Recognizing Spiritual Gifts in the Empathic Person

For the first forty years of my life I was enmeshed with the dogma of a fundamentalist religion and lived according to the interpretation of the Bible that my family, society, and the church passed down to me. I was manifesting the spiritual gifts outlined in I Corinthians 12, but no one in our church seemed to believe in the gifts, much less could they help me develop them.

I’ll quote the New International Version of I Corinthians 12: 1-11 for those who are not familiar with this scripture. There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.

There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men.

Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines.

Empaths have psychic abilities or spiritual gifts referred to as clairsentience (physical or gut feeling or a “knowing”), clairvoyance (seeing visions) or clairaudience (hearing voices). There is really no difference between these three; they are products of intuition or empathy. The only difference is in how the brain decides to process the information.

Empaths and Highly Sensitive People Effected by Movies

Gloria Mitchell’s parents took her to see Bambi at the theater when she was under the age of five years. Bambi's mother was killed in the beginning, which really upset her. For the rest of the movie Gloria kept asking, “Where's the mommy?” I think we all cried during that movie. I know I did and I was an adult watching it with my own kids!

Gloria says the most painful example of empathy in her life concerns her parents. They lost their business a few years ago, and for three years lived in a horrible house and had virtually no social life. There was a palpable sadness—a terrible energy—floating around the house. Gloria visited them every other weekend and no matter how much she tried to go there with a positive attitude, she became depressed or angry within an hour of being around them. When she tried to talk to them about it they would brush it under the rug, but this proverbial elephant in the room only led to arguments. It wasn’t just the house that was affected. This crappy energy was emanating from her parents, mostly her father, so whenever she took them to visit her brother in another state, the negativity poured off them. She always returned home feeling emotionally exhausted and depressed after being with them. The situation improved when her parents moved to a better house and started spending time with their friends. While things are by no means back to “normal” for them, Gloria feels a huge weight lifted from her.

Gloria’s story reminds me to mention that places as well as people can hold energy from those who have lived there previously. If you enter a place and suddenly feel tense, uneasy, gloomy, or even frightened, or if you get physical sensations such as chills, gooseflesh, headache, or dizziness, you are likely picking up energies from what has transpired there. Because places and things absorb energy from the experiences they have “witnessed,” empaths may need extra protection in places like funeral homes, prisons, and crime scenes.

A Basic Overview of the Chakra System

Located alongside the spine, there are multiple wheel-like energy centers or vortices that fan outward from key points in your body into the subtle bodies of your auric field. The chakras receive and transmit energy and information from your environment.

The chakras can affect the energetic, physical, emotional, spiritual and intellectual aspects of a person. There are seven major chakras, each correlating to a different aspect.

The root chakra, located at the base of your spine, is about survival, the ability to earn a living, feeling at home, being present in your body, or accepted in situations.

The sacral chakra, located half way between the root chakra and the navel, is about passion, intimacy, and sexuality. When this chakra is open, you are able to easily express and are comfortable with expressing your passion for life. Empaths who have an over-active sacral chakra tend to be extremely emotional.

The solar plexus chakra, located just above the navel, is about self-expression and self-esteem. It has to do with how passive or aggressive you are, and your ability to make decisions and interact in groups. Negative emotions such as fear frequently lodge here.

The heart chakra, located in the middle of the chest, is about love and relationships. The throat chakra, located in the neck area, is about self-expression and communication.

The third-eye chakra, located in the middle of the forehead near the eyebrows, has to do with insight, thought, and visualization. The crown chakra, located in the crown of the head, is the seat of spirituality and connects us to divine wisdom and intellect.

I recommend Harriette Knight’s book, CHAKRA POWER! How to Fire Up Your Energy Centers to Live a Fuller Life, for more information about how the chakras operate. The aura and chakras can become blocked, unbalanced, and damaged through negative energy, repressed emotions, entities, toxins, drug and alcohol abuse, and traumatic experiences. You can test to see how open or active your chakras are by answering a few questions at http://www.eclecticenergies.com/chakras/chakratest.php. If your chakras need a lift, place your palm on the weak chakra and send pink light to that area. For longstanding depression or anxiety, use this method daily to strengthen any chakra.

Nature always tries to achieve perfect balance. Clearing your aura and chakras will help this natural effort considerably, but if there is extensive damage to the aura or chakras, you may need assistance from a qualified energy worker who can cleanse, balance, heal, and restore them. A list of recommended providers can be found in the resources section near the end of my book for empath: Whose Stuff Is This? ~ Finding Freedom from the Thoughts, Feelings, and Energy of Those Around You. If energy work is out of the question for you, try listening to chakra clearing music.

