If you’re someone who is highly sensitive or porous, you may find that you absorb the emotions and energies of those around you. This can be both a blessing and a curse, as it allows you to connect deeply with others but can also leave you feeling overwhelmed and drained. Here are some tips for coping with being porous:
Practice self-care:
As a porous person, it’s important to prioritize your own self-care. This may include taking time for yourself each day, engaging in activities that bring you joy, and setting boundaries with others.
Grounding techniques:
Grounding techniques can help you stay centered and connected to your own energy. This may include meditation, deep breathing, or visualization exercises.
Protect your energy:
It’s important to protect your energy from negative or draining influences. This may include using crystals, carrying a protective talisman, or visualizing a shield of light around you.
Surround yourself with positive people:
Surrounding yourself with positive, supportive people can help you maintain your own energy and avoid absorbing negative emotions from others.
Practice mindfulness:
Mindfulness can help you stay present and aware of your own emotions and energy. This may include practicing mindfulness meditation, yoga, or other mindful activities.
Seek support:
If you’re struggling with being porous, it can be helpful to seek support from a therapist or coach who understands your unique challenges and can help you develop coping strategies.
Embrace your sensitivity: Being porous can be a gift, as it allows you to connect deeply with others and experience the world in a unique way. Embrace your sensitivity and use it to bring joy and compassion to those around you.
The Porous Can Thrive
Being porous can be challenging, but with the right tools and support, you can learn to manage your sensitivity and thrive in the world around you. Remember to prioritize your own self-care, protect your energy, and seek support when needed. With these strategies in place, you can embrace your sensitivity and use it to create a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Good advice. Some hide out in their homes because they can’t cope with the energies around them. There is always a way to embrace life fully if we look. Thank you.
