Let Your Yes Be Yes and Your No Be No

Say the word “yes” right now to yourself. Yes. That vibration is what we get when we are excited about helping people, or healing, which is what many would say we are born to do. What happens is we get out of balance when we say yes too often or want to help too much.

No is a very powerful tool in setting boundaries. And, who doesn’t want better boundaries? One of the ways to create this magical state is to learn to say “no.” Think of the situations in your life right now where perhaps you’ve been saying yes too much. This may give you a feeling in the pit of your stomach or a feeling in your gut that is asking you to do the opposite. This vibration may cause you to start thinking, “Hmmmm, maybe I should say no.” Maybe spirit or my highest self is asking you to say no for the sake of yourself and everyone else.

If we don’t have respect and boundaries for ourselves as empaths, we’re not going to be much help to others. I encourage you to make a pledge to yourself that you are no longer going to do _____ (whatever your gut is saying you’re doing too much of). For some if may be as simple as refusing to engage someone in a 5-minute conversation—maybe they are asking you for some kind of advice. This is real common, we all have co-workers, loved ones, family, and friends who call upon us because we have healing ability. People are for the most part naturally drawn to empaths. We’re magnetic and people want our energy or input.

It might be as simple as just saying “no” and walking away from a 2- to 5-minute conversation. You know that those 5-minute conversations can attack your nervous system. Many develop chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. These diseases in which are energetic origin and manifest in many empaths as the result of over engagement. When we perpetually over engage, our nervous systems shut down over time. It tries to protect us by shutting the chakras or meridians so we don’t take on too much. It’s attempting to slow us down. It’s important that you listen to your gut and learn to say no.

Empaths in Intimate Relationships

You’ve walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire, wear a cobra snake for a necktie to keep from being hurt. Now, who do you love? Who can you trust?

When an empath or highly sensitive person opens his or her heart to another person (even a stranger) and that person responds with negativity, the emotional impact is keenly felt. When someone we are close to is unkind to us, it’s natural to blame ourselves or try to fix the situation or calm the other person. When we absorb that person’s emotional energy into the cells of our body or the electromagnetic field surrounding our body, these energetic burdens can make us emotionally and physically sick.

We want to open our heart to love but we are afraid of getting hurt again. In order to protect ourselves, we avoid getting too close. Walling off emotionally from our partner can cause the relationship to plummet. We open our heart to the wrong source when we look to another person to fulfill us, love us, and meet our needs. When that person disappoints or leaves us, we feel betrayed or abandoned.

Would you like to learn how to activate your heart and connect to the secret chamber of the Sacred Heart where unconditional love abounds? In that limitless place of bliss, you will find everything you have always wanted and needed—everything you've been trying to get from a human relationship. Operating from that place of power, you will learn how to allow love to radiate from you so strongly that you no longer absorb detrimental energy from others.

On February 14, 2012, Yvonne Perry presented a teleclass about opening to Sacred Love as part of a 4-week telesummit sponsored by Live-Spirit.com to help relationships of all kinds move from "Fizzle to Sizzle!" Yvonne is the author of the best-selling book, Whose Stuff Is This? Finding Freedom from the Thoughts, Feelings, and Energy of Those Around You.

Crown Chakra

The following is from Michael’s presentation during Empaths Shifting into 2012, hosted by Live-Spirit.com. To get the full transcript and listen to Michael’s entire presentation as well as the presentation Yvonne Perry gave, you may purchase the MP3 here: http://weare1inspirit.com/spiritual-audios.htm#YvonneMichael .

An empath asked him the following question: “I’ve been experiencing a lot of crown chakra activity. I was told that it had to do with the upcoming ascending or dimensional change. What is your take on that and how I could further prepare? I just started having these symptoms within the past three weeks and they have intensified. My physical body and unconscious mind are not aligned right now.”

Michael replied: “We’re all having these experiences our crowns are opening even if you have not done anything intentional to open it. It is most likely being opened and these are called “ascension symptoms.” There are things you can do to cope with that. I would say that the short answer would be to learn how to become even more grounded.

Illnesses and Empathy

During the telesummit, Dr. Smith was asked, “What do you notice about illnesses and empathy?” To which he replied:

“It has been my experience that I’ve noticed, noticed is a word that is helpful for us to use as empaths, the question, what have you noticed. One of the things that I’ve noticed in working with people we have some common empath clients, to put it that way, we have some commonalities in our experiences about our physical health. One of the things that I have noticed in working with people is we tend to have illnesses or diseases that are similar to fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, some people use an older term which is Epstein bar. These are basically terms that medical science uses to describe a series of symptoms lumped together that they actually have no idea the origin, what creates these illnesses for the most part. They are kind of shooting in the dark in terms of treating these again, for the most part, big generalization, right that’s just helpful to answer your question here real quickly. So if you are going to describe these diseases in another way the origin of these diseases one of the ways you could describe it might be to describe it as the human nervous system overtime becoming over tasked through perceiving through the nervous system itself perceiving energy of other people.

