Your Hand In Mine

Let us make bare foot prints in summer morning dew covered grasses
We can while away the hours in play and sheer bliss
A summer picnic in the glorious sunlight
Dancing and jumping in between the forest shadows
Let us walk until we find a patch of flowers
We can sit and weave a crown of daisies bright white
And wear them like kings and queens of yesteryear
We can finish each other's sentences
And laugh at the wonder that its even possible
Take me away to the gardens of old
Wisteria falls in lavender bunches
Jasmine and rose, iris in full bloom
Soaking in the beauty of nature's full glory
Let us smile so happy in love
Free flowing exchange of sweet energies
Then lie down in the grass and stare up at the clouds
Comment on angel and dinosaur shapes
Not caring at all with your hand in mine

Empathic

Its tough being empathic sometimes....okay, sometimes it seems like its tough all of the time.  I'm not sure why some of us seem so empathic and others, not so much.  Until I learned how to deal with my empathy, I often envied my friends who could say anything they wanted to anyone at any time and never think twice about it.  Me, if I so much as hurt someone's feelings even unintentionally, I'm doubled over in agony and sadness!  No picnic there.  I can walk into a room and feel things I didn't feel a few moments before I entered...and none of those things have anything to do with me at all.  It took me a long time to figure out that not all emotions I seemed to feel belonged to me.  I eventually learned that I was highly empathic and could tell people's moods upon meeting.  I could tell when pensive was disguised with a smile or when deep sadness was masked by joking and laughter.  I didn't understand for the longest time that strange emotions to me didn't have to emanate from within me...sometimes they actually came from outside sources...people, places, animals, etc


If you are empathic and haven't gotten into a regular practice of clearing extra energy from your person, I strongly recommend it.  So much in life is based on our intent and our own thoughts.  You can actually discharge or clear extra energy when necessary in order for you to feel more balanced and peaceful.  I recommend the following clearing technique:

Empath Clearing Technique: 

First get comfy and pull down the white light from the ...top of your head all the way down to your toes...see that wrapped around your body (imagine white liquid light above your head, coming in through your crown, filling your body and flowing down to your toes).  In the same manner as pulling down the white light, pull down violet/dark purple light around the white light and as you are pulling it down, imagine it pushing out all stray energy and emotion that does not belong to you...as the light pulls down to your toes, it pushes the energy/emotion from others into the ground where Mother Earth can transform it harmlessly. Then imagine bright golden light surrounding the violet/purple light.

 Its a very simple exercise but when practiced regularly can really help empaths clear extra emotion that just doesn't belong to them.  You can repeat these steps throughout the day. Repeat as often as necessary or desired.  Using the white light every morning when you wake up is a really GOOD idea if you are an empath. It helps shield and protect you from energy that is not yours. You can choose to release any energy that feels like it doesn't belong to you and just let it go. Remember that intent is everything. Blessings!

Surrender

Adrift
Weightlessness
The stormy seas mean nothing less
Than one more thing to think of
Gray skies
Descend upon the tides
The gulls dip and swarm
Ruthlessly hoping for one shred of a morsel
Churning waters from depths unknown
Bringing way too much to the surface
Too much for the light of day to take in
Too much for this reckless drifting soul
Stop fighting the waves I think
Stop seeking the land this time
Just drop below the surface
Into the silence
Into the deep
No struggle
Consuming
Surrender
