Have you seen this hiding under the rug?
Emotional Projection
Even in daily conversation, sometimes Ed’s frustrations would coat what he was saying with an undertone of anger.
As an empath, this energy would hit me right in the solar plexus as pain affecting my digestion. It took me a while to learn that this energy was not mine and to find ways to release it. I also learned to ask him if he was angry at me, that his tone of voice sounded angry. He had no idea that his voice sounded angry to me. That was not his intention.
These were powerful lessons in emotional projection for me. Emotional projection occurs when someone unconsciously attributes their own feelings, thoughts, or traits to another person. This often happens when individuals are unable or unwilling to accept certain aspects of themselves, and instead, they "project" these traits onto others.
Here are a few examples:
1. Anger Projection
Someone who is angry but not fully aware of it might say to a friend, "Why are you so mad at me?" when in fact, it’s the speaker who is harboring unrecognized anger.
2. Jealousy Projection
A person who is secretly envious of a colleague’s promotion might say, "You only got that promotion because you’re sucking up to the boss," projecting their own feelings of inadequacy.
3. Insecurity Projection
A person who is insecure about their looks might say to a partner, "I know you’re attracted to other people," when in fact, it’s their own insecurity driving this assumption.
4. Guilt Projection
If someone is cheating in a relationship, they might constantly accuse their partner of being unfaithful, projecting their own guilt.
5. Fear Projection
A parent who is afraid that their child will fail in school might say, "You’re so afraid of failing," when it’s actually the parent’s own fear being projected.
6. Shame Projection
Someone who feels shame about their financial situation might mock others for how they spend their money, projecting their own insecurities.
In each case, the person is not consciously aware of their own emotions and transfers them onto someone else, often leading to misunderstandings and strained relationships.
Is any of this sounding familiar? Do you recognize yourself here? This is the beginning awareness and of creating powerful choices for yourself.
There are still occasions where Ed projects his feelings on to me. Those are his feelings, not mine. And his journey. My job is to acknowledge and process my own feelings being deeply mindful of not projecting them out to someone else.
Have you also noticed that there is a great deal of emotional projection going on in our outside world? In our media? In our community?
What tools do you have to avoid being affected by this inundation?
I have seen in many clients over the years how emotional projection weakens their biofield (aura), creating weak spots where other more nefarious energies can enter and cause serious problems.
What do you do to keep your energy (biofield) strong?
As our human family processes the darkness that has been hiding under the rug for thousands of years, there is an even greater need for strong energetic boundaries and the generation of clear inner light to help support this process.
That is why I have been called to create Mastering Energetic Boundaries. A new course to support light workers and those who are highly sensitive. You are the ones who have the ability to bring great light to this struggling world.
Your energy is your greatest asset. How are you supporting it? How are you protecting it with boundaries? And how vigilant are you with that support and protection?
Mastering Energetic Boundaries is an essential program for highly sensitive people who work with others, to navigate the energetic soup we live in with confidence and strength. In this program you will get access to 7 live weekly group classes on the topics:
Fundamentals of Energy; Psychic Hygiene; Transmuting Negative Energy; Thought Forms; Projections and Psychic Attacks; Energy Vampires and Magical You Maintenance.
- 7 live weekly group classes to practice each of the steps in creating strong energetic boundaries. Each class will be recorded and available in your ‘My Library’ menu item on the Sound Wellness Institute website.
- 6 months of monthly live classes following the 7 weeks of classes for follow-up, further practice, celebrating successes and understanding challenges. Continued practice in community is where you gain mastery.
- Access to the Mastering Energetic Boundaries exclusive community for creating connections, getting questions answered in between classes.
