FAITH IS THE ANSWER

There have been so many times in my life when I have been stuck in a cloud of doubt and despair. The conditions of my life have been such that I have often not been able to see my way through. I have struggled when what I really needed to do was to just let go.

The beauty of my unfolding life is that I have discovered I am not alone. So many people I have since encountered have shared a similar experience. Yet they have found a way out of it. They have discovered that faith is the answer. I have also discovered that for myself.

I have had to let go of my fears and embrace a belief in the power in the universe that can and does guide me to a higher place. My own fragile ego has thought it could handle impossible situations. That has never been enough. In fact, it has often led me astray. I have had to learn to trust in the spirit that resides within us all. That spirit can always provide the answer.

It has been a matter of learning to trust in that Source. It has been a matter of turning to it and asking what I can do to prevail. I have had to turn to it for guidance to show me the way to go. As the website, The Divine Speaks, says: I have had to ask where I should go, what I should do, who I should talk to, and what I should say. In so doing, it has taken a tremendous burden off me.

Like a little child, I have had to believe that I can never be guided wrong if I go within to find the answers. This has required me to place my faith in that power greater than myself. By relaxing, breathing, and letting go of my worries, I have been able to see clearly what is mine to do. The rest I have had to turn over to Source to provide the outcome.

It has not always been what I had hoped for. That is the mystery of life. My ego likes to project what the outcome will be. The truth is that my ego doesn't know what best serves my spirit. I am on a journey of discovery that has often led me to unexpected places.

Such has been the case with my writing. I had never expected to be an author. Yet now, I have written a total of thirteen books, two of which have been published. That has been an unexpected miracle in my life. It was the outcome of me asking Source what my life purpose was.

As a young man, I was concerned with being a successful businessman. I wanted to become a millionaire before I was thirty. As I matured, I have learned to become more concerned about my fellow man and woman. I have become a person who has learned to look beyond selfish desires. This has become my primary quest in my writing. I am on a mission to wake up people to their own spirits.

The way I am striving to do this is to show people that joy is the pathway to freedom. My books are designed to make people laugh. They are also designed to make people take a look at themselves and to see how they can become aligned with their intrinsic values. In so doing, they will have the ability to let go of those negative qualities we all possess in order to follow a more positive path.

My character, Sister Mary Olga Fortitude, asks people to follow the Golden Rule: to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. This, in and of itself, is an act of trust and faith. It requires searching within for the answers. Try it. Perhaps you will find the same freedom I have found for myself. That is my wish for each and every one of you.

Self-Forgiveness Prayer

Like everyone else, I have made many mistakes in the past. But, the greatest mistake of all would be to continue to have remorse and guilt over my past mistakes because this only continues to reinforce the illusion of separation from God. In truth, I have never been separated from God for a single instant.

Here is a prayer to help you release the shame and guilt you may be dealing with regarding mistakes you have made:

I now forgive myself for every past mistake. All condemnation is released. I give up every destructive feeling about the past, every feeling of separateness. I let go of all resentment, hate, and fear. God-Goddess knows nothing about sin for He/She did not create it. The Divine Spirit within me has never been contaminated with shame, guilt, or blame. Divine Love frees me from any sense of condemnation toward myself and others. There is no condemnation in the Christ consciousness. Therefore, as I forgive, I AM freely forgiven and released from my own illusions and miscreations. I let go of the past. I have no guilt regarding the past and no apprehension for the future. I AM free and I AM a new creation. And so it is.

Catch the Replay of Yvonne's Call with Empaths on September 12

This is the replay link to those who missed the call in which empaths joined Yvonne Perry for a discussion about being highly-sensitive. Yvonne is the author of the handbook for empaths known as Whose Stuff Is This? ~ Finding Freedom from the Thoughts, Feelings, and Energy of Those Around You: http://instantteleseminar.com/?eventid=45082200

You Are a Spirit Being

I hope that after reading my book you will be ready to accept that you are a spirit being having a human experience and that as such, you have gifts that are of value to you and others.

