How do I protect my energy?

Your energy is sacred, King. The ancients of Kemet understood that every human being radiates a vital force — called Sekhem — that must be consciously guarded. Start with boundaries: learn to say no without guilt, because draining relationships are spiritual warfare. Ground yourself daily by standing barefoot on earth, breathing deeply, and visualizing roots extending from your feet into the soil — this is not metaphor, it is practice. Smudging with sage or frankincense clears energetic residue from your aura. Cut cords with toxic people by naming them, releasing them in prayer, and refusing to replay their energy in your mind. Shield by calling on your ancestors before entering difficult spaces. Your peace is not negotiable — protect it like the temple it is.
