Your healing IS your protection

May 21, 2025 | By: Kimberly Dam

First, I want to preface what I'm about to share here by stating, YES! I fully acknowledge negative polarized beings, however it presents within our reality. (Entities, aliens, reptilians, public figures and leaders, organizations, etc.)

BUT

I also take full ownership of the ways the negative polarity presents in me.

AND

This is why I don't practice (or advocate for) external protection practices, such as gridding, protection rituals, etc. Straight up — I see most of these so-called protection practices as spiritual entertainment. They create the illusion of transformation — but more often, they’re distractions. Distractions that keep us busy, enchanted, and just far enough from the real work of sitting with what’s unresolved within.

At best, they soothe. At worst, they deceive.

They feed the ego’s need to feel powerful without requiring the surrender that actually is powerful. And no, I don’t believe they hold up over time — not if your true aim is integration, embodiment, and wholeness.

GASP!

I know. But let me ask you — if what's out there is what's in here, then what are you really protecting yourself from?

Your wholeness.

Because here's the thing... when we make "protection" our focus, we reinforce the idea that we are under attack. That something outside of us holds more power than what is within us. That we are unsafe by default and must constantly shield, defend, and separate.

But what if the real threat isn't "out there"?

What if the discomfort, the pain, the triggers — what if they're all invitations? What if they are divine alarms sounding off inside your nervous system, your subconscious, your soul... guiding you back to the parts of yourself that are ready to be seen, heard, healed?

What if your healing is your protection?

Because when you begin to alchemize the fear within, when you learn to sit with your own shadow instead of outsourcing it to an entity, an energy, or another person — you reclaim your power. Fully.

You stop seeing life as a battlefield and start seeing it as it actually is... a mirror. 

From a Shamanic perspective — and I’ve witnessed this again and again in practice — when someone claims to be under attack, it’s often not an external force at all. More often, it’s an unintegrated part of themselves calling out for attention. These fragments, denied or buried, begin to express themselves in ways that feel foreign or invasive… but they’re not. They’re you.

When we don’t recognize these aspects as part of our own psyche or soul, we project them outward. We cast them as "dark forces," "entities," or "energies." But truly, these are orphaned parts of the self, begging to be brought back into the fold.

Begging to be fucking felt.
(Yes, sometimes repeatedly, for as long as it takes.)

True protection is not about avoiding the dark.

It’s about becoming so intimately acquainted with our own darkness that we no longer fear it. 

So integrated with our grief, our rage, our pain, our power… that we stop perceiving them as threats.

When the “negative” no longer feels foreign — because you’ve made a home for it within yourself — it loses its ability to destabilize you.

It’s not about being filled with more light.
It’s about becoming whole.

The more you heal, the less you need to protect — because there’s nothing left to defend against.

So the next time you feel the urge to armor up, to grid the room, to invoke layers of spiritual security… pause.

Ask yourself... what in me is still afraid? What part of me have I not yet met? And can I offer that part of me the presence and acceptance it’s truly craving?

That’s divine protection.

Not separation.
Not defense.
But deep, radical integration.

-------

Ready to walk this path together?

If this resonates — if you’re beginning to sense that what you’ve been protecting yourself from might actually be what’s asking to be healed — I invite you to explore this work more deeply with me.

Whether you’re navigating shadow integration, reclaiming lost parts of yourself, or simply ready to move from spiritual defense into embodied wholeness, I offer spaces for that healing.

You don’t have to walk this path alone.

👉🏼 Check out my current offerings here, and let’s walk this remembering together.

Your healing is your divine protection.
And you are so worthy of both.

-------

Before you move on — pause.
Close your eyes, surrender the weight of your body, release any control of the breath.
Notice what sensations are alive in your body right now.
Is there tightness? Numbness? Warmth? Shaking?
Don’t try to fix it. Just be available to it.
Sense into it with every ounce of your awareness.
Offer it to Spirit as the sacred confession it is.
This is where I am now.
“I’m scared.” “I’m anxious.” “I’m lost.” "I can't do this on my own."
Whatever is.
So that Spirit can see you where you truly are — and rush in to support you.