Tip for Clearing Negative Energy: Bathe in Salt Water

Fill a bathtub with warm water and add one handful of all-natural sea salt (available at health food stores, department stores, etc.). Soak in the bath, making sure that you submerge fully at least once. This not only helps relax the body and draw out toxins, it will remove contaminants from your aura and other energetic fields. If you are not at a place where you can take a tub bath, take a shower and envision all negative energy being cleansed from you.

Babies Absorb Mental and Emotional Energy around Them

Babies don’t filter anything; they simply receive. An empathic child or teenager easily picks up on the emotions, energy, or thoughts of others.

The Latin word for emotion is emovere, which means movement. Suppressing an emotion prevents the natural movement of vital energy. As Karol Truman says in her book by the same title, “feelings buried alive never die.” Denying and resisting what you feel only makes things worse. The repressed emotion is stored in our cells and will demand to be dealt with at a later time.

When a child stuffs his or her feelings, it creates an inward vortex of spiraling emotions that can continue to pull the child downward for years to come. If your child has bouts of depression, notice what triggers are associated with the episodes. Who has he/she been around? What activity is he/she about to embark upon? Is the child getting visual images, having dreams, or sensing something isn’t quite right? This intuitive insight could be a clue to a past life issue that needs to be healed or an indication that he or she is involved in something that is not in alignment with the soul’s higher purpose. You can help redirect the child or teen by listening and offering to help them end their unhealthy relationship or association with a person or organization. And if you see that your energy-sensitive child is showing distress from having the gift of empathy, teach him or her how to do the exercises in Chapter 9 of my book, Whose Stuff Is This? ~ Finding Freedom from the Thoughts, Feelings, and Energy of Those Around You.

Intuitive children and teens know their personal truth. Any distortion of that truth can cause them to feel confused, depressed, unbalanced, or even sick. Childhood depression can be carried into adulthood if it is not dealt with when it first appears. When I was a teenager, I felt depressed every weekend. Without fail sometime near dusk each Saturday night, I would feel a sense of foreboding sadness that I could not explain. I simply learned to live with it until I learned how to manage emotional energy.

Aura or Body Shield

Around your physical body, there is a magnetic shield of energy known as your aura. Its purpose is to provide protection and gather energy and information as you interface with your environment. In grade school, we had to be reminded to keep our hands to ourselves! The same is true with the energy field surrounding our body. Ideally, it should be kept two to three feet from the body, but many untrained empaths unknowingly allow their aura to extend and blend with the energy fields of others who have lax boundaries around their auras. We can tap into the thoughts and emotional impulses of someone across the world. An energy worker told me about a client whose auric field extended for about four city blocks! The client was an emotional mess. Anxiety attacks, illnesses, negativity, fear, dread, anger—you name it, she felt it. She worked with the client to clear her field and bring her aura in closer to her body. When her aura was still extended about one block, the client said she felt like she was smothering.
It is important to clear your aura before bringing it in closer to your body. Click this link for an audio with background music to help you do this: http://weare1inspirit.com/MP3/GroundingCentering1&2PublicUse.mp3

Begin by visualizing divine white light surrounding your body and aura. This light is clearing and balancing all aspects of your being. Next establish a grounding cord of any color you choose. Let a shower of golden sunlight flow in your aura for five minutes while you meditate or rest.

Next, close your eyes and try to determine where your energy field (aura) ends. Then, visualize yourself drawing it in closer to your body. Note any sensations or changes you feel. Continue to draw your auric field in, closer and closer. Continue until you sense it is between two and three feet from your body. If you have to stop because you feel uncomfortable, clear your field with the shower of golden sunlight again and repeat the clearing and drawing in process later that day or try again the next day. Continue these sessions until you achieve the ideal range. This exercise can make a huge difference in how much energy you pick up. The less you pick up, the less you have to clear later.

Setting Boundaries

If someone was trying to break into your house, you would probably call the police, run for your life, grab a weapon, scream, or something! You wouldn’t just stand there and allow the intruder to barge in. Yet, we allow the energy of others to invade our personal space, whether it be in our mind, emotions, or physical body. By not stopping this intrusion, you give away your personal energy. We all have the ability to create our own energy without stealing someone else’s energy or becoming entangled in a situation that is none of our business. This requires diligent development of our spiritual practice to raise our vibration, and setting boundaries with those who would siphon our energy.

In the previous chapter, we talked about clearing your aura and learned to visualize a radiant, light-filled field of energy around your physical body. Now we will discover how to protect it from invasion. This egg-shaped shield should be about two to three feet from your body. It needs to be flexible and thin enough to let in what serves you, yet thick enough to keep out what doesn't. When the layers of your body shield are thin or have holes in them, you are more easily influenced by environmental stimuli and negativity. Anyone who has a healthy self-esteem and maintains strong boundaries with others will most likely have a thicker, stronger aura than someone who is fearful, anxious, shy, stressed, jealous, hateful, or holding on to any other negative thought or feeling.

