Raising Empathic Children

As if parenting wasn't hard enough, I have to go and throw being an empath in there too! GAWD! I know. I know. I KNOW! But this is a topic we need to look at and we can all thank a dear reader (Empathic Adam) for bringing it up to me in chat. **Side note: I LOVE when you guys message me and give feedback on the blog. Feel free!** Anyhow! As I was saying, it's f&cking hard to be a parent! It's really friggin hard to be an empathic parent. And it's CRAZY hard to be an empathic parent raising empathic kids. Cry with the baby much? I do!

Let me just put this out there. I have three AMAZING kids and the older two are definitely empaths. The eldest (11) is absolutely swamped with it, whereas the middle child (10) seems to naturally filter effortlessly. The youngest is still a baby, so we shall wait and see what happens there lol (oh God save me). Aaaaand YES! Empathic sibling rivalry does exist. I know you were wondering. Seriously. Do you know the struggle of breaking up an argument between two empathic kids, both going for the most cutting remarks they can feel out, and then consoling them when they cry about the words they chose later on? If you're nodding, you're my people.

Empathic kids are GREAT and empathic kids raised by empathic parents is friggin awesomely great. Think about it. Who better to raise empaths? Who better to help them develop and control their gifts than people who've been through it? I can't think of anyone better who would lead them in love as much as we do. So, let's take a moment to breathe and remember that we have a job to do and we are kicking ass at it. We are lightworkers raising lightworkers and we know what we're doing..... stop shaking your head. No? Stop it. I said stop it. LEAVE YOUR SISTER ALONE! Sorry. I had a flashback. Anyhow. Back to you. Stop shaking your head at me. You do know that you're doing. You know that what they're experiencing is real. You urge them to look within and you help them trust themselves with their gifts.

I've created a little list here of things to remember when raising your little empaths. I hope it helps and I hope you find it beneficial, if not today then some other time.

-Treat them with respect so they will also treat others with respect. You set the example for what an empath looks like and how humanity should behave.
-Believe them when they tell you what they have experienced and ask questions. What did the spirit look like? Did you see anything in your mind? Did you smell anything? What did it feel like? This helps your child know they can come to you and trust you; that you understand them. We all know what it's like to not be believed or understood. Asking questions aids in the development and control of their gifts. If you run out of questions, ask them if there's anything else they'd like to tell you or ask if there's anything else they felt. It will go far.
-Focus on the positive. I've seen parents give in to fear with their kids and, in turn, frighten the kids into ignoring/pushing down their gifts. Is negative energy a thing? Yes. Is it powerful? No. It's only as powerful as we give it license to be and let's remember that lower energies do not stand a chance in this "new" energy.
-Teach them how to emit, not shield. We're keeping things positive and we're teaching them to harness their power. We want them to be empowered, not fearful. Right?
-Teach them that they feel more because they are the connection between humanity, Gaia, and Spirit. Telling them they're sponges or that it's a curse leads to the victim complex. Again, are we raising victims or empowered empaths?
-Remind them that it's all energy and can't really hurt them. Yes, emotions can hurt, but it does not last. The emotions are felt, honored and acknowledge, and then they wane. We don't pack up and move into them. Remind your kids this and give them positive ways of getting out the emotional energy - creating, running, playing, etc.

-Get them involved! No good comes from a hermit, maladjusted empath. How are you supposed to be a lightworker if people think you're a crazy weirdo and they can't stand to be around you? Empaths are double agents. We blend in, yet lead by example. Get your kids into social events, volunteering, and the arts where they can learn, practice their energy tools, and use their gifts.

-Teach them how to meditate and ground. Just start with deep breathing and allow them to lead from there. I think you'll be happily surprised.

Hopefully, this little tidbit makes sense. Remember to message me or leave a comment and I'll be happy to answer as soon as I wrangle the baby into a diaper. XO!

Full Moon Ceremony

Oh My Gods am I excited for THIS FULL MOON! Like, buzzing with excitement. I absolutely love the full moon. Next to love and laughter, it's one of my favorite things. This full moon is bound to bring in some amazing energy too, not just from the moon, but people's reactions to it. All it takes is 1% of 1% of the population to cause global change. Imagine how much change this is going to bring about!

