Writing/Journaling to Help Empaths Get Clear Direction

Janet Conner’s book, Writing Down Your Soul: How to Activate and Listen to the Extraordinary Voice Within, has made an impact upon my journaling because it takes me beyond writing down my daily problems to really connecting with my soul and discovering what Spirit is saying to me on a soul level. I attended a lecture at First Church Unity in Nashville where Janet shared how to use the following seven steps to get into theta brain wave:

1. Set your intention to connect with the voice inside you.
2. Address the voice directly: Dear ______ (fill in the blank with whatever name you want).
3. Write by hand.
4. Activate all five senses. Vision, hearing, and touch are automatic in this process, but include a candle, incense, aroma oil, or flowers for smell and water for taste.
5. Ask open-ended questions as you write.
6. Write fast; don't stop to correct grammar, spelling, or punctuation (very hard for me as an editor). Just let the words flow from spirit to paper without the interference of logic or correctness.
7. Be grateful; say thank you.

By reading her book and applying the lessons in a practice of writing, I learned how to get out of my conscious, stress-filled mind, get in touch with my deep, authentic self, and activate a limitless supply of intelligence, wisdom, and creativity.

Turn a Negative Experience into a Positive Life Lesson

Our attitude and how we think about something determines our experience of it. One person can have an experience and be devastated by it. Another person can have a similar experience and choose to see it as an opportunity from which they can learn. Scientists and physicists are now proving that everything is energy and that energy reacts in relationship to human thought and expectation. Therefore, how we think about a situation determines our reality.

What does this mean in our daily lives? We choose how we want people to treat us by the behaviors we accept in others and by how we expect to be treated.

In our childhood, we set the stage and form our beliefs about how much abundance, intimacy, joy, and pleasure we can expect in our lives. I grew up believing that if people knew who I really was, I wouldn’t be accepted. As a result, I spent many years trying to please people by attempting to be what I thought they expected. I had no idea who I really was, but I felt miserable.

Let’s chat. Think of an experience that you have seen as negative. Perhaps you did (or did not do) something because you allowed someone to influence or limit you. How can you now see that situation in a positive light? What life lesson did you learn? What experience did you gain that helped you stand stronger in your own power? Feel free to share that here now.

Three Choices for Responding When You Are Upset

I realize what a challenge it can be to stay positive in the emotionally-charged world in which we live. It will help if you prepare in advance when you must go into public settings or social gatherings. Surround yourself with love and light, ground your energy, and center yourself before you leave home. When you find yourself in stressful situations, take a break and find a quiet place where you can close your eyes, breathe consciously, let go of the external world, and tap into your true essence. Ask your divine guidance to transmute any detrimental energy into beneficial energy that can bless and help everyone find peace and joy within.

Whenever you feel heavy emotions, take action quickly! Acknowledge and release them before they take over and drag you down. That way, you can be non-resistant and present in every moment as you bring your attention and awareness to each thought, feeling, and activity as it is occurring. When something upsetting is occurring for you, there are three choices you can make:

1) Resist, deny, avoid, or ignore it (not recommended!)
2) Communicate, ask for what you need, and be willing to alter what you can about the situation. If another person involved will not cooperate with your peace-making efforts, cut ties with the offender or remove yourself from the unhealthy environment. Change jobs, relocate, or do whatever you need to bring about a better living/working condition or peace of mind. You do not have to complain, suffer, or play the role of a victim.
3) Accept the situation once you have done all you can to remedy it. This does not mean you are giving up or surrendering to something you abhor. It means you have released all the negative charge surrounding the situation and come to a place of peace that will allow you to remain where you are without suffering, stuffing, or seething. This option is best employed when you are dealing with an uncontrollable situation such as the death of a loved one or the termination of any close relationship.

How to Tell if You Are Ascending


We have just passed 12-12-12, which was a numerically significant date. Anytime we see double or triple digits it can be a sign to us that something noteworthy is occurring. We have also heard some pretty scary things about Dec. 21, 2012. I have absolutely no concern that anything horrible is going to happen to our planet as a result of some galactic event—I believe we will wake up on Dec 22 and realize we have only two days left to finish our holiday shopping. As the eternal optimist, I hold the intention that if anything at all happens, it will be a perceivable and positive shift in how we love ourselves and treat others.

If you are fearful of what might happen on the 21st of December, you will find comfort in this no nonsense astronomical explanation as to why the Earth seems to be unstable and where we are heading as an evolving race of humans.  http://youtu.be/hlfYHAV1i8w

So, with a world in turmoil over all the fear-based energy that has been planted in the collective consciousness by the media and religion, how does anyone know if they are making spiritual progress?

