Understanding that we are under constant influence of energy is crucial to maintaining balance and peace in our lives. Bad energy, or low vibrations that others carry, has the power to lower our own vibrations. It's important to be constantly be mindful of our external environment to best protect ourselves.

Protection come from simply isolating/distancing yourself from negativity, and more practical methods such as smudging with sage and taking spiritual baths. At the end of the day, we are all spiritual, energetic beings having a human experience.
