Mishneh Torah, Defilement by a Corpse 3-5 · Beginner voice, Standard

Hook

Have you ever walked into a room right after a massive argument had taken place? Even if everyone is sitting in silence, you can almost feel the tension hanging in the air. You do not need to touch anyone or even speak to know that the atmosphere is heavy. We often talk about "absorbing someone else's energy" or "picking up bad vibes."

In our hyper-connected, fast-paced modern world, we are constantly bombarded by the feelings, stresses, and crises of other people. We walk through life like emotional sponges, soaking up everything around us until we feel completely overwhelmed, weighed down, and spiritually exhausted. We struggle to know where we end and where other people begin. We desperately need a way to understand how heavy energy travels, how to protect our personal space, and how to hit the reset button when we have taken on too much.
