7 Tips for an Empath

Posted in Collective Consciousness, Spirituality, WellnessTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 6 Comments

When I first wrote about being an empath, there wasn’t much on the internet sans a few articles. I have come to much of my own discoveries though trial and error, which has been a dazzling, intense process.

I’m just scratching the surface with this as this blog is my service. I have yet to make money off of it, the ads come from WordPress, not me. To clarify, being an empath is different from being empathetic. All humans have empathy and can be empathetic, unless they’re a psychopath. Where as empaths literally take on what has and is happening around them, including from others. Like a mirror to the environment they can feel people, places and events, even things that may be hidden, transforming the energy to higher vibrations. If you’re an empath know that fortifying yourself inwardly is where your true power lies and that your gift will develop to more than being an empath over time.

There are many skeptics in the world and people in status quo mindset and trying to explain what being an empath is can be futile, for you may be laughed at, as I have. Ironically, the same people who used to make fun of me, now copy off of me and my lifestyle. So, don’t let other people’s opinions of you make you become withdrawn, especially if you can feel their energies towards you and they’re not positive. You are an alluring, magnetic light with an amazing ability. Use it to empower and charge you and those around you. Just know that you know. You may attract people and become a trusted confidant, creating influence in individual and group connections, which I have seen in my own experience. I hope to see more scientific, metaphysical and psychological research into empaths in our upcoming future.

1. ENVIRONMENT:

World-Environment-Day

It is easy for empaths to adapt because of the ability to assimilate to the environment, making travel easy. Because empaths reflect others, getting sucked into other people’s fields and intentions can happen, discern the energies so as not to get swayed into something that goes against your principles. When out in public, hold and impress energy instead of always reflecting the environment. Once able to hold, presence becomes more purified, brilliant and stronger as the ability develops. Grounding and exercise are vital to finding peace within chaos and empaths tend to feel EMF’s. Be in nature if you feel bombarded. It’s understandable empaths may feel distracted even labeled add, adhd or other labels.

If you’re taking something on of someone’s  and it’s uncomfortable, you can notice it and don’t have to absorb it or play it out. It’s not yours to become. Of course we can sense douchebagery, bullshit, superficiality and misaligned intentions a mile away. That’s ok. Certain people may loathe you because of this, don’t take that on either. Just know others have their journey and stuff to work through, even if you can sense it, it’s not yours to judge. Instead, have compassion if you can.

2. PROCESSING:

 

01 Empath — Sensitive, Kind, Loving

Empaths may need more sleep than average because of the processing that is done in sleep and the levels we take on energy. Empaths may also be more in tune with other worlds, in dreamtime or even waking time. My brilliant teachers said, I travel the Lokas, or other worlds. If you’re an empath and working in these realms, our language is limited in these arenas, again, that’s ok, you know what is being worked on in those levels. When you need the hibernation and internalizing time, don’t be afraid to state that and set proper boundaries. Since we have such a caring nature it can also take a toll on our life force if our energy and boundaries are not properly respected.

3. SUBSTANCES:

spirits

Be aware with substances. Because empaths are such high level processors of the environment and the influx of thoughts and energy it’s easy to want to mask that with alcohol or other substances. Empaths will take on the energy of whatever is being ingested if not careful, so it’s easy to become what you’re drinking, smoking, taking, eating, etc. There is a reason they call alcohol spirits, because the energy or “spirits” of it are not always the most pleasant. As many people do not understand empaths, you need to know this for yourself because the explanations won’t be understood as to why your behavior may change. Moderation is KEY. Positive energy or blessing what you take can help.

4. BE IN YOUR BODY:

High vibrational energizing activities can bring your life force back into focus. Connect with someone who can understand if you need to be recharged and need positive encouragement. Other ways to be in your body or engage in the present are creative projects. Organizing. Painting. Cooking. Plant life like botanical gardens. Gong baths. Mantras. Sacred places. Music. Animals. Being around children. Foods. Yoga. SALT baths. Energy work like Reiki or Acupuncture. Parties. Exercise. Ocean. Nourishing, raw foods. Nature. Anything that brings you joy. Dancing. Laughing. Intimacy. Conversation. Connecting. Meditation. Making love. 1 glass of wine, in moderation 😉

5. CLEARING:

Many empaths are natural healers and find themselves drawn to their innate healing abilities. They may need to disengage to clear the energy they have taken on, at times, and have their space feel energetically safe. Sage is one of my favorite ways to cleanse unwanted energies over the past 10 years of burning it. Essential oils like frankincense and peppermint are really great for shifting denser vibrations into higher ones and releasing any energy that you may have taken on. Some nights I  douse my bed in lavender or frankincense spray before I get in it so that my sleep is restful and clearing. Crystals can help pull things out of the body when I lay them on me. Especially after driving in LA traffic 😉

If you’re feeling uncomfortable or heavy with someone or something else’s energy intend on it to be released and somehow, some way it will. Love is a vibration that sets everything free. I will give an easy meditation in a video next post for easy release.

