When I started herb school, one of the teachers mentioned having a meltdown the day after eating a pint of ice cream. She knew it would happen, from experience, but really wanted the ice cream. I remember thinking “Really? Distraught on the bathroom floor just from eating ice cream?” Then the class did an elimination-provocation diet, and wow!
Here we are! We made it to the third part of this series.
My hope is that you have gained insight regarding many of the physical and mental characteristics of being empathic and feel more empowered moving forward. Now we will evaluate common emotional characteristics of an empath/sensitive person.
In the first part of this series, we discussed the physical attributes that I have found in common with many empaths that I’ve worked with.
While it’s true that no one description can encompass the vast array of individuals with energetic awareness, I feel it’s important that we look at commonalities because then we may be able to learn something about the patterns and challenges that often accompany energetically sensitive people.
By this stage of the game, I’m grateful to be able to say that I’ve utilized my intuitive abilities to assess the physical and energetic bodies of thousands of people—both on the ambulance and in my private practice.
I have had countless clients come to me because they feel things very deeply, and they can’t seem to separate their own emotions from those of other people. They want to feel better, but don’t know exactly how to do it.
Cancer Full Moon—Jan. 1, 2018
Happy New Year! Happy Full Moon in Cancer!
In astrology, the Moon represents the storehouse of all the emotions from all the experiences we’ve ever had. And because the sign of Cancer represents home, ancestry, and lineage, it is where the Moon has the strongest link with our past.
Podcasts are a great way to get much-needed advice when you don’t have the time to do personal research, can’t sit down to read a book, or don’t know where to start. Having trouble in a relationship? Want to learn how to be optimistic? Interested in hearing an inspirational story?
Astrologer Andrew Bryant chats with Basmati about what the Capricorn Full Moon has in store this month!
When things get ugly, really ugly, we can feel called to put up our defenses and shut off our emotions as a means to cope with overwhelm. For the sensitive soul, that is like putting on a blindfold and walking through a busy city intersection. It’s not a good idea to cut off a sense you previously relied on, just when you need it most.
Instead, I want to call on you to become even more sensitive in challenging times.
Here are some key ways to do that without losing your mind.
We are energy, and our Self is not limited to the insides of our body. We have a bio-magnetic energy field that essentially goes on forever (hence our ability to potentially be conscious of all of existence of which we are apart of), like a candle’s light goes on forever – although this is most prevalent and potent to our perceptible experience within the auric field extending around our body.
We explored using Mantra as a tool for staying Sensitive in a not so sensitive world in the first part of the ‘staying sensitive’ series.
Now, I would like to go deeper into using meditation to stay sensitive and process all that is perceived by the sensitive soul.
The yogis say a thousand thoughts are thought with each blink of the eye and those we don’t act upon are dumped in the subconscious mind. Even though the subconscious mind is vast, it can fill up and affect our unconscious or conscious mind and eventually disrupt the physical body as well.