"How do I know I'm ascending?'

I get that question a lot so I decided to answer it on a call with several empaths who had questions of their own. I hope you enjoy this replay and will join us on the next live call. To get information about our upcoming events, be sure you are on our mailing list http://eepurl.com/dkpII.

Phenomenal Resources and Explanations for Managing Spiritual Integration

Award-winning author Yvonne Perry provides a thorough, well-researched resource for those spiritually-awakening people who are also questioning or are confused about the events in their lives. Perry likens the spiritual awakening to an ascension through which people integrate refined or “purer” energies. Each person experiencing this process will find phenomenal resources and explanations for managing their spiritual integration in this book.

Do you need to refine your personal judgments? Are you experiencing the ups and downs of an emotional roller coaster? Do you need support for physical problems? Do you need to know why the events are happening right now? Perry explains with uncanny thoroughness the answers to why and how each one of us might experience our personal version of the planetary and cosmic shifts. I’ve always admired Perry’s ability to explain spiritual events on a personal level and bring it home for the reader. Shifting into Purer Consciousness is one of her best yet.

~ Dr. Caron Goode, author of From Fizzle to Sizzle: 4 Crucial Tools for Relationship Repair, and founder of the Academy for Coaching Parents International

Shifting Into Purer Consciousness (http://ow.ly/bjbxP) is a followup book for Whose Stuff Is This?

The Firefly and the Butterfly

I've spoken many times about empaths and relationships because it's our interaction with others that cause so many highly-sensitive people to pick up detrimental energy. So much of this comes from our attempt to control a situation, manipulate an outcome, or make someone a prisoner of our expectations. Whether the relationship is with a parent being fearful of losing a child, or a lover being unfaithful, or a boss being a micro-manger, no relationship flourishes under these conditions.

Below is a poem I have written to show a contrast between a relationship in a fear-based paradigm and a relationship in a love-based paradigm of balance. Which "fly" is you in a troubling relationship right now?

The Firefly and the Butterfly

A firefly swooped near me
I caught her in my hands
and cupped her tightly so she could not flee
I would peer in upon my captive
just to watch her light up
I clinched my hands tighter
Snuffing out the air she needed
And closing the space around her
so she could not see the beauty of others
Her wings could not unfurl
Her spirit could not soar
Bound by my possessive grip
She had no choice or liberty
Her light faded
She became silent and still

A butterfly landed upon my open palm
His wing was slightly torn
I admired his gentle grace and beauty
but I dared not close my hand
for fear that I would crush his tender heart
and harm him in some way
Intently, I cast my eyes and restoring love upon him
and watched breathlessly to see if he would respond
Sometimes I would close my eyes and feel
the tickle of his wings, the pulse of his heart
or the movement of his tiny feet upon my skin
Soaking in the intense color and vibration
of all the life, freedom, and vitality he offers
I cannot hold him prisoner
while he heals and basks in the warmth of my hand
I realize the choice is not mine
Will he stay or fly away?

Suicide: A Perspective Beyond Time and Space

Adapted from Dr. Judith Orloff’s new book “Emotional Freedom: Liberate Yourself From Negative Emotions and Transform Your Life” (Three Rivers Press, 2011)

The dark night of all dark nights is the hopelessness of wanting to die.

In this state, you can see no promised land beyond depression.

Over the years, several of my patients have attempted suicide. One did die: a heavy metal rocker with a sapphire-blue Mohawk and a sensitive soul. But super-stardom could never allay his depression or persistent back pain for which none of the many specialists he consulted could locate a medical cause. Legions of fans revered him, but he didn’t revere himself. He felt happy and pain-free only on stage, immersed in his music and adulation. When he killed himself, we hadn’t met for many months, but I was deeply saddened. I’d been his safe place for two years; we’d been very close. I did everything I could think of to help him, but he was on a runaway course. Plus, he was surrounded by shark-like managers who urged him to go on tour despite his precarious condition. Intellectually, I realized all this, but still I lamented my inability to save his life. I’ll always miss him. I’ll always recall those days I’d visited him after a previous suicide attempt. He was on a locked psychiatric ward along with others who were psychotic, suicidal, and homicidal. To me, it’s a crime to put someone who’s depressed in with that mix. I wish I could’ve sent him to a peaceful retreat with sunlit porches and hammocks to dream on. But our mental health system isn’t organized like that. All those needing intensive care go to the same hellish ward in traditional hospitals. So I saw him there until he was no longer suicidal. Against my advice he went back on the road too soon. I was greatly afraid for him. Then, four months later, I got the call: he was found dead in his London hotel room after slashing his wrists.