**Side note: You're going to have to excuse me. I should have written this blog post yesterday. Today my thoughts are scattered and hard to get into a cohesive line. Why? Full Moon.**

So what's the big deal about this particular Full Moon? This one is a triple whammy. It's a Super Moon, meaning it is at its closest point to the earth in its orbit. It will be 14% bigger than normal - not something the human eye can easily perceive, but it is felt. You know you feel it too. No point in denying. We're all friends here.  ;)

It's also a Blood Moon. A red to orange to brownish hue will cover the moon as it is eclipsed. This moon can carry many ominous warnings from old, but let's just remember we are in control of the energies we put out and what we put out, the universe gives us. The Blood Moon is a magnificent total lunar eclipse. The color comes from Gaia directly. As the light of the sun reaches earth, it interacts with particles in the atmosphere, reflecting and scattering colors. During the day, sunlight is strongest, scattering blue light toward us. At night, the blue light is scattered away because the light has to go through a thicker portion of our atmosphere, hence the reds, oranges, and pinks of a sunset and the colors over the Blood Moon.

As well as being a Super Blood Moon (see what I did there) it's also a Blue Moon... for some. So we have a Super Bloody Blue Moon... Super Blue Blood Moon.... Blue Super Blood Moon? Anyhow. It's special! Let's keep in mind that the Blue Moon portion is only for certain people; mainly those who experienced a Full Moon January 1st. Everyone else is out of luck. Sorry, New Zealand :(

Some of you are thinking (or saying out loud if you're like me), "Okay, Andrea. Wrap it up. What does this mean for us sensitive types?" WELL, Impatient Pants McGee, I'm getting to that. In my own time. When I feel like it... kidding!

This moon will be treated similarly to other Full Moons, but treat it as a special opportunity for you to harness and piggyback on the extra amplified moon energy and the energy of those who are just like you to LET GO! You heard me. LET GO! The Full Moon is the time to reflect on what no longer serves you, choose what you want to let go, and take steps to make that happen. Don't be surprised if, during this particular moon cycle, the truth will come out. Sometimes the truth is painful, but if we allow Spirit to hold us and we lead with our heart, we will come through stronger, better, lighter, and living deeper in spiritual love. Use your gifts and talents to help others and you will surely reap the rewards of January's moon cycles.

My particular Full Moon ceremony is going through some big, spiritually guided changes. Up until now, I wrote out what I wanted to let go of and often burned the scraps under the moonlight (weather permitting). I feel it's time to harness my gifts further now and use them to send my intentions out into the universe via the moon's rays. I had a vision of me dancing around a fire in a long white dress with a halo of flowers. I'm SOOO doing this! Feel free to join me or create your own Full Moon ceremony. I recommend anything that helps you let go and solidify your belief that whatever you wanted to let go of is gone. Remember that the universe is literal. It doesn't hear "don't want". It only hears what you're thinking about. So if you're thinking you want to lose weight, the universe hears weight. To make it manifest, keep it present, positive, and powerful. So back to our example, if you want to "let go" of weight, really we want to be grateful for the perfect health we have right now. See? It's super easy... as long as you don't overthink it...like an empath. LOL Happy Full Blooded Blue Super Magnificent Lunar Eclipse Moon, everyone! XO

New Moon Ceremony

Let me just start by saying I LOVE THE MOON!! I love love love the moon's energy. The full moon is my favorite, but then again I love that big energy. I mean, just look at the glory! I love feeling it run through everything in and on Gaia. The connectedness with living and "non-living" is palpable. But I digress and if you read my blog, you will know that's something I do often. ANYHOW!

The New Moon is here and can you feel that energy?! It's not a "WOW" energy for me, but more of a subtle energy that's starting to wake up. I am a big fan of this New Moon...so far.

Many people have asked me what my moon ceremonies look like and since I clearly don't mind talking, I'm happy to share how I celebrate and welcome in this energy. I will do another post on the Full Moon describing that ceremony closer to it.

New Moons are all about what you want to come into your life. You're planting seeds and trusting the Universe to tend them. Trusting the guidance and listening to your intuition gives the Universe more incentive to feed your seeds. Ask yourself what you want and if you're ready to take action to get you there. Is it really a road you want to go down, remembering that humanity is still in a learning phase, so trials, tests, and obstacles may be a part of that. Are you ready for the emotional toll? What about the social one, knowing that you may "lose" some and gain others? The New Moon asks us to consider all of that growth before we plant the seeds of intention.

