I had to learn this the hard way.
There was a time I felt everything…
other people’s moods, their heaviness, their energy—it all found its way to me.
And I thought that was just part of being intuitive.
Part of being open.
But it isn’t.
Spiritual boundaries are something you learn over time.
Not by shutting yourself off…
but by understanding what is yours to hold—and what never was.
I started noticing the difference.
The way my energy felt when it was truly mine.
The way things shifted when I stopped carrying what didn’t belong to me.
That’s when everything changed.
Now, I don’t take everything in.
I don’t explain my distance.
I don’t give access to parts of me that need to stay protected.
And that is part of the craft.
If you’re beginning to feel overwhelmed…
this is your reminder:
You can be open
and still be protected.
You can be sensitive
and still have boundaries.
You can walk this path
without carrying the weight of everything around you.
Your energy is sacred.
Start treating it that way.
