Feeling tainted by long-term exposure to 'friends'

[Rael1974]

I'm 61 now and in the space of the past 8 years I have consciously cut two very important people out of my life, something I never imagined I'd do, having finally brought into the light their subtly vile animosity towards me across 50 years or so. One of them, my sister, has succumbed to a dark, delusional and insane jealousy towards me and towards my relationship with our Mum. The other, my erstwhile best friend since the age of 6, I discovered to be a revolting sort of black hole of a person, a dark and ineffably mean character who as a chess player treats every contact with others (even close friends) as a petty game of ego v ego in which he never lets his guard drop. All behind a mild-mannered affable exterior yet constant and unchanging. Both these horrors are the sign of Aries. I'm aware of course that this sounds sort of odd, yet I sense they are ENEMIES of mine in a primal, spiritual sense. I have done well to rid myself of them both but it took decades before my mind's eye resolved them in their true light. It's painful and confusing now thinking of the legacy and damage caused. I have always been intensely sensitive to other people (in every sense) and now I feel 'stripped' and 'depleted' by them. Can I restore myself with work on my aura and/or chakras? I need to repair myself and restore my protections. Could anyone out there with knowledge of this delicate subject please advise me where to go with this?
