"Zip Up" Technique for Empaths

If you are an empath, as I am, it is important to guard your aura from unwanted intrusion from others emotions. Although everyone is susceptible to “picking up” the emotions of others, empaths are particularly susceptible to it and can become drained and sickly because of it.


To make matters worse, many empaths cannot protect themselves from soaking up the emotions of others because it happens subconsciously and they think that the emotions are their own.

Although a little sensitivity is good--and being an empath is a great gift--picking up everyone’s emotions, without any control, is not good. You need a way to close of your aura to all but the person or persons that you want to help with your empathic gift.

Donna Eden’s “Zip Up” technique is one such method that you can do anywhere and anytime to protect your aura from the energy fields of others. It is a method that has worked for me. Watch this video of Donna Eden demonstrating her “Zip Up” technique, try it, and let me know what you think!
