Staying Positive in Tough Times

I am Kari Samuels, your intuitive counselor and happiness coach. I’ve been called to create this special message for you because, oh boy, things have been very crazy in the world as you know. It’s been chaotic and there’s a lot of violence and just a lot of division and it’s been challenging. It’s been challenging for empaths, especially in sensitive souls, to stay positive.

The way I see a lot of people handling this as two different ways. So first of all, a lot of people who are sensitive just don’t read the news. They put themselves in a little bubble and a cocoon, which can feel good for a very long time. I understand why people do that. The problem with that, however, is that we live in a world of polarities and we live in a world of division. That is what this world is, is polarities, black and white, yin and yang, masculine and feminine. Polarity energy is one of the lessons of being on this planet. So there’s light in their shadow.

So if you try to keep yourself always positive and always like not in any kind of like hearing anything about the world that can bring you down or thinking about it, what happens is it doesn’t mean it’s not existing. It’s just going more in the shadow, your shadow and the shadow of the collective. And eventually you have to process that in one way. So that’s one way I see people dealing with the world.

Sensitive Souls and Empaths

Another way, which is so upsetting, is when I see sensitives and empaths like yourself look at what’s going on in the world and say, you know what, people are crazy and I don’t want to deal with anyone and I just want to go in my shell and not deal with anyone. I just want to, and there’s another way of cocooning yourself. I totally understand the need to be alone. You see, I totally understand that. Because you must absolutely take time to yourself every day to process your emotions. Take time to process your intuition and to understand what’s happening inside of you. It’s so important. It’s paramount.

However, what is so damaging about that is because you’re an empath. You are energetically designed to emotionally connect with people. You need it like food, like nourishment. Of course because you’re so sensitive that when any environment around you, whether it’s personal or political, whatever that is, if it feels too intense, your instinct can be to shrink up your aura to just put yourself in your own little space and in your own little world.

Disconnecting

What happens is when you do that, you are disconnecting yourself from your life force. You are disconnecting from your source of emotional nourishment. And then everything else in your life will kind of go astray because you’re not being the shiny. bullion self that you were born to be. Basically, when you do that, when you shrink up your aura, you basically keep yourself from getting opportunities. You’re not shining like the light worker that you were born to be because that’s what you were born to be. You’re a light worker, you’re magnetic, you’re emotionally intelligent, and you’re emotionally beautiful. And so if you’re not connecting with other people, also you’re just not going to feel fulfilled.

And I understand the challenges, right? When things around you are chaotic, when things in the world or your personal life feel negative or draining, you’re going to want to just be in your own space. That is a protective mechanism, right? To fill your aura with light and to sometimes if you don’t want to expand your aura, you can bring it in so you’re not taking in as much energy. But not at the expense of just shrinking and collapsing in on yourself, because it’s not going to help anything. And that can affect every area of your life in an adverse way.

Energetic Tools for Sensitive Souls

So I’ve created this for you so that you have some other tools. Have some other energetic tools where you can shine and expand yourself and be the light that you were born to be. And when you’re shining your light and expanding your light, that is when you create positive opportunities for yourself. That’s when you’re connecting with people, which is what you truly crave. I know you think that you want to be away from people sometimes when things feel crazy outside of you. But you really do want to be with people, just the right people, right? Just people that understand you and feel good in your energy field.

And the way to attract that is to be more of yourself and expand your light and shine your light. And by doing that also, you are bringing more light into the world. You’re being the light worker that you were born to be. You know, you incarnated here for a reason. You have a very important purpose right now. And we the world, the universe, needs you to be that shiny version of yourself, to be joyful because that is what you deserve.

First Energetic Tool

So I do have some energetic tools or insight for you to maintain your happy bubble while you’re still engaging in the world. The first thing that I would absolutely suggest that you do, and this is paramount, is that you connect with like minded and like hearted souls. They are out there. I know it sometimes doesn’t feel like they are, but they are. And when everyone around you seems like they’re being negative, whether that’s personal, political, again, whether that’s just in your world or the world, it can feel like you’re the only one who’s experiencing what you’re experiencing and everybody else is like X, Y, and Z.