When you’ve taken something on visualize it burning out with a violet flame that purifies everything on all levels.

6. PROTECT:

To protect your energy: Visualize a light coming out of either your head or your heart depending on what suits you until it envelopes your energy in an orb around you. My profound teacher, who is also an empath said to visualize golden light around you before you leave your house every morning. Once you have fortified your inner light you will be effervescent in your ability to understand and use your gift. For in it’s essence, it is a gift. And you can beam that gift forward into the universe to impress upon it instead of it always impressing upon you.

7. TUNE IN:

Van-Renselar-Abstract-art-Abstract-art

My gift has manifested in a very clear voice, sometimes images, that knows. Learning to listen to it has been a lesson. On subtle levels we know what we need to give, or not give. Tune in and trust. If you’re an empath and have taken something on, feel into it, it may have a vision, feeling, thought or smell to it. Focus and see what it carries and the energy, then breathe light into it and LET IT GO.

As my fabulous teacher said “Do not allow yourself to become a victim to it. Find something to ground yourself into your body and bring joy to you”

 

Hope this helps and I will give some more links to articles I wrote in the past about this and meditations to help below. My next post will be a guided meditation for release.

The Rainbow Children

The Rainbow Children

Posted in Collective Consciousness, Genetic REvolution, SustainabilityTagged , , , , , , , , , , , 1 Comment

Rules abandon throw them out the window for this new generation being born is one that has their own set of codes, our future is destined to be written by them. They’re here to break down structures that no longer suit us in the most playful way.

It’s our responsibility to listen to them, they, essentially are our teachers as much as we are their elders. The sweet voices of these children speak to me at times, especially in deep meditation, guiding me to a world of visionary wonder and belief that they wish to come to fruition.

A rainbow was captured in our hands on two separate occasions with a couple of the beautiful children I work with. As the spectrum of colors and light were dancing through and around our fingers, the joy of such naive play reminded me of the messages these children are bringing.

I say the Rainbow Children because I find their spectrum and ideals are brilliantly all-encompassing ones of tolerance, compassion, empathy and understanding, which I believe is what they come to teach us. They are the evolution of Indigo and Crystal children.
Not an expert, I’m only sharing my personal experiences and what I’ve learned thus far. Gifted myself as an Indigo/Crystal Empath I feel like a magnet for the gifted Rainbow children.

182467_162055047282666_351773829_n

These children implore us to become more than we are, do more than we’re doing at a rapid pace for the progression of a healthy, loving, peaceful and tolerant human race.
The old model of adhering to traditional codes and structures is becoming nonsensical in a world that would incite empathy, understanding and play. Which is what I believe these children are bringing.

Our world loses its color and character when everything becomes a race for money and attainment, a drying up of the colors in the drive for materialism has become our world.

The simple things derive such pleasures for these children, they teach me the revelry and color of what is important in life:
Human connection…
Playful, Loving Expressions…
Interaction in the now with joy even through the utmost disconcerting situations.

These children are highly cognitive, understand far more than we give them credit for and want personalization tailored to their individual learning modality and curve. Which I’ll expound upon more in another post. These children are gifted on levels that I can barely comprehend and their strength can come across as stubborn to us adults.

I notice that gentle firmness as well tender speaking is very important with them, in a way that makes them feel respected, understood and equal. Hugs, playing, tickling, dancing, singing, laughing and positive expression illuminates them. Independent physical imaginary action is as important to them as sitting and learning. I’ve noticed they balk at manipulative techniques, these children are highly intelligent and give back with the same force of what they are receiving. I’ve made it a commitment to speak directly to them, even if little, they are people and deserve the same level of respect that we give each other.
If not more.
They feel very deeply and can be troubled by negative energy yet also easily able to transcend it and bring in compassion. Reiki is especially helpful during stressful situations, it becomes a comfort blanket for them to surrender into.