Learning to use these gifts wisely will help the world move into a new reality where we are led by the heart and mind of Spirit rather than ego. Things may not change overnight; it’s not easy to switch from feeling doomed and powerless to feeling peaceful and enthusiastic. So, take it one day at a time; observe your emotions and see them as part of your guidance system or a mirror to let you see what you are attracting. Life is full of ups and downs, and what you give your attention to is your choice. It will help to focus on what’s going right in your life. If you notice small changes within yourself, celebrate and acknowledge what is working for you. This is a new beginning.

If you are interested in managing rapid spiritual transformation, you may enjoy my book, Shifting into Purer Consciousness ~ Integrating Spiritual Transformation with the Human Experience.

Learning to Be Non-resistant

Fear, judgment, denial, and our preconceived ideas about a person, place, or opportunity can mislead us, but those who have developed the gift of empathy and learned to trust their intuition are more inclined to pay attention to what they sense and feel. This allows energy to flow through without getting stuck, while at the same time being grounded and centered. This is what I refer to as being non-resistant.

In our society, we have been taught to be emotionally dishonest. We pretend to feel one thing when we truly feel another. When we are sad, we say everything is fine, yet a large percentage of people are taking antidepressants. When we are angry and our spouse asks, “What’s wrong?” we pretend not to be upset. We say, “Nothing’s the matter” or we give them the silent treatment rather than calmly and rationally expressing our point of view. When we deny what we feel or judge ourselves for feeling it, we deny an authentic part of ourselves. If we resist or ignore what is happening or what we feel, we can’t process the experience. I’m not advocating a full-blown, violent expression of emotions. There is a healthy way to acknowledge our feelings without letting them get the best of us or harming others.

Whatever we place emphasis on will increase. Resistance attracts things, people, energy, and situations we don’t want. Therefore, I’m more concerned with raising my vibration, enjoying my spiritual practice, and maintaining my own energy than I am with setting up fortresses to protect myself against external forces. When you are non-resistant, you feel lighter and it’s easier to be joyful and allow what you really want to flow into your life. Happiness comes from within and is not dependent upon external circumstances.

To live without resistance, you must completely forgive yourself and others of any perceived wrongdoings. Grievances hold us back from living in a state of total peace and well-being. When we judge or criticize others or refuse to forgive, we block the natural flow of energy in our body and aura. This causes us to attract more negativity. So, the next time you are about to judge or criticize, stop and accept yourself, the other person, and situation as it is. It doesn’t mean you condone it. It means you are accepting its reality instead of denying or fighting it.

Empaths Feeling Emotions in Traffic

One highly sensitive person I heard from said she if she drove past a serious car accident, she would feel all the emotions that the people involved feel, including the confusion of the person who died. If there is someone in the car with her, she feels embarrassed about crying and having to answer their question, “Did you know someone in that accident?” and explain why she is crying.

Do you get these kinds of empathic “hits” when you are in traffic or driving?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

August 31, 2013

Characteristics of Highly Sensitive People

Here are a few characteristics of empaths who have not learned to filter out other people’s emotions or manage their own energy:

• You constantly feel overwhelmed with emotions and you may cry a lot, feel sad, angry, or depressed for no good reason. You may be tempted to think you are crazy for having random mood swings and bouts of unexplained fatigue. If you are a woman, it’s like having PMS all the time!

Unrestrained empathy can cause a person to manifest symptoms similar to bipolar (manic-depressive) disorder.

• You drop by the store feeling great, but once you get in a crowd you start feeling down, angry, sad, or overwhelmed. You feel you must be coming down with something so you decide to go home and rest.

• If you’ve found that you can’t be in public without becoming overwhelmed you may start to live the life of a hermit. But, even at home, you get depressed when you watch the news and you cry while watching a movie. You feel horrible when a commercial for the Humane Society shows animals that need a home. You may rescue more animals than you can possibly care for.

