The Toxic Culture Shield is a Reiki energy that helps block out negative energy coming from the culture around you. If you are an empath or a sensitive, this shield will be particularly helpful to you. You may have noticed that pop culture is becoming increasingly decadent and materialistic. Some music and television programs are actually used to broadcast negative energy out to the world. The Toxic Culture Shield helps block that negative energy and provides also a way to help shift the collective energy away from such damaging media.
