This gift of life is so fascinating. The process of awakening to our spiritual truth and discovering our own individual interpretations of the divine is something that I find so very fascinating. We are all experiencing different states of awareness, each of us with our own energy signature and at different frequencies. So juicy. We are all delicious in our uniqueness. I offer gratitude each and every morning for this path, this day and for each breath. I appreciate each present moment for what it is. I try to not look back (unless doing shadow work) or to look too far ahead (planning excluded of course!). I work diligently at remaining present so that fear and all of her little sisters and brothers do not destroy my inner peace and calm. All of this to say that I rarely look back at my progression. It's not something that I actually spend chunks of time pondering about. It simply is. I have evolved. Each of us has evolved. You are not the same person that you were yesterday, nor are you the same person that you were 5 years ago...or even 20, are you? Why spend time looking back to simply rejoice in awe when you are simply wasting away the present?! Live in the now! Celebrate yourself in this very moment. I was reminded of this while reading social media this morning. Scrolling through my morning newsfeed, reading posts from the people that I have known for years, I was reminded of a much younger me. I slipped into nostalgia. This younger me who was learning to assert herself, to own her space and to navigate in a world so different than the one she felt. In that moment, I sent the former me a big squishy hug. Living in your heart is very different from living in your head. Those of us who operate from heart are known as sensitives. We wound easily until we learn the necessity of grounding and shielding. However, it should also be noted that being sensitive is also often confused with being empathic. We are all empathic by nature. When we are born we are innocent, open and are still closest to source energy. It's the muddy debris of this earth school that clouds this natural ability and the many gifts that branch from this knowledge. That's the beauty of this life. We are here to remember and feel. It's simple. We are here to open and flower like the lotus. This is our awakening and for each one of us it is a different process. With a lot of personal work...we learn to open our energy centers. When a pinnacle age is reached and assuming that life is without trauma, the centers develop naturally and in their own time. There are rarely perfect circumstances in earth school. Most of us have to really plug away at it. After all, we create a lot of our own blockages in how we process, intuit and so we may open up, only to shut down again. We are here to learn and feel through lessons that can sometimes bring great pain, but also will bring great joy. There is an equilibrium in each lesson, with each choice made...this is what the soul knows before agreeing to earth school. Most of the population walks through this life with only the first three energy centers functioning, blockages, imbalances and all. When this happens and the other centers are blocked, the heart chakra has created a sort of "plug" so that the energy does not reach the upper chakras. Simply put, heart is key. For those with an open heart, you will of course feel things much deeper than someone who has built walls around their heart. Just like any energy center, the heart chakra can be inactive, under-active... and of course, the heart chakra can also be over-active. Again, this is where learning to work with your own energy is key. All of this is to say that for anyone with a case of the constant feels...it is easy to find feeling so intensely all of the time overwhelming. I have two suggestions that have helped me immensely. It requires effort and practise to master, but it is so worth it. 1. Learn how to ground yourself. Grounding techniques are imperative. Try as many as you can find until you happen upon one that works for you. Remember that we are all unique! What will work for you might not work for me... and vise versa. Learn how to do this on your own without the use of special tools. Listen to your body and your energy. Learn a technique that will help you to connect and ground. Although incredibly effective, you shouldn't always rely on hematite or some other grounding stone. Whoa, whoa, whoa...not that I'm knocking hematite! Trust me...I own enough to sink a ship! Like with anything, learn to walk the walk so that you are better able to talk the talk...if that makes sense. Through the use of visualizations and with some practise, grounding will become effortless and a part of the natural flow...much like breathing. Once you can do this on your own, then occasionally lean on special extras, tumbled stones and jewellery. Reserve them instead for special moments or extremely difficult times. You won't need them but they will provide additional support. Treat them as sprinkles to your grounding sundae. Yes, treat them as sprinkles. (I have a penchant for sprinkles...) 2. Learn how to shield yourself. Don't do it as a means of protection. That in itself is a negative. Intent is always key. The intention is not to provide yourself with protection....because that would indicate that you are in some sort of peril. That's not what we want to do here. Think of it as preserving your energy. Zip up your main meridian line. Fill your aura with golden light. Wrap yourself in divine white light. Keep your vibration high and focus on positive things. This is how you shield yourself. Do some research and find something that resonates with your energy. Again, you are unique! You are never too sensitive. Learn how to ground yourself, shield and stay open! Keep that heart out! Live from heart and love, love, love! Love and light to all! xo

You don’t need protection. There are many tried and true ways to protect you from negative energies. You can find many articles on-line about protection from negativity. For me, any article like this will always open up a bit of a discussion... If we are happy and in balance, secure and in control of our space, thus maintaining a high vibration, there should be no need for protection. Following the law of attraction, the act of believing that we need this protection will draw that lower energy to us. We will then create this "need" for protection. We will effectively draw a lower vibration to ourselves. By needing protection you are not owning your space....you are giving away your power. To need protection stems from fear. Whether spoken or unspoken, words/wording are powerful and effectively creates intent. Your intention should never stem from fear. It should stem from love. Focus instead on staying grounded. Do this not to "protect yourself" from negative energies, but as an act of love unto yourself. To remain clean and clear so that you can continue to raise your vibration and grow is one of the greatest acts of self-love. There are a myriad of suggestions on-line and they are all very effective ways of keeping your energy at an optimum level. Just choose your base wisely. Choose from love. Move away from fear. You don't need protection. You have the power. Raising your level of awareness and your vibration will take care of this for you. Simple. |
