Thinking about family matters may cause you to feel tense today, and this sense of irritability might be due to the fact that it is difficult for you to extricate yourself from certain situations both emotionally and energetically. Learning to detach with compassion may not only make things go much more easily with your loved ones but could also help you feel more at ease when dealing with their issues. One way to lovingly detach is to imagine that you are surrounded by a cocoon filled with light, positive energy and that within this space, nothing negative can affect you. If you can imagine this space as something that shields your heart without closing it off completely today, you might find that it is easier to open up to the needs of those around you without getting frustrated.

Keeping our distance in a healthy way allows us to connect with others without negatively affecting our own piece of mind. Those close to us can present us with certain challenges for our closeness often means that we let ourselves give too much, particularly in trying situations. Remaining open but with a certain amount of protection, however, doesn't mean that we are closing ourselves off from our loved ones; it means that we are taking care of ourselves so that we can support and encourage the people we care about in a healthier manner. Creating a healing space around yourself today will not only protect you but will also help others find solace and comfort as well.
