Post No. 171 - Convenience vs. responsibility

Something which is important to me is living responsibly. That includes things like shopping as ethically as I can. In many cases, that involves not going to the closest or most convenient shop, but one that may be a little out of the way - as well as planning shops so they minimise use of petrol whenever I can. I'm greatly helped in this by my partner, who is the most ethical woman I know, and has had great experience in planning her life to be ethical - as has her other primary partner (we are all polyamorous - see here if you haven't come across that before). I also actively avoid certain shops that, for instance, are known to discriminate against trans women. [1]

A similar principle applies to psychic energy. I avoid travel routes, for instance, that I can sense significant amounts of negative energy on - or, if I do, for whatever reason, have to go that way, I make sure I am well protected [2], and focus on things like flaming (see here and here) and grounding afterwards.

This is not always convenient: in fact, it can be downright INconvenient ... but it is part and parcel, as far as I am concerned, about being an adult with respect to psychic energies.

Love, light, hugs and blessings

Notes:

1. If this is something you would like to try, I recommend making contact with socialist and/or vegan groups/individuals. My experience is that they are two groups who are quite likely to be able to give you good, thoughtful advice on ethical choices - you may not necessarily agree with their decisions, but at least you will get to a place of well-considered views, whatever those may be, by engaging in such discussions.