Auras are created from heat and vibration. Similar to how your body raises its temperature while fighting infection, a physical illness can cause a temporary color change or increase in aura size. Containing various colors, each conveying a different meaning, the aura is like a mood ring that changes colors with your physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual state, as well as by the energies of those around you. If you are unhealthy, there may be shadows, grey, or black areas in your aura or it may appear murky rather than clear and transparent.

Are You A Blue Ray? You’ve heard of Indigo and Crystal Children, but what about the ones who came before them?

Are You A Blue Ray? You’ve heard of Indigo and Crystal Children, but what about the ones who came before them?

Are You From the Blue Ray? Star Beings & Walk-ins The Lost Ray of the LightWorker

The Blue Ray Beings are an ultra sensitive empathic soul group like the Indigos that came from many different ascended planets and light realms to enlighten the genetic code of humanity and raise the God consciousness on Gaia. They are the lost ray of the Light Worker.

“Shekinah”, a Hebrew word in the “Language of Light”, is a mentor of the Blue Ray. Shekinah is the lost aspect of the sacred Divine Feminine of Creation that is the embodiment of God, the ascension process. Blue Ray is the soul group consciousness of the highest aspect of all Blue Rays. Together we give you these transmissions.

Attention: If you would like to add this information to your page, website or other, you are welcome to do so as it helps other lightworkers, but please put in the proper author credit and my website link, thank you!!!

As a Blue Ray Being, you came to transform the damaged, mutated DNA of humanity, and set the stage for the other rays to come. You were not recognized for your unique divine light and had to recognize yourselves. It was tricky spiritual business as you were super sensitive beings, though you had the spiritual power tools to be victories in your mission.

For the last 100 years the Indigos, Rainbows, Crystals and you, the Blue Rays, have been incarnating to create a vibrational shift to the higher dimensions. You the Blue Ray Beings are the overlooked and forgotten ones, and have been essential in clearing and setting the stage for humanities ascension. Because of you, Blue Ray Beings, earth will be able to take her rightful place in the galactic and universal councils of oneness and peace.

Music and Sound

Take your focus away from earth-bound thought patterns by surrounding yourself with music or getting into nature. Sound is the vibration of life. Flow with it. Give yourself permission to sing along, relax, take a nap, dance, walk, or whatever you feel led to do. Shaking a rattle, beating a drum, playing an instrument, chiming a Tibetan bowl, or making a gentle or repetitive sound can also help you clear your chakras, aura, and body.

See http://weare1inspirit.com/store/product-category/meditation-mp3s/ for MP3s to help you focus on the light within you.

Clearing Your Energy Field

Some highly-sensitive people silently show empathy and compassion by soaking up other peoples' negative energy. We naturally want to restore balance and heal people wherever we go, but the trouble is we don’t realize that taking negative energy from other folks will eventually make us sick or get us into trouble, as you’ve read in my personal account on this blog and in my book, Whose Stuff Is This? ~ Finding Freedom from the Thoughts, Feelings, and Energy of Those Around You. Energy from others first engages with the energetic layers or subtle bodies that create the interconnected electromagnetic field of energy (auric field) around our physical body. Information in this auric field is received by the chakras and sent to the brain for processing and sending messages to the areas of the body that correlate with that type of information. Therefore, clearing your energy field is the place to begin working when you decide you’ve had enough of taking on everyone else’s stuff.

There are many easy and effective ways to control and eliminate detrimental energy and entities that may have entered your field during your workday. If you are employed at a retail store where you encounter customers, or in a hospital or clinic where you tend to those who are sick or dying, you are likely to be affected. Several times, my husband has brought home the ghost of a patient who passed during his shift at the hospital. Let’s not even go into the yucky stuff our police force, emergency response teams, victims of violent crimes, and detectives pick up!

Clearing is an ongoing process and must be done regularly to stay free of other people's energy. When you first put defense mechanisms in place, you may still get overwhelmed in a crowd or when there is emotional turmoil around you, but the discomfort will lessen as you continue to develop your intuition. I tried several techniques to help cut down the amount of energy I let into my field. I started with some very basic ones, which worked quite well, so I continued using them. These are in my book.

There are many things you can do at home to clear your energy field. Depending upon how much stuff you have in your field and how long it has been there and how fast you want to get rid of it, you may want to consider receiving some type of energy work from an energy worker or natural health practitioner. There are a wide variety of modalities to choose from: Reiki, sound healing therapy, healing touch, transference healing, hypnotherapy, vibrational therapy, bio-energetic therapy, and many others. See the resources section on this blog and in the back of my book for a list of providers that I trust.

Centering Your Energy

Being spiritually centered means living aligned with Spirit/Source instead of fear-based ego. By viewing life through spiritual eyes, you can see the bigger picture and feel peaceful while seeing all the possibilities that exist in a situation. When I am centered, I feel present in my body, expansive, one with Source and everything that exists. I am able to be present in my body and allow my emotions to surface so I may process them (non-resistant). I am able to tune out unwanted external noise and tune in to the gentle inner voice of intuition that helps me make better decisions.

