Why do empaths have bad experiences? Why do I have to protect myself all the time? Why can't...

...the protection be constant?

That's a pretty loaded question(s). Lol. Everyone has bad experiences, not just empaths. Clearly Earth is not a utopia and can definitely be a dumpster fire at times. If you're an empath, this is not your first rodeo on earth and you've probably incarnated many, many times before. When we've incarnated several times, no doubt we are sure to have karmic wounds from all these past lifetimes. These old wounds as well as the wounds from our current lifetime, hold a lot of energy and power. And when they're kept bound in our field and/or our bodies, they'll usually wreak havoc in our lives. However, when we transform these wounds, that bound up energy and power actually then works in our favor and we start to feel more in the flow of life, instead of feeling like we're swimming upstream in a raging river.

Our aura is porous and permeable so protection is an absolute must especially for empaths since we're really good at picking up energy as we're reading it. Protecting yourself and your energy is your responsibility. When we heal these karmic wounds, how we protect our energy will change, how we interact with others and the world will change and how we interact with ourselves will change - all for the better. Your true essence will be able to shine through, even in the midst of a raging dumpster fire. 💖🙏