So as empaths that is one of the main things that we do, we’re around people, we perceive them. Now in addition to perceiving the energy of other people I would say that we’re also in general very energetically sensitive that means, another way of saying that energetically sensitive is that we have seven major chakras in our nervous system in our body. Chakras can close up and when they close up we can feel ungrounded. Because our vibration lowers every time those chakras close we take in less prana, we take in less chi, we take in less energy because the valves close. Over time the nervous system learns that as an empath they close down to protect us from the perception of energy. The nervous system itself believes it’s doing us a favor and in many cases it might be. It’s just that overtime chronic closing of our valves leaves us feeling completely drained. It’s an attempt to get us to change our behavior and that behavior is to get us to stop engaging so much with other people until we learn to raise our vibration and bring in more light to combat (so to speak, I don’t like to use that word), until we can combat to lower vibratory energy that we perceive in other people.”

Disengage to Ground Yourself and Slow Down Your Hectic Vibration

The third tool covered in Michael R. Smith’s presentation is to disengage. During the presentation, Dr. Smith asked us to do an experiential exercise either with our eyes closed or to physically walk over to the nearest appliance or electrical outlet that has some kind of appliance connected to it. For 15 seconds we just listened to the hum produced by electricity. There’s something humming in our walls or environment all of the time. The refrigerator is the appliance that uses the most electricity and creates the most vibration, which is not particularly helpful for us. The alternating current runs through us and around us, and most of us spend our day inside surrounded by four walls that contain an electrical current.

Electrical current over time leaves us ungrounded. The alternating current alternates between a high polarity and a low polarity. It’s like riding a rollercoaster all day because we’re constantly going back and forth between a current that is up and a current that is down.

Now if you think of the vibration of the Earth. It’s very slow. Imagine in your mind’s eye the vibration of clouds in the sky. Do clouds move? Do you ever really see clouds moving at a break-neck speed? Probably not. Most clouds have a very slow vibration, slow movement to them, representing the vibration of that of the Earth, which vibrates at a frequency around approximately 8 cycles per second.

The vibrational frequency of the alternating current in your walls is between 50 and 60 cycles per a second, much faster. Because it’s a quicker higher vibration it tends to leave us feeling ungrounded. That’s the vibration that many of us walk around the Earth in. No wonder we feel rushed. Everything is quick, quick, quick!

So what’s the anecdote to this? Pretty simple. Spend time in nature. Even one or two hours in nature will ground us to a slower vibration. If you’re in an office building all day, the next quickest way to become grounded is to slow your breath down.

YOUR TURN: Ask yourself right now, “Have I been spending enough time in nature lately?”
Ask your gut that question and it can tell you yes or no through a feeling, through a vibration. Use the comment feature below and share your answer with us.

Empaths’ Words Manifest Quickly

What if we empaths are here on Earth to help clean up the messes of the past? What if it is our role to heal others and to move into a higher vibration?
Guess what? It IS the truth! Therefore, any time you call forth your highest self you are calling in more spiritual energy than you had prior. That same process is happening everywhere on Earth. There’s a higher spiritual vibration today than there was yesterday.

Every thought and every word that comes out of your mouth is a prayer or an act of creation. That’s because as empaths we’re good manifesters. You may have noticed that manifestation is happening quicker for you lately. I know I have and many of those who follow the comments on Empaths Connection or some of the other forums for empaths. This is related to the shift in 2012, which is short hand for the human brain to understand that something is happening, perhaps what some people might call ascension. It’s a big fancy word for spiritual vibration increasing on Earth.

One way to more quickly manifest what you are asking for which is to be clear on your intent and remove negative words from your vocabulary. There are certain words that could be banned from use.

No Ban Words is represented by this acronym: NBW.

Michael led us through an exercise and admonished us to set a goal to eliminate these three words from our vocabulary: Need, but, and why. He asked us to engage in correcting our language for success. To get the full transcript and listen to Michael’s entire presentation as well as the presentation given by Yvonne Perry, you may purchase the MP3 here: http://weare1inspirit.com/product/seminars/empath-telesummit-4/

Need

The word “need” indicates lack. I need more time. I need more money. I need. I need. I need. You might as well be saying to the universe “I exist in a state of lack. Do you hear me speaking this to you? I lack power. I lack money. I lack this.” And of course we know that whatever is thought or said creates our reality.

