‘“A few months ago, I felt that every time I went to places like restaurants, shopping centres, the city centre… my energy was completely discharged,” María, from Spain, says.
“So I put a band-aid on it [my belly button] because the navel can absorb other people’s energy.
“What the band-aid does is protect me from that energy and also prevents my own energy from coming out.”
The clip has so far gained 15,800 likes, as well as 900 comments from baffled users.
Mirella said: “So the navel is a spiritual plug?”
