May The Light Source Be With You!

What if you were to uncover a magical power that could allow you to create the life you dream of? This was a force so powerful and expansive that its full potential was beyond the scope of human comprehension. Then you discovered that it constantly surrounded you, even though it could not be seen and you could harness it, tap into it and use it to create your own destiny?

The self-help genre is booming. This tells me one important fact: many people are discontented with their lives and are searching for the secrets of having the perfect relationship, health, or even financial status. I have tried them all—affirmations, visualization, you name it. Via my journey through self-help, I came up with one conclusion: guidebooks for happiness are merely implementations of a dominant universal power, only ways to execute a supreme force.

The transformational dynamism I am speaking of is Source Energy. It is from where we all came, where we are now, and where we will someday return. It is all encompassing and knows no boundaries of time and space. Once I discovered this, I finally understood; Source Energy is my Source; therefore, as an extension of it, I also should have no fears or limitations. I realized that the only fears or limitations in my life were those that I had placed myself. Then came the ultimate question, since Source Energy is all there is, in what form it did I want to incorporate Source Energy into my life?

The most magnificent aspect of Source Energy is that you have the power to harness it and use it at will. However, since Source Energy is all encompassing, it can be a double-edged sword which contains all the beauty and unconditional love of the universe (Light energy), all the sadness and despair (Dark energy), and, of course, every expression of existence in between the two extremes. This energy creates the human experience and our inherent free will gives us the ability to choose the shade with which we color our life!

So how do we invoke this magical light force into our lives? We can start by understanding that our world is more energetic than most of us realize and just because we cannot see something with our physical eyes does not mean it is not so. (Case in point) You can’t see gravity either; you can only see its effect.) You can boil it all down into the wise old adage: we reap what we sow. In this manner we are constantly directing Source Energy (be it Light or Dark) into tangible form through our thoughts, emotions, and, most of all, intentions. We can manifest the life we desire consciously or unconsciously, because our thoughts always transform our energy whether we realize it or not. If we are aware of how this works, then we can begin to purposely change our thought and emotional patterns. Just as positive thoughts (drawing in Light energy) create positive outcomes, negative thoughts and emotions (drawing in Dark energy) manifest negative outcomes— all occurring within the natural course of the energetic current.

Your emotional and intentional state of being aligns with certain types of source energies. For example, Light emotions include love, gratitude, forgiveness, kindness, acceptance, generosity, tolerance, and understanding. The converse emotions include hatred, fear, intolerance, greed, apathy, lust, and envy. Free will allows us the choice of where to align ourselves. This is where the law of attraction comes into play. However, before we can benefit from the law of attraction, we must first work with its core, which is the energy from which we construct the foundation of our existence upon. Harnessing this power is not about semantics, our wording, or affirmations; it is about making continuous conscious choices to align with the lightest polarity of Source Energy possible, a practice which will surely demonstrate that nothing short of miracles will occur!

Feeling Broken?

You are feeling depression, emptiness and sadness due to some current or past life traumatic events? Your spirit may be fragmented. You must retrieve the shards of your soul to feel complete again. This card tells us, as the woman retrieves the pieces of a shattered mirror, that nothing is ever lost or broken beyond repair.

You are the mother of your ideas

I created this card a few years ago, Mother Earth. with the notion that calling all these powerful maternal forces of the universe  would help cultivate my ideas. Today I realize that I am the mother of my own ideas, my own thoughts, my own energy.  Then I began to wonder, am I a good mother? Do I nurture my thoughts, give them love and nourishment to grow? Or do I starve them and maybe even belittle them and make them feel small? The truth is that your thoughts all transform into energy and this energy creates the space you live in. So treat each idea you have, each intention, each thought as if it were your child, to raise with love and encouragement. As you do this, you will see them manifest into beautiful realities, remember you are the mother of your ideas. Its up to you.

Empathy and Weight Gain Part 4

One main quality that is usually overlooked of the person who possesses heightened empathy is their keen sense of sight and sound. Empaths are very sensitive to all things seen and perceived, hidden gestures, tones or inflections of a voice. This also makes them very sensitive to all things of either beauty or those that are not so attractive in the world. When an empath experiences something of exquisite beauty, they feel a calming or a stirring that comes deep from within, something that is reminiscent of their soul’s origin. Being so acutely aware (on a conscious or unconscious level) makes the empath want to create a world where only beauty may exist. As unrealistic as it seems, Empaths do seek a nirvana here on earth and anything less brings on feelings of failure and sadness. Many great song writers, artists and poets are highly empathic and we see this not only in their work but also in their painful lives and sometimes tragic endings. Wanting to live in a world which does not exist is literally painful to the sensitive spirit of the Empath. As we discussed energetic cushioning and comfort food are a way to soothe the pain of living in a world that is harsh when you are so complexly sensitive.

