Thanks for sharing, I'll give it a listen.

Eh, I'm alright. I struggle with my tendency for blunt honesty.

I think it's the norm these days for businesses to raise rates every year or every few years. It's kind of expected now, even though I don't like it.

Yeah, unfortunately. The services don't usually match the prices they're wanting to charge a lot of the time either.

I have an original Kindle that I like to use for reading. It's so convenient when I finish an e-book to just scroll through and select my next one without even getting up out of my chair :D

Hello and welcome to the community Kat,

I hope you come to enjoy the community and become a regular member here.

I'm trying to get my dad a new wireless keyboard and mouse combo and am looking for something that will last a few years. He seems to go through them every few years and replacing batteries doesn't fix any issues. I don't know what he does to those things!

Anyway, I'm looking at a Logitech MK670 that's about $80. Hopefully it's one of the better ones?

Shielding techniques.

Shielding your aura

Techniques

The bubble

The cloak

The suit of armour

The column/pillar of light (colour of your choice)

When you work with your intuition, it is wise to learn how to set up immediate boundaries with people that drain or depelete your energy. If you encounter these people that have chaos reigning in their life, those users and abusers that seek to drain you of your own energy, the best steps to shielding is indeed picking up the pieces after you've been through such a conflict and encouraging for next to no communication until you have healed your energy.

The bubble is simply that. Stepping into a bubble of light (of your choice tailored to your own energy), whichever is appropiate.

The Cloak

The cloak zips you up in light from foot to head, cloak decorations can be of your choice. Some people go for blue as the colour of archangel michael, others go for more uplifting colours like lilac, pink.

Do you feel drained and scattered within your energy?

Ever felt as though your energy is leaking and pouring out to all places, people and situations that seek to hinder you?

If you do feel tired or sleepy or drained, here's a few things on what you can do to mend the gap in your auric fields and energy.


Stitching up the aura in light

Is there a situation happening around you where you have felt conflicted or in a conflict with someone else whose just made you feel energetically tired or just plain drained? Perhaps they have been thinking negatively of you and influencing the situation.

Here's an exercise anyone can do which assists in mending or handstitching up the leakage of your aura.

Simply relax as you would in any normal meditation, guided or otherwise. When visualizing, envision the part of your aura which requires mending. Visualize lite green healing light and vibrationally weave the light into your aura, if you don't know what this means, find an approach in the way that suits you, but basically how i do this approach is that I visualize a knitting needle with a thread of green light and watch as it ducks in and out of the gap needing to be fixed. I then watch as the thread pools together and stitches up the gap of light in the aura. Then I recenter, using the white light over my body from head to foot and the earthy golden light coming up from the earth up to replenish energy and center by visualizing myself standing where the two light(s) meet.

If you place a piece of rose quartz in your bedroom, on your bedside table, or under your pillow,
it initiates peaceful sleep, invites loving dreams, and romantic harmony.
If you place rose quartz on the left hand side of your home, it wards against old love and romantic interests coming in close proximity to you.
If you place rose quartz on the right hand side of your home, it invites new love, romantic interest or healing vibes to come into your life.
