Our client writes: “Would it be beneficial for me to take your course to clear spaces, people, and pets or would I not be a good candidate because of being an empath? I am a student in animal communication and seem to have a knack for connecting with the spirit world but I am hesitant because I worry about protecting myself or connecting with the wrong spirit.”

The reality of this situation is you are already perceiving these energies and this will not change because of your reach. So it would be preferable to learn a bit more about this and, in addition, have powerful tools to deal directly with such energies to bring in the powerful help needed to remove them from the vicinity and send them to a place where they can be worked on to raise them up and make them less of a danger. There are many ways the Protocol can be used without taking on the darkness single-handedly. If you use it simply to protect yourself and loved ones, you will automatically be launching many requests on behalf of others, all of which does not require you to go and confront the negativity involved with those targets, yourselves included, and that is a great blessing of the Protocol and the way it is constructed. So you have two options in its use—one would be to explore what is going on with your client and obtain feedback about the particulars. This is where some empaths get into trouble because they cannot resist sampling the energies themselves and this invites trouble. There needs to be the ability to work somewhat from a distance in order to maintain that safety without incorporating the negative energies needing to be removed from the client. But if you use the Protocol at arm’s length, the way most practitioners do who get little or no intuitive feedback, you can go through the motions of making all of the needed requests to set a strong intention for them to be carried out without doing an outreach to scan the client and perceive what may be out of order and get feedback about its nature and origins. So you can have the best of both worlds here, you can get the results and benefits of the Protocol healing without taking personal risk. This could help you greatly in strengthening your conviction about your power, your standing, and the ability to ask for safety and get an effective support from the divine realm to make it so and reinforce this no matter what. So we see that a proper use of the Protocol would be more of a solution than a problem for you. You will need to be disciplined in doing your intuitive work but when you know the ins and outs of the Protocol, should this lead to something happening that makes you uncomfortable, you can stop and exercise requests from the Protocol to deal with whatever energy is present, and see that it is dealt with in a rapid and effective fashion, and with certainty. This is what you have needed all along to be comfortable in a hostile environment as an empath. Yes, there are risks in doing intuitive work routinely when you are doing it to connect to dark targets. So what we are saying for you is, you can use your intuition to do those explorations intended to receive useful and positive information, as with animal communication, and should you bump into a dark energy, for example, an attachment of a spirit to an animal client, you will know how to handle that quite effectively by going back to the Protocol, using it in a routine fashion without an intuitive outreach to that animal, but simply going directly to the divine realm on its behalf and making the requests for the clearings and healings, and this will allow you to then go back to your intuitive work in a calm and orderly way knowing that things have been put right and there are no potential hazards remaining whatsoever. So this would help make your life complete and be an asset for you.