Most suicides are preventable with skilled interventions. I know people--including those on a spiritual path--who at dark times have considered taking their lives. (Suicide is the eleventh leading cause of death among Americans.) If you’ve had these thoughts, they’re nothing to be ashamed of. But I also know that suicide isn’t the answer. Freedom comes when you persist in searching for the light until it’s visible again.
In service to our growth, life asks an extraordinary amount of us. That used to anger me. Some situations seemed unendurable. Watching my ebullient, talented mother waste away from cancer, struggling to find strength to be there for her without disintegrating, I’d inwardly protest, “I can’t do it. I don’t have it in me.” But I did--and had to see that. So must you. Try to keep reaching beyond pain towards a greater power within. My spiritual teacher says, “Heaven is not a dead-end road.” With hope and the proper support, you will find it.

For years I believed suicide was an option we had the right to choose if things got rotten enough. I no longer feel this way except, possibly, with terminal patients in constant physical agony. From deepening my intuition, I came to realize that holding onto suicide as an out separated me from the essence of living. A commitment to staying in my body through it all was mandatory for being fully alive. Thus, to be more present, I’ve vowed to follow the wisdom of whatever life brings.

Weigh this critical point: Leaving your body doesn’t make emotional challenges disappear. The soul’s work continues. What I intuitively sense about its destinations is that who you are here is who you’ll be there too, albeit without the physical form you’re accustomed to identifying with. I don’t mean this punitively. I’m simply saying you’ll eventually have to face your demons. Personally, I’d rather do it now than drag out the ordeal. I prefer to go onto other things. For those who believe in past lives, facing the self is unavoidable. Whether now or in distant eons, you must do it. This is good. This is purifying.

I’ve had an ex-boyfriend and some acquaintances commit suicide when depression became unbearable. Two by overdosing, one with a gun. Though I wasn’t in regular contact with these people at the time they took their lives, I was notified by mutual friends the day each suicide happened. While I was shaken by both these losses and the terrible desperation that must have occasioned them, I was also curious about where these people went and their subsequent state of being. So I tuned in, simultaneously inquisitive and anticipatorily weary about the kinds of pain I’d encounter. What did I find? None of them were in places I’d ever want to be, and each felt utterly lost. Always there was severe confusion, a swirling-through-limbo vertigo that made me nauseous. Where they were at felt like the alarming, abrupt plummeting of an airplane during turbulence--but cube that by the speed of light and picture if it didn’t let up. Still, despite the dire straits they were all clearly in, I also intuited a beneficent force surrounding them, though it didn’t seem as if they recognized it. They felt totally alone. When tuning into the lawyer who’d shot herself in the head, I found her disorientation was so jolting I could barely stay with it. This panicked woman had no idea where she was. Dizzying, disjointed memories of her life were bombarding her at such speed, “overwhelmed” didn’t begin to describe her condition. I suspect it took a while to find her bearings and proceed to a calmer place. From what I could intuit, the violence of her suicide made the transition even more chaotic. Once I got the gist of her experience, I wanted out of that vision so I didn’t risk absorbing such angst.

I share my perceptions with you to offer what I sensed about suicide. As you can see, it may not be a way out of anything, as many depression sufferers envision. Though the pain in question may be temporarily put on the back burner, suicide seems to create another set of problems and a tumultuous journey. Even so, I’m certain that the soul eventually finds clarity and gets all the chances it needs to master emotional obstacles.

My duty as physician and healer is to talk people out of suicide. I can be effective  because I absolutely know there’s hope for everyone and that depression is a distortion. It swallows the light, making misery seem like the only truth. But it is not. You must remember that. If ever suicide starts looking good, stop, regroup, and fight to find hope. Reach out for help. Don’t be seduced by the voice of depression.

The Difference between Feelings and Emotions - Part 2

Hinging upon the article I posted yesterday, I want to add the following thoughts.

Experiencing fear when you are considering your options could mean that you are picking up on the energy of another person—perhaps someone is urging you to make a decision that you really don’t think is best, but you are afraid of the consequences of disappointing them. Being true to your feelings means making the decision that is best for you and your divine path. If someone is trying to persuade you to be disloyal or is trying to lead you astray by making false promises, the above exercise should help you clarify the intentions of another person. Being honest with yourself means feeling what you feel without judging it to be right or wrong. The more honest you are with yourself, the more you will be able to discern truth and lies in others.

Once you get in touch with a feeling, continue to hold that sensation and get used to how it feels in your body. This is your instructive instinct—spiritual guidance or intuition that you can learn to trust and follow. Intuition and feelings do not come from the rational side of your brain; they come from a place of higher knowing that is meant to guide you even if it means taking risks.

