THE PET FACTOR


In the last 2 weeks, three different friends have to come to me in hopes that I can help them re-home their pet. I do what I can via Facebook tags, spreading the world, and thinking outside the box. The larger picture however, is what frightens me. In the 33 years that I have been alive I have only had to "re-home" a pet once....and truth be told, she was never mine. I helped a family I love very much take care of her for a couple months until they found a way to keep her. My ex-husband kept our cats, and the only dog I ever had besides Tao, passed away years ago. There is a major different between life emergencies and "I don't feel like doing this anymore." I am finding more and more that the "it got too hard" has been the staple for ditching their once very loved fur-babies. My stomach is twisted and my heart is growing angry. I do NOT want to be the nucleus for judgement and am fighting multiple urges to open up my mouth. That would be a grave mistake. In times of misunderstanding I must attempt to remember that I cannot walk everyone's path for them. I do not agree with leaving your puppy in a crate for 9+ hours a day, failing to pet-proof your house for their safety, or neglecting the needs of both a cat and/or a dog...but yet, I see this lazy parenting behavior everywhere. Today I will mediate and ask for better compassion that I am currently lacking. My frustration and finger pointing will not help these animals, nor will it benefit my own soul growth. Hopefully, my raw and open blog today will invite some of these owners to reach down deep into their core and pull out selflessness and patience, as I will be doing the same to rapidly adjust the negative filter I am looking through.

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...
