Good morning, everyone, good evening, good afternoon, wherever you are, and welcome to this week's weekly

energy boost. My name is Ali Shava, and I have with me this morning the best, I would say my

personal authority when it comes to talking about today's topic, which we titled spiritual

self-defense. I, um's the word I called in a

favor? And I brought my husband on the show because David gave me another opportunity to

navigate change late last night. And I was so excited because thanks to you guys hopefully if you if you had a chance

to hear last week's episode you know that I got to work on my spiritual muscles last week

this week I am just so excited because it were it really did work out perfectly and this week

we're going to be this morning we're going to be talking about spiritual self-defense

as part of our month-long discussion on living authentically and really tapping into our natural

abilities, which is constant connection, inspiration, creativity, knowing, flowing, that really

should be our normal operating mode, and yet we have all these different barriers that

prevent us from living there.

And I think other people's energy, other people's actions,

oftentimes we let other people's,

even their opinions of us interfere with the choices

that we make on our spiritual journey.

So today we're gonna talk about

keeping maintaining integrity and courage and protecting ourselves, really,

against situations in which our spiritual connection or well-being could be compromised.

And that is why my husband is here with us.

He is an expert, I would say, in all things energetic.