When I suddenly look at my calendar and say, "Oh duh! It's the New Moon! No wonder I'm feeling like this," I take time to look over the past month and reflect. Do I still want what I asked for? Am I taking steps to get there? Am I following the guidance offered? Sometimes it's a "no", and that's  completely fine. Sometimes is an "OH HELL NO!" with a nervous giggle. I know you can relate.

After that mess errr...reflection, I gather what I'm called to, which means I stare at my cabinet of herbs, dried plants, sages, symbols, and other spiritual "stuff". Like serious stare. Like that kind of staring you do into the fridge when you're hungry but you don't know what you want and you're waiting for the perfect thing that will satisfy all your hunger with one bite. Yeah. Never happens for me either. I do, however, trust spirit to guide my hand while indulging my spiritual ADD. Ooooh, something shiny! I gather everything that calls to me, regardless of how much or how little it is. I set it on my favorite table in my favorite bowl. I sit down and I write myself a letter. I let it ALL out too. I talk to myself like I'm my best friend. I remind myself of how far I've come, how much I've grown, who I am, and what I want to see come into my life over the next few hours, weeks, days, months, and years. I allow it to come. When I'm through, I take a photo to remind myself because repetition breeds manifestation. If it's a nice night, I pray over the pieces and talk aloud to the moon, asking it to help the Universe hear me. I rip the pieces up, depending on how I feel, add my herbs, and light it all on fire. I fan the flames with my breath and hands, a reminder that it will take action on my part to feed these into manifestation. I watch and sit with it until everything has been reduced to ash, then I sprinkle it through my favorite garden, so I'll see it every day and remember. If the weather is rough, I still do this ceremony, but either on my concrete porch or in my kitchen sink. 

Now I know that this tends to go without saying, but the moon is distracting so please allow me to remind you not to ever leave an open flame or hot ashes unattended. Don't spread your ashes until they've cooled completely. Make sure your bowl is not flammable and if you do this inside, you take every precaution to not harm yourself, your living space, or others. Also, if you do this inside... remember that you have fire alarms. I've set off quite a few in my time lol. All of this is assuming my ceremony calls to you and you'd like to give it a try.

I sincerely hope you've enjoyed this blog post and it's helped you develop your own New Moon ceremony. If you like it enough to share it, I absolutely welcome that. Remember to message me for an appointment if you're a struggling sensitive.

Namaste, Love and Light, and don't burn your house down with your ceremony XOXO

Warning: Language

Well... This post just piggybacks perfectly onto my last post. If you haven't read it, I suggest you stop here and give it a read before continuing here.

A few days ago I saw this posted on a "spiritual" Instagram account and it stopped me in my tracks completely.

I kinda just paused, jaw hanging open, eyes wide and kinda darting in that way that says "did I just see that?" Then my inner badass lightworker reared her warrior head and I thought (and maybe said out loud), "Well who's fucking problem is it then?!" How apathetic can you get? Ummm... no.

Lightworkers. Come on. Am I being punked? Of course it's your problem! It's all our problem! Listen, you can't change people and you can't force people to do things, but you are here to be the change. You are here to embody all that is right with humanity and show them a better way. It's not only our problem, it's our job. It's in the title. LightWORKER. You're meant to get to work.

"So how does the average lightworker do this?" you may be asking. How can spiritual people get involved without getting overwhelmed? Lead by example! Show people how easy it is to live in the light. You don't have to bow and say Namaste all day long. You don't have to be perfect, pure, calm, and joyful 24/7. No one expects you to wear hemp and skip the deodorant. BUT! You can share your ideas kindly and respectfully with people around you as well as your local and not so local government leaders. In conversation please, people. No one likes a spiritual ambush. We have a social responsibility to embody what's right in the world. Change the world just by being you. Show them what social responsibility really looks like. Pick up garbage. Don't solve your problems with violence. Recycle. Adopt and volunteer. Be kind and have some patience with others. I know that you know what a "better" world looks and feels like. Now prove it because it is your fucking problem as much as it is mine.

