When our choices feel bound up in what other people think or expect of us, it’s helpful to use energetic techniques to support realworld action as we disentangle our power from external influences.

Cast a magic circle: Stand facing north, and sense energy welling up from the earth into your body. Then let energy cascade down from the sky, entering your crown and filling your body. Allow these energies to combine, flowing into your dominant hand. With arm outstretched and index finger pointed, visualize drawing a line of energy in the air as you turn clockwise, and repeat for a total of three revolutions. Your circle is now cast.

Now envision a challenging situation, like you’re painting a picture with thought and emotion. When this feels complete, see an electrical outlet with a cord plugged into this mental picture. This is a cord to your energy field, and with intention, unplug it, detaching your power from the situation.

Release the circle: As if you’re opening a curtain, “grab” the energy and move counterclockwise. Be open to intuitive messages prompting realworld actions that will support this energetic unplugging.
