What is "Negative Energy?"

If you're someone who uses this term in your practice, I want you to really think about what "negative" energy means to you and how you perceive it.

Is it always harmful? How does it feel? Is it heavy and suffocating? Is it always like that? Is it something that needs to be "dealt with"? Or is it just a different sort of energy; a natural fluctuation? Does positive energy exist? Neutral energy? How do they interact with each other? Why do you think this?

There's no right answer, it's just important that you know how you identify it and what it means for you.

In a lot of New Age belief systems, "negative" energy is viewed as bad and something to be removed but it's also associated with normal human experiences like sadness and anger and general disagreement. If someone tells you that your anger/sadness/shitty situation etc is "negative energy" - that is spiritual bypassing and it helps no one.
