Spiritual Protection

Something people rarely speak about when living with the Herpes Simplex Virus is spiritual protection. But it's actually very important, and for some, it could be the most important part of the puzzle for reducing herpes flares. But what is spirit and how can it influence outbreaks? Spirit is energy (either loving or draining), and HSPs are really good at sensing the difference. When you are constantly experiencing draining energy (low, sad, depressed, irritated, angry, hostile, volatile, evil), whether it's yours, someone else's, or something in your environment, it adversely affects your nervous and immune systems. In this sense, spiritual protection is "energy protection", which is essential when it comes to living with herpes because without it, your nervous and immune systems suffer, which means more frequent and severe outbreaks.
