Do we ever need energetic protection?
Now for my unpopular (or unconventional) opinion: I almost never energetically protect myself.
Part of this is because a fully integrated lightbody is generally self-managing. But even before my lightbody was fully integrated, I still rarely invoked protection. Why? Not because energetic protection is never useful—but because the Guides taught me something early in my development that fundamentally changed how I relate to energy.
They taught me that if something is happening to us—or if we are witnessing it—there is a point of attraction within our own energetic body.
From there, I realized I had two options. I could protect myself, which might bring temporary relief from whatever was irritating my energy body in that moment. Or I could take responsibility by identifying the fragmented belief, pattern, or identity within me that created the point of attraction—and remove it permanently.
I almost always choose the latter. And that choice has paved the way for my deeper awakening.
When we rely solely on protection, the challenge is that whatever was acting as the irritant doesn’t disappear—it simply finds another way to show up in our lives until it’s addressed. Because, as the Guides taught me, if it’s happening to us or entering our field, there is something within our energetic body that’s responding to it.
That said, this isn’t to say energetic protection has no place. It does. And the Guides will speak more about this shortly.
I also want to be candid about what the path I’ve chosen actually requires. I can honestly say it’s played a major role in the clarity of my channeling. The clearer your energetic body, the easier it is to channel. Over time, as I’ve taken responsibility for both large and subtle energetic wounds, I’ve seen a profound difference in what is able to come through me.
But this way of working with energy isn’t a one-off practice—it became a lifestyle.
After years of doing this, it’s now a habit. If I go to the grocery store and, for whatever reason, an interaction leaves me feeling unsettled, I’ll sit in my car for a moment before driving home and do the shadow work needed to identify the point of attraction within me. I ask my body intelligence: What is my responsibility to this situation I do not prefer? What fragmented belief, pattern, or identity is asking to be seen and released?
Living this way has required me to slow down. I no longer overschedule myself the way I once did. I design my days with self-care and shadow work in mind—because as an awakened soul, these are not luxuries. They are essential skills for maintaining myself as a clear, and stable channel.
Seraphim, my angelic guides, now have a message for us about energetic protection. In keeping with the convention of our blog, the text in italics below is the directly channeled message as I hear it in my head, verbatim.
Seraphim: Energetic protection has a place on your plane. That is, there are situations where it is warranted, but before we get there, we want to append to what the channel has extrapolated above. When there is a point of attraction in you such that a situation you do not prefer has been magnetized to you, it is a gift. Why is such an inconvenience a gift? It is a gift precisely because whatever the belief, pattern, or identity that is causing this situation you do not prefer, it means they are ready to go and this is the fragmentation’s way of telling you, “Hey, we are about to leave. Thank you for your hospitality, but we must go into the light now.” It is also a way for your guidance to get confirmation that you will no longer be comfortable with the discomfort such that you have the capacity to ignore your own awareness. So, it is a gift of transmutation to be inconvenienced with a situation you do not prefer.
We taught our guidee what she is imparting above precisely because if you are incessantly protecting yourself, what you are really doing is you are keeping the fragmentation active. They are trying to tell you they are ready to go into the light, but you are sitting there and saying, “No, stay for some coffee and desserts.” They are ready to go, and it’s important to allow them to go into the light. For that to occur, your guidance system will ensure that you truly understand the belief, pattern, or identity that has fragmented them. So, that is that.
The next thing we want to share with you is when protection is necessary. At any given point in time, the physical body has a finite capacity to process energy. Throughout time and space, you are infinite beings, but the design of the human body makes it such that your capacity to process fragmentation is finite at any given point in time. With that in mind, when you are overwhelmed with all that is coming through, then protection may be necessary because it is important to process what you can and defer the rest so as not to overload the energetic body. This is the number one reason to protect yourself.
There has been much shared in this moment. Call on our energies for support and it will be so. And, so it is.
