What’s Happening Energetically When You Feel Defensive or Resentful?

In an earlier post I discuss the energetic messages from our emotions. The two feeling states of defensive and resentful, however, are in a little different league than the basic feelings of anger, fear, depression, joy or love.

Here’s the important secret to know. When you feel defensive or resentful, it is your body’s message that someone has projected their energy on you. In the case of defensiveness, the person who is projecting is actually placing old energy patterns on you to work out whatever lesson, karmic or otherwise, they are trying to work out. A classic pattern is when a spouse turns the other spouse into his mother (or father) to work out unresolved issues that he might have with that parent. Energy pattern projections are often felt at the solar plexus. Often wanting to cross your arms or legs is an indicator that someone is projecting energy onto you.

Resentful is a slightly different energetic. When you have a conversation with someone that doesn’t go well, and then spend the next two or three hours obsessively having the conversation over and over in your head about what you should have said or how dare he say those things, you have a strong indicator of energy projection. This type of energy projection though, is mental or psychic energy that comes from the third eye. It’s purpose is to dominate and control the other person, usually trying to force them to a certain action or agreement. Like a splinter, the body tries to get rid of it (hence the obsessing). Unfortunately, our minds don’t often recognize that this is foreign energy in the body and it keeps trying to work with it as if it is its own. When the energy moves even deeper into the body and festers than feeling resentful will, overtime, turn into long time resentment.

So how can you deal energetically with people who insist on energy dumping or trying to control you? Try these steps:

Recognize the feelings of defensiveness and resentfulness as signals for energetic shenanigans that are not being created by you.
If you are feeling defensive, silently address the Energy Body of the person who is causing those feelings (imagine an energetic body that looks just like the physical body) and tell it to stop projecting on you.
If you are feeling resentful, sometimes vigorous physical activity will help move it. There is an element of anger that will come up with resentful feelings. This firewall is an indicator of an energy breach. Just notice it and let it move.
If you find yourself, continuing to obsess about the conversation that you had with someone days later, you might need some help to get the energy off and out. An energy healing session can help immensely at this point.
