BLINDERS


Spiritual growth is an amazing thing. When I say "spiritual" what I mean is that complete package; mind, body, soul. To stretch yourself mentally and allow your filter to change, seeing others and various situations in a new light. Shedding smallness and inviting in the possibility of learning something new. Turning into the discomfort emotionally, and truly transitioning from a caterpillar into a butterfly.
Although I shy away from competition as a whole, I am often feeling competitive with myself. The old me vs. the new. Striving to be better than who i was yesterday. I've spent the last couple of years working my ass off internally, overcoming what I felt were unnecessary flaws and characteristics that held me back from fully being in life and with others. There were times in conversation when I would just wait for my turn to speak, but now I truly listen, hearing the other person's point of views and feeling their emotional stand point. Wanting to understand, learn, and connect. My world was a lot smaller years ago, being that I was always throwing a party of 1...self-centered, selfish, and clueless. Today, I take pride in the soul to soul moments and the real relationships that have taken shape because of my desire to push myself out of the cocoon that was once a thoughtless 20-something year old.
But what happens when those close to you fail to see your efforts? As if you will forever be "stuck" in their eyes? Almost feeling like some are simply just waiting for the "old" you to surface, often inserting that label where it doesn't even belong. How do we shed the frustration, hurt feelings, and constant desire to defend? #askingforafriend

EMOTIONAL SNEEZE

Okay, so imagine you're minding your own business, out in the world. Perhaps at line in a local coffee shop, buying up some sunrise caffeine in a cup. Or maybe, you're at work, sitting quietly at your desk. Either way, with your eyes closed, imagine the calm. You're just....chillin. Okay, wait, open your eyes, there's more to read. LOL Where am I going with this? Well, there you are, in your own space, when BAM!!! Someone walks up and sneezes all over you. I  mean alllll over you! A giant sneeze. (((gasp)))) Ewwww. Grossed out? Horrified? Do you feel violated? Now, replace the "sneeze" with "complaining." This is what it feels like to be an empath on the day to day. It's social edict to greet a friend, stranger, co-worker, etc, with a smile, a quick hello, or often a "how ya doing today?" And most of the time, people can't wait tell you. In my experience, it's rarely positive and I can't help but almost always regret...

REIKI vs. READING

As my Reiki practice continues to grow strong, I find myself more than ever, hyper-focused on the client in front of me. My intent is not just to help them feel more at ease, relaxed, and tranquil, but to assist them in unblocking any old energies that may be stuck and hindering their natural, healthy, organic energy flow. I aim to clear away old emotional baggage, balance & activate their main Chakra points, and leave them feeling refreshed and recharged. ( My favorite is the white light bubble of protection....but that's another blog.) (((wink))) This past weekend, after a session with one of my Reiki clients, I could not deny the overwhelming sensation of depletion. I felt exhausted in a way that I have not felt during other sessions. After crashing into a full afternoon nap, I woke with curiosity and reached out to a couple fellow Reiki Practitioners for advice.One conversation really struck my soul and changed my perception, permanently... Since day 1, almost a year ...

MIRROR MIRROR, NOT ON MY WALL

Imagine you are the caretaker of a toddler. A toddler who in a fit of rage, throws themselves down on the floor, acting out in complete tantrum mode. Would you join this tiny human for you're own fist-to-floor pounding and excessive screaming? No. I mean, I am sure there are moments you may feel like mirroring that behavior, but surely, you would not. Our "grown-up" approach should be no different when handling those around us, regardless of age . It is important to pay close attention to self and the energy vortex that surrounds you. Dramatic? Let me break it down.... Have you ever caught yourself being unusually gossipy around those that love to share secrets? Or perhaps, you found yourself feeling a little (as they say in the USMC) "salty," when around someone who tends to hold onto anger or frustrations? This is you getting sucked into someone else's energy vortex. Awareness is key! If you catch yourself acting out someone else's emotions, simpl...
