Polly and The OTHER SIDE

As empaths, navigating our energy sensitivity can be incredibly challenging, especially when we take on other people's energy and feel it as if it were our own. For me, it's been a lifelong journey to first understand what was happening and then to learn how to transmute and transform that energy. It's been a process of progress, not perfection, and believe me, I still get triggered, but now I know what is happening and how to manage it.

I wanted to share this story I wrote for Tiny Buddha about the the tools that have helped me along the way.

I hope that you may find it useful and inspiring.

Miraculous Empath Breakthrough: My Mother’s Cancer Gift - Tiny Buddha My relationship with my mother, once strained and filled with misunderstanding, has transformed into a beautiful, supportive bond.

Namaste everyone! I wanted to share something that has been a significant part of my journey as an empath.

One of my most painful patterns was absorbing energy that was not mine. Before I realized and understood my internal neutral, I just thought there was something very wrong with me.

Absorbing energy that wasn’t mine would manifest as an instant headache or sore throat out of nowhere after talking with someone.

Sometimes it felt like a jolt of toxic poison flowing through my veins, which would trigger a strong urge to leave the triggering person as quickly as possible.

I felt extremely uncomfortable with conflict and didn’t have enough of an emotional vocabulary to clearly express what was happening inside my body.

What has helped me the most is developing a deep internal relationship with how I am feeling and checking in frequently throughout the day with myself.

When I am triggered or feel some energy hit me suddenly, I stop what I am doing and use conscious connected breathing to release the energy from my body. I also clear myself daily by using intention and clearing rituals with a Tibetan Bowl, sage, and Palo Santo.

Being in the water is also super helpful for clearing energy and hitting the reset button.

I have a solid morning routine that I do every day that includes: meditation, yoga, breathwork, journaling, gratitude practice, setting intentions, and time in nature.

I am sharing this in the hopes that it may help someone here.

Understanding ourselves as empaths is the key to growing and turning our sensitivity into our strength.

P.S. I am looking to interview awakening female empaths who are struggling with their sensitivity to energy. Anyone available?

Namaste.🙏🏾

I wanted to share something that has been a significant part of my journey as an empath.

For a long time, I struggled with taking on other people’s energy, mistaking it for my own, and feeling uncomfortable in my own skin.

I didn’t realize at the time that this was what was happening—I just thought there was something “wrong” with me.

I wondered how others navigated life without feeling awkward and uncomfortable in their own skin.

It wasn’t until I started learning more about my sensitivity and what it means to be an empath that I began to understand and appreciate my unique gifts.

I realized that my sensitivity wasn’t a curse but a profound ability that needed nurturing.

After over a decade of spiritual study in yoga, meditation, and Breathwork in Bali and India, I’ve come to embrace my empathic nature fully.

I now see that there is something very right with me and that my sensitivity is a true gift.

I learned how to discern what energy was mine and what was not.

I learned how to clear my energy and how to fully be in my body.

I developed a spiritual routine that I do every day that keeps me feeling clear and my vibration high.

My healing truly began when I recognized these patterns and embraced my sensitivity.

I’m sharing this in case it resonates with someone here, and I hope this reflection might be of help.

If you are an awakening female empath who is struggling with your sensitivity to energy and the spirit world I would love to ask you a few questions over a quick zoom call for some important research I am doing.

As someone who has navigated the complexities of the spirit world, I understand firsthand the challenges and uncertainties that can arise on this journey. I, too, experienced moments of doubt, fear, and confusion as I grappled with my spiritual sensitivity and encountered various energies and entities beyond the physical realm.

However, through dedicated study, practice, and personal growth, I was able to overcome these challenges and develop a sense of confidence and empowerment in navigating the energy and spirit world.

I delved into extensive research, sought guidance from experienced mentors, and immersed myself in spiritual practices to deepen my connection with the divine and refine my intuitive abilities.

Through over a decade of intense spiritual study and training in India and Bali, I experienced a profound transformation.

I have learned, practice, and teach valuable techniques including: clearing energy, balancing chakras, energy clearing of physical space and auras, grounding, psychic protection, energetic discernment, dissolving energy chords, clearing ancestral trauma, and sending earthbound spirits to the light, to name a few.

All of which allow me to navigate the spirit world with greater ease and assurance.