• You feel sorry for people no matter who they are or what they have done. You feel the need to stop and help anyone in your path. You can’t pass by a homeless person without giving him money—even if you don’t have it to spare.

• Many empaths are overweight. When they absorb stressful emotions, it can trigger panic attacks, depression as well as food, sex, and drug binges. Some may overeat to cope with emotional stress or use their body weight as a shield or buffer. In Chapter 9 of my book, Whose Stuff Is This? ~ Finding Freedom from the Thoughts, Feelings, and Energy of Those Around You I show how to use light as protection.

• Most empaths have the ability to physically and emotionally heal others by drawing the pain or ailment out of the sick person and into their own bodies. For obvious reasons, this is not recommended unless you know how to keep from becoming ill in the process.

• From chest pains and stomach cramps to migraines and fever, you manifest symptoms without contracting an actual illness. Later, you learn that your “ailment” coincided with the onset of a friend or family member’s illness.

• No one can lie to you because you can see through their façade and know what they really mean. You may even know why they lied.

• People—even strangers—open up and start volunteering their personal information. You may be sitting in a waiting room minding your own business and waiting your turn when the person next to you starts sharing all kinds of personal information. You didn’t ask them to and they never considered that you might not want to hear about their drama. People may feel better after speaking with you, but you end up feeling worse because they have transferred their emotional pain to you.

• Some empaths don’t do well with intimate relationships. Constantly taking on their partner’s pain and emotions, they may easily get their feelings hurt, desire to spend time alone rather than with the partner, feel vulnerable when having sex, and feel that they have to continually retrieve their own energy when it gets jumbled with that of their partner. They may be so afraid of becoming engulfed by another person that they close up emotionally just to survive.

• The ill, the suffering, and those with weak boundaries are drawn to the unconditional understanding and compassion an empath emits without even being aware of it. Until you learn how to shut out the energy of others, you may have a pretty miserable existence in which you feel like you have to be entirely alone in order to survive.

It’s easy to see why being an empath is often very draining. No wonder that over time, some folks shut down their empathic ability. There is no need to build walls and shut down your awareness or intuition. Instead, you can shift from feeling the energy inside your body/emotions and begin to perceive it as external energetic impulses that have a message for you.

Alone Time is very Important for Empaths

Most empaths are comfortable being alone and even desire to be, but many live fast-paced lives that do not include time for contemplation and checking to see what is going on with their emotions, energy, and body. This can lead to burn out—emotionally and physically.

Plan to spend some quiet time alone in your space each day to emotionally release any accumulated negative energy. If you are away from home, you can take several mini-breaks throughout the day; stretching or taking a short walk outdoors to get some fresh air will help get the energy moving. These interludes will reduce the excessive stimulation going non-stop around you.

If you encounter an emotional overload and feel tense or sick, act fast. Pull away to a place (even to the restroom if that is the only space you can find to be alone for a few minutes). There, you can ground and center your own energy and remind yourself that you do not take on energy from others.

Affirmations For Empaths or Highly Sensitive People

You can release energy that doesn’t belong to you by using affirmations—small but positive messages to the self. They are used as reminders, helping to keep uplifting thoughts at the forefront of your consciousness. Not only is it important to regularly repeat these affirmations, it is a great idea to post them in your work environment, where you will notice them.

What you think about comes about, so be diligent in re-training your thoughts. Affirmations can also create a filter that blocks the detrimental energy of others. Since it is best to make affirmations personal to you, I recommend that you create your own. However, if you're new to this practice, you might enjoy using some of the affirmations I use. Say the affirmations aloud as if they were already true.

