Suffering from negativity? Read on!

Our universe is full of positive as well as negative energies. All of us are surrounded by energies that tend to affect us in good or bad manner. We all have an invisible kawach or aura that envelopes us wherever we go. Some of us have strong aura that no negative energy can pass on through that towards while others with weak aura fall prey to negative energies.
