Lord, save me from "empaths"

Image
"I am an empath."  The cry of the New Age citizen. Everyone is an empath to some degree- unless you are a Droid. The word empathetic is in our vocabulary. We all pick up emotions, non verbal cues, vibes. It is part of our communication systems as humans. And yes some of us are more sensitive, at times, than others. And that can make you a high maintenance person because the assumption (these days) is that if you are a "sensitive" of some sort that everyone around you has to take that into account with every word they utter, every action they take. Whew. What a burden. And what a drag!  Add to this that empaths tend to call everyone who does not  make the empath's needs  a priority, a narcissist. Isn't this the pot calling the kettle black. ?  I mean really. If you are a highly sensitive empathic person, then you have some extra work to do, just like if you are someone who tends to put on weight easily. The latter does not insist that everyone serve diet fo...

Dragon Riders

Image
Raising your Spiritual energy is a life changer. As your talents, gifts and skills skyrocket, so will your sensitivities. Do not be in a rush, let Spirit handle your development.  As you grow, you will find your tolerance level for nonsense dropping. Spending time in social drinking, or inane conversations will become an anathema instead of a fun way to spend an afternoon.  When you can read minds, then you have to learn to have superficial conversations in spite of what you pick up. Sometimes what you pick up will slip out in conversation and you will find yourself losing "friends" who now find you too intense, or too honest for comfort.  Planetary transits can rock you and solar storms send you to bed. To be dragon rider of the energies, you need a a place to land, a place to come home. Your center. Without that you are a buoy in a raging ocean. Not only on Earth, but once your light shines, entities look at you like chocolate cake. Lost spirits will congregate, some ...

After the "Great Awakening"....... now what.....

Image
We Americans love "the big moment" and in fact we typically search for more and more.....we are "big moment" junkies.  Especially in the New Age Industry-- and it is now definitely an industry.  We meet our Archangel, we discover our  "purpose" (which of course has to be bigger than being a rosebush or a hummingbird, lol).  We need to be big, important, special-- especially in the eyes of others. We long to hold workshops, we deposit accolades in our emotionally bankrupt bank accounts, we collect of proof of our spirituality (or even of our existence) to post (humbly) on Facebook and graciously in the most self effacing efforts we can muster, thank our followers.  Whew. We are busy........ constructing an existence, a meaning, and of course being busy means we really don't have to be too present, or feel our feelings. In my reality, once you truly get on a Path, you are busy.... with a Practice!  And "big moments" filter through each day as...

I love you.....therefore I exist

Image
Modern love. FaceBook status updates. I tell you what I know you want to hear. So I can feel your heart swell.... because of me... of what I said, or gave, or did..... for you.  I tell you I love you on FB so others can know.... that I am part of you, your scene, your accomplishments, and your circle. That because I love you..... I exist. That you exist, for me to love so I can define my perimeters.  I find my existence in my love for you. Do you spend time together.... real time ?  Where people fart, get bored , have really dark sad days sometimes and you come over to eat popcorn or go to the hot springs the next day.  Can you love those who have no accomplishments, are not networked into some industry (new age, healer, author, body work, artist, psychic, coach, etc etc).  Is it someone you love when you are not needy ..... and you call because you just love to talk to each other?   Are you one of the secret friends...... the one they all come crawling...

Nothing others do is because of you...... Really ? Spirit or Sociopath

Image
I love the concept of the 4 agreements and the idea of not to take things personally. Taken out of context, and without the courage born out of a personal daily spiritual practice,  this concept can help on develop the sociopathic values of not caring about any one other than one's self,  rather than developing Spiritual Detachment. I have often been recruited by Spirit to participate in someone else's lesson. And I love (not really) how people use this excuse to justify their actions...... that they they were simply used by Spirit in the situation, and it is not about them at all. It all happened as a lesson for the Other Person.  Really ?  I my self have stepped out of many lessons where I felt Spirit was going to "use" me to deliver a "lesson" to another person.  When I stepped out, I always saw that Spirit happily replaced me with another player and the Other Person was still given his/her lesson. If you stay and participate, then you were there to l...