I encourage you to do this exercise often because it will put you more in touch with your body, your feelings, and your internal guidance to help you make decisions from a place of higher understanding without emotional baggage. It will give you courage to go for what you really want in life and trust that everything will work out in perfect and divine timing and order.

The Difference between Feelings and Emotions

It is very important for empaths (anyone, really) to be able to distinguish the difference between emotions and feelings. Very simply put, emotions carry energetic signatures of the past and are based in thoughts. Feelings are recognized through the physical body and tell you what is going on for you in the present moment.

Both feelings and emotions can have an effect upon your body and mind. Because they are rooted in some past experience, emotions try to rule your choices by reminding you of consequences and keeping you stuck in your past. Generated by the small self, they are usually triggered by a current dilemma that reminds you of what happened in a similar previous experience. Because they tend to be fear based and can contain other people’s energy, emotions are very unreliable and self-limiting.

Feelings are life force energy flowing through you as they register a response within your physical body. Unlike emotions, feelings are yours and yours alone. They are painstakingly honest as they urge you to take a look at what is transpiring for you in the here and now. They are not based on past regrets/experiences nor are they concerned about the future. Therefore, they may encourage you to give up an old belief pattern or shift into a new way of living or viewing life. Feelings give you options and allow you to be in control of what action to take based upon this energetic information they provide.

Emotions are not real—they can and will lie to you. Feelings are real and always tell you the truth, even though you may not like their message or wish it were different.

Chapter 8 of Whose Stuff is This? gives the following exercise that I believe will help you determine whether you are experiencing an emotion or a feeling. Think about a situation you are currently in. Perhaps you are about to launch into a new business venture, or make a change in residence, or leave/begin a relationship. You probably have at least two choices to make: either go for it or turn away the opportunity—at least for the time being.

Take a deep breath to center your thoughts and become aware of your feelings. Put aside any worry about what will happen in the future, and honestly acknowledge whatever you feel right now. This doesn’t mean you will act upon it—just feel it. As you release the breath, hold the thought that you will accept the opportunity being presented to you.

Now think of the situation again and consider turning away the opportunity. Did you feel an inward shift?

Which consideration made you feel peaceful, happy, or relaxed?

Which consideration made you feel tense, uneasy, or agitated?

Did you hold your breath when considering either thought?

The thought that made you feel relaxed or at ease is your true desire and more than likely the choice you should make.

Sometimes you will get an equal feeling for either option. For example, my husband was “invited” to attend a meeting at work. It was not mandatory and he really didn’t want to go, but there were certain expectations of him to be there. He did the above exercise and noticed that one choice did not generate any more feeling than the other. In cases like this, I suggest that you consider yourself first—I know that’s not easy for empaths who come from a co-dependent society or family. Decide which choice brings you the least amount of personal stress or inconvenience. If my husband were to attend that meeting I just mentioned, it would put him in the afternoon traffic and take him more than an hour to drive twelve miles home. This would cause him to rearrange or cancel his plans to work out and get some much-needed exercise. If your decision does not have a personal stress factor involved, then consider how others would benefit by your participation and go from there.

Make sure that your choices are always aligned with your true feelings/inner guidance and not by your emotions or someone’s neediness.

The Ascension Process is an Opportunity of Great Spiritual Growth

It was with much delight and gratitude that I was reading Yvonne’s new book. It really explains what is going on in the universe, our planet, and with ourselves. The provided information and tools will be very helpful for all readers to heal the mindset of separation and transform unresolved personal issues and emotions. It is important to understand the ascension process which comes after resurrection, but there is no resurrection until something—the EGO—dies. The author understands, that the process might be scary at times, but is a guide through this challenging time. We are following Jesus and other spiritual masters if we embrace that this process is an opportunity of great spiritual growth.

Thanks for explaining the walk-in of LavendarRose, all readers will benefit from her teachings and I highly recommend to honor this information by working with all the valuable prayers, exercises, affirmations, links, quotes, and the wonderful vibration of this masterpiece.

Empaths Staying Centered and Focused During Holiday Gatherings


So, my dear empath, how did things go while being around your family this Thanksgiving? I bet you had plenty of opportunities to be the light, transmute the negativity of those around you, and maintain your boundaries. I sure did.

Whenever I felt tempted to intervene or “correct” a negative energy vibe someone was putting out, I would draw my energy back to my own space and remind myself that I was not responsible for the situations and circumstances that others create. This technique made for the best experience I’ve had as an empath at a family gathering.

