Could this be an intuitive protection from "bad" energy?
 

Hi there! Ive always done a lot of yoga and meditation, but since living in a house with someone with very very dark vibes (not just me that noticed), I haven't been able to settle for either yoga postures or meditation.
For a while I've given myself a hard time about it, but now I think its a good thing!
Could it be that as an empath, mediation and yoga only open up energy channels more. And if you haven't got robust ways to protect yourself, then around ****** energy, that is not a good thing.
Do you know what i mean?
I really get the feeling its been a wise grace given behavior to drop it, until I can remove myself from the situation.
What do you know about this? thank you.

Meditation is not going to open up channels to energy. It could open up awareness as to what the source of the 'bad energy' is. It might be something that is easy to fix.

Yes that makes sense Wstein, thank you,

Keep up Yoga and meditation!
They raise awareness as stated previously.

Also I'd find other ways to protect yourself.
Such as crystal, viewing your white shield more often and seeing it stronger, avoiding situations that feel negative, prayer to the Universe, keeping strong to your beliefs.