Simran: Self Love or Self Hate

Image
Simran (from Wikipedia):  is Punjabi word derived from the Sanskrit word स्मरण ( smaraṇa , "the act of remembrance , remembrance, reminiscence, recollection") which leads to the realization of that which is of the highest aspect and purpose in one's life. It is the continuous remembrance of the finest aspect of the self, or the continuous remembrance (or feeling) of God, thus used for introducing spirituality . This state is maintained continuously while carrying out the worldly works outside. Simran is remembrance and we either remember our Higher Self and Spirit, or we remember everything bad about our self and our actions.  One is Spiritual Simran, the other is Lower Body Simran. Whether we are aware of it or not we perform Simran all day, every day. We have continuous thoughts all day about who we are, what we think about our self, our actions, behaviors, character traits, etc.  Unconscious lower body Simran usually includes self criticism and can lead to dep...

Women who run with the wolves-- not so easy!

Image
It's hard to be a shiny person !    A woman who runs with the wolves...... even fellow sisters often do not accept the sexual outspoken beautiful yin-ness of the wolfy being.  And it can be hard to find a wolf pack to run with. Many wolf women are wild because they are unbalanced-- just like many quiet women. It's just that the quiet women, the ones beaten and bruised, they manage to fly under the radar as it is more acceptable to be a quiet survivor ... especially if you are a woman.  Passive aggressive wildness is the current norm--- particularly in the professional world and the world of business.  Out front straight out behavior is (except perhaps is NYC-- my home town) is not so acceptable. While the quiet ones have to learn to have a voice, wolfy women have to find outlets for their voice-- as muggle society has little room for the wolfy's.  Singing with the sister moon. Being a wolf woman has pitfalls. Many want to hang with them ...

Mmmm Mmmmm Good - The dangers of meditation

Image
Lower body sensations-- yum !  Food, wine, women/men, sensuality.  What does that have to do with Spirituality ?  I see everything as the yin/yang sign. Everything has good and challenge in it. As we meditate we increase our energy field and our sensitivities. We can see, feel, or hear Spirits, Ancestors, Mother Earth and revel in it. Our lower body sensations will also increase and we are tempted to seek out Earth Pleasures above and before our Spiritual Ascension. We abandon friends for fame, drink rather than meditate, lie to keep the peace rather than seek to deepen through honesty, etc. There is a thin line here. As we evolve, so does temptation. Like the yin/yang sign, the dark and light are always in balance here on Earth as part of our Journey is a constant choice between temptation and ascension.   They are not mutually exclusive, but rather a sophisticated balancing act as we strive for detachment. We learn to enjoy Earth without becoming trapped b...

Reality

Image
We tune into Spirit. In a meditation we FEEL we are the Light. We get our Purpose and commune with our Angels and Guides. Still every morning the alarm rings. We get up, go to work, face traffic... and people, make mistakes, etc . What is the point. Meditation allows us to feel better, and re-connecting with Spirit is good and fun. However we came into a human body for a reason. Balls of light cannot feel emotions in order to learn about suffering, compassion, or joy. Yet so many seek to escape the very life they set up with their Guides before coming here to earth. How can that be ?  Why do we choose something then have a melt down when it happens ?   If we think about it, this is not so unusual. How many times during pregnancy have women had hours or days of panic, worry or downright disgust because of the feelings or circumstances surrounding pregnancy and wish they could bail ? How many times have new parents "suffered" through the first year of a colicky baby...

Channeling Spirit Guides

Image
We all have Guides. However Guides are just that.... guides. They cannot live our lives for us, remove our lessons, or replace our human relationships. Well, they can, but it is not healthy or balanced.  Sort of like eating a menu is not the same as eating the meal itself. Balance is key in all aspects of life and balance is a work of art, a process, not a static position.  Many spiritual folks are quite uncomfortable around humans. Often spiritual folks have had a rough childhood filled with alienation, alcoholism or abuse. This forces the child to not trust Earth resources or relationships and hopefully steers the adult into some kind of spiritual outreach or practice for healing. As an adult, one can grow up out of balance if one has not sought out healing and/or if one has gone too far into spiritual solutions as a way to escape or manage pain and fear issues. People who Channel spirits and who are not in balance, can use their Guides as crutch, speaking more to "Them" ...