I have included the centering exercise in the grounding exercise because they go hand in hand. One needs to be done with the other for maximum effect. Listen to the MP3 version of an exercise to ground and center your energy.

Breathe to Relax and Clear Energy

Breathing is necessary to sustain life. When we are tense or stressed we tend to hold our breath, but this only makes things worse. Conscious and focused breathing can release pent up negative energy. Five minutes of deep breaths while counting your inhalations and your exhalations can help restore a sense of calmness and regulate the heartbeat. Controlling and counting the breaths develops the concentration and focus needed to manage mental noise. Do this while sitting in a comfortable position with your spine straight.
The Book of Storms by Jadoa Alexander teaches empathic breathing, in which the breath begins by inhaling slowly through your nostrils, filling your lungs from the bottom up. When your lungs are full without straining, hold your breath to the count of four. Exhale slowly by blowing out a long silent whistle. Empty your lungs as much as you can without straining, then hold to the count of four. This cycle is considered one breath. Repeat up to ten times, relaxing and breathing normally between breaths if you need to. The goal is to build up to three sets of ten breaths, but whatever number you are able to do without feeling uncomfortable will start to work for you.

Whenever I do a breathing exercise, I sense myself moving through different states of consciousness, which really helps to quiet my mind and turn down the mental chatter in my head. If things are coming up for healing and I really sense a need for deeper clearing of old or stuck energy, I will use the breathing technique that invokes the Divine Mother energy. This is known as Liberation Breathing® as taught by Sondra Ray. See the rebirthing exercise in this chapter or visit http://sondraray.com.

By taking in more life force through the breath, limiting thoughts and memories that cause problems and disease are released. This conscious, connected breathing process produces extraordinary healing results.

If You Are an Empath, You May Also Be a Walk-in

Many people are super sensitive to energy because their soul originally hails from a higher dimension or realm of consciousness. Adjusting to the negativity of Earth life can be challenging for these empathic souls. During this time of ascension, our future, past, and fragmented selves are coming together in wholeness to create a unified expression of the soul. Shadow and light are being integrated. We are becoming one in love and light. Learn about future selves now . . .


If you have had a really strange spiritual experience and can’t even begin to explain what might have caused it or why it happened, it is possible that you are what is known as a walk-in soul.  Learn more about walk-ins in this audio. Yvonne Perry will have a new book on this topic in May. Read about her walk-in book here.

Regardless of what happened, you will find comfort and information to help make sense of your experience at the conference mentioned below.

WE International, also known as Walk-ins for Evolution, was led by its founder, Liz Nelson, in the 1990s. After Liz passed from her body, the organization was kept alive by Ranoli for almost a decade. Under the direction of its new president, Yvonne Perry, WE is arising from the ashes with an in-person gathering this Spring.

Beginning with a Friday night fellowship on May 17, 2013, “Walk-ins Among Us ~ Open Your Personal Portal to Cosmic Awareness” will be held at the beautiful Hyatt Place Hotel (Airport) on Royal Parkway in Nashville, Tennessee.

On Saturday, May 18, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., the speakers below will offer insight about integrating higher cosmic frequencies that come as a result of a soul exchange or soul merge/braid (also known as a walk-in). You will also have free time to fellowship with other walk-ins in attendance.

Walk-ins Among Us 
May 17-18, 2013 

Hyatt Place Hotel, Nashville, TN 37214  
Reserve your space at the in-person conference now! 
(Virtual seats will soon be available)

Walk-ins arrive at each evolutionary step in advance of the masses, adding clarity and stability while leaving a clearly marked pathway as they move forward in service to humanity. As they refine their own personal journey, they become the model for others to follow.

These “way-showers” embark upon rugged terrain, determine what needs to be done to safely create necessary changes, and then assist others in integrating the vibrational shift. Rediscover your purpose as a walk-in on Earth. Learn more about this training and activation conference for walk-ins, starseeds, and indigos. http://walkinsamongus.org

Are Demons Real?

Much confusion surrounds the topic of demons and whether or not they are real, but what I experienced when I held this fear-based mindset definitely had an impact on my physical and emotional well-being. Empaths are extremely sensitive to any kind of energy—even that of their own thoughts and beliefs.Whatever we think about increases.

An entity is anything that feeds off your energy or emotions. It can be a thought form, an energy pattern, or a soul tie (a hook to or an attachment from one or more persons), or an earthbound spirit is a soul that is no longer in a human body. Whatever beliefs, emotions, or knowledge we have when we leave the body is carried with the soul into the afterlife. Many times when a soul leaves the body abruptly, it is confused and may not cross over to the other side or go into the light. These spirits are between incarnations and are able to feed off the energy of humans.