What it Means to be Empath

What does it mean to be empath? Have you ever asked yourself that? Maybe Googled it? Over the last few months, this topic has popped into my space enough times to give me pause and wonder. What does it mean? And I don't mean the very narrow definition of an empath being one who feels the emotions of others, but an empath meaning one who experiences energy as a tangible thing. Yes, the uniting definition; the broad definition.

Well, I know it means that empaths vibrate at a higher frequency and, because of that, tend to see things big picture. It can be exhilarating, ostracising, beautiful, frustrating, obnoxious, crazy-making, and amazing all at the same time. Empaths feel separated from other humans. They see the big picture and they can't always understand why others cannot when it is so blatantly obvious. I have a feeling that this is why empaths get so overwhelmed in crowds. Most empaths can look at one person behaving poorly and selfishly, but still appreciate their place in the grand scheme with little to no judgment. We may not agree and we may be able to think of 6 "better" ways, but we get it and we can roll with it because we're better than low judgment, #amiright? At least that's what we strive for lol. But put 100 of those people in an area where the empath feels outnumbered and WHAM!! We got an energy emergency folks. Chill. You got this. Do you know why you got this? Because it's a choice! You choose to feel how you're feeling.

Don't get me wrong. Feelings are real and they can come at us without warning, but we still control them! We can choose to feel it, honor it, and let it flow or we can choose to pack up and live there. Your choice. Sometimes we are better than others. Sometimes we vibrate higher and we rise above, living in all that lovely light...but sometimes we want to rebel and scream and kick right out of our bodies, taking our bat and ball and going home! ;) I get you. I feel you. I understand you because sometimes I'm there too. But I strive to do more and better. This is why I never cut people off in traffic and I'm patient in line. It does no good to behave selfishly... which, incidentally, is a very nice segway into something I feel compelled to bring up. Empaths are not selfish!!

I'm hearing of a very disturbing trend in the empath community. Rudeness, selfishness, and arrogance all in the name of "personal boundaries". This is not the empath way. An empath is never rude. They are never selfish. They are never arrogant. Why? Because they will replay those scenarios in which they were over and over and over again for hours, days, weeks, YEARS. Empaths don't play dirty. They can't, even though sometimes they really want to. The ends simply do not justify the means for an empath. They can, however, be a mirror for others in the name of growth and development, but only when they're 100% sure it will cause no harm. They can have healthy personal boundaries in which it's safe for them to say "no". Empaths understand that we don't owe people an explanation, but we do owe humanity and we are here to serve them by vibrating higher and leading by example.

Now it would be silly of me to think that this isn't going to upset some of you. I'm truly sorry if it does. I have felt strongly about writing this for months and when spirit continually points to something, you know you must pay attention. If this post upsets you and you start to go down the dark rabbit hole of "well maybe I'm not an empath then", reach out to me right away. Andrea@TheBridgeCenters.Com

Today I Sit In Nature

Today I sit in nature, and by "sit" I mean hike two miles through the lush Dupont and Pisgah forests while at a spiritually inclined event. My body is sore and I'm so tired. I'm reminded that having a baby is no reason to get out of shape and that I probably should have brought something with me to help with the pain, but all of that falls away when I reflect on the hike.

I must have touched every tree along the path. I fingers ached to reach out and run a finger lightly over leaves, so I let them. My palms were tingling with anticipation to lay my hand on a tree and enjoy the exchange between us, so I did it. I wanted to stop and talk to every plant and insect in the forests. I did those things. I was concerned what others would think of me as I reached out, the only sensitive in the group constantly touching flora. I could feel the eyes of the people on me. Some were joyful and some were curious. I wondered how out of a group of over 100 sensitives and spiritually inclined people, how was I the only one touching nature? Weird, right? Well no. No, it's not weird at all.

Each empath (or sensitive or spiritually inclined person or HSP) feels and connects with energy in a different way - a way as unique as they are. It's entirely possible that out of the entire community, I am the only one who felt so drawn to the forest, I had to communicate with it and touch it directly.

As empaths, we walk a different truth than 90% of the population, yet we effect everyone around us just by being ourselves. For us, we are the few effecting the many. I could have easily dropped my hand and walked along with the group, but instead, I followed my energy. I let it lead me and it lead me to peace, joy, and an amazing day communing with nature. I wonder what would happen if I let my energy lead more often? What would I find?

