I am just learning to open myself to the spirit realm. Is there anything I need to protect myself from? I thought the spirit realm was pure love but I keep reading protection prayers and also when I was a young child I remember seeing spirits in my room and then it stopped but still my whole life when I walk in a room I feel scared instantly and want to run away. What is this? Is there something scary on the other side or am I just scared as a result of my conditioning?