But you’re not. Of course you’re unique in your own special way and yet there are still millions of people out there who are experiencing the same kind of feelings you do, who like the same things you do and who can appreciate you for who you are.

Connect with Sensitive Souls

So there’s a lot of ways to connect with like minded, sensitive souls. If you’re spiritual, maybe join some kind of energy healing class or learn Reiki so you can connect with other people who really care about that stuff. Or maybe you want to join an online class or a community of people who feel or perceive the world in a similar way to you. And there’s just bazillion opportunities online to do that. There is something called meetup.com you can go on and you can look for classes or interests for anything that you like. There’s just so much out there if you really look and say, I want to connect with like minded and like hearted souls.

I know you can find it and it is important that you do. So whatever it is you’re interested in, whatever it is that you feel is important to you, you can find people either in your community and/or online that support you and really can nourish that sense of connectedness. Because that is absolutely paramount. That’s your root chakra. You need to feel connected to a tribe and that is what is going to help nourish you in every area of your life.

Second Energetic Tool

Now the second thing that is absolutely paramount is that you stay in your body. When things feel a little intense and maybe overwhelming or scary, sensitive souls, they exit, right? And there’s that sense like you may even want to leave the planet sometimes. I know you don’t, like metaphorically, right?

So what we do is we exit our bodies, right? It feels too intense to be here. And so there’s a part of our soul that’s just like kind of hovering closer to the theorial realm so that we don’t have to actually be here. And that’s something that a lot of sensitivities do when they’re like I don’t want to be on this planet. It’s so hard. And you could actually be hovering pretty much outside of your body a lot without even realizing it. So it’s really important that you set this intention to call your soul, to call your spirit back into your body.

Cleanse and Ground

What I’d like to do sometimes is ask that it’s cleansed in the theorial light and cleansed in pure white light and call back all those soul parts and soul fragments to my body, my spirit. I imagine now that these parts of me are grounded, grounded, grounded, and really anchored into the earth. So you call yourself back into your body. You set the intention that you’re going to be here and stay here until it’s your time not to be here anymore. You incarnated here on this planet, in this body, at this time for a reason because you are a spiritual warrior. And you are a light worker and you are very needed right now. And the more that you are really intending to be here and be in your body and the more grounded you are, the more you’re going to enjoy being here.

But if you’re like kind of here and kind of not here, then your life is going to reflect that. But if you really set your intention, I’m going to be in my body, I’m going to experience my life on this planet in this time and I know that I came here because I want to experience this and I want to enjoy it, you will enjoy your life so much more.

Third Energetic Tool for Sensitive Souls

Now the third thing is to exercise. When your feelings feel overwhelming, your energy can get stuck. Emotions are energy in motion. So for your emotions to flow, for your energy to move through you, sometimes it helps if you’re moving your body as well. Have a little dance party at home, right? Nobody needs to watch. You can just have your own dance party to uplift your spirit and you get your body moving. Exercise, walking in nature, jogging in nature, biking in nature if you can, even better, because nature as we know is like the greatest salve and the greatest nourishment to your body, mind and spirit. And when you’re in nature, you can run into the most beautiful creatures. You could see butterflies or dragonflies.

I know I was jogging the other day. Something happened here in the world. I went out for a jog just to help myself feel better. And I did. And I ran into a puppy. It was so cute. When a puppy looks at you with their adorableness and they just, all they want to do, they have no problem wanting to be with as many people as possible. They still think we’re good. So we learn from puppies. And it’s just they bring you to the present moment. So animals, nature and any kind of movement and exercise, that may have been two things, but they’re combined, right? Because movement sometimes involves being in nature where you run into wonderful creatures, great and small.

Fourth Energetic Tool

Now, the fourth thing that you can do that it can really, really help you so much is to meditate. Meditation is all about being in the present moment. There’s different kinds of meditations. There’s chakra meditations, which I love. Then there is mindfulness meditations, which are more about emptying the mind. And there’s all kinds of visualizations. There’s meditation on a subject, right? So there’s different ways to meditate and all of them are about being in the present moment. So you’re not dwelling about the past or fearing the future.