Don’t worry about being perfection—it does not exist. Perfection is an illusion; so just try to remember to replace “need” with “want” or “desire.” Want and desire indicate a prayer in which you are asking spirit to give you something. If you ask you shall receive.

But

The second word we will replace in our vocabulary is the word “but.” Listen to the energy different between these two statements. “I’d like to go out with you but I can’t because I have other commitments.” Whenever you use the word but whatever is said immediately before it gets “karate chopped” and you destroy it. You might as well not even had said it. So replace the word “but” with “and.” You might say, “I’d like to go out with you and I can’t date you right now because of other commitments.” The word ‘and’ allows for two simultaneous realities at once. This simple switch will help change your reality.

Why

The third and final word is “why.” Many of the questions that begin with the word why are usually not very helpful. In many instances, it tends to be a useless question. “Why am I having all these problems?” or “Why am I having these challenges in my life?” These can have a whiny vibration attached to it. Instead of asking why are you having all these challenges/problems, replace “why” with the word “how.” How questions and always lead you to better answers. Ask the Universe, “How can I overcome or more past these problems?” or “How can I change and create change in my life?” That leads you to action.

Join us on this blog tomorrow when Michael helps us understand what it means to disengage.

Engage, Remain Neutral, or Disengage?

Dr. Michael Smith is a coach, licensed counselor, healing practitioner, spiritual medium, and self-help author. His book for empaths is Navigating 2012: Thriving in Earth's New Age Access Dr. Smith's free materials including his monthly newsletter on (http://www.Empathconnection.com

The following is an excerpt from Michael’s presentation during Empaths Shifting into 2012 hosted by Live-Spirit.com.

Empaths are helpers and healers packing a lot of power. We’ve got a lot of gifts and talents. We understand the spirit world. We intuitively get the world of higher vibration. It’s fun and exciting. From the cradle to the grave, empaths seek to have better communication between worlds, between left brain/right brain, between heaven and earth, and between 3D polarities

Presently, we are at a critical stage of spiritual development and many are wondering what the next step might be. Perhaps you want to help other empaths. Therefore, I’d like to share with you from the toolkit of self-care to move you toward becoming a skilled empath. Being a skilled empath takes a lot refinement, discipline, and practice in order to become more aware of your own energy system and yourself.

One of the acronyms that I find helpful is the word “end.” E-N-D. It stands for the three choices we have when we are presented with any kind of stimulus such as when you are challenged, or someone has presented you with a question, or is asking you to do something. You always have three choices: Engage, remain Neutral, or Disengage. E-N-D stand for Engage-Neutral-Disengage.

Mastering the use of the word no is one of the first and most powerful steps in becoming a skilled empath. This allows us to consciously choose to engage or say yes only when we really want to.

NOTE: Michael walked us through an exercise in which we had a dialog with our gut and noticed the physical sensation. To get the full transcript and listen to Michael’s entire presentation as well as the presentation given by Yvonne Perry, you may purchase the MP3 here: http://weare1inspirit.com/spiritual-audios.htm#YvonneMichael

Join us on this blog tomorrow when we look at what it means to remain neutral. This is the second step in the acronym E-N-D.

Increasing the Light Within and Around You

Imagine you are in a tent, camping out in your own backyard. When you turn on a light you can see everything inside the tent. The darkness is still outside your tent. Now if you turn on the floodlights in your yard, the area around you contains less darkness. At sunrise, there is even more light around you. At mid-day there is no darkness at all.

Compare this to your own spiritual light. There is enough light inside you (your own tent) to light your personal path. When you expand your light into your aura, it’s like turning on the floodlights in your backyard—you will begin to affect others with your light. Once you make it clear that you want the light to increase and that you don’t want darkness around you, the Universe will respond by bringing more and more light. The next thing you know, there is no darkness around you. This is how you raise your personal vibration. As you heal yourself, you heal others and the planet.

By distinguishing your personal energy, clearing your auric field, raising your own vibration, and showing compassion without paying a personal price, we can help usher in the New Heaven and New Earth that has been prophesied.

If there is something in your life that needs to undergo the cleansing, refining process, be willing to allow the process. Let yourself feel what you need to feel in order to deal with the core issue. When you deal, you will heal. Then, the only thing left of a past belief or situation is the lesson learned—there’s no emotional attachment to it. It no longer has power over you.

This is a great time to be on the planet to help facilitate this shift into purer consciousness. So, let go of fear, unforgiveness, victim mindset and other limiting beliefs and make room for your authentic self to shine. There’s so much more beauty and joy to be experienced!

