Adyashanti Reveals the Secret to Releasing Negative Energy

Season 8
CC | tv-pg
It's a common problem: We let negative emotions fester, and before long we're stuck in a spiral of negativity. However, it doesn't have to transpire that way. Spiritual thinker Adyashanti believes that all negative energy is looking for resolution; we can either let the energy weigh us down, he says, or we can bless it and let it go.

"Bless it. Wish it well," Adyashanti tells Oprah in their Super Soul Sunday conversation. "Wish it its own freedom, and it will be a very powerful way that it will not come back to you. If you don't forgive it, if you don't bless it, if you don't wish it well, that energy will just be magnetically drawn back to you."

Tune in to Super Soul Sunday every Sunday at 11 a.m. ET/PT. Plus, check out Oprah's new podcast, Oprah's Super Soul Conversations. Subscribe now on Apple Podcasts.
