Have you ever walked away from a conversation feeling like you were carrying someone else’s mood?

That’s not your imagination — it’s resonance.

The electromagnetic field of the human heart extends several feet around us. This is the energy other people feel of us, whether we manage it or not.

When we don’t fill our own space, we can absorb what doesn’t belong to us. When we do, we create what I call a living edge — a clear energetic boundary that helps us stay grounded, compassionate, and sovereign.

This is what I teach in the “I ams” exercise, a simple daily practice that helps you manage your own energy.

I shared it in Experience Life Magazine in their article, “What Is Energy Clearing?" I’ve recorded a short video demo so you can try it with me, too.

Here’s how the practice goes:

• Focus on someone or something, such as a child or pet, that fills your heart with gratitude, appreciation, or uncomplicated loving feelings. This can help settle your heart rate and allow you to ground into your body.
• Say your own full name aloud while spreading your arms out as far as you can reach. “I am [first name] [middle name] [last name]. And I take up my space!”
• Visualize the edge of your energy field growing stronger and firmer.
• Repeat the “I am” script using your full name, ending with “And anything that is not mine needs to leave my space now.” This can be friendly, but make it firm.
• Visualize whatever isn’t yours — someone else’s mood, a critical remark, unwanted advice — leaving your sphere.
• Repeat the “I am” script one more time, finishing with “And I am sovereign in my own space.”

Take up your space. The world feels better when you do.