Fear turns them away, a lacking mentality is not understood. They see a world of abundance and prosperity for all. They yearn for a world that allows for freedoms inherent to all beings, one of alive color and beauty balanced with the logical aspects of our society. Deep analysis is futile for they thrive in momentary expressions.
As the spectrum holds many colors so do these children and their individual gifts they are bringing with such sweetness and strength.

The rainbow children are highly gifted in subtle, intelligent ways.
As an empath it’s therapy being around their light and vibrancy. They are healers in their own way to old paradigm mentalities. Their messages come to me through visionary feelings.
These children are highly empathic themselves and with some I’ve noticed easy telepathy, especially during dreams and meditative states, or when holding them. This is experience I gain not only from the children I work with on a daily basis, but other children and families that are attracted into my life as well.

The children want us to be good role models, to cast away forms of fear in place of love and harmon. I know this to be true in the depths of my being. The notion I’m lead to is that perhaps it’s time for our world to be more in balance with nurturing instincts to lead these new generations. Puritanical ideas inhibit their natural growth if too controlling.

 

The children grant me hope for a happy future. I know their wishes are to live in a world of promise and unity, seeing the “fear” and “sin” replaced with knowing they are beautiful, wondrous, unique creations.

For an instant can you imagine this world that they wish for?

Of unity
Of sustainable natural resources on our planet
Of beauty
Of equality
Of happiness
Of freedom
Of peace
Of joyful expression unrestrained and brilliant.

No more quieting them, let them speak…
Do we have the patience to truly listen?

These children beg me in meditations to make rapid change, pulling my thoughts in a manner of visionary wonder of what our possibility is as a healthy future humanity.

I can tell you with certainty through visions I’ve been gifted if we keep going the rate we are at with technology progressing and our mindsets turned in a hierarchical fashion our future is dismal. In this vision I hear future generations of our grandchildren coming to to us when we are old and saying….

“Why didn’t you change more when the choice was still available?”

As a collective, it’s our choice to start making the changes in an accelerated way.

Not so much for us but these future children, unborn grandchildren, great-grandchildren and hopefully so on.

xo,
Nicole

Empathic Repatterning

Posted in Empowerment, Spirituality, WellnessTagged , , , , , , , , , , 4 Comments

Re-Patterning takes the form of releasing the shadows of self, so that the light can shine through. Opening up a can of caterpillars so that they can transform into butterflies. I believe this is one of the greatest dis-ease antidotes, as the physical body is the last place illness manifests. Studies show that re-patterning can actually shift DNA. I wish to share a snippet of my process through it with you.
While I try to refrain from labeling, for I am much more than any label, I call myself an empath, for you to gain more understanding of what I am explaining.

My body always lets me know everything that is going on, it never lies to me and I trust it explicitly. My body lets me know through intuitive feelings what is best for me, these feelings also let me know when things are positive or negative for the future or beyond. I know from my experience that my thoughts have their own frequency and resonate at different levels. Being empathic, I am able to feel exactly where my body holds every thought and feeling. The positive ones feel light and expansive, the negative ones feel like pin pricks or bullets. I don’t always understand all my empathic responses, I only know when they are released I feel amazing. When I have worked through a pattern, there is a clear feeling in my heart, stomach, back, neck or wherever I was having empathic residue.
Many of the feelings in my body are not necessarily mine, as an Empath, I take on for others what they wish to heal and sometimes cannot do themselves. Also called a lightworker, I take other’s hurt, fear, anger, insecurity, agony on to be transmuted. Without the proper release these wounds (Ment. Phys. Emot. Spir.) of others sometimes become lodged patterns within me.

My re-patterning process entails sitting in meditation. I then focus on any negative thoughts or feelings in my body and listen closely. Then something will surface, almost as though a whisper. Instead of shrugging off what I hear, which my ego wants to do, I let it come up and be heard. I will receive a memory or flash of understanding tied to a feeling and pattern of energy. Sometimes when the feeling is mine, it’s a limiting thought pattern, a belief I had held onto about myself or the world, such as “I don’t know how” or ” I don’t care”. While my conscious mind does not believe what is presented, my subconscious mind may be manifesting situations based upon these old belief patterns. After acknowledging and feeling these patterns of mine and sometimes others, I then accept, embrace and surrender them to the moment. Like little bubbles, these patterns expand and pop into the quantum field of awareness. When it is someone else’s energy lodged within me, I’ll usually get a glimpse of that person, hear their voice, or feel their presence as I release their energy. There have been times, before I knew that I was an empath that I would get very sick and not know how to release the energy. Knowledge of energetic frequencies and my own personal boundaries has allowed me to stay grounded and learn how to process for the benefit of me and the person I’m healing

I then go within and re-pattern with a belief I hold true for myself, or send love and light to it, if it is for someone else. This process includes monitoring of my thoughts and emotions, to constantly reinstate an evolving belief system.