I don’t believe a body can be possessed by more than one soul at a time, but we can be influenced positively or negatively by disembodied souls that attach to our electromagnetic field. I don’t intend to make anyone afraid—you are more powerful than any earthbound spirit and they have to adhere to any boundary you set with them—but if you are an empath, there is a good chance you see, hear, or sense ghosts, or have already experienced some evidence that they exist.

Obviously, we are connected to one another or we would not be able to tap into each another’s energy like we do. Incarnated or disembodied, we are all interconnected in ways that we may or may not have acknowledged or understood. I talk more about this in chapter 10 in my book, Whose Stuff Is This? ~ Finding Freedom from the Thoughts, Feelings, and Energy of Those Around You, under the subheading “Setting Boundaries with Entities.”

Our lesson here is that whatever we think about comes about. The universe will allow us to feel or experience whatever we validate as truth. The great news is that all entities (real or imagined) can be removed with better understanding. Doing the clearing and cleansing practices mentioned in Chapter 9 of my book will help immensely.

Open Your Personal Portal to Cosmic Awareness

Have you had a strange experience and afterward felt like you were another person in your same body?

Are you having unusual body sensations that can’t be defined (or diagnosed) in medical terms?

Have you been receiving downloads that seem to have activated psychic or spiritual gifts?

Do you feel as though you have been visited by your higher or future self?

Have you found yourself speaking in a mysterious unknown language?

These are signs, which indicate that you are ascending in consciousness and accessing and/or merging with more evolved aspects of your soul. Your DNA is shifting to hold a higher octave of vibration within your physical body and this is building your light body. Would you like to learn more about what is happening and why? Would you like to share your experience with others who are going through this phenomenon?

Open Your Personal Portal to Cosmic Awareness

Beginning with a Friday night fellowship on May 17, 2013, “Walk-ins Among Us ~ Open Your Personal Portal to Cosmic Awareness” will be held at the beautiful Hyatt Place Hotel (Airport) on Royal Parkway in Nashville, Tennessee.

On Saturday, May 18, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., the speakers below will offer insight about integrating higher cosmic frequencies that come as a result of a soul exchange or soul merge/braid (also known as a walk-in). You will also have free time to fellowship with other walk-ins in attendance.

This conference coincides with the release of Yvonne Perry’s new book, Walk-ins Among Us ~ Open Your Personal Portal to Cosmic Awareness.  

As our planetary system travels around the Milky Way Galaxy, the Earth aligns with other cosmic bodies that affect the magnetic pull on our planet. Within that evolutionary continuum, some humans experience a sudden transformation that awakens spiritual gifts and psychic abilities. In our current time of ascension, people are experiencing visitations, cohabitations, and even trading places with more evolved aspects of their soul in various dimensions. This embodiment of higher consciousness brings pathfinders, way-showers, lightworkers, and healers to our planet to help anchor the new paradigm of oneness and unity associated with the Divine Mother.  

Those who have experienced a life-transforming event will find help and comfort in this eye-opening book. Walk-ins Among Us is written by a walk-in to help others understand the soul exchange process and how to integrate higher vibrations that clear energy imprints not aligned with love, light, and joy. Through cosmic encoded activations, readers may receive downloads and learn how to stay centered and actively involved in their own ascension process as they discover their mission, purpose, and role on Earth.

Empathy

Nervous vibe around the heart
That holds up castle walls
and keep you
Lonely, seeking
Retreating, reaching
Like a weight on the chest
Holding back all the rest
The lid to keep love safe inside

No!
Open the doors and let love fly
A safety net is in place this time
To keep you from going
where you’ve already been
and want to not be anymore
Because it hurts
to have the gift
you hate to love
the curse
you love to hate

You feel too much
You know, you see
Like a sponge, soaking up sea water
You thrive in what drowns you
And close off to what frees you

A Book to Help You Curb Emotional Trauma

In my book, Whose Stuff Is This? ~ Finding Freedom from the Thoughts, Feelings, and Energy of Those Around You, I share my background to show how out of balance my life once was due to being an empath. My personal experience shows some unusual ways empathy operated in my life as an intercessor prayer “warrior” (invasive to the free will of another person).

These days, if I pray for anyone, I do not allow myself to become emotionally involved. I no longer assume to know the plan for another person’s soul. I refuse to usurp the free will of others as I did many times in my religious prayer efforts when I was trying to save the world. Instead, I send people divine love and light—a beneficial energy they can use however they need to. Since I am directing a higher energy rather than sending out my own energy, I am not taking on the detrimental energy my prayer recipients release from their blocked chakras, auras, or body cells. I am detached from the recipient’s energy.

