As summer rolls on here in Southern California I continue doing art shows. As always I learn many lessons about life and people along the way.
The other weekend a woman came into my booth and started grilling me in a very intense and judgemental way about my soul readings.
I could feel my energy dropping and I was at a loss - it happened so quickly! And then she said “I believe you are a young soul” and I snapped to attention. This was a direct invasion of my space that I could immediately identify. No one has the right to force their opinions on you without asking permission first.
So I told her, “I did not ask for your opinion” and she suddenly became very nice to me.
I asked around about this woman and found out that she was very wealthy and had a habit of talking artists way down on their prices and then not seeming to appreciate the discount, but instead took it for granted.

What lessons did I learn in this encounter that might be useful for you?
Lesson 1
Feel the energy in the room and in your body. Take note.
Lesson 2
Put up extra protection by saying a prayer or affirmation.
Lesson 3
Do not overly engage with the person as this may encourage them. Pull back your energy.
Lesson 4
Stand your ground when necessary and speak up for yourself if you feel your boundaries are being dis-respected. Remain calm and use your intelligence.
Lesson 5
After the person leaves sage your space or say a prayer/affirmation and then speak with a trusted friend, spiritual advisor or your guides about what happened. Ground and center by being in nature, touching the earth, hugging a tree.
Lesson 6
Commend yourself on a lesson learned and pull an oracle or tarot card for further insight.
Lesson 7
Reassure yourself that you were NOT imagining things. Your space and your body are yours and you deserve to be treated with respect and decency at all times.