 

After re-patterning I am in a place of higher consciousness, with awareness of the interconnectedness of everything. It’s in this place that my ego dissolves and I remember all the triviality that can seem important DOES NOT MATTER.
Stillness, silence, reflection;
Space and time slip away into a place of non-duality, where positive and negative become non-existent.
Everything just is.
Awareness behind awareness, I am a little speck glimpsing it.

All that exists is knowing, a knowing far beyond me, yet a part of me. A place of infinite love and intelligence, which is where I find my Divinity.

Attaining a broader perspective within this consciousness is what drives me to be. It takes for me to remember and bring this awareness into every aspect of my life, I aim to see it reflected in every part of every moment.
The glimpse of it can almost always be seen.

There are many ways to attain this state, every religion, philosophical and spiritual discipline have their forms, the techniques may be different, yet the place of existence remains the same. In the many attempts to gain higher consciousness the one truth is, only within is where it is found.

I am who I am constantly creating myself to be.

Nicole

Vibing with an Empath

Posted in Collective Consciousness, Spirituality, WellnessTagged , , , 10 Comments

Think of this as an escapade that we are about to take, all I ask is that you open your mind to something that is a little outside the norm. These are feelings I don’t usually address, in doing so I am taking you into a different world and part of me.
These topics I will explore over a series of posts, for a gift can manifest in many forms.

I feel it is important to discuss my gifted abilities which once were highly misunderstood by me and others. We all incorporate emotions and attributes along a gamut, we are a collective pod. Therefore, this is to give you more understanding of who I am and other light-workers, Indigo, Crystal, and star people who may have similarities. I don’t feel there is enough information out there on these types of abilities and how to further develop them, in my case I’ve noticed being an empath has developed into becoming more telepathic when I hone in on my intuition and am vibrating at a higher conscious level.

Empaths are like mirrors to the environment and people, they are able to tune into what is occurring on many levels, even sub atomic to quantum, I believe. Empaths can be very sensitive to everything that goes on around them, for it is felt deep within them. The understandings of people and environments come with a vibration, which are felt by empaths. Empaths understand others pain, sometimes to a physically debilitating point. They are able to see behind people’s words and actions to what is underneath. Empaths have a deep ability to see into people clearly, and view others psyche’s. When faced with negativity an empath will become withdrawn, quiet and introverted. When there is positivity an empath will light up with excitement and happiness.

I feel others light and beauty, which gives me hope for humanity and the survival of our species. This gift has many facets to it, far more than empathic now. It allows me to understand and see patterns. Every person has their strengths and weaknesses, helping others to see their best heals me. I am able to take energies from others so they feel better, which is what empaths do. I call it transmuting.
I can feel thoughts, actions and deeds directed at me. When one feels love, happiness, joy, freedom, acceptance, and compassion, etc, I feel unlimited in my expression with them, my heart feels glorious.
Judgement, jealousy, anger, fear, possesiveness, gossip, hatred etc. making me feel withdrawn and tired. I feel this all from far away as well, only to then feel love for the negativity and people who it is coming from. Love cancels out all negative feelings and experiences. In shamanic teachings there is a term for this, which I will get into in more detail. I can feel those I’m close with long distances.

I am able to tell when people are hiding or lying by understanding intentions, even beneath the surface. This ability as a child caused misunderstanding for others, unable to process what I didn’t know, it left me confused. This is where my introversion started to happen. I had a nature of understanding people, yet couldn’t understand my integral gift. Discerning what is mine and anothers has taken a while to develop for myself.

If we look at one another as mirrors, instead of judging, we can feel illuminated. Judgement hurts the judge and judged, so why judge?
I like to ask myself what is it that is irking me, how can I allow it to empower me?

I believe that every human has a gift, when we start opening to understanding it can help our life immensely. I believe that all people are empathic to some level. I will elaborate on more tools, techniques and ways to access your gift in the next few posts.

What is your gift dear one?

Nicole
