How to Metabolize Energy for Strong Energetic Boundaries

By Amanda Rieger Green, MPH
Host of Soul Sessions with Amanda Rieger Green

Have you ever felt drained after being around certain people or in crowded spaces?

Maybe you walked away feeling foggy, heavy, or like you were carrying emotions that weren’t yours. That’s energy absorption — a very real, very human experience that can leave even the most grounded among us feeling disoriented and disconnected.

In this week’s episode of Soul Sessions, I explore one of the most transformative practices I’ve learned for protecting and purifying your energetic field — metabolizing energy.

We talk a lot about clearing, shielding, or releasing energy, but what if your system could do something more elegant? What if your aura, body, and consciousness could metabolize energy — digest it, transmute it, and return it to light — instead of endlessly processing what’s not yours?

This is energetic evolution. It’s how we strengthen our boundaries without closing our hearts.

Digesting vs. Metabolizing: The Energetic Difference

When we “digest” energy, we often replay it over and over, thinking we’re integrating it. But what we’re really doing is keeping it alive in our field — like chewing on the same emotional cud.

Metabolizing energy is different.

It’s not about over-analyzing or absorbing. It’s about transformation.

Think of your energetic system like a divine alchemist. Instead of holding density, you transmute it — turning it into wisdom, clarity, or neutrality.

When you metabolize energy:

Your aura becomes clearer and more resilient.
Your body processes emotion faster and cleaner.
You move from depletion to sovereignty.

This is what it means to become energetically fit — not just empathic, but empowered.

Your Aura Is a Living Ecosystem

Your aura isn’t static light around you; it’s a living, breathing ecosystem. It responds to thought, emotion, sound, food, and environment. When you’re overstimulated, your aura becomes porous. When you’re centered, it stabilizes.

As a psychic medium and intuitive, I’ve learned that your energy field metabolizes experience much like your body metabolizes food. What you consume — energetically or emotionally — either nourishes or burdens your system.

So, what do we do when we’ve absorbed too much?

We train our energetic metabolism.

A Five-Step Practice to Metabolize Energy

You don’t need elaborate rituals or external tools (though crystals, smoke medicine, and sound can enhance it). You just need awareness, breath, and intention.

1. Name the Energy

Identify what you’re feeling. “I’m holding anxiety that isn’t mine.” “I feel overstimulated after that meeting.”

Naming brings awareness to the field.

2. Ask Your Soul to Metabolize It

Close your eyes. Breathe deeply. Then say:

“I ask my soul to metabolize this energy into its highest expression of light, clarity, and peace.”

This command invites your higher intelligence to do the work — no force, no fixing.

3. Visualize the Alchemy

Imagine the dense energy dissolving — not pushed away, but refined. Like smoke transforming into light or lead turning into gold.

4. Ground and Release

Feel the excess drain through your feet or into the earth. The earth knows how to recycle energy — it’s her superpower.

5. Reclaim Your Frequency

Now, sense your aura expanding — clear, luminous, sovereign.

You’re not blocking life out; you’re radiating from your true center.

Repeat this anytime you feel clouded or energetically full. Over time, your field learns to metabolize faster, naturally.

Boundaries Without Walls

Healthy energetic boundaries aren’t about withdrawal or protection through fear. They’re about energetic discernment — knowing what’s yours and what’s not.

When you metabolize instead of absorb, you stop living in energetic reaction and start living in resonance.

You can be compassionate without carrying others’ pain.
You can be present without losing your center.
You can love deeply without leaking energy.

This is what it means to embody spiritual maturity — the ability to hold your frequency in the face of the world’s noise.

From Empathic to Empowered

Empaths often believe their sensitivity is a weakness. But when you learn to metabolize energy, sensitivity becomes your superpower.

It’s like being a skilled musician who knows how to stay in tune no matter the room. You still feel everything — but you don’t become everything.

Through this practice, I’ve witnessed people reclaim their vitality, clarity, and joy. Their intuition sharpens. Their creativity returns. They feel lighter because they’re finally operating from their own energy, not everyone else’s.

The Gift of Energetic Clarity

Once you start metabolizing energy, you’ll notice:

You recover from emotional stress faster.
You no longer fear “bad vibes.”
You move through life with radiant confidence.

Your aura becomes a self-regulating ecosystem. Your consciousness becomes your compass. And your sensitivity — once overwhelming — becomes the very thing that connects you to higher frequencies of truth.

This is energetic sovereignty.

Practice, Presence, and Patience

Like physical fitness, energetic fitness requires consistency.

Try metabolizing before sleep or after intense interactions.

Notice the subtle shifts — the clarity, the ease, the lightness.

Your energy is currency.

When you manage it wisely, everything — from intuition to manifestation — becomes more precise.
