Hook

Have you ever walked into a room and instantly felt the tension, even though nobody was speaking? Or maybe you spent an hour chatting with a deeply grateful friend, and you walked away feeling like you were floating on air?

We like to think of ourselves as solid, independent islands. We build walls, lock our doors, and try to keep our inner lives completely separate from the chaos of the outside world. But the truth is, we are incredibly porous creatures. We are constantly absorbing the moods, habits, and spiritual "vibes" of the people, spaces, and things we connect with. We are like sponges, soaking up whatever water we happen to be floating in.
