THE EFFECT OF SOCIAL MEDIA ON ENERGY
Social media creates the illusion of connection, when the reality is we have never been more separated. It creates division, competition, perpetuates hatred, jealousy and feelings of inadequacy all stemming from an illusion. A perceived reality that fulfills a false narrative and isn't based on truth. Social media platforms provide a curated version of people's lives, often showcasing only the highlights and positive aspects. And sometimes they aren't even real. This can lead to a false sense of connection, as individuals compare themselves to these idealised versions and feel inadequate. In reality, true connection requires genuine interaction and understanding, which is often lacking in the virtual world of social media. It can also lead to unhealthy comparisons and a distorted perception of reality, further exacerbating mental health issues. Additionally, social media addiction can negatively impact sleep patterns, productivity, and overall well-being.
But we know all about this. Right? We know this and many of us continue to use it anyway.
I have a different perspective, a spiritual perspective.
As a spiritual healer I feel energy, all energy and receive information. All energy is sent out with intention. Some intentions are harmful, in fact many intentions are detrimental. Envy itself is a spiritual attack with damaging consequences. Words have an energetic intention. Harmful comments carry energy that directly impacts us whether we recognise it or not. But did you know that someone can send you toxic energy with malicious intent without posting a comment or message? Your page is the portal, your post is the open gate and energy comes through it.
My client was dealing with a judgement attack. It was someone judging her to compare themselves to her. Insecurity on their part. For them to decide that they were doing better than her in life made them feel better about themselves. How sad. It is easier to let go of fear of judgement from others when you recognise they do it only to make themselves feel good about themselves.
This is why I struggle so much with social media. I've never liked it, because I can feel the energy within. People are losing their own identities because of the construct of the follower aspect on social media. The damage occurs subconsciously, false beliefs are created, embedded in our subconscious and we live from this sense of self. We are losing our true sense of self via this over stimulation of this distorted perception of reality.
Social media creates portals where negative, toxic and harmful energies can be directed our way. These attack energies are real and have physical and true consequences in our lives. It only takes one person to feel envious.
So what do we do about it?
Firstly, I would recommend some honest self reflection and awareness. Grab your journal and a coffee, or your choice of beverage and self-reflect on these prompts.
Why do you use social media?
What do you get out of it?
How does it really make you feel? How does it really make you think about yourself? (Notice how your body reacts while scrolling through social media. Bring your awareness to your body and recognise tension, stress, nausea, headaches. Feelings of sadness, or thoughts of not being enough.)
What else could you do with your time instead of scrolling?
Are you living your true life, or are you subconsciously living someone else's?
I hope I have given you something to think about social media, how we use it and how it affects us. We don't always think of energy having a physical impact and I feel it is time we did. Intentions have energy and this energy affects us, our lives and how we live it. It isn't until you are truly aware of energy that you appreciate and protect your own.