By integrating these experiences and insights into my daily life, I transformed my sensitivities into strengths and found a profound sense of purpose and fulfillment in serving others on their spiritual paths.

Drawing from my own journey of growth and transformation, I am passionate about helping others overcome similar challenges and discover their innate gifts and abilities.

My goal is to provide guidance, support, and practical tools to empower female empaths to navigate the energy and spirit world with confidence, clarity, and authenticity.

Surrender isn’t always easy.

Facing our selves and getting out of our comfort zone is well uncomfortable.

Maintenance of internal awareness takes focus and discipline.

Having the willingness to let go of all that no longer serves us so that we can feel internally free regardless of external conditions has been my carrot on the end of the stick.

It is why I’m on this pilgrimage through India and I’m ready to stop.

Because I know the only way out is in.

Sending blessings to you from the powerful Ganges River.

May you and all beings be happy peaceful and liberated.

PS if you are ready to release all that is not serving you so you can feel radical self acceptance sober.
Feel free to message me.
I would love to see if I can help support you further.

Namaste 🙏🏾🔱🕉

Type MASTER CLASS in the comments and I will DM you with the link!

Eleven years ago I got the call to come to India.

It was time to take a deeper look inward and learn new tools (without adrenaline and alcohol) to feel happy and peaceful within myself regardless of external conditions.

That first India trip was difficult, because without adrenaline and alcohol in my system I had no choice but to face myself and what I was experiencing in my mind felt toxic and extremely judgmental.

I had a lot of inner work to do and after 3 months in Mysore (south India) I knew I had to go North to Rishikesh, and the sacred river Ganges (Ma Ganga)

The minute I saw the Ganga I knew I was home, and that she would purify the toxic thoughts and heavy energy I was experiencing.

I committed to my Ashtanga yoga practice and decided this was my new path and I was going to stay on it until I felt the inner peace and mental freedom I was so desperately seeking.

Daily dips in the river left me feeling wrung out and reborn the experience is something so difficult to explain because it is otherworldly.

Ma Ganga became my healer teacher and refuge.

Yesterday I got the amazing opportunity to go kayaking on her magical waters.

It felt like a true gift an amazing reward and I have never been happier.

Commitment on the spiritual path to me has meant that my daily practices take priority over everything else and my sobriety has been the underlying foundation that allows it all to be possible.

The path has not been easy but to feel clear light happy and free is absolutely priceless.

Ps if you are ready to start on the sober spiritual path and want support please dm me. I would love to have a chat with you to see if I can help support you.

Sending everyone massive blessings from the Mother Ganges. 🙏🏾🕉💖

Getting out of our own way.

Can look like:
Allowing our selves to release all thoughts, stories and behaviors that no longer serve us, clears our side of the street.
So that we can make internal space to be vehicles for the power of the Ganges, and Shiva to flow through us.
Like we are a giant guitar and the music gets played through us.

Offering tremendous gratitude to the yogis and rishis that live(d) and practiced with pure dedication in these caves.
Their energy and example is such a huge blessing.

Ps. If you are struggling with getting in your own way and are ready to step into clearing all that no longer serves you so you can feel radical self acceptance sober- let’s chat.

Have a great day 💙

Polly

Having a solid daily morning practice helps us to fill our spiritual cups and builds our inner relationship to ourselves.

Knowing ourselves is the key to freedom.

However Often times we have the opposite voice going on in our heads.

The voice that wants to keep us at a standstill.

This is the voice that tells us having a drink would be a much better idea than doing yoga, spending time in nature, or supporting your spiritual self.

If you are tired of listening to the voice of resistance and ready to be free so you can feel radical self acceptance sober let’s chat. I would love to help support you further.

Have a great day!
Namaste 🙏🏾
Polly

Thanks for being a big part of my morning practice routine 🙏🏾🔱🕉

What is the hungry ghost?

it is the feeling inside that feels like a hole that will never be filled, no matter how much we drink to try to fill it.

ARE YOU READY
FOR THE SECRET?

LET'S DIVE IN
TOGETHER...

The only way to fill the hole is with unconditional love, kindness, and compassion for ourselves.

the problem is that generating these feelings ourselves is not always easy.

