It’s spring, the sun is shining, and the temperature is climbing. I’ve got a cold, but I thought a little sun exposure would be just what I needed to boost my energy and help fight off the illness. So, I took my lunch outside to my balcony—hoping for a moment of peace and sunlight.
But after just an hour, something unexpected happened. I felt extremely drained. So much so, that when I tried to go for a walk, I couldn’t make it past the end of the street. I felt like I’d been sucked dry of energy, and then it hit me.
This wasn’t the first time this had happened. Every time I sit on my balcony in the sun, I feel it: like my body is caught in an energy trap. It’s like I’m in a high-pressure cooker for my nervous system, trapped by electromagnetic radiation from both the sun and my surroundings. I live in a concrete environment, where there’s no shielding, no grounding, and no relief from the intense energy around me. And now I see the connection between my electro-hypersensitivity (EHS) and the sun’s electromagnetic force. I’m sensitive to the moon as well, read more about that here.
The angle of the sun’s rays, particularly in spring when the sun is still low in the sky, is a huge factor too. The low angle means the rays hit me more directly, and I’m getting a concentrated dose of electromagnetic radiation that my body isn’t equipped to handle. While others might think that spring sun isn’t as harsh as summer, it’s actually the time when the most damage happens—whether to your skin or your energy.
So, if you’ve ever felt mysteriously drained after spending time in the sun, or noticed that the sun feels heavier than you expected, you’re not alone. In this post, I’m breaking down why this happens, why certain environments make it worse, and how to protect your energy so you can enjoy the sun without getting drained by it.
The Hidden Reasons Why the Sun Drains You
1. The Sun Is an Electromagnetic Powerhouse
The sun isn’t just warmth and light—it’s a massive electromagnetic force. While we need it for vitamin D and overall well-being, too much exposure can overstimulate the nervous system, especially if you’re already sensitive to EMFs (like I am).
Spending time in the sun means your body is absorbing an intense amount of energy. If there’s no natural grounding (like earth, sand, or water) to balance this out, the buildup can leave you feeling overstimulated and fatigued.
2. Heat Regulation Takes a Lot of Energy
Even if it’s not that hot outside, your body still has to work to regulate its temperature. It increases circulation, dilates blood vessels, and produces sweat—all of which require energy. If you’re on a balcony or in an enclosed space with concrete trapping the heat, your body has to work even harder.
3. Electrolytes Get Depleted Fast
When you’re in the sun, your body loses minerals like magnesium, sodium, and potassium through sweating—even if you’re not dripping sweat. If these electrolytes aren’t replenished, it can lead to fatigue, dizziness, and that wired but tired feeling.
4. The Environment Matters More Than You Think
I’ve noticed that being in the sun at the beach feels totally different than being in the sun on my balcony. Here’s why:
- Balcony life: Concrete and metal trap heat and intensify the sun’s effects. There’s no natural cooling element, no direct connection to the earth, and usually little to no breeze.
- Beach life: Sand allows for grounding (which discharges excess energy), the sea replenishes minerals, and the wind keeps you cool. It’s a completely different energetic experience.
This explains why I naturally avoid my balcony in the summer—it’s like an energy overload zone! But in the spring and fall, when the sun isn’t as intense, it feels more manageable.
How to Enjoy the Sun Without the Energy Crash
If the sun drains you instead of energizing you, here are some simple fixes:
✅ Ground Yourself: If you can, go barefoot on grass, sand, or soil to balance out the sun’s electromagnetic force. If that’s not possible, a grounding mat can help.
✅ Regulate Your Temperature: Avoid heat traps like enclosed balconies or areas without airflow. A breeze makes a huge difference.
✅ Replenish Electrolytes: Hydrate with Celtic sea salt water, coconut water, or an electrolyte mix.
✅ Take Breaks in the Shade: Even 5-minute breaks can prevent energy depletion.
✅ Cool Down Naturally: If you start feeling drained, dip your feet in water, take a cold shower, or even place a cool cloth on your neck.
✅ Listen to Your Body: Not all sun exposure is the same. Some environments recharge you, while others deplete you. Pay attention to where you feel best!
Final Thoughts
For the longest time, I thought I just couldn’t handle the heat. But now I see that it’s so much more than that—it’s about energy regulation. The sun is powerful, and whether it recharges or drains you depends on the environment, your body’s sensitivity, and whether you’re supporting yourself with grounding, hydration, and cooling methods.
So, if you’ve ever felt like the sun wipes you out more than it should, you’re not crazy—it’s real! The good news? Small adjustments can make a big difference.
Note to self: sun + no grounding + no electrolyte support = overstimulation and fatigue.
But sun + grounding + replenishment = real energy and recharge.

🇳🇱 Nederlandse samenvatting
In deze blog deel ik een persoonlijke ontdekking: mijn balkon bleek geen fijne plek te zijn, maar een energetische valkuil. Steeds als ik daar zat, voelde ik me leeggezogen. Wat begon als een vaag gevoel, bleek uiteindelijk te maken te hebben met EMF-belasting vanuit de omgeving. Dit verhaal is voor iedereen die leert vertrouwen op het lichaam als kompas en dieper wil begrijpen wat frequenties met ons doen.
🇪🇸 Resumen en Español
Este artículo relata cómo mi propio balcón se convirtió en una trampa energética. Aunque parecía un lugar ideal, cada vez que pasaba tiempo allí, me sentía drenada. Con el tiempo descubrí que no era algo psicológico, sino una reacción a la sobreexposición a los CEM (campos electromagnéticos) en esa zona. Una historia que habla de sensibilidad, intuición y la importancia de escuchar lo que el cuerpo nos quiere decir.