One way to elevate the pain of dealing with the harsh earth plane is for the Empath is by expressing on a creative level. Painting, writing, sculpting, anything that is imaginative will help elevate the pain and quell the need for cushioning or comfort foods which result in weight gain. Even if you feel you have no creative talents, you will find, just the expression of creating will help relieve the strain of living in a world that is (of course) less than perfect. Since Empaths are creative spirits who resonate with beauty on a deep soul level, it is best for them to release this tension by creating beauty. Any of the following activities can assist you in releasing empathic emotions you are taking on.

Sculpting

Arranging flowers

Working with clay

Any tactile activity that creates something

Writing or journaling

Singing or listening to music

Dancing

Whatever creative outlets resonates with the you personally will immediately bring the you back to your origin of beauty and expression Creating beauty of sight and sound is a big part of the highly empathic individual’s soul purpose and when that function is left stagnant energies becomes blocked and these blocks create most of the painful consequences we have discussed here. All the absorbed emotions and sadness need to be released somehow, and creative expression is a wonderful way for the Empath to release them. Empaths are here to heal the planet, but unless their own energy is maintained and kept healthy they will spiral into more unhealthy behaviors in an effort to find relief. The Empath is a natural healer as well, and since Empaths are so connected to using their light energy to heal, allowing their energy to flow smoothly by using their creative gifts gives the Empaths a feeling of contentment and a vitality for life which elevates the need for comfort foods and cushioning their personal energy field.

Empathy and Weight Gain part 3

As we continue our discussion on weight gain, we need to fully understand the nature of the empathic person.

The Empath is a powerful healer and they are naturally always (either knowingly or unknowingly) on the mission of healing those around them. Since empathic persons tend to respond more to what is happening outside of themselves then what is going on inside of them they are always responding to the emotions of others and the collective consciousness as well. Constantly sensing the emotional state of outside influences and responding to induce healing can create stress for the person who is highly empathic. This is an unconscious occurrence and one that cannot be stopped since the Empath was put here on the earth plane to heal. As we discussed more and more highly empathic souls are descending to the earth to help heal the planet and we are beginning to see the side effects this creates when we are not aware of how to manage this wonderfully healing gift.

Constantly on a healing mission, telling the empath not to seek to heal everything around them is like telling a person not to breath, it is simply an impossibility. So we must understand the main mission of the empath is a healing path. Empathy is a gift that must be held with extreme care. It is important that the individual who is undergoing the empathic reactions not become depleted and suffer side effects that will inhibit their healing abilities, causing them to become energetically blocked and bring on undesirable effects such as weight gain.

Why weight gain?

There are two main reasons weight gain is so common among Empaths. The first one is Energetic Cushioning, this occurs when a sensitive unconsciously seeks ways to protect their own energetic field. This is common with the empath because of their strong response to what occurs outside their own energetic field; they unconsciously seek to soften or cushion the effects from the harsh energies that they absorb from outside sources. Adding extra weight gives them the false sense that they are secure in this layer of dense mass that will keep their highly acute energetic field protected. This actually does no good at all and only creates more feelings of unworthiness and failure for the empath which become a vicious cycle of seeking more relief.

Another reason for weight gain within the empathic individual is to seek out relief from the emotional states that can occur when you are acting as a mirror for those around you who are suffering. To continuously absorb external energies which are wounded can create feelings of depression, lethargy and any number of painful effects. Seeking out ways to sooth and quell the pain the empath is taking on for others can result in indulging in comfort foods. These types of foods can work on a psychological level and induce temporary pleasures. Certain foods rekindle memories or sensations from the past (perhaps in childhood) when we felt safe and secure. We unknowingly seek out the feelings these foods give us to sooth the pain of being highly empathic. Also there are other types of comfort foods that affect our mood by increasing the compounds in the brain used to manufacture the neurotransmitters which give us a type of euphoria. This type of relief is only temporary but the weight we put on from the comfort food is permanent, again creating another vicious cycle of seeking out more relief.

Now that we understand the two main reasons Empaths experience weight gain, next we will discuss more proactive and productive ways to combat weight gain and other undesirable effects of the wonderfully healing gift of empathy. In part four we will discuss how to use your sensitivity to enhance the experience of not only those around you, but your own life as well.