Regardless of whether you consider yourself a spiritual or religious person, I’m certain you will find application and see how empathy fatigue may be operating in your life. My goal is to help you avoid the trauma I experienced and to teach you how to stay healthy in your own body, mind, and emotions. While I cared for people through prayer, you may care for them physically through your work as a nurse, hospice volunteer, medical professional, or some other service-oriented occupation.

When Do Empaths Most Often Pick Up Energy?

Empaths can pick up other peoples’ emotions when least expected. For example, if someone at work had an argument on the way to work, and then walks over to you and starts a conversation, you might feel the energy of his residual anger. This can be very confusing if you are not aware of his previous phone call. You may actually feel angry and think it is your stuff.

If you suddenly feel angry for no reason or start complaining about something that you care virtually nothing about, you have probably picked up on the emotions of someone around you. This type of “mirroring,” which seems to be more prevalent when we are exhausted or stressed out, can cause an empathic person to behave in an irrational manner. Some have even been misdiagnosed as having bipolar disorder.

In my book, Whose Stuff Is This? ~ Finding Freedom from the Thoughts, Feelings, and Energy of Those Around You, I gave excerpts from interviews I did with empaths. You will find a wide variety of situations in which folks have found themselves as a result of this intuitive gift. Some of these people have just realized they are empaths; others are veteran empaths who are using this intuitive gift as part of their healing practice.

Empathic abilities can be both a gift and a curse. One person I interviewed said that it has both saved his life and broken his heart. “I thought I was an agoraphobic for the longest because when I was around a lot of people I felt overwhelmed,” said Jonathan. “I thought it was anxiety, but then I began to be able to tell when someone was lying to me. It can hurt to know someone you love is lying to you.”

Smudging

I’ve been using a Native American tradition called smudging for many years. The technique is very simple and can be used to clear a person, animal, or space. You will need a match or lighter, a small bundle of herbs or a handful of loose leaves such as sage, rosemary, thyme, or cedar; and a bowl or saucer to catch any ashes. Herb bundles are available at herb stores, metaphysical shops, and online markets. I purchased some excellent white sage on Amazon.com.

Place the herbs in a bowl and light the leaves or bundle. Allow the flame to extinguish on its own, or blow it out after about fifteen seconds. Be aware that a glass or metal container will get hot even though the herbs are smoldering and not afire. A pottery mug with a handle works quite well for this purpose. Then use your hand or a feather wand to fan the smoke around the subject you want to clear. Begin with the top of the head and move to the feet, directing the smoke to cover the entire body of the person or animal. If you are clearing a room, direct the smoke into all corners, toward the ceiling, and the floor as you walk around your house or apartment in a counter-clockwise fashion. You may feel a sudden shift as an entity is expelled into the smoke. You can say a prayer to further your intent to remove any stagnant or unhealthy energy.

Setting Boundaries Around Your Auric Field

Because thoughts are energy, your intention plays a powerful role in all your efforts. The best way to strengthen your personal energy field is to use your thoughts to visualize your aura having a rubber-like quality that causes negativity to bounce off without penetrating. You can consciously change or inject different colors into your aura as needed. Here is a mini guide on using color to strengthen your aura.
Purple: indicates spiritual thoughts.

Blue: balancing, relaxing the nervous system, peace of mind. Can also assist with teaching or presenting information due to its connection with the fifth chakra (communication).

Turquoise: highly energizing, capable of influencing other people, great for multitasking and bringing organization to chaos or scattered thoughts.

Green: restful, peaceful, calming energy, healing. Seen in the aura of those who love gardening.

Yellow: joy, freedom, non-attachment, contentment, releasing, generosity. A yellow halo around the head indicates high spiritual development.

Orange: uplifting, absorbing, inspiring. A sign of power or the ability and/or desire to control someone or a situation.

Red: a predominantly red aura indicates a materialistically-oriented person or one who is concerned about appearances or the physical body.

Pink: spiritual love, a perfect balance between spiritual awareness and material existence. A great color to add to your aura at any time.

White: this color means purity to me but some cultures say it represents death. Your thought and intent is more powerful than what others say or believe.

Experiment with colors and see how they make you feel. The color of clothes you wear can affect your aura. Bright colors enhance your energy and send a silent message. Dull-colored clothes absorb energy and may make you tired quicker.

If you are extremely sensitive, you may need all the colors of a rainbow surrounding you. Visualize a layer of red around your body, then a layer of orange surrounding you, then yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, and finally a thick layer of white light surrounding all the layers.

We Are One in Spirit Newsletter March 2013

A Conference for Spiritually-Transforming Experiences

Back in my days as a church pianist, we sang a song titled “Leave a Well in the Valley.” The chorus says: “Leave a well in the valley—your dark and lonesome valley. Others have to walk that valley, too. What a blessing when they find the well of JOY you’ve left behind. Leave a well in the valley you go through."

 

That song has been on my mind a lot lately. It's good to know that the ordeals we have gone through are now being used to help others on their path. It makes the suffering we "path cutters" have gone through worthwhile!