Holiday and year-end holiday gatherings are popping up now, which means there are more chances to exercise your empathic gift. During our call this week, I’ll share some tips on how to stay centered and focused in stressful situations.

I know there are probably questions that you have about being an empath or highly sensitive person—even if you’ve read my book, Whose Stuff Is This? ~ Finding Freedom from the Thoughts, Feelings, and Energy of Those around You. So, I want to give you an opportunity to discuss and ask questions about your own personal energy management.


If you would like to participate on calls like this in the future, be sure you are subscribed to this blog or our mailing list.

Call in and Ask Empath Questions

I hope you are having fun spending time with friends and family this week. As I write this, I am at my parent's house in Georgia helping prepare food for about 50 guests as we gather five generations around our family matriarch. My grandmother is 96 years old and we are grateful to have her still with us.

There is so much love and beauty to be thankful for all year around, but especially when we are nearing the close of the year 2012. If you are like me, you have experienced many changes inwardly this year. These indicate a spiritual shift leading us in paths to greater peace and joy. I want to support you on that journey by offering encouragement through sharing information that reminds you that we are all one in spirit.

 Next week, we will resume our interactive calls to discuss empathic sensitivity and spiritual transformation. I will not have a guest on the call. Instead, it will be an intimate open discussion with 45 minutes for you to ask questions about spiritual transformation. I'll send an email with the call-in information early next week, so be sure you are on our mailing list.

Until then, may all your travels be safe and Spirit-filled.

Practical Ways to Support the Spiritual Experience of Transformation

Yvonne Perry is gifted with the spiritual savvy and skills to discuss complex issues such as ascension, walk-in/out experiences, near-death or out-of-body experiences, downloading from higher dimensions and merging with over souls to help people utilize multifaceted information helpful to shift into a higher state. Through integrating new energy life sustaining frequencies of the universe, we are now able to transcend the limits of our physical challenges to embrace our divine multidimensional selves. This higher state of being is happening to those willing to embrace the oneness and interconnected energetic universal life force.

Ms. Perry’s new book, Shifting into Purer Consciousness, helps to demystify ancient mystical concepts and to apply practical ways to support the present day human and spiritual experience of transformation. Through illuminating the journey of the soul at this time of immense change, healing for the planet and our human condition is the possible and hoped for outcome. At this time of great transformation, personal and collective structures and belief systems that no longer support the highest good of humanity will be shed in order to bring in a more valued understanding of the oneness and sacredness of life.

Healing Loss: The Difference Between Grief and Depression

Adapted from Dr. Judith Orloff’s new book “Emotional Freedom: Liberate Yourself From Negative Emotions and Transform Your Life” (Three Rivers Press, 2011)

Depression is an emotion to be consciously transformed; grief is a reaction to loss that can transform you. Loss comes in many forms: the death of loved one, a pet, a job, a relationship. It’s a stripping away of a potent connection, leaving an aching emptiness inside. Despite grief’s agony, try to let it flow rather than attempting to change it or get it over with. Unlike depression’s emotional inertia, grief has an inherent healing trajectory that seeks to resolve itself. Choking grief off inhibits this forward motion and leads to depression. As I can attest, if we don’t shut down, grief can ultimately open the heart.

On January 24, 1982, I learned that my uncle Sidney had been murdered. A stoned teenage punk robbed him, then shot him point blank in the head, right after Sidney handed over the money in his business’s cash register. For over thirty years, Sidney and his brother Jerry had run “I. Orloff and Sons Furniture.” It was started in 1920 by my grandfather in South Philadelphia, an area that had disintegrated into a crime-infested ghetto. Uncle Sidney was a Humphrey Bogart look-alike who got into the role, calling his kids, wife, and me “Schweet-heart.” He was a modest, kind man. Everyone in the neighborhood adored him. When I moved to Philadelphia for medical school, Sidney helped me furnish my tiny one-room brownstone apartment overlooking the art museum. I remember watching him proudly lugging a brand new plaid couch from his store up five flights of stairs, an act of utter devotion. Uncle Sidney’s caring eased my waves of homesickness for California. He’d sometimes just look at me and beam: “My niece, the doctor!” When I later finished medical school at USC, he wrote me, “Your graduation announcement holds a place of honor on my den table. What a pleasure to renew our lives when you arrived with your companion Pipe {my dog} in Philadelphia. Please thank your mother and my brother for raising such a precious human being.” Three years later, my father, pale as I’d never seen him, broke the news: “Sidney has been murdered.” In the next moments of numbing silence, I staggered with disbelief. How could this be? Dear Sidney who’d never wished anyone harm. Why would a complete stranger want to kill him?