No matter where you are in managing the gift of empathy, I can intuitively help you take the next step toward accomplishing your divine mission. Working with the ascended masters, we can help you get clear on what’s holding you back from living a fulfilled, joyful, peaceful life that comes from being in alignment with your higher self or oversoul.

Coaching is a life-changing experience that allows you to quickly make spiritual changes that improve every aspect of your life. Did you know that I offer empath coaching to help you personally discover the spiritual purpose for which you have been sent to the planet? If you are ready to develop the intuitive gift of empathy and use it to heal yourself and others, I invite you to consider working with me as a coach.

Grounding and Centering Steps

You need to choose a color for your grounding cord. Try on different ones until one feels right and aligns with whatever you need today.

Envision Divine white light clearing your body and aura as it extends from the universe to the center of planet Earth.
Establish a grounding _________ (color) cord from your root chakra at the tailbone and see the grounding cord going into the earth. You are now surrounded by the light and filled with the light.
See your aura extending 2.5 feet from your body (an arm’s length away) above, below, in front, behind, and to the sides of your body.
Imagine a shower of golden sunlight washing your aura for 2 minutes. This might be swirls of sparkling glitter, or spirals of light
Envision the Christ-gold light surrounding your body. This is your higher self—this is who you really are. You are protecting yourself! Yet, you really don’t need protection—you just need to realize who you are!
Next, see blue light surrounding the Christ-gold light like bands of light. You can add other colors if you would like.
Notice another band of flaming light—the kind that you see when a fire is really hot. This is the violet flame of St. Germaine. Envision it surrounding all the bands of your aura. Its purpose is to deflect detrimental energies from your environment.
Feel free to call upon angels, archangels, ascended masters, the Holy Spirit or whomever you feel comfortable asking for spiritual assistance.
Imagine roses are in place outside of your aura to absorb and transmute any detrimental energy that you are processing in this session as a result of these faster-vibrating energies surrounding you. These energies encourage you to examine and process anything that is unlike love. Ask that it be gently transmuted into beneficial energy for you, your life, your body, and others.
The next part asks you to imagine cosmic gold light energy begins in my crown, flows down the back of you chakras, curves under your tail bone. Ten percent flows down through your grounding cord. The other 90 percent flows upward to your 5th chakra at your throat where it divides three ways: upward and out through crown, down each shoulder and arm then out the palms.
While the cosmic gold light is running through your body and cleansing your chakras, call forth Mother Gaia’s love and light earth energies to ascend through your feet, up your legs, joining the cosmic gold flow at your tail bone where it will flow consecutively with the cosmic gold light through the appropriate channels.
This is a good time to do your breathing meditation. Tom Goode taught us full-wave breathing in session two. If you missed that session, I encourage you to purchase the replays on Live-Spirit.com

The MP3 for this exercise is downloadable for free on my Website: http://weare1inspirit.com/spiritual-audios.htm#Grounding.

Daily employ the grounding and centering exercises taught in this presentation. This will raise your vibration and enhance your current meditation practice.

Helping Empaths See Themselves as Empowered Beings of Light

Today we continue to talk about the role forgiveness plays in becoming a clear, clean vessel that purer frequencies of light can shine through us. Forgiveness helps resolve karma and allows the light of our higher selves to manifest.

I realize there are some abusive situations that are difficult to forgive—in fact, it is impossible for the ego to forgive anything or let go of an offense. Only by allowing Spirit/Source—your truest self—to address the situation can forgiveness be complete. True forgiveness is not overlooking the “bad” in a person; it is about letting go of anything that keeps you from experiencing peace of mind. This means giving up “attack” thoughts and not taking things personally or projecting your expectations onto others. It means not seeing yourself as a victim, who has been attacked, abandoned, betrayed, or misunderstood.

On my YouTube channel you will find a video titled “Why God Cannot Forgive.” Direct link: http://youtu.be/XqsweQTe71A .

Deny the ego by recognizing your oneness with Spirit/Source and others. This is not something we can grasp intellectually. We must allow Spirit/Source into our awareness over and over until love becomes a real experience. You may have to do this repeatedly just as many times as you replayed the old tape.

When you are centered in Love and Light, you can simply observe the behavior of others and recognize that another person is behaving because of something going on in his or her mind; it has nothing to do with you. You can then decide to be around this person/behavior or not.

Remaining in an uncomfortable or dangerous situation is self-torture, not forgiveness. Your choice to no longer associate with this person is a miracle, not a failure! A miracle shifts your mind toward peace, and away from conflict. Forgiveness and peace show up as a result of your choice to take care of yourself by avoiding an abusive person. You cannot expect the abusive person to change his ways. A miracle always occurs in your mind; therefore, a change of mind is all that is needed to bring you peace.

