A short YouTube monologue (by Elay Amitay Halevi) explaining a Kabbalistic claim that a person's aura extends roughly 88 inches and that emotional/energetic dependency on others makes one vulnerable to absorbing negative energy. The speaker gives practical self-reflection prompts (e.g., asking what you depend on) as a method to protect one’s energy field.
Kabbalah explains. Your aura is approximately 88 inches in radius from your body. This is why we feel uncomfortable if someone with bad energy or low energy comes close to us. How do you protect yourself from this negative energy? First, realize that the only way you can be affected by someone's negative energy and listen carefully to this is if you depend on them for energy. Depending on someone makes you vulnerable. It opens up the 88 inches of your aura to absorb their energy. If you are a teacher, a therapist, a mentor, or even a friend to someone and you want to protect your energy from being drained, ask yourself, what am I trying to take from this person? Where am I depending on this person? Do I need them to like me? Do I need them to validate me? Do I need their money? Any kind of neediness punctures your aura and drains your energy. Remind yourself all that you're looking for is already inside of you. This is how you protect your energy field.