BUT THERE IS
A
SOLUTION

THE ENERGY OF UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, KINDNESS, AND COMPASSION IS
INFINITELY AVAILABLE

we just need to become willing to ask and open to receive infinite source energy.

when we drink in this spiritual energy we feel satiated.

From the inside out.

We are now overflowing with freedom and no longer chained to the hungry ghost.

If you are a driven midlife woman and a high functioning gray area drinker who is ready to be free of the hungry ghost so you can feel full of unconditional self love in sobriety, it would mean the world to me if we could hop on a quick call.

I am working on a new project and would love to ask you a few questions (purely for my own research).

“Fear is the anticipation of future pain.” - Tara Brach

Are you feeling overwhelmed with fear? Perhaps running from it or trying to avoid it?
Most likely to no avail.

Contrary to our instinctual resistance to fear the Buddha teaches us to welcome it with compassion and invite it in for tea.

As soon as we face our fear, which is usually based in illusion, it loses its power and disappears.

We are then free to move forward feeling empowered and confident.

Asking yourself what if the opposite of your fear is actually true and possible opens the door for an entirely different perspective. One of freedom, expansion, and light.

If you feel ready to move forward and face your fear so you can feel confident in speaking your truth and comfortable in your own skin I would love to speak with you.

Click the link in my bio or DM me.

Have a great day, and I look forward to chatting soon!

Namaste,
Polly

Why do we feel uncomfortable in our own skin?
For me, it was a two fold problem.

I felt uncomfortable so I chose to numb myself rather than feel what I was feeling.

The numbing made things worse because I did and said things I regretted when I was drinking, and so I felt even more uncomfortable.

Here is the good news:

When we stop numbing ourselves we are still left with feeling the original discomfort, but at least we are not piling on new shame, guilt and regret.

When we start to unpack the original discomfort the first piece I like to tackle is energetic.

We clear all energy that we may have taken on that is not ours, and

we release all energy cords to people.

When we clear out all energy that is not ours from our bodies and energy fields- it becomes a lot more comfortable to live in our own skin.

We have begun the process of making our bodies a comfortable home.

Soul fragments of ours that may have splintered off now feel safe in returning.

When all of our energy inhabits our bodies, we feel full.

We no longer seek externally for validation, and we know who we are.

We are whole.

If this resonates with you....

I would love to hop on a Free Zoom call together and ask you a few more questions.

If you want to clear the energy that is not serving you so that you can feel comfortable in your skin and like who you see looking back at you in the mirror ------let's speak soon!

I have some slots open this week in my calendar and would love to help support you.

Send me a DM or comment below with YES PLEASE and I will send you a link to book a call.

I look forward to chatting with you soon!

Speaking our truth can feel like a fear producing event, especially if we were raised to be “seen and not heard.” 

We may swallow our truth and push it down because we want to please others or don’t want to create conflict.

The consequence of this strategy is that we build up a pile of resentment inside.

The resentment eats away at us like poison. 

By trying to please others we have betrayed ourselves, and so we numb ourselves to not feel the pain of self betrayal.

But what if…. We learned how to trust ourselves and our truths?

What if speaking our truth is the most loving action we could take?

What if by speaking our truths we open our hearts in compassion to the person we are speaking with?

What if it is not as scary as we thought?

If you are wanting to overcome self sabotage so that you feel comfortable in your own skin and speak your truth with confidence I would love to have a chat with you.

DM ME to book in for a time to speak. 

Chat soon! 

Polly

Have you struggled with low self worth?

Practicing self compassion by speaking kindly to ourselves and offering ourselves the same grace we would show a friend is the way that I have found to build a solid foundation of self acceptance.

When we blame ourselves for pain we think we may have caused we turn the fight flight freeze response inward and onto ourselves.

We fight ourselves, blame ourselves, and judge ourselves harshly.

If we beat ourselves up first we think that it won’t hurt as bad.

Unconditional self love means we prioritize practicing compassion with our inner little us.

Visualizing ourselves as a little child and offering the little us a cuddle and some kind words can shift us out of anxiety and into calmness.

Our inner little ones’ need our love, and it is our responsibility to give them our loving kindness and compassion.

Send me a Dm if you are wanting to move into self love and want more support.

I will send you a link to book in a time to speak with me.

I would love to ask you a few questions to find out where you are, where you want to go, and if I can help you to bridge that gap.

Chat soon! - Pollyand.theotherside
