Depends & depends. Work on your crown chakra especially, and also your bottom three. Imagine all the light that you have left behind returning to a light above your head, and then coming in through your crown. You may "see" this happening, as the energy is recalled from the locations where you left it, but you should definitely feel this happening. If you are properly grounded (Imagining a thick chord connected from the base of your spine to a spot in the fiery center of the earth, this is "your spot" only), then this protection should actually improve your ability to use your gifts to help someone. Your thoughts and energies will be less cluttered and diluted, and you will be able to focus on what you're trying to do. When All of your energy is moving in one direction, you will accomplish miraculous things.
