Sensitive people absorb energy from environments and others without realizing it. Psychic protection is simply conscious management of your energetic boundaries.
Before entering crowded or heavy spaces, visualize a sphere of white or golden light surrounding your body. Hold the intention: only what serves me enters.
After difficult interactions, visualize roots growing from your feet into the earth, pulling any absorbed energy downward and out.
Black tourmaline, obsidian, or smoky quartz carried or worn act as absorbers. Cleanse them regularly.
Notice how you feel after spending time with specific people or in specific places. Chronic depletion after particular contacts is information, not coincidence.