Especially with meditation, you have to focus on your breath and when you’re breathing and when you’re resetting your nervous system and when you’re being in that present moment, that’s all there is, is the present moment, right? The things you’re afraid about in the future aren’t happening when you’re in the present moment. And by creating a more peaceful present, sensitive souls are also creating a more peaceful future for yourself and for the planet. We don’t need more fear, right? We want peace. Be that peace and practice presence. Practice meditation and bring that mindfulness of breathing, of being in your body, being in the present moment. Bring that to your daily life. So make every moment a meditation and mindfulness.

Fifth Energetic Tool for Sensitive Souls

Now my fifth suggestion for you, I feel like they’re all super important, right? Otherwise I guess I wouldn’t be saying them. This is also one of the most important, is to do your work, fulfill your purpose. And I know when things get overwhelming, especially when the world looks kind of crazed sometimes. Sometimes you can go through this soul searching where you think, does this even matter? Is what I’m doing making a difference because we have from here to here to go and I’m just doing like this little part?

If everyone did what made them happy, the world would be a happy place. The reason people act negatively or violently or project blame onto other people is because they’re not happy, because they’re not in their divine flow. If everybody was, the world would be like utopia, right? So if you are doing your part to make this world a better place, whatever that means for you.

So maybe you have a desire in your heart to paint. And maybe you think, well, isn’t that selfish with all this going on in the world for me to paint? Even if you’re not doing it for a living, but it makes your soul feel good. It’s really important to do that because we need more art and beauty in this world to make the world a more beautiful place, right? A more cultured place.

Find Joy

That brings joy to you and that brings joy to others who see it in every moment that you can create more joy is helping the world. So if you have a desire to paint, if you’re great at customer service, and that is how you fulfill your purpose in the world is by making every single person you meet in your job and what you do happier because they just had a wonderful transaction. They had a wonderful experience. Maybe you want to write, do that. Maybe your purpose is to parent incredible children. We certainly need more incredible parenting in the world where we’re teaching our children compassion and love and respect.

Whatever it is, I guarantee you if it brings you joy, if you feel like it can help even in the slightest bit, then do more of it. And do that knowing that whatever small actions you think you’re making are having a huge impact on the world. And when you do these things, you feel more joyful, you bring more joy into the world and you’re making the world a better place. You’re being the light worker that you were born to be.

Shine Your Light

So I hope that I’ve encouraged you to shine your light brighter, to be joyful, even when things look challenging or feel challenging and to know that you are meant to be here and you are making a huge difference.

How to Stay Positive in Tough Times

Vowels breathe life into your name.

In Numerology, your Soul Urge Number, otherwise known as your Expression Number, is encoded in your name.

Did you ever notice that certain cultures that are known to be passionate and emotional have lots of vowels? The vowels are frequency of emotions.

Every letter in your name is a sacred symbol for your soul’s mission on Earth.

In decoding your Soul Urge Number, derived from the vowels in your name, you can find insight into what you absolutely must express in your life in order to be happy. It indicates what drives you deep down and motivates your soul.

Find your Soul Urge number!

Step 1

Write down your FULL NAME AT BIRTH

Step 2

Separate all the vowels in your name.

(You can circle them, or write them out beneath where you wrote your full name).

Step 3

Give each vowel it’s correlating number in numerology:
A = 1
E = 5
I = 9
O = 6
U = 3

And…Y = 7

Is Y a vowel or not?
You might have heard this little jingle about vowels, A-E-I-O-U and sometimes Y. Numerologists differ on whether Y is a vowel or not. In my opinion, it is ONLY when it is in between two consonants in the same syllable and NOT near a vowel.

For example, Y is a vowel in the names:
Jenny, Gwyneth, Lynne, Gerry, Tyrone, Henry, Bryan, Carolyn (in the names Bryan and Carolyn Y is considered a vowel because it is in a different syllable than the vowel next to it.

