How to Keep Sane While Being Sociable

I have a friend who is leaving today for a family reunion where 30 other family members and a couple of extroverted controlling personalities will be calling some of the shots.  


What’s an introvert to do?

I gently reminded her that she has every right to protect herself energetically from all the loving chaos that promises to ensue; as good as the energy may be, there’s still a whole lot of it and that can be overwhelming.  

There comes a point in time when you really do need to ward it off…but in a good way.  

It’s called putting up warders.

It works like this:

I suggested she imagine herself encased in a bubble of light – white light for protection; green light for healing; and gold light of the Highest Good.

Dealing with obtrusive energies in this way doesn’t address other people or affect them in any way- only the person putting up the warders so it's a safe practice, karmically speaking.

It’s a simple visualization, the intention of which is to keep you safe. And as we all know, having an intention is half the fight!  So it works on a psychological level thanks to the intention.  

And it also works on an energetic level and works more effectively the more you practice it.

Of course, when that fails you can always call for reinforcements.  There’s a candle burning here for my friend and it will be all week as she navigates her (beloved if energetic) family.  And I’m sending her prayers for remembering the blessings of her visit.

(It’s nice to have an ordained minister on call for moral support!)
