Taking a Day Off

I stayed in all day today, have been struggling with a bit of a cold but I think it's more of a deep blue feeling that is cramping my style. My stomach had been hurting for a while, and I can feel pain and tension in my solar plexus.

After about 5 hours chilling at home, watching TV and daydreaming my tummy relaxed and it hasn't hurt again. So that's good, I think I gave myself a day to recharge and get better. I was sick this week, missed a day at work and sorta trudged through the rest.

My orange chakra is also healing itself, but more than anything I think I need to learn to separate myself from others so that I can interact with them emotionally without taking stuff on. Lately I find that I worry too much about how others feel, if they're comfortable, and I can sometimes feel their emotions.

The book I'm reading talk about the sacral chakra (under your belly button!) and how naturally empaths will absorb other people's problems, stress and anxiety. They relieve them of their troubles, but take the pain on themselves. I've always lived in my own bubble, and as selfish as it might sound I'd never been one to fall for that sacral chakra trap. 

Learning to deal with people when you're open psychically can be a challenge, you take stuff on when you probably don't need to. It can be a real challenge learning to separate, and let them solve their own problems. It was so much easier when I floated around in oblivion but now that the blinds are off I can't put them back on.

I've had to take breaks from friends, colleagues, etc to recharge my batteries. But it's time that I start paying more attention to my aura's boundaries, and to the flow of energy going through my chakras. It's cool to help people find their way, but we're not really equipped to take on other people's problems, even if it's just energetically.

My 1st Psychic Development Class - 10 Years Ago!

In January of 2010, I signed up for my first clairvoyance workshop. Feeling curious but skeptical - would I be able to do any of the activities in the class description???    That skepticism disappeared by lunchtime when we finished the first exercise. The teacher put us in pairs and guided us through a meditation where we each visited the place where the other student lived.   We began by activating our Aura, and through it, our intuition .  The teacher then asked a series of questions: do they live in a city, what do you see in the street, how far from the neighbors, what color is the building, do you walk right through the front door into their home or is it a journey? The questions continued - how many bedrooms, how are they decorated, what is in the fridge, what is the view like? How many people live there? Do they have pets? What type of music do they listen to, etc.  When we came out of the meditation, the teacher told us to describe what...

Does sharing have to be selfless or painful?

One of the things that I have had to let go of is the idea that if we help someone, it has to be 100% altruistic - in order for the action to be good. I don’t know if this is an idea that I adopted in childhood seeing others hold up selflessness as good - “give till it hurts” etc. The world would be a much better place if we knew that it is always in our benefit to help others. We always get something in return, directly or indirectly 💛 🫶🏻 Research shows that kindness makes for a much healthier society. I read a book last year called Shadow, Self & Spirit on transpersonal (or collective) psychology. There was a chapter on the psychology of evil and violence. People are less likely to harm others if they experience some form of compassion in their lives, or if they believe that someone cares about them - even if it’s a public figure, a politician, a celeb, or a deity like Quan Yin. Or better yet, family members, friends, and strangers. Random acts...

Is Manifesting for Real?

A while ago I wrote a post asking if spirit guides are real - pointing out that we have to challenge our beliefs, and also how we interpret what happens to us. Let's not get stuck in an idea or a worldview.  So today I'm going to take this approach to manifesting - is it for real? I don't think manifesting is for real, nor should it be the main focus in our lives. And honestly, I say this despite evidence to the contrary in my own life, i.e. things that I've manifested.   My issue with manifesting is that it's focused on ourselves, and what we can get in the material world. Personally, I've had good results applying conventional methods to get ahead - with help from my angels and guides. But still, it took drive and ambition to find a good corporate job in London, years ago. That and focusing on my personal competencies, and on the soft skills that were needed. Putting myself out there, networking, knocking on doors. Real world activities. And luck, that is a...