I am willing to feel only the energy that is mine, and I let go of all that is not mine.
I receive energy that is of the highest good for me, and I am protected from all other energy.
I keep my auric field at two and a half feet from my body.
My auric boundary is strong.
I hear, see, feel, and sense only the emotional information that is important for me to know and act upon.
I am honored and respected by all.
I am always safe and divinely protected.
Everything I need to know is revealed to me.
I am vibrantly healthy as I carry positive energy and thoughts.
I am abundantly blessed and happy as I express the beauty and creativity of my heart.
I clearly communicate my needs and take the time necessary to appreciate my own energy, know my true self, and grow spiritually.
I attract only kind and gentle life lessons and relationships into my life.
I understand the divine plan for my life. I have passion and energy to fulfill it with joy!

I would love for you to share your experience as an empath to let us know how affirmations work for you.

There are some MP3s you can listen to on my website: https://weare1inspirit.com/meditations-for-spiritual-growth if you would like to check them out.

The Main Reason People Are So Empathic

We are in a time of expansion both as a planetary shift and as a race of evolving human beings. The reason we see so much violence, social upheaval, and physical planetary changes right now is because Earth is expanding through the fourth dimension of “hell.” Since we are along for the ride, this expansion is affecting all living things on the planet.

Earth is surrounded by a dimension where negative human thought forms are collected and earth-bound souls reside. Earth-bound souls are human spirits who have died without enough consciousness to get themselves through the 4-D barrier and “go through the tunnel light” and enter the fifth dimension. Christians would describe the beautiful, peaceful, light-filled fifth dimension as “heaven.”

Because being immersed in a sea of negative thoughts is emotionally torturous and the soul cannot die, the fourth dimension could be considered the “hell” mentioned in the Bible. A person who is able to see into the fourth dimension would see the energy of the first three chakras, which are red, orange, and yellow. This dimension would look like fire.

Most souls stuck in the fourth dimension have an addiction to substances such as drugs, alcohol, food, sex, power, money, or control of others. They desire to relieve their addiction by obtaining their substance of choice. Thus, they live vicariously through humans by attaching themselves to the body of a one who is practicing a similar addictive behavior or using substances in a harmful manner. These entities feed off of the energy or rage, anger, greed, fear, and inappropriately expressed sexual energy.

People who are most susceptible to being drained by earth-bound souls are those who are not in control of their emotions, and are operating empathically without any energetic boundaries or protection in place. When untrained, these highly-sensitive people (empaths) are like psychic sponges soaking up all the negativity within the fourth dimension. This is why so many people who are depressed and suffering from anxiety attacks can sense something bad about to happen even before it’s noticed in the physical dimension.

So what do we do about this? First of all, get help in overcoming any addictions you may have! In order to find peace, empaths must learn to clear and protect their auric fields and begin to connect with the Divine within themselves and in Mother Nature. I teach how to do this in two of my books. Whose Stuff Is This? ~ Finding Freedom from the Thoughts, Feelings, and Energy of Those Around You teaches how to set boundaries with entities (see chapter 10). It’s the training manual for highly-sensitive who truly want to understand and begin to use their empathic gift for the good of all.

Once you understand and begin practicing the concepts in that book, you will find the next step toward spiritual evolution in Shifting into Purer Consciousness ~ Integrating Spiritual Transformation with the Human Experience. That book teaches how to shift your negative thoughts and raise your vibration so you are no longer bothered by souls in the fourth dimension. Then, you can begin to work with more evolved spirit beings who can help you discover your authentic self and develop your mission and purpose for being on Earth during such a time of transition.

Three Ways for Empaths to Identify Their Own Energy

Here are some ways to identify and distinguish your own energy from that of another person.

1. Ask. If you are feeling overwhelmed by emotions, the first thing to do is ask yourself if the feeling is yours or someone else’s. If you are angry with someone, the feeling is probably your own, but you could also be participating in the energy of the person you quarreled with. Try to resolve the situation, forgive, and let it go. If the energy is not yours, try to determine the obvious originator. Whenever we are in close proximity to another person, our energy fields overlap. For example, if you are feeling out of whack and you’ve just witnessed an accident or have been in a crowded public setting, you may have picked up the feelings of other people. If possible, move at least twenty feet away from the suspected source and notice whether you feel relief. Center yourself by concentrating on your breath—exhaling negativity and inhaling peace. Draw your aura in closer by visualizing it extending no more than two feet from your body until you get home. Then, ground yourself using the techniques discussed in Chapter 9 of Whose Stuff is This?. This can bring relief very quickly.

