Stress Management Often when faced with stress at work or at home, we can feel quite drained. Indeed, we may have noticed how certain individuals or particular situations are draining. We feel as if all our energy has been drawn out of us and it leaves us tired and exhausted. Although this sort of energy cannot be measured in the scientific sense, we can use the power of imagery to stop us feeling drained. E.g. we can visualize that we are encased in a sphere of golden light, so any negative feelings or energies cannot affect us. In a detached way, we can view what is happening and can act appropriately, but we are not touched by the stress. This method of using your power of visualization to create protective shields can be used in stressful situations e.g. before or during an important meeting.