I remember being called a “trailblazer” in a prophecy given to me by Mickey Robinson in the late 1990s. Although I have always been ahead of the pack when it comes to spiritual phenomena, this prophecy makes more sense to me now than it did back then.

If you’ve been led to read this, you are likely one of these pathfinders, who has embarked upon rugged terrain and managed to safely navigate and create the necessary changes for phenomenal spiritual growth in your life. Now, you have a desire to assist others in integrating a vibrational shift in consciousness.

Like me, you are personally aware of the subtle nudges you are receiving. Much like dolphins that receive and send signals to one another, we transmit our unique signal that activates the information encoded in our cells. When we connect with another, we share our piece of the cosmic puzzle, expand our experience, and we are all changed.

There is both “knowing” and excitement that what we are experiencing has never existed before. Would you be willing to explore the possibility that we can change our reality and our world when we come together in intentional collaboration and dialog?

If so, join other beloved lightworkers, indigos, starseeds, and walk-in souls at Walk-ins Among Us Nashville Conference to take your next quantum leap and open your personal portal to cosmic awareness. At the conference, you will have a chance to discuss your exciting spiritual experiences with the participants and the panelists at the event.

Can Aspects of Your Higher Self Visit or Merge with You?

More and more people are being visited by their highly-evolved future selves. These non-physical light beings may be an aspect of your multidimensional soul, which is living in some other star or planetary system. These visitors could be angels or members of your galactic family.

In this time of ascension, we are experiencing the coming together or reuniting of various personalities of our god self. Some of these personalities live on Earth in what seems to be past lives, but some are future selves that reside in other dimensions, having other realities. There is no time or space—except on earth—just dimensions, which are best described as vibrational levels of consciousness. Souls have the ability to visit other planes of reality; we do this many times when we dream or travel astrally.

Recently, I spoke with a woman who six years ago experienced a temporary merge with one of her future selves. This advanced being was able to read the thoughts of other people and knew exactly what they were thinking. She heard voices and could pose a question to this guidance and get a precise and immediate answer, which could then be verified. This aspect of higher being spoke through her as if reading the mail of another person. Many times it said things that amazed the woman, who by the way was experiencing a continual state of bliss. Suddenly, after two weeks, the higher being was gone and things were back to normal, which meant the woman no longer had these abilities or the blissful feelings. She felt let down and had grieved ever since. I can relate!

I had a similar experience in August of 2011. I was in an ecstatic state and smelled a heavenly fragrance around me 24/7 for twelve days. It was like I was floating on a cloud. Nothing bothered me; I had no fear or worry. Then, poof! It was gone and I felt alone and forsaken. When I realized this blissful state was not coming back, I actually felt angry! Instead of being grateful for what I had experienced, I was living in the past and felt depressed. Living anywhere but in the now prevents us from having joy. I finally let go of my disappointment by realizing that the gifts, which this higher aspect of my soul brought in, had been integrated into my human experience and that I would begin to see them manifested in this lifetime. It’s been a year and a half. Sure enough, I am beginning to experience longer and more frequent states of bliss like I had during that time of visitation; and, spiritual gifts are opening in amazing ways. My sense of higher guidance is also clearer and more easily understood.

Have you had or are you currently experiencing some unusual abilities like these? Have you discovered some supernatural gifts, skill, or language? Perhaps you gained a strong sense of knowing, noticed intense feelings or hyper-sensitivity, smell heavenly aromas, etc.? If so, when did your experience occur? How long did your experience last? What changed for you after that experience?

Please comment and let me know your story.

Raise Your Vibration

Slower vibrating energies cannot reach you when you vibrate at a faster level than they do. It’s like you become invisible to these energy leeches. Here’s how:

See the light within yourself near your heart center. Visualize that circle of light growing brighter and brighter as it expands to encircle your body. It extends from your body and fills the room you are in. Next, it expands as large as your house. Continue to see this light growing larger to fill your entire neighborhood, city, county, state, continent, and finally the whole Earth and universe. Now see your light joining with the cosmic light of the angels, archangels, Christ and the ascended masters (avatars or perfected beings), and God/Goddess. Allow their light to fill the circle of light surrounding you and raise your vibration. Now, begin to pull this light into your being as the circle of light shrinks to the size of the Earth, your continent, state, county, city, neighborhood, and your room. Bring your light-filled aura closer until it extends only about two and a half feet from your body.

Did you sense the shift? Most empaths do.

Let Go of the Need to Change People

The only person you can change is yourself. If you find that certain people and situations are draining, get away from their influence. Look for new opportunities and relationships with uplifting and positive people that will support and nurture you on your spiritual path. When you focus on cultivating and integrating a peaceful mindset into your life, the universe will guide you to the resources that support your goal of entering into the flow of who you really are. Undoubtedly, your intuition led you to this book. You know how to access your internal guidance.