Will you change your mind about seeing yourself as a victim?

I mentioned being centered in Love and Light. Tomorrow, I’ll walk you through an exercise to help you understand how to do this.

Why Forgiveness Is Necessary for Empaths

In order to know how forgiveness can clear your emotions, bring healing, and raise your vibration, you need to understand what unforgiveness or any other repressed emotion does to your energy field. Have you ever noticed how awful you feel after you’ve had an argument with someone? You may continue to replay the incident and obsess over the situation instead of simply forgiving the offense and moving on. It does not matter what the form your anger takes—sarcasm, criticism, judgment, apathy, depression—carrying around an energetic burden of anger, fear, sadness, or vengeance lowers your vibration and attracts similar energy. When you are angry with another person, you continue to send slow-vibrating waves of energy to them, and guess what? Whatever you send out, comes back to you, magnified. Even after you stuff an emotion deeply enough that you no longer feel it, it is still very much alive and actively destroying your aura and chakras as well as causing damage to your physical body.

When someone does something that you perceive is wrong, he is actually giving you an opportunity to bless him and yourself. After all, you need the same forgiveness you offer him. When you deny forgiveness you will feel deprived. The fastest way to get rid of detrimental energy is to offer forgiveness to everyone, everything, and every circumstance we have mis-created. Lesson 122 in A Course in Miracles has a mental exercise that I want to walk you through now:

Begin by thinking of someone you do not like, who seems to irritate you; one you actively despise, or merely try to overlook.

Now close your eyes and see this person in your mind, and look at him a while. Try to perceive some light in him somewhere; a little gleam that you have never noticed. Try to find some little spark of brightness shining through the ugly picture that you hold of this person. Look at this picture until you see a light somewhere within it. Now using your imagination to expand this light until it covers the person and makes the picture beautiful and good. Then let him offer you that light back to you. Look at this changed perception.

Now, turn your mind to someone you consider a friend or someone you like to be with. Try to transfer the light you learned to see around your former “enemy” to this friend. Let your “enemy” and friend unite in blessing you with what you have given them. Now are you one with them, and they with you. Now you have been forgiven by yourself.

By seeing the light in another person, you see and expand the light within yourself. Do you understand the role forgiveness plays in bringing happiness to your mind?

On my YouTube channel you will find a video titled “Why God Cannot Forgive.” Direct link: http://youtu.be/XqsweQTe71A .

Who do you need to forgive today? Will you use this visualization to heal your issues with this person? Leave a comment and share with us.

There Are No Victims!

Over the next few days, I will discuss how to move beyond your past experiences and become empowered to help the earth and humanity shift into purer (faster-vibrating) planes of consciousness.

One huge step in clearing your energy field and beginning your work with purer frequencies is to stop seeing yourself as a victim—of anything! We create our own circumstances through choices we have made either at a soul level (which may seem involuntary on the physical plane), on purpose, or by default (doing nothing to actively pursue a better outcome). Does this include abuse? Abuse is not something any of us consciously want to manifest, but you are only a victim if you choose to see yourself that way. You can change your mind about the abusive experience and thereby change your future, healing your emotions in the process. In today’s presentation, I will teach you what true forgiveness is.

Why Abuse Occurs

For now, let’s talk about three reasons from an empowered soul perspective as to why abuse occurs:

1. Soul Development

One way to overcome abuse is to accept it as part of your soul’s development plan. The act of abuse could have been arranged by your soul to help you discover a particular strength or virtue, or to allow you to become a mentor to newer souls who are suffering abuse now because they don’t know any better.

In week two’s presentation, Jenna Forrest touched on the levels of consciousness that empaths seem to go through in this current incarnation. Even though we are evolved in other realms or dimensions, most of us voluntarily incarnate at one of the lower levels (shame, guilt, apathy, grief) in order to know first-hand how others feel. We will minister to those younger souls who have not had as many lifetimes to work on spiritual development.

2. Karma and Repaying Debts

I’ve heard people say that abuse occurs as a result of karmic debt being repaid. Personally, the only way I see this happening is if two souls in an abusive relationship while in physical body were to reconnect in the afterlife and continue their battle. It’s likely that these souls (or unresolved issues from the astral body of a soul no longer in body) would attempt to reincarnate into bodies with close proximity to one another so they may continue this abusive behavior in another lifetime. This could be a cycle that some souls perpetuate, but according to The Spirit’s Book, a channeled work by Allan Kardec, this behavior will eventually cease as these souls decide they’ve had enough and finally cross over into the light and develop their souls and begin to vibrate at a purer frequency.

