All our belongings carry certain energy. When we borrow stuff from others, the energy these things carry can affect ours, and it is not always in a positive way.
If you want to protect your energy, be careful when borrowing the following items, or try not to whenever possible.
1. Hairbrushes and Combs
Sharing hair tools may not seem like a big deal, but they can pass on more than just hair. They can also carry on germs, scalp oils, or even energetic residue.
Hair holds energy, and it’s often connected to health and feelings. Using someone else’s brush means that their energy is physically running through your crown. It’s always best to have your own around.
Cleaning or replacing your hair tools every now and then can also give you a boost of energy and confidence. These little things help keep your body and spirit clean, so your aura and energy stay completely yours.
2. Pillows or Bedding
Your body and mind rest as you sleep, and bedding takes up the feelings, worries, and energies of the people who use it. When you borrow someone’s pillow, it can feel like taking over their dreams or their tiredness.
The energetic imprint stays even after it has been cleaned. Sleep is important since it’s when your energy resets. Using someone else’s bedding, especially for a long time, can make it challenging for you to sleep and relax.
Always wash and clean it first if you have to. It’s not selfish to protect your sleep area; it’s necessary to keep your energies safe and centered.
3. Jewelry
Jewelry holds memories. When someone wears a ring, necklace, or bracelet, for instance, their feelings and memories get connected to it in a spiritual way.
When you borrow jewelry, you might not even know it, but you could be bringing that energy into your own life. You could feel different moods, luck, or emotions without knowing why. Gold and silver are two precious metals that carry energy.
They hold what they interact with. It’s best to wear things that are really yours or clean them well before using them. Jewelry should boost your vitality, not carry someone else’s. Let your jewelry tell your narrative instead of someone else’s.
4. Shoes
You literally and figuratively embark on your life journey in your own shoes. They hold the energy of all the places you’ve seen, from the stress of work to happy memories.
Putting on someone else’s shoes might make their path a part of yours in some way. Some cultures even think it’s bad luck to borrow shoes since it could bring on someone else’s problems or exhaustion.
Energetically, it’s about grounding; your feet bond you to the Earth, and that connection should be yours alone. Don’t walk in someone else’s footsteps for too long, even if it’s only for a short time.
5. Makeup or Skincare Products
Not only is sharing makeup dirty, but it also drains your energy. When you borrow someone’s lipstick, mascara, or lotion, you take in part of their energy, emotions, and tension.
The skin is the body’s biggest organ, and it reacts strongly to what it touches. Using someone else’s beauty products might have effects on more than just your skin.
It can change how you see yourself and how confident you feel, especially if the other person’s energy is different from yours. Beauty routines are personal; they should boost your energy and not show someone else’s. Your skin and your spirit both deserve to be clean.
6. Wallets or Purses
Things that hold money, just like money itself, carry energy. It may seem innocent to borrow someone’s wallet or backpack, yet these things are full of their personal vibrations, including their worries, successes, or problems with money.
Wallets are a symbol of abundance and flow in terms of money and energy. Combining that energy with someone else’s can change how well you are at dealing with money or how confident you are with it.
Don’t let anyone else use your financial tools. A wallet isn’t only a place to keep things; it’s also a sign of self-worth and personal flow.
7. Personal Electronics
You could think that phones, headphones, and laptops are just tools, yet they’re quite personal. These gadgets take in energy from their owners, such as their conversations, feelings, and behaviors.
Even for a short time, borrowing someone’s device can feel strange because it has their mental imprint on it. These things have a spiritual vibe; they don’t only store files.
If you have to borrow, make sure your goal is clear and short. If not, you can lose your focus. Your digital area is like your electromagnetic fingerprint: it’s one of a kind, private, and best left alone by others.
8. Books of Deep Meaning
It’s okay to borrow a regular book, but spiritual or emotionally charged texts like notebooks, prayer books, or personal favorites have a special type of energy.
They hold the reader’s feelings, discoveries, and even suffering in their pages. You might not even realize it, but you can feel that vibration when you borrow them. Some people even notice a change in their mood while they read.
It’s okay to offer knowledge, but energy shouldn’t necessarily go with it. Let someone keep a book that really touched them; do not ask for it to be returned to you. You will learn all the knowledge you need in a different way.
Born and raised in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Ever since I was a little girl, my imagination knew no bounds. I remember vividly how I’d scribble down short stories, each page bursting with adventures and characters conjured up from the whimsy of my mind. These stories weren’t just for me; they were my way of connecting with my friends, offering them a slice of my fantasy world during our playtimes. The joy and excitement on their faces as we dived into my fictional realms motivated me to keep writing. This early passion for storytelling naturally evolved into my pursuit of writing, turning a childhood hobby into a fulfilling career.
