Have you ever wondered why some days you wake up feeling completely off for no apparent reason? The answer might be simpler than you think – you're absorbing collective energy without realizing it.
On the morning of June 14th, I received a clear message from Spirit: "Put braids in your hair today, protect yourself." This wasn't typical guidance for me, but the timing was significant. That day featured multiple high-profile events converging: Trump's birthday parade, mass protests, the Pope's speech, and the aftereffects of a full moon. When collective attention focuses intensely on the same topics – especially charged ones – it creates a laser-focused energy that sensitive individuals can feel, even from a distance.
This episode dismantles the fear-based narrative around energy protection that dominates many spiritual communities. Contrary to popular belief, we don't need protection from "evil entities" or "demons" – what we're actually managing is our own energetic sovereignty in a world of varying vibrational frequencies. Think of your energy on a scale from one to ten; as an empath, you're naturally pulled toward the dominant energy of your environment unless you maintain clear boundaries.
I share practical protection methods including crystal work, intention setting, and yes – even braiding your hair. The best defense isn't hiding from the world's energy but learning to maintain your own frequency regardless of external circumstances. I explain why everyday energy typically balances out naturally, when specific protection becomes necessary, and how to use this knowledge to intentionally raise your vibration when needed.
Whether you're new to energy work or looking to deepen your practice, this episode offers grounded, practical wisdom for navigating life as a sensitive soul in an energetically chaotic world. Tune in for part one of this two-part series, with more aura strengthening techniques coming in the next episode!
