Drama

What is drama in relation to how a person is acting or communicating?  Drama happens when a “story” is excessively embellished verbally or physically with an excited or loud voice or exaggerated physical gestures.  A lot of heightened emotions are on display including histrionics and hysterics.   Does that sound familiar in light of the political craziness that our country has just gone through this past year? 

We all know drama queens (or kings).  What is their ultimate goal for carrying on in this way?  First of all, they need attention.  Perhaps they did not get enough of that whey they were young, or they have a diagnosable psychological condition.  They may just want to feel better about themselves.

Once they have your attention, use your inner/higher guidance system to detect which way their energy is flowing.  Is it outwards towards you, or from you into them?  If you are a sensitive person, either energy flow will not feel particularly good to you. 

If the energy flow is going out to you, quite often in a forceful manner, that means that the dramatic person is dumping their heavy energy onto their surroundings.  For someone who still has their chakras, the 5^th or throat chakra, is called the smoke stack of the chakra system.  If one is not grounded, the heavy energy that builds up in all of us during the day cannot be purged down into the core of the earth to be combusted.  It backs up and comes out the throat chakra, often in some sort of distorted verbiage.  The result is that you feel heavy and even sick after one of these interactions when you have been dumped on.  For me, it feels like I have been slimed. 

If their energy flow is facilitating their feeding off of the energy in the room (or you) and taking it back into themselves, in these situations I say that “the big straw is out”.   If you are on the other end of this dynamic, you might feel energetically drained or also sick. 

So what to do?  First of all, distance yourself from the drama.  Leave the room, hang up the phone, etc.  If you have been dumped on, use your physical hands to gather up the other person’s heavy energy from your body and throw it back at them.  If you have been drained, make sure you are grounded and expanded and that will replenish your own energy.  Firm boundaries are always a must, too. 

What I have described here is one of the reasons why people who are healing their own issues and raising their own frequencies frequently disconnect from friends and relatives who are carrying on this way.  One’s circle of people may get smaller until those of like mind start to gravitate to you!