2. Intuition practice exercise. The word “intuition” is the noun form of the verb “to intuit,” which comes from Latin, meaning “to look in” or “to look on.” Here is an exercise to help you look in on your intuition and use it as a guidance tool when you are faced with making a decision.

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. 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 thought made you feel peaceful, happy, or relaxed?

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

Did you notice yourself wanting to hold your breath when considering either thought?

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

Fear should not be a factor in any decision you make. Feeling 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 yourself means making the decision that is best for you and your divine path. Once you find that feeling of contentment regarding a decision you are about to make, continue to hold that sensation and get used to how it feels. This is your instructive instinct. This is spiritual guidance or intuition that you can learn to trust and follow.

Pay attention to the feelings and impressions you receive wherever you go. You may have a feeling that you don't want to go into a certain place, or you don't want to connect with a certain person. You are wise to trust those feelings; they come to us for a reason, whether it makes rational sense or not. Intuition does not come from the rational side of our brain; it comes from a place of higher knowing that is meant to guide us and keep us safe.

3. Spend time building a relationship with yourself. The busier we get the less we are likely to take time to sit still and listen to the voice within, but this is a very important part of learning to sense your own energy and honing your intuitive skills. We may be doing something wonderful for someone else, but if we neglect taking time to renew our own energy, we put ourselves at risk of being overwhelmed. Self-healing and self-care is a wonderful gift we can offer ourselves as empathic healers. Taking a break, spending time in meditation, and relaxing are some of the best ways to get to know how your energy feels, raise your vibration, and avoid taking on other’s symptoms.

Highly Sensitive Indigo Children and Crystal Kids

You may have heard of Indigo Children or Crystal Kids, who have intuitive gifts that surprise or even astound adults. These empathic children easily pick up on the feelings and thoughts of adults and others as they unconsciously reach into human and spirit energy fields to gather information and understand things around them. Seeing with their spiritual eyes, feeling with their spiritual senses, hearing with their spiritual ears, they may give information about a past life, tell of events before they happen, see ghosts, or know something about another person or situation that no one else does. Today, as many as one in four children have this ability and are tuned into the higher frequency all the time.

Because these children do not know how to set personal boundaries (or that they need to), they do not realize when they are in another person’s mental or emotional space, much less how invasive this can be to that person. It can also affect the child’s own vibrational level. As parents we need to teach our children how to properly use this empathic gift, but many adults do not trust their own intuition, much less recognize their children’s spiritual abilities. Empathic kids and teens need someone they can talk to, and they need information on how to keep their auras clear and to open and shut their intuitive abilities at will. It is important for adults to help them learn how to do this and set energetic boundaries. The more you read and study this topic, the better you will be able to answer your children’s questions. I hope you will relate to what you are learning here and help the children in your life develop their intuition.

In my book, Whose Stuff Is This? ~ Finding Freedom from the Thoughts, Feelings, and Energy of Those Around You, Dr. Caron Goode shares the four core temperaments as they relate to the psychological aspect of empathy. I invite you to read this book!

Spiritual Causes for Tingling, Itching Hands in Public Places

Since I was in my mid-20s, I have had a strange thing happen when I touch hand railing in public places. My hands will suddenly begin to itch, burn, and tingle. They have turned red and swollen. It first happened at Six Flags Over Georgia when my children were young. The more I touch the railing, the more intense the symptoms get. Similar symptoms (to a lesser degree) arise when I am running healing energy.

