I feel loved and protected

My parents are visiting now.  I must admit I was dreading their visit as they are always so negative and critical of me. I have forgiven them, but what is so interesting about their visit is that I feel protected.  I think it is because of the meditation Mas did where he strengthened us to protect us against any negativity coming in. It is so hard for me to stay stable when I am around them-it always has been my whole life.  So, I was dreading their visit, but now that they are here, something strange is happening.  I actually feel so good!  Like an internal kind of good.  They still say things to try to cut me down, but I now see how completely unstable they have been their whole lives. Their barbs actually do not sting much anymore and the strangest thing is that they are not attacking me like they did in the past and like I anticipated.  I feel loved and protected by my higher source. ”*