My grief at the death of my uncle set off a torrent of feelings in me with a momentum of their own. Shock. Rage. Anxiety. Sadness. Losing someone who loved me so much, and whom I loved so deeply, was unthinkable. It took a while for this brutal reality to sink in. I yearned to talk to Uncle Sidney, hug him, eat dinner at his house. But none of these everyday intimacies that you think will always be there were possible anymore. Even now, over twenty years later, though I’ve accepted Sidney’s death, I still miss him. Some grief you never fully get over. To this day, pangs of grief continue to resonate through me, not as a burden, but as a widening portal into the compassion of what enduring love means. In psychiatrist Elisabeth-Kubler-Ross’s iconic book, On Death and Dying, she presents common stages of grief. Denial: “This can’t be happening!” Anger: “I’m furious about the loss or at everything.” Bargaining: “I promise I’ll be a better person if only you bring him back.” Depression: “I don’t care anymore. Life is too unfair. Why try at all?” Acceptance: “I’m coming to terms with what-is. I’m devastated but I can continue to keep loving.” We each have our own time frame with these stages. Over the year following Sidney’s murder, I experienced every one. Sometimes I wanted to grieve alone. Sometimes I wanted to talk about it. Always I kept looking to the night sky for answers, as I have since childhood. Its spacious splendor offered consolation by embracing me in a oneness that reunites all love and lovers. The stars had Sidney in them: I felt them shimmering through me, bringing niece and uncle in communion again. I’m thankful for the support of family, friends, therapist, and the heavens that cradled me though this anguished period.

Depression can be a healthy stage of grieving, but people can get stuck there. What complicates grief is when it taps into early traumas or losses that contributed to depression. A chronically ill parent; a volatile divorce; death of close relative or friend. Your current grief is compounded by depressions that preceded it. Tip-offs that this is happening include: (1) Grief becomes mired in depression rather than evolving or resolving. (2) Old traumatic memories intrude on the present; you can’t get them out of your mind. In such cases, it’s imperative to obtain psychological assistance so you don’t become lost in the limbo of these feelings. Beyond this, stay aware of ingrained, depression-related negative beliefs that may get reactivated by the current loss. For instance, my brave cousin candidly said about an initial phase of his mourning, “My dad’s death reinforced the fatalistic views I used to have, how you can try and try but something can always be ripped away from you. I stayed angry and depressed a long time until I was ready to open my heart again and be grateful for each day.” I know how easy it is to become cynical or hopeless, particularly after the tragic loss of an innocent. But emotional freedom necessitates fighting not to give up. When you lose irreplaceable relationships, there will be gaping holes in your life. True, some things may never be the same. However, your future holds the promise for other rich bonds with other amazing people. Your dear ones who’ve gone don’t want you to stop loving. During grief, if old beliefs associated with depression surface, be kind to yourself, but seek the help you need to combat hopelessness.

In many patients and friends, I’ve seen grief catalyze an intuitive opening. Coping with death, in particular, tunes you into instinctual knowledge organically tied to the passage. Even if you’ve never considered the possibility of an afterlife before now, that question may become eminently relevant. Loss stimulates a part of you that may long to know. When grieving, notice any intuitions that lend insight. Pay special attention to dreams. After the passing of loved ones, it’s been commonly reported that they appear in dreams to assure us they’re all right. They know how much we worry. What’s striking is that the departed look younger, healthier, happier, no longer sick or in pain. Recently, I had one such dream following the death of Jim, the psychiatrist I described in Chapter 1 who’d been my savior as a teenager. He’d been suffering from cancer for months, which finally claimed him. I was moved that his wife invited me to the memorial service. Afterwards, I dreamed:

I’m in Jim’s home with his family. Jim is there too, but I’m the only one who can see him. He looks like himself, not at all a haunting specter. I ask: “Jim, are you dead?” He just smiles and says, “I don’t really see it that way!”

I awoke smiling too. Dreams about death are often conveyed with the lightness of cosmic humor to allay our worries. Intuitively, they enable us see that despite death’s physical finality, the spirit endures. Knowing this is enormously therapeutic when dealing with grief and in continuing a meaningful life. It may not console the part of you that needs a hug from those you’ve lost, but it’s feedback that they’re fine. We all die with our music in us and keep making it as we move on--an incredibly hopeful certainty. Swami Muktananda said, “The only thing you lose when you die is your fear of death.” We, the grievers, have it much harder. Still, accepting loss as part of life’s cycles eases your struggle with it. Unavoidably, there’s one appointment we all must keep. Once we can accept death, our own and others’, it puts the true nature of things into perspective, lets us savor every moment of our intimacies now. We can also more appropriately revere those who’ve passed without morbidness or trepidation. (In this spirit, some enlightened medical schools instruct students to consider their anatomy class’s cadaver they dissected as a “guiding hand” to remember throughout their careers as healers). Acceptance of loss doesn’t mean we like the idea of this sacrifice. But it does impart equanimity about such letting-go and a hopefulness about the longevity of love throughout time. Love never dies. It’s what animates the light throughout infinity.