Empathy and Weight Gain Part 2

Last time we spoke about empathy and how much of the population is becoming more and more highly sensitive to others. With humanity becoming exceedingly empathic we are now seeing the symptomatic reactions within the population, like weight gain and morbid obesity. Weight issues then also create a domino effect for all other types of diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular issues and cancer. Making our physical bodies sick is a tragic side effect of an unhealthy energy field.

Being highly empathic is a gift and is also a major component that all spiritual healers must possess. At times gifts from God can be complex and hard to recognize, making it seem to be more of a hindrance in our lives instead of the spiritually restorative ability it is meant to be. The problems come about when the highly empathic person is not aware that they have this ability and it then becomes a burden in their own lives. Imagine yourself as a mirror for every person you come in contact with, all their responsibilities, problems and emotional baggage? This could be overwhelming and create a whole assortment of meltdowns in a person who is absorbing someone elses energies and inadvertently taking them on as their own. Without proper understanding of their own gifts, eventually the empathic person can begin to feel as if they are mired in quicksand with weight of the world in on their shoulders.

Once you have come to the understanding that you may be highly empathic (like many others) you will need to take steps to protect yourself and avoid the pitfalls, like mood swings, addictions, or chronic fatigue to name a few. I often find the main symptomatic reaction to being highly empathic in indulging in comfort food and energetic cushioning, bringing on the weight issues we will discuss.

In order to avoid the pitfalls an understanding of what qualities make you empathic is required. Empathic people are not only sensitive to energies, but profoundly reactive to sight and sound. They are natural healers with the acute ability to pick up the most subtle gestures or vocal inflections of others and instantly process them, recognize them and generate a curative reaction. This all happens in an instant, never giving the Empath the time or opportunity to separate what they are in taking from others and their own personal emotional state. Day to day, this creates an energetic build up and a need to soothe the emotive polarities that becomes the responsive state brought on by this capability.

In my next blog post we will discuss why overeating and weight gain can occur when the highly empathic person is unknowingly processing and also struggling with the emotions of not only those around them but the collective of the planet.

Empathy and Weight Gain Part I

As an intuitive advisor people come to me with all different life issues, from relationships, to career path, to health concerns. Last week a new client contacted me with concerns about her weight. As we discussed and analyzed the situation it was evident to me she was a highly empathic. Very often in my practice I find people with strong empathic abilities tend to have weight issues that they just cannot correct with diet and exercise. They are the people who say, “No matter what I do or eat, I still can’t lose the weight!” I often find that Empathic people they tend to unknowingly pack on this excess weight or physical baggage in order to shield their own sensitive energetic field.

In my practice I try to create a thorough program of self-improvement via energetic healing for my clients. Since it is my certainty that our true selves are more metaphysical than physical it makes sense to work on our energetic vitality first. If we heal our true selves, our energetic selves, holistic healing takes place as well.

Highly empathic individuals are arriving on the planet in rapidly growing numbers as we get more into this new age of enlightenment. Empaths are people who are highly sensitive individuals and have the ability to sense and understand the emotions of others; voluntarily or involuntarily, an Empath will immediately tune in to the emotions of someone and subconsciously mirror the other person. This is a form of healing, since they unknowingly make the person in their company feel comforted and less alone. They are not only sensitive to energies of others but are also acutely aware of mannerisms and inflections in others voices that reveal their emotional states. This comes a highly acute sense of sight and sound. Empaths tend to relate more to what is going on around them then what is going on inside them. Always responding to outside energies is what brings on the weight issues as a form of protection and literally a cushion for the constant outside influences that affect the person who is highly empathic.

Read the list below and check how many relate to you in your life.

* Strangers often approach you for assistance (i.e. asking for directions, asking for the correct time, etc.)
* You always seem to befriend or assist the new person (i.e., coworkers, people at social gatherings, etc.)
* Friends and family always come to you with their problems
* Compliments embarrass you or make you feel uncomfortable
* You meditate better with music or you find listening to music very soothing
* People say you have a “friendly face”
* People say you are a good listener
* Have a healing effect on others
* Many times you can just tell what others are thinking

If you answered yes to many of these questions, you may have strong empathic sensitivities. Weight gain is one symptom of a highly empathic person who is unaware of the energetic attacks they are experiencing each day. In my next post I will discuss more about empathy and weight gain and how to combat the energies that could bring on undesirable affect for the highly empathic person.
