Empaths in Religion

Hi Beauties, I am an empath and a Christian, churchgoing person.  As such, I have had the experience of struggling to legitimize my empathic abilities and fit in with the Christian ideals and resistance to anything that cannot be explained or is thought of as witchy or evil.  I am not writing this to defend myself, or to defend empaths, highly sensitive people, or lightworkers.  I am writing to support all of the lovely people out there who are feeling tugged between the path of living a Christian life or living the life of honoring your inner wisdom and sensitivity.  I am here to reassure you that you can have both.     On a very basic level, empaths are considered to be highly sensitive people who can pick up on the energy around them.  When I accurately guess that you are anxious, or I know that you just had a fight with your partner, it's not that I am using magic to go into your brain and read your memories and feelings.  I am not using witchcraft to learn your emotions

Why Empaths Need to Stop Setting Up Boundaries

There is a wealth of information out there for people who are new to the empath world.  No one is really "new" to the world of being deeply sensitive, but so many people out there are realizing that there is a name for their abilities, and there are others out there like them and that they can begin to come out of their shell and live in light instead of fear.   For my lovelies who have been there for a while now, but are stuck in the revolving door of internet content and quizzes that help you identify whether or not you're an empath, I want to take things to the next level.   There is kind of a standard response to "help, I'm an empath and I don't know what the fuck it means" and that is to describe an empaths' abilities, help someone see where they fit in the mix, then teach them about boundary setting and grounding.  That is basically level 1.  Don't get me wrong, level 1 is super important, but we have to revisit the idea of boundarie

Today a Thing Happened and It Was Awesome

It was weird, this thing that happened, but I'll tell you about it because there's a lesson involved.  You all know that I'm a mental health clinician here in Alaska.  I can't call myself a "counselor" yet because despite having more than enough hours to sit for my exam and crush it, I am a wee bit afraid that I will not actually crush it and I will be embarrassed and $300 poorer.  I have been using imagery to SEE myself passing the exam, but if recent efforts to manifest shit is any predictor of what is to come, I need to spend more time meditating, because I have been "manifesting money" and the universe keeps dropping quarters in front of me.  Literally.  Quarters.  I really need to focus on studying for the exam, but instead, I am writing blog posts and attending trauma conferences.   So that brings us full circle back to my story... Lindsay is in town visiting for an unknown amount of time, and she decided to attend this free trauma conference

What I Learned From Tracking My Brain Activity During Meditations

We live in a crazy world where I'm writing this blog post, responding to texts from my husband about the grocery list (not all potatoes are created equal),  updating Facebook, sipping on coffee, half listening to The Real Housewives of NYC, and half listening for my kids wake up from nap time... I know, super talented, right? Photo by  Rob Bye  on  Unsplash We can pretty much nix the old format for resume's and just create a universal scale for multitasking.  If you can multitask with 0-3 tasks, you are on the low end (shame on you) and if you can multitask with 4-infinite tasks, you are mid to high range, congratulations you've moved on to the next round of interviews.  In this round, you will be placed in a room with 3 other candidates and asked to post on every social media platform known to man, while people are asking you questions, your phone rings, kids are throwing food at you and screaming about what show to watch, and one kid is inches from putting their fin

Up Level Your Goals

Image
Hey all, Today we're talking about goals.  I think most of us are familiar with SMART goals:    S pecific M easurable, A chievable, R elevant and T ime-bound.  Those are the classic rules to follow, and they are important, but I am going to share with you, how you can take your goals to the next level, and manifest whatever you desire . Here is the process I went through to up-level my financial goal: SMART Goal: $100,000 annually from the Intuitiflow business (January to January) Photo by  Estée Janssens  on  Unsplash What held me back from making my financial goal higher?  At the time, we were not making very much money from our business, and I was afraid to fail if I set the goal too high.  Coming from a middle-class family who works very hard for their money, it seems ridiculous to make more than $100,000 per year.  I also have a block that states that in order to make money you have to work hard, and as a parent with a full-time job, in addition to the Intuitiflow

Unraveling Patterns is the Key to Manifesting Anything You Want

Image
See that chair?  See that couch over there, and the phone you are probably reading this post on?  None of those things just popped into existence did they?  You probably thought "I need a new set of chairs for the table" or "shoot, I just broke my phone, I have to go buy a new one."  Everything that exists in your life, was first a thought.  Why then, is it so hard for us to believe that we can manifest what we want simply by starting with a thought? Here are 3 thought patterns that commonly interfere with one's ability to manifest, and what you can do to break away from these maladaptive thought patterns. 1.  Because it seems too easy  Growing up, I was taught that the only path to success was to work hard.  My parents taught me that I could do anything, I was fortunate to have parents who stood behind me in all of my wild ideas. They were very clear though, that nothing would work out for me unless I put in long hours, used my own hard earned cash to

3 Words We Never Want an Answer To, And Never Provide a Genuine Response To

How many times per day do you think you say "Hi, how are you doing?" How many times per day do you think you say "Hi, how are you doing?" and actually mean it? Our culture has taken this meaningful, and deeply personal question, and made it one of the most surface level things you can say to another person.  We typically ask this in passing, and have no actual desire to know "how someone is doing."  We all have our quick responses to this question:  "Good", "great", "fine, thanks and you?", "busy", or "tired". How is it that we have gotten in the habit of not only asking this question with no true intention to hear the answer, AND we answer the question with no intention of giving a real answer? Years ago, when I graduated from massage therapy school, at the graduation ceremony, I hugged one of the instructors.  Without realizing it, I naturally hugged her by putting my right cheek against hers.
