We are traveling more and our lives have become more dynamic. We travel for our long awaited vacations to visit family for special vacations and for work. To add to this mix now we have remote workers, or digital nomads.
I also started to travel more for work and our family moved to different locations. In this new life style, I began to feel an inner fragmentation and intense energetic shifts. First you attribute it to Jet lag, to time differences, to missing the other part of the world, until I realized it had more to do with not being centered in my own energy and “leaving parts of me behind either on the place I normally live or in the new place I traveled to”. I needed a way to restore my soul alignment – not just mentally, but energetically and spiritually.
In past centuries, humans would travel by foot, horse, carriage, or boats. People would move at a slower pace, allowing their body to be adjusting to the new electromagnetic fields little by little to the new latitudes, as well as cities, climate, language, food etc. The change was more gradual. Now, especially if we take a fast car ride or an airplane, we move from one place to another at a high-speeds. Changing time zones, states, countries, languages, climate, food, and the swapping to very different Earth’s Lay Lines.
The energetic information and energetic electromagnetic fields, could be very different than the ones you’re used to. All of a sudden you find yourself in a complete different environment, time zone and begin to enjoy your trip or do some intense exploration/sight seeing, walking even exhausting yourself more than you possibly may be used to at home.
Some simple practical things you can do ahead of you traveling: if you’re traveling to a place where you will be needing to walk a lot, then begin to walk a lot more or incorporate walking at home more. Buy good shoes and get your body ready for that intense walk or that intense hike that you will be experiencing when you go to the new place. Will you be biking? Get your own bike out and gain the skills again.
Nowadays people travel to more far away exotic places where the energy is very strong or raw, being exposed to heavy natural forces or strong event events that have happened in the place you are visiting.
I have seen some clients, that after their long awaited vacation, they come home only to find themselves out of sorts and energetically imbalanced. Then what can we do, not travel not at all? There are a few ideas that can help you integrate new energies and simple energetic practices can improve your experience and also help you with an easier jet lag if you changed or travel to a different time zone.
- Protect yourself energetically.
- Be respectful of the place you’re visiting.
- Ask permission before you enter a secret site or a volcano or a big forest or enter a big body of water.
- Gather your energy before leaving and re-anchor your energy when you arrive to the land your visit. I’ve developed a technique called: Soul Re-anchoring.
- Drink the local water as soon as you can, to integrate new information.
Protect yourself energetically.
Learn how to protect your own energy field, integrate a daily energy protection ritual designed by you to protect you that aligns with your own Cosmo Vision.
Bring with you a power symbol or amulet that aligns with your Cosmo Vision, if you are Christian and a cross gives you strength that you will be protected, bring it. Bring a Talisman, a crystal, wear a special object that reminds you that you are sovereign of your own body and energy field. The most important thing for energy protection is the intention and resolution that you will be protected.
Be respectful of the place you’re visiting.
Learn at least a little bit about the place you’re going, not just the fun and incredible sightseeing places you’re going to see but also about its history or strong events that have happened in the place you are visiting. Some places like ancient sacred sites, for example Temples in Egypt, Machu Picchu, Berlin have stronger energies.
Places with volcanoes or sacred mountains also have extremely strong energy. Entering a sacred place long revered by other people. It may not have a particular meaning to the travel or tourist, but you need to be aware that you need to be respectful of the other culture or people that you’re visiting. When people are not respectful, you can come home with heavier or low astral energy attached to you.
Ask permission before you enter a secret site or a volcano or a big forest or enter a big body of water.
Are you going to an exotic faraway place with tons of lush raw energy from nature? Bring a gift to the Spirits of that part of the Earth, bring an offering. If you find yourself with nothing to offer, (it happens when you just stumble upon an incredible place you decide to visit it), from your heart offer your love and respect for the place and ask for permission: Usually that is enough. But wait for the answer, sometimes they may say no. If they do, (they rarely do), listen and come back another day.
How do you do this? Before you enter, find a place that looks to you to be a “Guardian of the Place” and stop for a few seconds. In your mind say your full name and that you are asking for permission to enter. Wait and if everything still feels “good” and at ease, check with your heart for a “yes” response, go ahead and come in. If you are leaving a gift here, find a special place (a tree, a rock) where to leave the fruit, seeds, nuts, flowers. Do not just toss it on the ground, you want to show respect, place it gently as you would when you bring a delicate gift to a friend. The spirit of the place will be happy and receive you well.
Drink the local water as soon as you can, to integrate new information.
This is a simple, but powerful thing to do. Water has memory and has the information of the new place you are visiting. A good thing to do is try to find spring bottled water from the place to drink, so your body begins to incorporate the energy information of the place. Finding this water sounds simple, it is not always so, because we find Fiji water or French bottled water in Mexico, or Islandic water in Hawaii, you want the local spring water from the place you are visiting, and hopefully not purified water.
Grounding Yourself to the New Place
The technique I developed, which I call “Soul Re-anchoring ” helps the individual reconnect with their original rhythm and feel more centered. It’s rooted in grounding—not just inwardly, but to the land, to the energy of the place, and incorporating the new forces of the place you are in. Consciously gather your energy as you leave the place you leave to re-anchor your energy in the new place when you arrive.
Soul Re-anchoring
While the full practice is part of my lineage-based work, here’s a small reflection you can try:
Consciously gather your energy as you leave the place you normally live in, to re-anchor your energy in the new place when you arrive.
When you arrive, stand barefoot on the land if possible. Close your eyes. Feel your breath, inhale and exhale gently, imagine roots growing from your feet into the Earth below you. Feel yourself welcomed by this new place.
When you go back, do the same in reverse. This act of reverence helps the body and soul move together.
Final Thoughts
Travel can open your heart, expand your spirit, and connect you with the wonder of the world. Just remember it is a sacred invitation to be able to experience other lands and cultures. But just as you pack your bags with care, try to be careful with your energy with the same intention.
Let your adventures fill you with beauty—not burdens. May you return home with stories, wisdom, and light—not lingering exhaustion or energy that’s not yours.
If this speaks to you and you’d like to explore Soul Re-Anchoring more deeply, I offer one-on-one sessions and upcoming trainings. Your energy belongs to you. Keep it whole, wherever you go.