By the way, many empaths are able to see, feel, hear, and sense (even smell) earthbound souls around them. What they are really sensing is the unresolved detrimental issues collected in the astral body of someone who died. Again, this is only energy—we are all energy—everything is energy.

Please note that nothing that happens on this earth plane needs to go with us into the afterlife. We can resolve our issues now. We will take only the positive lessons with us when we leave our physical body, which means our karma (crystallization of the astral body) remains in the earth plane where it continues to affect the collective consciousness of all. I have an MP3 seminar about this on my website: http://weare1inspirit.com/product/seminars

3. Shirking Responsibility

Another reason an act of violence could happen is because some soul who agreed to protect you did not step in. That soul may have gotten trapped in an unhealthy relationship that didn’t allow them to acquire the lesson they were supposed to learn in order to shield you. In this case, you could blame the other person for allowing the abuse to happen to you, but doing so will permit you to continue to see yourself as a victim, and will delay your healing and keep you from taking the next step toward empowerment as an empath. Our egos will find any excuse to avoid taking responsibility for where we are now. Regardless of what has happened in your past, you are the only one who can make the decision to process (resolve) offenses and get on with your life’s purpose. The longer you hang on to the victim mentality, the more you will continue to attract detrimental energy into your life experience.

You will never be able to fulfill your divine mission for being here if you stay stuck licking your wounds. Do whatever you need to do to heal, forgive, and move forward. Remember, whatever you focus on or think about comes about. Focusing on past abuse is the same as re-abusing yourself daily! In an effort to avoid processing your true feelings, you are picking the crust off of emotional wounds that need to be healed. Focus on the light and love within you. Be good to yourself. The ego will tempt you to feel sorry for yourself and continue to perpetuate the victim mindset. But, you can say no to your ego. You are in charge of whatever you think about. Forgive everything that has happened to you in the past and allow your guides to assist you in becoming the empowered being that you already are.

You can easily transmute detrimental energy for yourself and others and it will not get stuck in your body if you have no similar energy to attract it. By being completely non-resistant, you allow these energies to flow through without affecting you in a harmful manner. It requires acknowledging what you feel and making a conscious decision to not take offense. Just breathe and integrate. Tom Goode gave us the steps on how to do this in the second session of this telesummit. Please get the replays. There is enough information in them to totally change your life IF you put it into practical application.

The Purpose for the Gift of Empathy

The main reason empaths feel drained is because they are picking up negative energy from those around them. This is the slower-vibrating energy that we mentioned earlier this week. It’s not good or bad; it’s simply vibrating at a slower rate or frequency. We pick this up many times in order to transmute it, and free others from karma and suffering. That’s fine if you know how to do that, but you have got to keep your own auric field clear and your own chakras open in order to do this without bringing harm to your own body or causing your own emotions to go awry. One way to ensure that there’s nothing in you for this type of energy to resonate with is to continue with spiritual practices of purification such as deep breathing exercises, prayer, meditation, reading uplifting material, and other such practices.

My book, Whose Stuff Is This?, has an entire chapter of exercises you can do to ground your energy, stay centered, set boundaries, and clear the electromagnetic field that surrounds your body. We will do one of these clearing exercises in this session.

Many sacred warrior and wounded healer empaths may believe that healing others is a way to heal yourself and this is true, but this practice if done incorrectly can deteriorate the body and is not recommended because doing so takes away the learning experience of another person.

Empaths have duties such as assisting souls who are incarnating on the earth, healing people and animals, writing and teaching others, providing intuitive readings, changing the weather, working with the earth’s ley/gridlines, assisting souls who are crossing over into the afterlife, working with souls on the other side. Many empaths are also physic mediums who deliver psychic messages, and have many other spiritual tasks to perform. I plan to write a book (Shifting into Purer Consciousness: How to Embrace and Integrate Multidimensional Frequencies will be a self-help manual for dealing with the human experience as effected by spiritual transformation) about how to integrate accelerated frequencies—those frequencies that are vibrating faster—and how to work with those energies. Be on the lookout for that book in 2012.

The main thing that causes empaths to miss accomplishing their joyful, divine mission is the lack of forgiveness. Harboring resentment, attempting to retaliate, seeing yourself as a victim, and blaming others are signs of a soul that has a cluttered energy field. And, these things provide a nice incubator for detrimental energy. Remember, energy attracts more energy like itself. Empaths can’t keep from picking up energy—it’s part of our reason for being in body—but we can keep from carrying it and allowing it to drag us down or make us sick. That’s why it is necessary to talk about the importance of forgiveness. More on that in a few days, so stay tuned to this blog.