When facing loss, try to keep breathing deeply and trust the process as grief transforms itself and you. I picture grieving as riding the tail of a comet on its orbit compared to the downward arc of depression’s stubborn gravity. Meanwhile, addressing old issues related to depression, as well as listening to intuition, enables you to psychologically work through grief and accept loss more easily.

The Great Invocation

“The Great Invocation” written by Alice Bailey is a world prayer, translated into almost seventy languages and dialects. It is an instrument of power to aid the plan of God in finding full expression on Earth. To use it is an act of service to humanity and the Christ. It expresses certain central truths, which all people innately and normally accept. See http://www.lucistrust.org/invocation for details.

From the point of Light within the Mind of God, let Light stream forth into the minds of men. Let Light descend on Earth.

From the point of Love within the Heart of God, let love stream forth into the hearts of men. May Christ return to Earth.

From the center where the Will of God is known, let purpose guide all little wills of men—the purpose which the Masters know and serve.

From the center which we call the race of men, let the plan of Love and Light work out. And may it seal the door where evil dwells.

Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth.

Reconnect with Nature

When my husband and I were taking courses through American Institute of Holistic Theology in 2003, we each chose an elective as part of the curriculum. He chose a course in feng shui and I chose mandala art. This proved to be a perfect combination for us. We used the knowledge gained from these studies to create a mandala garden based upon the Chinese feng shui elements of color, direction, and symbols.
Since then, we have built an altar to the Divine Mother in the center of the garden. There, we perform rituals and offer gifts of fruits, flowers, herbs, vegetables, incense, fire, water, stones, shells, and other items to show our love and appreciation for the beauty of nature and the Divine Mother’s protection and ability to sustain our physical lives. The energy in the garden is so strong that I am immediately made aware of the sacredness of the space and do not enter it without being mindful. This special place has no negative energy. Just being in the space seems to clear my entire aura and refresh my body.

I encourage you to create a space in your yard or garden, on your patio, balcony, or deck where you can be alone in nature and connect with the loving energy of Mother Goddess. If nothing else, stand barefoot in the grass for a few moments. A great book to help you learn how to connect to Mother Gaia is Sex and the Intelligence of the Heart: Nature, Intimacy, and Sexual Energy by Julie McIntyre.

Proving the Techniques to Flow with Ascension Process

While writing my book, Shifting into Purer Consciousness, I started dealing with an emotional storm and had to apply (prove) the techniques I was discovering in my research. I was urged to really start paying attention and calling myself out every time I had a negative thought. If the thought was not something I wanted to manifest, I had to change it immediately and substitute that thought with one that was in line with the mind of Christ. Or, just go into the silence within. Whatever you do, avoid fighting or engaging with these impure thoughts.

In other words, before I could produce this book, I had to get busy cleaning out my own closet and getting rid of my own physical, mental, and emotional garbage.

My body, mind, emotions, finances, relationships, literally everything has been transformed by the writing of this book. Spirit’s healing touch is upon this work and I believe other people who read it may have already begun a purification process. They may already feel the ascension symptoms listed in my book and know that something is crazy different, but they don’t know what’s causing it or what to do about it. I share my story in the book because I want those who are having similar experiences to know that they are not crazy—that everything is okay. Knowledge can go a long way to relieve anxiety and help people flow with the work Spirit is doing.

I want my readers to understand that we’re going into a higher consciousness; I encourage them to hang on during the process. Because we’re in this together and we can help one make this marvelous shift within. Shifting into purer consciousness affects everything in life. How can I help you with managing this transformation?

How Empathy is Used for Good: Tom’s Story

Tom Goode “feels” people's pain, sees and senses the patterns empathically, and does his healing work using these senses. He first discovered he was an empath when he began a sales career and could tell when a person was going to buy and when they were not. He says that empathy is no more or less a gift than being able to play baseball, though clearly some people are better at it than others. Tom says that most people are out of their bodies, so numb to its feelings and so unfamiliar with how they themselves feel that they cannot differentiate their own energy from the energy of others.

