Questions for you:
What does an expansive YES feel like for you?
What does a restrictive, tightening of a NO feel like for you?

What and how does your body communicate with you?
Are you overriding, ignoring or totally missing subtle messages?

I have come full circle with myself on these questions and, noted an undermining pattern…

The pattern was to second-guess a thought that could not be substantiated by logic and trusting the vibes of others more than my own. I had spent time reading and attending plenty of development classes – but, I had not found my way to trusting my vibes beyond logic.

Issue being, understanding and validating our vibes – trusting our intuitive process is an important step in our development… Trust is a like the beams that hold up your house…

So, here is some advice for awakening men and women:

You must learn to recognize and trust the language of your soul.
You must pay attention and to notice our body, our mind and our heart.

I know it can be tough to think, feel and sense “subtle energies” but, it’s important.

First off – we have many senses and we all use them differently…..

The long and short of it is that we need to test our communication system to see how we receive from each channel…. We need to test out which channel is strongest and strengthen the other channels by actively using conscious communication.

The channels looks like this –

• Seeing without using your eyes to see physically – images like a memory.
• Hearing without using your ears to hear physically – words/sentences within your mind.
• Sensing without touch comes into your whole body as heat, cold, tingles, etc…
• Feeling without emotional highs comes from your heart as an overall vibration/tone.
• Knowing without having studied, investigated or applied logic comes as an idea or awareness that sweeps right over you.
• Smelling or tasting what is not physically present is another channel to note.

The above breaks down the channels of how we can receive and how we can connect with subtle dimensions, spirits, angels and more.

I invite you to make this your priority.

Bring a scene from your past, a beautiful scene into your consciousness and focus on each channel to see where and how you receive.

I will use myself as an example…. and, here goes.

I love questions… as an Empath, I love hearing the varied perceptions and realities that come to that table when one probes deeper to connect with others.

I am curious…. always have been and yet, there is a mood – a time and space that brings this out in me… This is the time my extrovert comes out to play… she enjoys play which raises her level of excitement with adrenalin… When she is in this “mood”, the worst thing for her is to be bored…. which, brings out a side that will not be ignored…. an annoying side that will do anything in that moment to entertain herself…. (you laughing yet?)There is another side that is pretty strong. That would be the introvert side of me. This side doesn’t like hectic rushing, demands on her time, chaos or crazy people in her space. Above all else, my introvert loves her space for creativity, peace and quiet.

There are also other sides…. I have a mothering way about me… I have a no-nonsense way about me….. I have a skeptic that shows up on the scene….. I have a passionate, creative entrepreneur full of ideas…. I have an insecure part that doesn’t feel good enough…. I have a play-it-safe side that stays on the sidelines… I have a quiet observer that watches and analyzes… I have a romantic side that loves to tease… and, I have a mystical side that knows how to move beyond the logical mind….

Did you keep up?

Are all of these aspects truly me? The answer is YES – these are all parts of me operating in the background.

How is this possible?
How is besides the point…. truth and reality is not logical.
All these energies reside within me… seen only when you take a closer look.

It’s important to note that each of us is a complex, multi-faceted individuals.

We function as diamonds with many facets… When the light hits this diamond in certain ways, light streams from certain facets…. Light comes in to activate the energies that we carry within our subtle energy body. These lights are activated by patterns of behavior, circumstances and people within our experience. Some lights are consciously noticed. Other lights come in to active us in subconscious ways.

Additionally…..

We have those sides we love. We show those to the world.
We have those sides we see as weak or vulnerable. We hide those from the world.

When you start paying attention to yourself – you notice when and how you show up in the world…. you become more introspective…. you notice where and when fear shows up….. you notice what makes you beam with happiness…. you notice what tenses you up…..

The assignment for those of you a bit more ambitions is to PAY ATTENTION more fully to what ASPECTS or SIDES OF YOU show up on the scene in this upcoming month.

I want you to notice how many sides exists and, do how you feel about each side.

The Awakening Path is one that goes deeper. You understand yourself in new ways. Your goal is to see all sides of “the crystal.” Your job is to face and clear density so you can shine stronger within the sacredness of your experience.

First, let me talk a little about the word ENERGY!!

It’s not a bad or crazy word.  In most circles, energy is a term that tells people how energized they feel or how emotionally excited they feel at any given point and time.  We eat food, we exercise and we even relax to help us manage our energy.

In general, people think of energy as something to be preserved, gained or restored.  We talk in general terms that we are low in energy to complain when we have no extra to give to others.  We then talk of high energy when we attend a fun event or socialize with wonderful people.  You will also see us talk about feeling down when we are at a sad event or around people that are not so wonderful.

To most, the word energy is something we must have, get or maintain.  Why is this??  Because….  we feel tired when we lack energy – meaning, we have nothing left to function.  In summary –

We give ENERGY!

We get ENERGY!

We are ENERGY!

Wow – there is the brilliant idea the metaphysical world has been trying to tell us about.  The concept has been rather tough to prove logically since most of us need to see something to believe it – and, we see ourselves as simply physical bodies.  But – that physical body runs on  nourishment, rest and exercise. That physical body needs a form of fuel that allows it to function – a sort of “electricity” you can say.  Energy is the  unseen that allows us to function on a daily basis.

As you can see, the word energy is more LOADED for Empaths!

The Empath believes the metaphysical world that says everything is energy!  The Empath knows we are energetic beings.  Most Empaths feel the energetic body; others can see it.  The Empath knows that in every interaction with another, there is an energy exchange beyond shaking hands or saying hello.

The bottom line here is that the Empath is affected by energy seen and unseen.  The Empath is an intuitive with higher sense perception.  This gift allows Empaths to feel and know things about people on a more intimate level.  The gift of knowing and feeling goes hand-in-hand with an Empath’s ability to help others heal.

What do I mean by heal?  I am talking about emotional healing – helping that person understand, release or see their life situation from a higher perspective.  The person being helped doesn’t truly see what is happening other than they love talking to Susie the Empath.  They enjoy the connection because they always walk away with a smile or at least, feeling better.

What happens in this exchange with an Empath?

There’s a clearing or transmutation from a merging of energy.

An Empath also uses the term energy to describe how someone feels to them.  The Empath is able to determine via intuitive vibe (knowing or feeling) many things about another person. Most notably we connect with the emotional layer – although, we have the capacity to connect to physical ailments and thought patterns.

The interesting observation is that mostly, people are totally uninterested and unaware in knowing, acknowledging or feeling anything that is inside of them.  They often fear negative emotions and refuse to visit any uncomfortable situation in their life.  As such, negative emotions remain buried and take up permanent residence within them!

Energetic blocks are caused by emotions that remain buried in the body. These blocks –as they accumulate – lead to physical, mental or emotional issues.

I hope this article helped you gain new understanding.
