I recently attended a professional college football game with some friends and family. We stayed with friends and so the energy level was filled with excitement and fun. As we proceeded to the game I began to notice energy that I was not all too familiar with. As we got closer, the energy grew stronger and stronger. I began to notice subtle changes within me, a slight headache behind my eyes, an almost nervous type of energy. I did not pay much attention to it at the time, just brushing it off as excitement.

We hung out a bit before the game and checked out what the local pre-game was all about. The energy remained the same so I did a quick cleanse, put up a shield. All the while thinking I was simply taking on everyone else’s energy.

As we entered the stadium, I felt more of a headache come on. At this point I knew I was in for a treat the rest of the day. I asked spirit to help me cleanse and tried to ground several times to no avail. I drank water, and envision myself growing roots to ground.

As the game started and the roar of the cheering fans commenced, my headache grew stronger. By half time, I had the worst headache I’ve experienced in quite some time. I felt my energy was being sucked from my body and I couldn’t control it. The competitive atmosphere was just so strong that no matter what I did, it had no affect.

While competitive energy is very useful and has its place in win or loose situations, that energy can really overcome one. After we left the thousands of fans and decided to grab a bite to eat, I thought, great food usually makes a huge difference in grounding my energies. Well even food could not help with amount of energy. Ugh. I was exhausted.

Finally, later in the evening, we packed everyone up and headed for home. Thank goodness, I was truly ready to leave. I try not to be a party pooper, but I was so exhausted. I must admit that I do not put myself in large crowds very often, nor do I attend such events because of the energy that saps my being. But this competitive energy was above everything that I could do.

Sometimes, it seems there is nothing I can do to protect yourself from certain kinds of energy. Since there were thousands of very competitive fans there I found that the energy was greater than me and that I should have thought about different types of protection before I went. A very good lesson learned!