Step 4

Add the numbers together, then keep reducing until you get a single digit.

Example:

Lynne Gertrude Polly Wallingford
Y Eย  ย  ย  ย E Uย  ย Eย  ย  ย O Yย  ย  ย  ย A I O
7 + 5 + 5+3+5ย  ย + 6 +7 +ย  1+9+ 6ย  ย = 48

48 reduces to 3 (4+8 = 12, and 1+2 = 3)
The Soul Urge Number for Lynne Gertrude Polly Wallingford is 3.

Master Numbers are an exception!

If the sum of your name adds up to 11 or 22, don’t reduce further, those are Master Numbers!

You desire freedom and self-reliance, always striving to better yourself. As you learn to follow-through on your immense creativity, you feel more joy and attract more opportunities to you.

1 Soul Urge Shadow

Your creative urges are constantly thwarted by you second guessing yourself. As a 1, you have trouble with authority, feeling that they are exploiting or controlling you.

You feel you are meant for more but always wind up without the status, money or power that you deserve. You can be creatively frustrated and lack the freedom in your life you crave. Your inner drive encourages you to overcome your fears and self-doubts so you can be the natural leader you were born to be.

2 Soul Urge

2 Soul Urge Shadow

You can feel uncomfortable and uneasy in your own company, needing affirmation from others rather than finding it within. If you become overwhelmed by other peopleโ€™s energy, you can retreat into yourself causing you to feel lonely, isolated, and shy.

So, if you are not tapping into your innate psychic and spiritual gifts, your amazing imagination can conjure a future of fear, rather than love. If you are not utilizing your intuition, you can second guess yourself, constantly wavering about your decisions and never feel like you can make the right choiceย – always fearing the worst.

Your sensitive nature, when not grounded in self-love, can cause you to take things too personally and feel like a victim, or that you give too much and receive too little in return. As you learn to trust yourself, you will find a deep sense of calm, peace and connection.

You can wind up feeling confused, taken advantage of, or depressed. Your creative energies can scatter your energy, leaving you with lots of unfinished projects and ideas that never manifest.

You can lack the discipline to put your creativity into practice, and feel as if your talents are underutilized. As a result, you feel unfulfilled and under-utilized, and your bank account will reflect that. Once you learn to express your creativity and directly speak from your heart, you will find the deep connections you crave.

You must also learn to overcome self-doubt with loving words, so you can share that love with others.

4 Soul Urge

Loyal, dependable, and discipline – those positive traits are rewarded with a stable home and family life, a full bank account, and emotional security. You are the go-to person for anyone who needs a helping hand, someone they can trust, and a strong person to support them.

You create the stability for yourself and your loved ones to have the freedom to do what you love. A born leader, you are in charge of creating your destiny on your terms. Others benefit from all you have built to make the world a better place.

4 Soul Urge Shadow

You can feel restricted and constricted by life, never having the freedom that you crave, always feeling like you need to work too hard to receive too little. Your life can feel like an exercise in discipline and struggle, never getting a break. You can feel as if others have control over you, rather than you being in control of your destiny.

As a 4, you can feel burdened with too much responsibility, and pressure to take care of everyone else. You can feel as if you cannot depend on other people, so you need to take charge of everything, leaving you with little support for your efforts.

Youโ€™re tuned into the collective consciousness, knowing what will be popular and are always one step ahead of others with style. Witty, charismatic and a gifted story teller, youโ€™re a natural entertainer, counselor and entrepreneur. With your multiplicity of talents, you have the ability to create a life of fun, freedom, adventure and wealth.

5 Soul Urge Shadow

With this soul urge number, your desire for freedom and change can make it hard for you to settle down and focus your talents. You can feel scattered, unsettled, and confused.ย  5s are afraid to choose from too many options. You can fear commitment so much, your relationships and finances suffer as a result.

Your independent nature can lead you to do too much yourself, feeling unsupported. Or you wind up with people depending on your or you depending on them and feel resentful. Because of your lack of follow-through you feel creatively and financially frustrated. Once you learn to commit to your decisions and be flexible with change, there are no limits to your life!