Crystals and Gemstones, Part 2

Hello, everyone :)
I've noticed the sheer number of people checking out the Crystals and Gemstones post. Well, let's add on to it! Prepare yourselves for some truth. In all honesty I've been meaning to add to that post anyway as new experiences and information come to light.

I know being an empath can be confusing and scary to some people and crystals and gemstones seem to be this amazing coping mechanism that will fix everything right away. I know that's how I saw them, especially when I was having financial difficulties. Any stone or crystal that had anything to do with abundance or finances was in my pocket, in my bra (don't judge), or constantly in my hand. Now we know crystals and gemstones have their own vibration and we align ourselves with that vibration using the crystal and/or gemstone. Did you see that? We align ourselves with that vibration. Yes. I just did that and I meant it and it's true. Gemstones and crystals serve as a temporary crutch to teach us how to align our vibrational energy with what we are trying to call to us. They serve as an eye opener to the possibilities and a reminder of what we're trying to accomplish.

Now who has heard of the Law of Attraction? What?! How does that work? Well, in a nutshell it says that anything we put out we get back at one point or another, particularly the things we focus on. So let's go back to my example in trying to fix my financial situation. I focused throughout the day on calling abundance to me. I improved my relationship with money. I saved instead of spending. I visualized all the bills as checks. I did everything I was supposed to do according to The Secret and in accordance with the Law of Attraction... except letting go. I didn't release it. I didn't stop focusing on needing the LoA to call to me that which I felt I was lacking. It wasn't until I just forgot one day that I realized what I was was doing to myself. I put my gemstones and crystals away on the shelf I'd made for them. I love them, but I'm not ruled by them.

Please don't get caught in this idea that they will save you. They will not. You have to make the decisions and choices to save yourself. You have to put in the mental work. You have to change your way of thinking and align your energy to what you want. You have to find energy tools that work for you including meditation, rest, grounding, and some kind of energy shield (I use emitting). Keep the gemstones and crystals and pay attention to those that you're drawn to. That is how we know what to focus on, but please keep realistic expectations and make sure you're doing the work yourself.

Love and light;
~A

New Services!

Can I just take a moment to be super excited and firmly seat myself in this vibration of joy and love and gratitude?!

I have so many amazing things to be grateful for and it seems like the more I've tapped into my gifts, the more I've been able to help people, and the happier I am (even when things are terrible).

Over the last year, I've been striving to build The Bridge Centers into something that can really reach out and help empaths all over the world. I have been so encouraged by the notes of love and thanks from all the blog readers, I cannot properly explain it, but I hope you feel it.

I'm so happy to announce that I have completed an ordainment. I am now an Ordained Spiritual Counselor! Can you believe it?! I've seen so many people through readings and expos and happy happenstance, but I have been pushed and pushed to complete this and really spread my wings. This is what happens when you allow spirit to guide you (and sometimes shove you).

I sincerely hope everyone out there who reads this blog feels the joy and spiritual connection I feel right now, and more so. I wish you all the joy and love in the world. Keep shining. Keep looking for signs. Never, ever give up.

Love you all!
~A

New and Exciting Things!

Hey everyone!
I wanted to say thank you again for reading and supporting the blog. Whenever I'm feeling low, your words always lift me up. Thank you. I'm deeply honored by every single one of you.

I haven't posted for a long time because I've been caught up in so many empath related projects. I'm writing a book on empath empowerment, attending local expos, helping empaths all over the world (which is such a huge honor for me), and holding local workshops. I'm trying to find a plausible way to conduct web based, live streaming, workshops for all.

We now have a website! www.TheBridgeCenters.com
You'll find information and a calendar of events. When I get the live streaming sorted, I'll add those dates to the site as well.
We also have a Facebook group and page to help build the empath community. It's truly a judgment free zone and all perspectives and paths have been honored there. It's magnificent to see so many people come together like they do there. Just amazing.

I've been able to step outside of my fear and control, which is amazing in itself, and have started offering intuitive readings using all of my gifts. Isn't that awesome? It's like an empath's dream to use these gifts and I would ask that you all please keep supporting me in this journey to unite the empath community and continue to help empower us to use our gifts without fear. Please point people in this direction. Let's grow our community and support system together!

