Absorbing thought forms

Personally, I think that is the worst advice possible. I know it’s not uncommon in some shamanic practices, but shamans are taught and have guides that can help them if it goes wrong.

You don’t need that energy as you can easily gain more by cultivating clean energy from he cosmos.

So imo, the best thing to do it attack it, and either drive it away or kill it. If you kill it, get that dark energy away from you, don’t try to alchemizse it into something useful - because if you have no skills in alchemy to do that, you’ll just absorb nasty dark energy that could imbalance you and make you sick, and worst case it’ll possess you - but remove it from your sphere completely.

This is my method, aka the “Kill it with fire” method, and this collection thread has many others you can also choose from:
