How to prevent my energy from getting stolen?

Question: As I have resolved psychology and raised my level of consciousness, earth inhabitants subconsciously want to steal my energy when I interact with them. How can I prevent my energy from getting stolen? I want to speak out as the masters have encouraged us to do.

Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2026 American Webinar.

Well, you need to use the teachings to discover what subconscious selves that you have that makes you think you have to give your energy to other people. And when you work on this, you will find that you have certain subconscious selves that might even color the way you look at the need to speak out. You might have, for example, as many avatars have, as we have talked about many times, you have an intent for coming to earth, a wanting to help people. And therefore, you might very well have separate selves that are created here on earth based on the difficult environment you are in and the difficulty in getting people to even listen to you. You have created these selves that say you have to do whatever it takes to help people, including giving them your energy.

What I am pointing out to you is that in many cases it is not that people are stealing your energy in an aggressive or deliberate manner. It is that they are there simply receiving what is flowing out of your energy field because you have these subconscious selves that makes you feel that you should be giving your energy to other people in order to be able to help them so that you can get the feeling that you are helping them. And you need to overcome these selves so that you are speaking out but not from a desire to give yourself the experience that you are being useful, that you are helping people, that you are doing something that has some epic importance. This ties in with Jesus’ dictation where he talks about overcoming the self-focused self. We have given quite a number of teachings on this. You can, of course, also give decrees for protection of your energy field. But in the long run, you need to resolve the selves because people cannot actually steal your energy without your subconscious consent. You have a subconscious self that, in a sense, gives them consent to take your energy or even willingly gives it to them.