I have searched for medical causes of this physical sensation and found nothing that explains it. Sure, an allergy could be the cause, but allergies tend to be on-going or happen every time the person is exposed to a certain allergen. This only happens to me sometimes and only when I have touched wooden or metal railing that other people have handled. I have no skin allergies or dermatitis.

Knowing how sensitive I am to energy, and how I am constantly transmuting negative energy of the collective consciousness (with the help of St. Germain's violet flame of transmutation), it occurred to me last week at the zoo when the symptoms arose that I am picking up on the energy of people who have left an energetic imprint on the railing. I am aware of the ESP gift of psychometry, in which a person can read the energy of another person by holding an object belonging to that person. There must be some correlation with this rail touching.

I don't do psychic readings or offer that service. So, it's not surprising that I don't get any information about a particular person when these "hand rail" symptoms occur. Probably because so many people have combined their energy on the railing that it would be nearly impossible to get just one "hit" or a reading for just one person. I believe this is a transmutation action occurring subconsciously and the symptoms are there to let me be aware of what I'm doing so I can choose to either stop doing it or do it with intention.

By the way, if I run my hands under water or touch the ground (working with elements), the symptoms subside within a minute or so.

I'm wondering if anyone else has had a similar response to picking up energy from objects that others have handled. Please share your story with us.

Telepathy: A Characteristic of a Highly Sensitive Person

A type of energetic communication is employed whenever empathy is in operation. This subconscious or telepathic connection is what transfers information when you tap into the thoughts, feelings, or illnesses of others—even those of spirits that do not have a physical body (distinguishing between spirits).

Unfortunately, our society, Hollywood movies, and religious programming have caused many to believe that the unseen realm either does not exist or is something to be terribly afraid of. None of these sources can be trusted when they present ideas that conflict with your personal experience.

Empaths already possess the ability to pick up non-verbal information. I foresee a day when we will all be able to read one another’s minds, which means some of us are going to be quite embarrassed when we are unable to lie to one another. I share this next story to show you how innocently and easily telepathy operates.

As my husband handed me a letter, he said, “Guess who I saw today?”

Looking at the return address I thought it read, Hughes. “Wow! I haven't heard from Leslee Hughes in a long time,” I said as I opened the letter.

Then I realized the mail was from a client named Hinkes. Bewildered at how I could have seen Hughes on the envelope, I laid it aside and asked my husband, “So, who did you see today?”

“You just said her name. I saw Leslee Hughes.”

I had telepathically retrieved that name from my husband’s mind. My third eye confirmed the answer by causing my physical eyes to see her name on the envelope. Empathic people can increase this telepathic ability as they develop their intuition.

Chat with the Partner of a Highly-Sensitive Person

Tomorrow is the day Randall Hawk will talk to the partners and family of empaths about how to support the highly-sensitive person in their lives.

Even though you are trying your best to manage the emotional energy around you, there are times when you could use some support from the loved ones in your life. If there is someone in your life that you love dearly who just doesn't seem to understand your sensitivities, you won't want to miss this opportunity to talk to the partner of a seasoned empath and gain insight on how to help you manage emotional energy.

Randall Hawk is the husband of Yvonne Perry, who is the author of Whose Stuff Is This? Finding Freedom from the Thoughts, Feelings, and Energy of Those Around You. During the 13 years he has lived with Yvonne, Randall has watched her transform from an overwhelmed and untrained empath to one who is now successfully teaching others how to manage energy. Randall has been a strong support for Yvonne on her path as a highly-sensitive person (HSP) and has gained keen insight to help partners of empaths learn coping skills that make this path easier for both partners.

Animal Empath Rescues a Lizard

At the zoo this week, a blue-tailed lizard was being aggressively pursued by a class of kindergarten-aged children. The frightened little fellow didn't know which way to turn as at least two dozen hands were grabbing at him from all directions.

Remaining calm, I kept repeating to the boys and girls: "Let him go!! DON'T step on him! He is afraid just like you would be if someone was chasing you!" The lizard darted from one precarious position to another, even running under the toes of a sneaker, seeking refuge.