I hope all of you join the group and follow the page and check out the website. I would love the opportunity to work with you and I love feeling your flow of energy. Love every single one of you empaths out there.

In light and love;
~A

Personal Help

Sometimes we all need personalized, one on one help with our gifts. I know I did and I'm eternally grateful to the person who pointed me toward my path. The key here is learning how to control them before they control you! There is so much information out there, but let's face facts here... Not all of that information is good. Not all of it works for everyone. Often, the information that's available is based on that person's path. That hardly seems right or fair to me! 

In the Facebook group, we encourage everyone to look within and to find ways that work for them. This isn't always easy. Sometimes it can feel foreign and like an insurmountable mountain. Well... I want to help! After much consideration, I decided to start taking on clients. What I found was, in a nutshell, my calling! Helping others fills me with incredible joy and peace and light. It makes me so happy when people tell me I've helped them and they feel better. It's incredible. Not just adults either, but teenagers too. I recently had a parent tell me they cannot believe the difference in their son. Here's their son who had previously been filled with anger and unwilling to share with them what he was going through suddenly opening up, calm, peaceful, controlling his gifts. I cannot even begin to explain how wonderful this makes me feel.

If you would like one on one, personalized help with your gifts, please message me for availability and my current rates. I'm highly flexible and I so want to help. Thank you and stay blessed!

Happy New Year!

As we say goodbye to 2013, the year of recalibration (the year of poop/karma), look fondly on all that was, all you've learned, and how strong you've become. This next year will be one of strong connection with the Source and manifestation, so be extra mindful of your thoughts and the energy you're not only putting out, but attracting to yourself. I'm so proud of each of you and how far you've come.


Today is a day full of emotion and many of you may find yourselves crying and seeking solice. I'm right there with you. Take some you time today. Breathe deeply and relax. Let your guard down and shine instead. Touch the earth and feel it pull away your worries and cares. Grounding and shielding is so important on days like today where the whole planet is saying goodbye to a challenging year. Relax, do some yoga, take a salt bath, breathe, and know you are loved. Namaste.

Love and light;
~A

As always, you can find me on Facebook on the Day In The Life of an Empath page as well as in the closed group Empath School. Hope to see you there!

The Victim

You are not a victim. You are not a slave to feeling the emotions of others and being upset by devastation all over the globe. Do you know why you feel it? You feel it to draw your attention to it and tell you how to heal it. You are meant to send healing energy to where you feel it. Did you know that? I mean really know that and completely understand that to the core of your being.

Please, my fellow empaths. I’m reaching out to you here and begging you to understand this and act on it. Stop complaining about how much devastation and emotional pain hurt you. Stop feeling helpless to just feel it. Stop turning yourself off to it. Act on it! Send your healing energy to the people, the animals, the earth, the plants, everything there is. I want every single one of you to stop what you’re doing right now and take 5 deep breaths slowly. Focus on the portion of the globe you want to heal and let your love and light shine!

Too often I see empaths complain about how devastation is affecting them. That just kills me. Imagine how the people going through that would feel if you told them that. So seriously. I love you all. But you there with the victim complex, please pull on your big empath pants and do your job. You’re a light worker. Go to work.

In light and love;

Religion Versus Being An Empath

Recently I saw a question: How do you rectify being an empath with being a Christian. Now those of you that know me know that I am not a fan of organized religion for many reasons. To each their own on that one really, it’s just not for me and not part of my path. But that’s not to say that this isn’t a worthy topic; it very much is. Several religions feel that any “extra” abilities are not from God and go against God. Some even go so far as to believe that it’s all from the Devil or evil. I’m not going to lie, I don’t understand that point of view. I don’t believe in “the Devil” or “hell” per se, I do, however, believe in the evil of man in the human condition that has yet to see or has turned away from the light. That’s the true hell and devil. God made the love, man made the rules to obtain the love. That’s just my two cents; take it or leave it.

