You are not Too much

What a beautiful gift of life we have been given. Each moment we have the freedom of choice, thoughts, emotions and knowledge. No matter where we are in the world we have the ability to live in our own unique energetic way.

It is our uniqueness that brings such a richness to this plane of existence and so it baffles me that many of us are searching for ways to dim that light with monotone. Even worse we have this knee jerk reaction to always belittle ourselves. I can not believe how many people I see that are so convinced that their 'energy' is so bad! Let's clear up this misconception!

I completely understand when we are in a funk, we feel out of balance, or even crusty, that within ourselves it is uncomfortable and sometimes even unbearable. We are not 'bad', we may not feel good, but in the grand scope of things there is not good or bad. We are simply 'where we are'. Yes others can tell that you may not be vibrationally matched with them, you may even give them the willies energetically speaking, but that does not make you bad or too much to handle. Noticing this unbalance in yourself simply means you are ready to grow and expand from your box.....if you want to, on your terms, by your choice and at your speed.

Life wasn't designed for sameness anywhere and we are no different. It is a learning expedition full of twists and turns, colours and magic. Our frequencies are wonderfully different and full of knowledge and potential! We crave balance in an environment that is prone to extremism, but to think that it will all look the same is preposterous.

What works for one usually won't be the secret recipe for another. Find what speaks to you, and adapt it to work for YOU. Free yourself from self judgment and understand that you are perfect as you are in this moment and should you FEEL like some help and support is needed, then seek it on your terms. The fear that you are too much to handle and your going to 'blow up' your energy worker is a fabrication of the mind.

As every energy worker I have had the pleasure of sharing space with knows, we all have our own unique blend and technique that we work with and through, and non of it is better than, less than, good, bad or indifferent. It simply is and we embrace our unique styles.

We are where we are. Rainbows of experience blessing this plane with our idiosyncrasies.

Being an Empath is a gift

 Now more than ever it feels as though the number of Empaths are on the rise, that or more of us are becoming aware of our empathetic connections. Either way, here we are and though it may not feel like it, it truly is a blessing!

How do you know if you are an Empath? I believe we all are in some way, but here are some great indicators!

• Crowded spaces make you uncomfortable
• You've always been told you are too sensitive
• You feel what others feel even before they tell you
• Negativity overwhelms you
• You have digestive and fatigue issues
• Being in public overwhelms you 
• Narcissists bother you
• You get bored easily

These are just a few of the Empath traits, but the one that stands out above all else is how we 'take on' other peoples' stuff!
 Most people feel that that is just part of being an Empath and there is nothing we can do about it. For many this means they withdraw socially and build themselves into a cocoon. Most have decided that they 'hate' people. Others will turn to controlling everything and everyone around them just so they have a sense of control. Many will become 'people pleasers' because they sense that that is what is expected of them. All are ways of coping with feelings that are not their own, but they don't know how to deal with it and it can reek havoc on our lives!

As an Empath I have struggled with all of these and more! Though it felt like a burden at first, I have learned to use it to my benefit! As an Energy worker I deal with all kinds of energy and being an Empath enables me to receive guidance more easily, I can judge the air in a room better, and know whether an idea will be well received or if I should keep it to myself!LOL

I have found that through intention I can limit how much I take on. So while in sessions I make it clear that I hang on to nothing, but receive just enough to guide me for the betterment of my client.

My next big step is I take that which is within myself, and radiate that out. What do I mean by that? Well it is simple, energy runs in both directions (all directions really). Like a highway running north and south, you can travel in either direction just turn the car around!
We all have a gift that is true to us. That one thing within us that is always trying to greet everyone!
For me it is Joy. Now I wasn't impressed by this gift at first. My ego wanted for something 'more', but everywhere I went I had always been told how everyone could feel my Joy, even when I couldn't! Our gifts always show themselves! In time I realized what a gift it truly is and I am so grateful that it is my gift!

So not only can I take on and feel those around me, but the opposite is also true.  I simply reverse the flow of energy. I allow the energy within myself to now emanate from myself, sending out waves of love, compassion and Joy!! It takes some practise, but it took practise to keep yourself submerged in the onslaught of emotional poo too. It didn't happen overnight for me. I had to become aware of it first, trust myself to know what was mine and what wasn't, be willing to let all that wasn't mine go, and then practise. It is a practise, but such a rewarding one. When I started I began to feel lighter, I felt like I was able to flow through life better. It has truly impacted every part of my life for the better.

So you don't need to be the emotional sponge soaking up every ones poo, unless you want to, you can be, and deserve to be, the fresh air in your own life!!
We are all more powerful than we realize!
