Thank you for sharing your words of caution. They added further clarity.

The timing of your story is synchronous with my past week ~ topic of evil eye. My mom knew when one of us probably encountered this situation and knew how to remove/break that energy’s hold on us. You are right ~ energy doesn’t lie. Glad I learned Reiki ~ a way to transmute energy. Learning to be aware of negative energy matters. Then we can address how to handle it.
