Know Your Own Energy
*Part two of my Energetic Sovereignty series
A gentle, embodied guide to recognizing your baseline and coming home to yourself
Most people move through the world feeling “off” without quite knowing why.
They sense the shift… but can’t name it.
They feel scattered… but don’t know what changed.
They tighten, shrink, or feel flooded… and it seems sudden or unexplainable.
Not because anything is wrong with them —
but because their attention has been trained outward rather than inward.
And here’s the honest, liberating truth:
You can’t stay in your own field if you don’t recognize what it feels like to be there.
Knowing your energy is like knowing your own heartbeat.
It has always been with you — steady, loyal, quietly guiding you.
But when life gets loud, it fades into the background.
The work of energetic sovereignty begins by learning to recognize your home frequency.
Not an ideal version of you.
Not a healed or perfectly regulated version.
Not the version you think you should be.
Just you, as you are.
Your Energy Has a Felt Sense
Your energy has a texture.
A temperature.
A rhythm.
A density.
A way it lives inside your body and extends around you.
When you’re connected to yourself, you might feel settled, warm, clear, open — or simply present.
When you’re disconnected, you might feel floaty, tight, buzzy, collapsed, or like you’re “behind your eyes” instead of in your body.
These states aren’t emotional flaws.
They’re signals.
Somatic cues.
Real-time information.
And when you learn to listen to them, everything begins to organize from the inside out.
From Concept to Lived Experience
As your awareness grows, you begin to feel the difference between:
• your emotions and someone else’s
• your intuition and your fear
• your truth and old conditioning
• your body’s needs and survival patterns
This is where “mine / not mine” stops being an idea and becomes something you can actually feel.
You don’t have to analyze.
You don’t have to decode the room.
You don’t have to become psychic.
You simply return to yourself and notice:
What does it feel like to be me in my body right now?
Not conceptually.
Not spiritually.
Not philosophically.
In the body.
In this moment.
What If What I’m Feeling Isn’t Actually Me?
This is a natural and wise question.
Sometimes, when you tune in, what you notice does include the energy of people or environments around you. That doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.
In fact, it’s one of the reasons this practice works best when it’s done regularly.
You’re not trying to sort everything out in one moment.
You’re building familiarity over time.
As you check in again and again, you begin to notice patterns:
• how your body feels when you’re alone
• how your energy shifts around certain people
• how different environments affect you
Gradually, your system starts to recognize:
This feels like me.
This feels like something I picked up.
Not through effort —
through relationship.
The more often you come home to yourself, the easier it becomes to recognize when something doesn’t belong — because it feels unfamiliar to your baseline.
Why Overwhelm Happens
Many sensitives learned early to merge instead of observe.
To monitor others instead of attune inward.
To anticipate rather than anchor.
This creates energetic overextension — your awareness moves outward faster than your body can stay home.
And that’s usually when overwhelm appears.
Not because the room is too much —
but because, for a moment, you stepped out of your center to track it.
The solution isn’t withdrawal or protection.
It’s return.
Again and again.
Sovereignty Begins With Sensation
So we return through the simplest doorway available:
Sensation.
What does it feel like to be me in my body right now?
Sometimes “me” feels grounded.
Sometimes restless.
Sometimes tired, hopeful, numb, or tender.
Sovereignty doesn’t ask you to feel calm, clear, or regulated.
It asks you to be honest.
Honesty brings you back.
Presence brings you back.
Curiosity brings you back.
The more familiar your baseline becomes, the easier it is to notice when you’ve drifted — and gently return.
That return — soft, curious, non-judgmental — is the heart of energetic sovereignty.
You don’t stay centered by force.
You stay centered by familiarity.
You can only be lost from a home you already know.
A Simple Somatic Practice: Meeting Your Baseline
Take a slow breath — no need to change it.
Allow one hand to rest somewhere on your body, wherever it naturally wants to land.
Notice:
• the weight of your body
• the contact points beneath you
• the temperature inside your chest or belly
• the pace and quality of your breath
Now gently ask yourself:
What does it feel like to be me in my body right now?
Stay with whatever you notice for one or two breaths.
No fixing.
No judging.
No naming it as good or bad.
Just allowing yourself to be here.
This sensation — however subtle — is a doorway back to you.
Journal Reflection
After your check-in, take a moment to reflect:
• What sensations felt most noticeable today?
• Did anything feel familiar or unfamiliar?
• How did my body feel when I was alone versus around others?
• What does “home” in my body feel like right now?
You don’t need perfect answers.
You’re building a relationship.
Closing
Knowing your energy isn’t about control.
It’s about connection.
Once you recognize what home feels like, you can always return.
And the more you return, the less you abandon yourself.
This is energetic sovereignty in its simplest form:
Coming home to yourself —
breath by breath,
moment by moment —
until being you becomes the safest place you know.