This post is from a presentation given by Yvonne Perry during the telesummit, Empaths Shifting into 2012. “There Are No Victims” is intended to help empaths release the victim mentality imprinted in their cellular memory, forgive those they see as abusers, move beyond past experiences, and become empowered to help the Earth and humanity shift into purer planes of consciousness.

What Are Lower Vibrating Energies?

First of all, let me state that there is no “good” energy or “bad” energy. We put those labels on things using our human judgment of what we think is pleasant or unpleasant, desirable and undesirable. The frequency of an object, thought, or feeling is nothing more than how fast or slow it vibrates. It is what it is when we do not judge it. The fact remains that we are being urged to awaken to our authentic high-vibrating spiritual selves that only knows pure consciousness. This process requires that we deal with dense energy from the lower realms of consciousness.

We are so much more than we have realized. We have been afraid to know and use our creative power because we don’t want to be thought of a pious or arrogant. Actually, the opposite is true. Humility is power under spirit’s control—not self-abasement that comes from following the voice of ego. We have the very essence of God/Goddess within us. It’s time to decisively manage our energy and use the power of our thoughts to actively create the life and world peace we all seek.

Join us tomorrow to learn the purpose for the gift of empathy.

Energy Resonation

Suppose you are in a music store where all is quiet. You pluck the E string on one guitar, and soon all the E strings on the other guitars in the store start to play. This is resonation and this is similar to what is happening to humanity. The earth is changing her vibrational pitch and we are aligning with it. Anything that is discordant with the new frequency must change. The Universe is not taking “no” for an answer regarding things in our lives and society that must be changed in order to accommodate this shift in vibration. We must shift whatever is not in alignment with the new frequency.

We are divinely connected to Source and one another; therefore, we pick up the thoughts, feelings, and energy of those around us in an effort to heal others. When we have lower vibrating energy such as resentment, fear, judgment, prejudice, a sense of entitlement or victimhood, unhealed emotional pain within us, we easily begin to vibrate at the same lower frequency of the energy that is being released in another person. The key here is to integrate anything that is not of a faster vibration of consciousness. When we are clean, clear, and aligned with the frequencies of Light and Love, there is nothing for the discordant energy to attach to.

In addition to this energetic cleansing, our chakras are opening up and psychic and spiritual gifts are coming forth. We are hearing, seeing, and having experiences in higher dimensions or levels of consciousness. We intuitively know when someone is lying to us, we are becoming healers, we are channeling our higher selves and ascended masters, and we are sharing information to help others get free in order to make the shift. This means we are having to deal with all the negative energy stuck in our chakras, body, and auric field. As others release their stuff, we need to make sure we don’t grab it and run with it, thinking it is our own. I’ve began a practice of giving “last rites” to any negative energy I am finished with. As part of the integration process we learned from Dr. Tom Goode in the telesummit, Empaths Shifting into 2012, I’m no longer using the terms “let it go” or “release.” Instead, I am transmuting or changing the slower-vibrating energy into faster-vibrating or purer energy of healing and love and peace, visualizing it falling to earth as golden, glittery sparkles of light to bless all. My intent is to have this exercise make living an authentic life is easier than ever. I encourage you to submit to the process of the refiner’s fire rather than resist it. I’ve had to do that very thing this week as I accepted and integrated a head cold.

The law of attraction and it applies to everyone regardless of whether or not we understand it. The law of attraction says that energy or vibration attracts similar energy. Like the guitars in the music store, we attract by resonation or according to what we think about, what we believe as truth, what is in our auric field, and how we fast our soul’s energy vibrates. People who have tons of negative energy in their fields will no doubt attract more detrimental energy. That's why it is so important to keep our energy field clear.

Educate Caregivers Regarding Your Empathic Child

Dr. Caron Goode talks about how to support empathic children. She suggests that parents be proactive and not wait for a situation to arise. Explain to teachers, babysitters, grandparents, and caregivers up front that your child has some unique qualities or energetic sensitivity that may be displayed while under their care. Depending upon the age of the child, I can be helpful to either 1.) Empower the child to take responsibility for some situations, or 2.) Educate the caregivers about what is going on with the child spiritually and energetically.

With a younger the child, the caregiver or babysitter has to be told what to expect. Such as in the case with kids who see ghosts. There was a young native American child raised by his father and his grandmothers. When the child went to school, the father went to school to let the teacher know that if she had any questions about his behavior she should call the father directly. You see, the boy has been raised by his grandmothers, but oh by the way his grandmothers have passed over. From an early age the boy was trained to speak to his spirit walker grandmothers. They were with him; they raised him; they taught him how to do spiritual healing because he’s very much a young shaman in training. The father went to the school and explained specifically that the boy will go up and put his hand on other children’s hearts to soothe them when they are hurt or cry. One day the teacher came in after a car accident and the boy went up to her and touched her heart. Because she had been told in advance, she knew what he was doing and she was very accepting of it.