We have an unseen energy field around us that many far-easterners have known about since ancient times. The fact that most of us can’t see magnetic energy fields or chakras causes some people to believe that these energy centers do not exist. Being able to tap into one another person’s mental and emotional fields is proof that we are connected by some multi-dimensional source. Regardless of our beliefs or background it is easy to see that we are more than just our body—we are spirit beings. Some of you may think that being spiritual means being religious or vice versa, but I can assure you that is not always the case. Looking back in history it is easy to see how our fears have limited our spiritual growth and the evolution of humanity. Many people have formulated their belief system from teachings someone else handed down to them.

Flushing Emotions from their Hiding Places

The goal of ascension is to bring the experience of divine love into our human practice. This is what it means to embody divine master presence. When we start this reprogramming process, whatever is not aligned with love has to go. You may find that the wounds and the pain of the past get stirred up and your ego rises up to defend the ground it has held for years.

The transformation typically doesn’t come over night. Thankfully, the emotions we have held in our limbic system and cells of the body are not flushed out in one fell swoop. That would be overwhelming to say the least! When these emotions are flushed out and the mental chatter is activated it feels like you are going crazy. Part of the process seems like we are stepping on land mines or trip wires in our path. It’s the new triggers along the way that flush these emotional “pigeons” from their hiding places so we can let go of old energy that is not serving our highest and best.

These birds make messes because they are part of a mal-programed ego, which reminds me of a DJ spinning tunes. The DJ can only playback the records of what is in his repertoire. Mal-programed egos replay every painful situation and activate every open wound. The reprogramming process can feel like salt being poured into wounds: it hurts, yet it’s healing.

It is helpful to step outside your situation and view things from the perspective of your higher self. Then, you observe what you feel as you watch yourself from a non-biased perspective. We can become the observer of these thoughts and not re-experience them at an emotional level that reinforces them or causes them to be re-processed through the cells of our bodies. Those cells are already hurting and wounded; they need to be healed. If you feel angry, then you’re angry. Accept that. Tell yourself it is okay to feel angry about the hurt that you encountered regardless of whether the incident occurred years ago or last week. Then, remind the ego that the incident is not real and it does not have power over you. Affirm that you are a divine being who perceives and receives only love. Letting go of the past means staying present in the current moment. Stop replaying the tapes of the past.

Once you have flushed out whatever is hiding in our cells, you can allow divine love to come in. This love is accompanied by new truth about who you are, what you want in life, and what you expect in your relationships. It may mean you need to set boundaries to keep other people with wounded and defensive egos from walking all over you! The temptation to close your heart is always there, but the ability to open it is also there. It’s a matter of choice and we make that choice daily, hourly, minute by minute, thought by thought, emotion by emotion.

Seek others who can help you in this. Don’t hide or isolate; that just allows the pigeons to settle comfortably back in the hole, but you still have to deal with them later if you are to make progress on your spiritual journey. Talk to a coach, counselor, or spiritual friend about what’s going on.
Do you think there’s a possibility that you can open to divine love? Be with that thought and experience it fully. It’s like a balm, an ointment, a salve, to these wounded cells. Allow it to be, to grow, expand, and increase. Soon you will find that moments of bliss will come more and more often and stay longer. The bliss will become more intense over time. Live in this now moment where there are no problems—there’s no past, there’s no future, there’s just the now. There are no wounds in the now moment. There’s nothing that needs to be healed in the now moment. This moment is perfection now. And that is divine love.

Because we can easily lose perspective and think that these pigeons are our real identity, we need help and support from others who are able to understand what is happening and provide calm insight into the situation. As a spiritual coach, I can help by sharing what I have learned about managing emotional energy and clearing it from the cells of your body.

Is Being Empathic a Blessing or A Curse?

Is being a highly-sensitive person a blessing or a curse? It depends upon who you ask and whether or not that person has learned how to manage emotional energy.

Sandy, a mother of two boys, talked about experiencing severe emotional distress (able to feel everyone's emotions simultaneously and very strongly) since she was eight years old, and she said it keeps getting worse. Her grandmother, who was also empathic, died before she could teach Sandy how to manage the gift—actually, Sandy called it a curse that she never wanted. She couldn’t go anywhere or be around people and she hated her life. Her two sons are also empathic and she doesn’t want them to end up miserable. Sandy no longer recognizes her own feelings. This is so common among empaths that I am dedicating an entire chapter to help you determine what your own energy feels like. Sandy also mentioned that the only way she knew to turn off the emotion was to be cold and unloving. This is a temptation to many empathic people, but because we are so loving, it really goes against our grain to treat people unkindly or shut them out of our heart. While we seem to do better living alone, we also have a desire to help others and have close relationships. There is a way to remain open without being unloving—it’s called detachment.