Being empathetic is useful to Tom because it allows him to know the truth or falsity in situations and people. As he became more sensitive, a trait that can be cultivated, he began to use empathy to assist others. If you were to call him and ask for facilitation in finding an answer to a problem area in your life, dissolving a pain, or correcting an energetic imbalance, he would “read” your energy and the emotion/thought behind it to assist you in finding your own answers. He says, “It saves you, as a client, much time and money for me to be able to do this by telephone, rather than have you come to an office or other physical location.” Empathy is useful in correcting symptoms of imbalance in animals as well.

Herbal Therapy for Empaths

Teas and herbs have interested me for a long time. I feel that I may have worked with herbs in another lifetime, which has been further extended in this lifetime through my love of gardening. I grow lemon balm, basil, white sage, echinacea, mint, verbena, bee balm, and black-eyed Susan. There are a wide variety of uses for herbs in a spiritual and healing practice from cleansing the body, restoring health, and clearing a space. I won’t go into detail about them in this book; however, I encourage you to seek more information if herbology interests you. See the books listed in the resources section of my book, Whose Stuff Is This? ~ Finding Freedom from the Thoughts, Feelings, and Energy of Those Around You.

What Does It Mean to Have a Pure-Conscious?

And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men. Acts 24:16

The name of my new book is Shifting into Purer Consciousness. So what do I mean by purer consciousness?

You think of the pureness of anything as being untainted or unclouded. It’s very clear, concise, refreshing, uplifting, and healthy. If you think of being conscious, it means to be aware, awake, on guard and not asleep or lazy. If you think of consciousness in this case, it means to guard your thoughts and emotions and make sure they are in alignment with what you want to create a as powerful and divine being.
Philippians 4:8 states: Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Pure thoughts toward other people, yourself, God-Goddess, your business, your products—whatever—when your conscious is clear that creative part of you that attracts situations, people, and things into your life. I’m sure you’re familiar with the law of attraction. Our thoughts begin an activation process to bring something into physical manifestation. The Universe or God is totally impartial (no respecter of persons) and always agrees to help us create whatever we desire—even if that is something negative or harmful. You can see why it is so important to think about what you want to bring about.

Our emotions are the fuel for the thoughts we think and help to bring them to the next step on the manifestation production rack. That’s one reason that shifting into purer consciousness has to begin at the mental and emotional level—what’s going on in our inner world, what we are thinking or believing. Because the majority of our beliefs are subconscious, they are many times very different from our spoken words. The subconscious level is a driving force in our manifestation efforts. That’s why we manifest illnesses, depression, emotional disturbances, and other discomforting things. These can be used to shake us up and help us realize that we are manifesting incongruently. Because our outer world is the reflection of our inner world, when we become more conscious of our thoughts and emotions and begin to correct them, the things in our inner world will also shift positively.

1. Stay centered and grounded. Being centered and grounded helps release stress. As you interact with others, stay connected to your own inner experience; feel your energy flow through your body, let any foreign energy release down your grounding cord, and stay centered in your own light vibration. Fill up with your own energy vibration until there’s no space for others’ problems and pain, but still room for compassion.

2. Be aware of energy boundaries. Our energy doesn’t end where our skin ends. We each have an electromagnetic field around us called the aura. As you own your aura, you create healthy boundaries around your personal space allowing your own energy to flow freely and prevent others’ energy from entering.

3. Tune into the difference between your emotions and other peoples’. Empaths take on other peoples’ emotions as if they were their own. A friend tells you her husband just filed for divorce and your heart aches. Your brother calls you in a panic about money problems and your stomach twists and turns. You attend a funeral and feel overwhelmed with grief. Like musical notes, each emotion has its own vibration unique to each person. Sadness is lighter than apathy; anger vibrates faster than sadness; amusement feels free and healing; joy is light and bright, and enthusiasm takes you even higher up the scale. Get to know your emotions by feeling them and allowing them to flow. With this awareness you will instantly know when you’ve taken on someone else’s sadness, anger or joy; it won’t feel like yours and it won’t feel comfortable. Then all you have to do is let it go, like taking off a scarf that isn’t yours.

4. Say goodbye to codependent behaviors. With big hearts, caretaking and rescuing becomes the norm for empaths. Instead of sensing and feeling another’s plight, use your clear seeing abilities to look at your loved one’s situation. See who they are beyond their problems and pain; see the spiritual being within who is connected to the Source of all life. Know that just as you have your path to walk, they have theirs. Don’t let their victim mask pull you in to taking on their problems. Toss away pity and sympathy, and give the gift of love by shining a light on others’ bigness. Allow your friends and family to grow, heal, and evolve through their own struggles and triumphs. If you feel tempted to jump in, reflect back on your life to see if you are projecting any of your own unhealed wounds. tal reading devices.