My main animal totem is a lizard and this is likely why this little creature connected with me and understood that I was trying to help him as I sent him mental messages of which way to turn. When the teacher or guardian of the class finally ordered the curious students to let him go (before the red-headed woman had a conniption fit) the lizard stopped right at my feet and the class retreated. He was breathing hard in panic mode and yet when I squatted next to him, he didn't dart away as he had with the children. I touched his blue tail and gently spoke to him as I maneuvered him into the safety of the grass under a park bench.

I know kids are curious, and this is normal behavior for them. However, a highly-sensitive person is likely to have a greater reaction to something like this incident than a person who is not an empath. In fact, many empaths tend to rescue animals even when they do not have the means to support them long-term. Have you experienced a situation like this?

Clairvoyance and the Highly Sensitive Person

Clairvoyance has to do with vision. When the brain picks up a thought impulse, it is transmitted as a vision, symbol, image, or color using the mind's eye. The clairvoyant empath may have the ability to read auras—the energy surrounding a person, animal, or object—or see chakras.

It is not uncommon for highly sensitive people to be able to see a wider spectrum of visual range than is typical for most people. Some report seeing angels, ghosts, demons, orbs of light, and other non-physical beings. Some are inclined to having dreams and visions that depict future events.

Several Old and New Testament prophets (Daniel, John the Revelator, Joseph) had this ability. In the last days of the Piscean Age many more people have the gift of prophecy.

Comments are welcome on this blog. How has clairvoyance operated in your life as an empath?

Help for Partners of Empaths

You know you are an empath, and you have a pretty good idea how this "gift" is operating in your life. You are trying your best to manage the emotional energy around you, but there's this one person you love dearly who just doesn't seem to understand your sensitivities. He or she tells you to just toughen up and stop being so sensitive. What if that person could talk to the partner of a seasoned empath and gain insight on how to help you manage emotional energy? Well, here is your chance!

Randall Hawk is the husband of Yvonne Perry, who is the author of Whose Stuff Is This? Finding Freedom from the Thoughts, Feelings, and Energy of Those Around You and Walk-Ins Among Us. During the 13 years he has lived with Yvonne, Randall has watched her transform from an overwhelmed and untrained empath to one who is now successfully teaching others how to manage energy. Randall has been a strong support for Yvonne on her path as a highly-sensitive person (HSP) and has gained keen insight to help partners of empaths learn coping skills that make this path easier for both partners.

Clairsentience and the Highly Sensitive Person

Clairsentience has two aspects: knowing and feeling. A clairsentient person may pick up a thought and “know” something without having prior information about another person or situation (message of knowledge or wisdom). This precognitive aspect of the gift may come as hunches, dreams, gut feelings, and knowings that predict future events that happen in reality, or insight into present situations (prophecy). A person with the feeling aspect of the clairsentient gift can pick up a thought and transform it into a feeling. They can also heal others in this manner.

Clairaudience and the Highly Sensitive Person

Clairaudience has to do with clear hearing. A clairaudient person may pick up an energetic impulse from another person’s thoughts and hear it either internally in their mind or as an audible voice. Many Bible prophets, including Jesus Christ, had this ability.

A highly-sensitive person has keen abilities to sense energy. Many of them are able to hear things that are inaudible to others such as hearing the thoughts someone is thinking, or hearing voices in their own head. It’s easy to see why our society, which believes in the Newtonian theory that only what can be experienced with the five senses is real, tends to label a clairaudient person as having a mental disorder. Most empaths function at high levels and have very good common sense. They simply have an ability that others “think” is abnormal. And you know what happens then? Religions, cultures, families, the media, etc. believes that if something can’t be explained, it must be avoided, criticized, or exorcized!

Rather than fighting your gift, learn to use it as a spiritual tool. Check out Whose Stuff Is This? ~ Finding Freedom from the Thoughts, Feelings, and Energy of Those Around You.