Now I could argue this until I’m blue in the face, but really, what would that do? Nothing. I’m not here to change anyone’s mind. I’m not here to tell you what to think. I’m here to teach; to help people find their own divine path. So, I’m going to help you as best I can by asking you a series of questions. The answers are yours, not mine. They are deeply personal. They come from within and are the first thing that pops into your head. Don’t spend too long, don’t debate, and please don’t comment with your personal beliefs. Here, everyone is respected and honored by me and that is how I will keep it.

Is there a God/Universe/Source/some kind of intelligence out there?

Are we a part of that?

Is your soul a piece of that God/Universe/Source/Intelligence?

Is God/Universe/Source/Intelligence benevolent?

Does God/Universe/Source/Intelligence guide us to a divine/light path, but also give us free will to choose whether we take the path or not?

Does God/Universe/Source/Intelligence love us unconditionally?

Is the strongest power ever love?

Is the empathic gift about transmuting and spreading positive, high vibrational energy as well as healing using the love power?

Are the answers firmly rooted in love?

I think you have your answer.

It's All In Your Head

It's all in your head, my friends. You have created your reality before you incarnated into this life and with every single choice you've made in this life. Right now, you are attracting things, people, situations to you with your monitored and unmonitored thoughts. Did you know that? Do you fully understand that? We exist in a world of duality. Day and night, good and bad, happy and sad. Have you noticed all of the dualities in your life? One day you're feeling rich, the next you're feeling dirt poor. One day everything is going well, the next you're angry and frustrated by all the things happening to you. Guess what. Things do not happen "to you" like that! Yes, there are things in this world that happen (villain versus victim), but remember that there were agreements made on the other side of the veil that are meant to be used as a lesson to benefit us, regardless of how we feel about it right now.

Have you even monitored your thoughts for a day in a notebook? If you have, you know what I mean. When you're happy and things are going well, there's always that nagging fear that it'll come at a price or that it can't get better. Stop that! That fear, that worrying about what could happen makes it happen! If you spend a day monitoring your thoughts in a notebook, you will start to see what you're attracting to yourself. You have to ask yourself if what you're attracting is what you really want.

The most supreme power in the Universe is love and it's so much more than the love we know. It's the love we have glimpses of. Unconditional love in its truest sense. This is what spirit is made of. This is what we tap in to when we meditate and listen to our intuition; when we tune in to our inner radio. You have the ability to tap into it at any time by monitoring your thoughts and listening to your intuition. You can use this power to manifest whatever you want! We just have to use it and know that in using it, we are strengthening and spreading positive energy.

So, stop blaming it on other people and take some responsibility. Intend to live a great life. Intend to spread the joy and love of the source. Intend to have a beautiful life and you will.

Relax Into It

Daily I see empaths so tightly wound, they don't and can't understand how they are causing their own woe. You aren't obligated to feel depressed or adrift in a see of energy or have chronic medical problems. It's all a choice. That's right! Before you get upset with me, please hear me out.

While our spirit was still on the other side of the veil, we made contracts and agreements with other spirits as well as The Source (Universe/God/whatever you call it). You agreed to be an empath, you agreed to experience certain things (good or bad), you agreed. That's important to remember. What else is important to remember is that because of free will, we can choose at any time to change the contracts and agreements. We can easily choose not to go down a preset path. Puts an interesting spin on it, doesn't it?!

So why choose to be depressed just because someone else is? Why choose to feel bad or scared or adrift in a sea of energy when none of it belongs to you? Do you know why you feel it? It's so you can HEAL! Without knowing the depth of an other's pain, our inner knowing being of light cannot heal others optimally. How could it? Then we'd just be healing on a best guess. Why heal on a best guess when you can heal on absolute truth?

So to all you beautiful, wonderful beings of light I say to you, relax! Relax into it! It's all going to be okay. It always is and it always will be. Don't get caught up in the details and rules. Those are man made in an effort to control people and keep them in the status quo box (hello ego!); they are not divine. There is no right and wrong when it comes to being an empath in the light. There is only energy and vibration. Choose a path that raises your vibration and brings about the most good; you already know that's what is best for the planet and that's what we're here for. We're here to raise the planet's vibration through healing.

So, the big secret is out! Now you know what it's all about! Let's get back to what I was saying in the beginning. If you don't want to feel depressed or in pain, make a choice not to and then follow that path with intent and action! Walking the path of light and transmuting that lower vibrational energy will make all of the difference.