It takes pro-action. We’ve got to help these kids get through. We’ve got to educate so other people can understand and accept them. Be a champion communicator, get out there and help!

Divorced Parenting of Empathic Children

Due to divorce and joint custody arrangements, many children live in two environments. One may be orderly and calm. The other may be haphazard and chaotic. What is done with children in one home can carry over to the other. If one parent understands the empathic child’s sensitivity and the other doesn’t, it can create a huge discordant problem for the empathic child.

In working with parents who are separated or working out a divorce plan for their families, one parent might feed the child sugar and junk food and then send them to the other parent where it takes quite literally a week to help the child change their behavior and get back on course again. It is imperative that parents teach their children how to take care of their own energy. For example, there was one child high on the autism spectrum, who went to his father’s where he was teased for his sensitivity. He would go to bed in tears. He wet the bed and the problem continued to escalate. The mom was a very savvy and smart woman, so rather than keeping him in the victim mode she quickly taught him resilience. She taught him how to strip the bed before he could be teased. She taught him how to wash his own sheets and make his bed again before they would jump on him for doing something wrong. She basically taught him how to take care of himself and he did a very good job. Definitely being in a home environment where there are emotional connections requires some very specific management.

Earth Changes Affecting Empathic Children

The changes the Earth is going through are affecting empaths more than others. A few months ago Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas had a notable 2.4 earthquake. Within 24 hours Dr. Caron Goode was in bed nauseated. She had to ask her husband Tom to realign the electromagnetic frequency of their home using rocks and crystals. Caron notes that as she is working with children, she is seeing more acting out. Not aggression, seeming scattered, or unfocused thinking. Rather, she is noticing children who are able to see more into the other realms. More and more children are seeing spirits and spirit walkers. So the veil is definitely thinning.

She is also seeing young adults really ready to take on their mission, really ready to change their life, such as young adults wanting to go to Afghanistan, or making movies for environmental peace. There’s a huge upswing of chaos and clarity on both ends of the spectrum.

In January, Yvonne Perry, Dr. Caron Goode, and Suzy Miller, will be sponsoring an entire telesummit on raising energy-aware empathic and sensitive children. Caron’s book, Raising Intuitive Children, has chapters on the empathic child. On livespirit.com a program called “Raising Intuitive Children” discusses the empathic child, gives emotional support, and teaches soothing a child to adapt to the environment. Caron also offers one-on-one personal coaching or training. You may contact Dr. Goode at http://live-spirit.com/contact-us/.

There are two events in the coming months that might interest the adult caregivers of empathic children. One of them is the telesummit in November, which is for integrating whole heart consciousness. It helps move children and adults out of the fear belt into that space of unity; thereby helping empathic children feel calmer. Also starting in January of next year, we’ll be offering coaching certifications for people who want to do intuitive coaching. You can be certified and start a successful home-based business in this field. If that calls to anyone who wants to become an intuitive coach for parents that want to be intuitive in their parenting, you may contact Dr. Goode at http://live-spirit.com/contact-us/.

Advice for Time Management

Is keeping an intuitive child on a schedule necessary? They tend to operate from a place of “no time.” If time is an illusion, how do we make the most of it?

Many times the sensitive intuitive children who feel their way become very absorbed in their tasks, studies or artistic expression. They are not strong attenders of time. Sometimes in the feeling world of emotion the aspect of time is not anchored. I answer a lot of that in the book, Raising Intuitive Children, which talks about this specific learning style- energy aware children. For my own step son who had that issue, we had alarm clocks, yellow sticky notes that we put in his room. We actually managed the environment to get him where he needed to go with a lot of time prompts including a little kitchen timer when he needed to be on a call for example or get out the door to a school function on time. So to me, you have to build that in with these children if they are not time savvy.

Your turn to chime in. What questions do you have for Dr. Goode? Please ask your question as a comment below.

About the Author

Yvonne Perry, also known as LavendarRose, is a metaphysical author, teacher, and speaker. A graduate of American Institute of Holistic Theology, she holds a Bachelor of Science in Metaphysics.

For 40 years she was enmeshed with the fundamental dogma of religion and lived according to the interpretation of the Bible that her family, society, and church leaders passed down to her. Before she had a label to put on her empathetic ability, she called herself an intercessor carrying the burdens of others to the throne of grace. While praying for others she empathically took on their suffering until it severely challenged her emotional and physical health. This book tells how she recovered and shares spiritual practices to help other energy-sensitive people clear their energy field, set boundaries, and stay grounded in Spirit.