Characteristics of an Untrained Empath: Heart Palpitations, Anxiety, & Headaches

“What’s wrong with me, doc?” I asked as I sat on the examination table in the emergency room of a clinic. “My heart is pounding, my head is spinning, and I feel like I’m going to pass out. I haven’t done anything out of the norm.”

“I can’t find a thing wrong with you,” he said. “You must be having an anxiety attack or allergic reaction to something.”

“I had a root canal last week and nearly fainted. The dentist said I am allergic to Novocain. Could that be it?”

“Have you had these symptoms continuously since then?”

“No, they came up suddenly this afternoon.”

“Are you taking any kind of medication?”

“Nothing but Tylenol. I still have a headache.”

“What were you doing when the symptoms started?”

“Praying.”

The doctor had no explanation. He gave me some Benadryl and sent me home. I slept the rest of the day.

My symptoms were energetically related. Most medical doctors do not understand how the energy from one person can affect another person and cause physical pain or emotional distress.

Before I had a label to put on my empathetic ability, I called myself an intercessor or “surrogate” for carrying the burdens of others to the throne of grace—a noble and worthy cause. As I prayed for the entire city on a daily basis, I picked up on the energy of thousands of people and took on the suffering of many of them. However, I didn’t realize what was happening.

Emotions such as fear, anger, and frustration are energies. Like a virus, you can potentially “catch” them from people without realizing it. Empathic people can be psychic sponges that absorb energy everywhere they go. I was so energy sensitive that if I heard an ambulance siren, I would feel instant panic. If I came upon an accident scene or a homeless person, I cried. If I saw an open wound, I would feel an electric shock all over my body. In traffic, I felt the anger and frustration of my fellow drivers so bad that my throat would close up and I could not swallow. When I was in my prayer closet, I would cry, groan, shake, and travail on behalf of others. These and similar scenarios were so common for me that I thought everyone felt this way. I had no idea that I was an empath. I had never heard of such a thing.

Since then, I’ve become a coach to those who are going through what I experienced in the 1990s. If you are interested in working with me, please contact me to set up a time that we can chat to see if coaching is right for you.

Why Ignore Your Intuition? It Could Save Your Life!

How many times have you said or thought, “If I had only listened to myself, such and such would not have happened?” Your intuition is an aspect of divine guidance—our higher consciousness or spirit talking to us. By ignoring our intuition, situations do not generally turn out as well as they could have. For example, I needed more yarn to complete a crochet project. K-Mart is about two miles away and I was pretty certain I had seen yarn there. That little voice in my head told me I should call first to make sure they sell yarn or else go directly to the Wal-Mart, which is about five miles in the opposite direction. I was in a hurry so I went to the closer store first, only to find that they no longer sell yarn. I ended up wasting time and gas because I ignored my intuition.

That was a minor inconvenience compared to what could have happened in 2005 when I was having problems with my bowels. I called my doctor, who did a non-invasive test that showed absolutely nothing out of the ordinary. He dismissed my condition, calling it chronic diarrhea. Not satisfied with his diagnosis, I listened to my body, followed my intuition, and sought a second opinion. This doctor performed a colonoscopy, which revealed polyps and a large tumor in my colon. Immediate surgery was planned and about eight inches of my colon was removed. Had I ignored my intuition that time, the tumor could have developed into a cancerous mass. By the way, the formation of the tumor was not a result of carrying anyone else’s energy at that time. It was a cumulative detrimental effect from all the years I stuffed my true “gut” feelings. When this came up for healing, I had to get rid of it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Doctors and counselors don't know it exists, much less how to treat it, but empathic overload is a very real problem to energy-sensitive people. Many unknowingly pick up detrimental energy from their environment and other people and carry this negativity as if it were their own.

This book provides exercises and information to help empaths find relief from emotional storms and empathic fatigue in Whose Stuff Is This? Finding Freedom from the Thoughts, Feelings, and Energy of Those Around You.
