out among people, do a quick:
Inhale down the spine (feel breath moving down your back)
Exhale down the legs to feet (like you’re pouring water down through your body into the ground)
Sentence: “I stay in myself. Everything else just passes.”
This activates grounding + parasympathetic. Meaning: your field is compact and doesn’t absorb. It’s like putting on a raincoat before going out in a storm. You’re not stopping the rain-you’re just not letting it soak into your skin and ruin your day and all your clothes and your shoes and your mood and your will to live.
You’re weatherproofing yourself. This takes 30 seconds and can save you HOURS of recovery time.
✦ ② “SLIPPERY SURFACE” TECHNIQUE FOR CROWDS (Teflon Skin Protocol)
While walking in a space full of people: Imagine your skin is slightly slippery, like oil on water. Not a shield (shields are rigid, they crack under pressure). Not a wall (walls separate, we’re not trying to be isolated). Just: “Nothing sticks.” Everything that touches you slides right off.
This works because it gives your brain a somatic reference for cohesion. Your brain needs something PHYSICAL to hold onto. “Don’t absorb” is too abstract. “Slippery skin” is something your nervous system can FEEL.
The field stays with the body, doesn’t open up and merge with everyone else’s field like some kind of emotional orgy you didn’t consent to. You’re Teflon-coating your aura. Nothing adheres. You’re the non-stick pan of human consciousness. Things pass through your awareness without leaving residue.
✦ ③ 5-STEP PROTOCOL WHEN YOU PASS THROUGH SOMEONE’S AURA (The “I Just Walked Through a Spiderweb of Trauma” Reset)
When someone’s field “hits” you, when you suddenly feel gross or heavy or wrong, do this immediately:
1. Briefly stop (literally half a second, just pause)
2. One exhale through mouth “fff-haaah” (sharp exhale out)
3. Shoulders “up-down” once (scrunch them up to your ears, drop them hard)
4. Sentence: “That’s not mine.” (out loud or internally)
5. Step forward-reset (physically move, break the energetic connection)
This is literally how you shake off energetic contamination. Like when you walk through a spiderweb and you do that full-body flailing dance to get it off you? This is the energetic version of that. Less flailing, more effective.
It works because:
· Exhale activates parasympathetic (tells body “threat over”)
· Shoulder movement breaks freeze response (interrupts the “stuck” feeling)
· Verbal acknowledgment creates cognitive separation (you just told your brain “this isn’t ours”)
· Physical step forward returns body to its own rhythm (movement restarts your own flow)
Think of it like shaking water off after you get splashed. You don’t stand there analyzing the water’s composition, its emotional history, where it came from, what it means about you. You just... shake it off and keep walking.
HOW TO CLOSE YOUR FIELD ON DEMAND (The “Please Fuck Off” Protocol For Your Nervous System)
“Closing your field” sounds mystical and witchy and like something that requires crystals and moon phases. It’s not. It’s actually just: Switching your nervous system from “scan & merge” mode to “self-contained” mode. It’s like changing your phone from “discoverable” to “hidden.” Same device, same capabilities, just... nobody can randomly connect anymore without your explicit permission.
QUICK RESET: 30 Seconds, Anywhere, Even in a Bathroom Stall at Your Least Favorite Family Gathering
Feet firmly on floor (if you’re sitting, press them down; if you’re standing, feel the full contact)
Gently squeeze leg and pelvis muscles (not like you’re trying to crush walnuts, just enough to feel them activate)
Inhale through nose, 4 seconds (count if you need to, don’t if you don’t)
Exhale through mouth, 6 seconds, with “fff” (like you’re fogging up a window very slowly)
At the end of the exhale-imagine your skin densifying (like it’s becoming slightly thicker, slightly more... there)
You’ll feel: · Like you’re returning “into your bones” (like you’ve been floating slightly outside yourself and now you’re BACK) · Like space pulled back slightly (like the room just gave you an extra few inches of breathing room) · Like other people aren’t in your breath anymore (they’re still there, they’re just not... IN you)
That’s field closure. Not a light bubble, but consciousness returning to tissue.
Think of it like this: Right now you’re existing three feet outside your body. Your awareness is hovering somewhere in the vicinity of your physical form like a friendly ghost that’s not quite sure how haunting works. We’re pulling you back into your actual meat suit. Wild concept, I know, being inside your own body. Revolutionary. Groundbreaking. Should probably be taught in schools but instead we learn the periodic table which, let’s be honest, you’ve never used.
And now you’ve got three actual protocols keeping you functional, which is more than most people walking around pretending their nervous system isn’t screaming. You can exhale your way out of absorption, close your field in a bathroom stall, and shake off someone’s trauma like water off a duck. That’s legitimately impressive. That’s survival handled.
But surviving isn’t the same as thriving.
SO NOW YOU KNOW WHY YOU’RE EXHAUSTED.
You’ve got the science. You’ve got the validation. You’ve got three protocols to survive your next trip to Target without absorbing the produce manager’s existential crisis. But here’s the thing… What you just read? That’s survival mode. What comes next? That’s sovereignty.

Why Some People Eat Your Field: The three types (Empty, Leaky, Unconscious Predator) and the hard reset: “I occupy my volume.” They’re not taking, you’re unconsciously GIVING. Here’s how to stop.
This isn’t about protection. This is about coherence.
And coherence, love, is fucking freedom. 🔥



Hi Dea
Funny, hilarious! I am with you on the junk they teach us in school that we'll never use(hello co-ordinated systems in relation to tagents).
A medium told me in the mid 90' that I was like a house with open doors, 'way to open' she said. But she did not have any knowledge about how to amend that. I've asked therapists, shamans even priests what to do with picking up so much of other peoples energy. They did not have any answers for me. Now I have one. Really grateful for this. I can't wait to read part 2 tomorrow!
What a wonderful combination of practical advice and a hilariously funny read - much needed and appreciated!