6 Soul Urge

You live for love! As a 6, you are a natural nurturer, caretaker and friend. You are the one everyone will turn to for advice, counseling, healing and understanding.

6 Soul Urge Shadow

Your perfectionist nature can make it difficult for you to complete things, fearing you will never be good enough. Since you are so sensitive to what other people think and feel about you, your desire to please others causes you to make everyone else happy at your own expense.

You can martyr yourself so much that you never have time for yourself because youโ€™re too busy doing things for other people. This can leave you feeling depleted and resentful, and not experiencing the prosperity that you desire.

You do love luxury! Yet donโ€™t often have the means to indulge your desires because you give so much yet lack the ability to receive. It is paramount that you don’t take responsibility for everyone else happiness. Once you let go of the idea that you or anyone else can be perfect, you can experience a beautiful, balanced life.

7 Soul Urge Shadow

Your other-worldly qualities can often make you feel like a stranger in a strange land. There are times you can feel you arenโ€™t like other people so you retreat into isolation and want to escape through fantasy or perhaps even addictions. You donโ€™t trust your intuition so your deep spiritual insights can lead to anxiety and a restless mind, always analyzing instead of trusting yourself or others.

You can feel betrayed by people or even life itself, waiting for the other shoe to drop instead of believing, trusting and knowing that you are safe and everything will work out in divine and perfect order. Make sure you are tuning into your intuition, and not relying solely on your intellect to guide you. Take time alone every day to process your intuition and emotions, and you are sure to thrive.

8 Soul Urge Number

If anyone is meant to have material prosperity itโ€™s YOU! Manifest wealth so you can use it to benefit the greater good. Youโ€™re a born leader. With a mind for managing, you love to take on responsibilities and see the big picture. Youโ€™re a true visionary. Work and career will always be a big part of your life and can offer you immense emotional and financial fulfillment.

You are strong, courageous, and magnetic. Thereโ€™s nothing you canโ€™t achieve. When you use your power in harmony with the laws of the Universe, you are unstoppable!

8 Soul Urge Shadow

Though you secretly crave money, power and status you are afraid of what others will think of you. So, you overcompensate for this by being indirect and too humble. You fear that others will see you as conceited or arrogant, so you dim your light to make others feel comfortable.ย  This leaves you in situations where you are controlled by other people when youโ€™re really meant to be in charge.

If you hide your natural leadership abilities, you will wind up feeling taken advantage of and undervalued. If you resent others for having what the money and status that you want, you will restrict your natural flow of abundance and love.

9 Soul Urge

You have a desire to help others because youโ€™re a natural counselor, teacher and guide. You draw other to you as a 9 with magnetic qualities.ย  Everyone asks for help and guidance. You are an old soul and have the wisdom of many lifetimes of experience. This gives you an intuition and inner knowing that is profound.

You seem to know things about people and situations without any prior information. Somewhere in your awareness, you recognize that you have all the answers within you.

You know you are meant to have a great impact on the world.ย  You want to make the world a better place and know that you can.ย As a compassionate humanitarian you strive to make this world a utopia. When you are listening to your penetrating inner guidance, you are a charismatic leader, healer and guide. You can achieve great financial prosperity with a deep sense of fulfillment and purpose.

9 Soul Urge Shadow

When you are not listening to your deep inner wisdom and connecting to your spiritual source, you can feel isolated, confused and misunderstood. You can feel regret for the past with an inability to let go and be in the present. Because you are so sensitive to other people, with an acute intuition, you can be so concerned with what other peopleโ€™s opinions of you are, that you begin to doubt yourself.

You are an old soul. 9s go through many rigorous tests. Learn to love yourself unconditionally without the affirmation of others. If you continue to seek otherโ€™s approval, you will find yourself feeling abandoned. If you are not listening to your intuition to pursue your higher purpose, you will not receive the emotional and financial rewards that you deserve.

11 Soul Urge Number

You are a born visionary and leader. Your role on this planet is to inspire others and guide them with your inspired ideas. With your highly-tuned intuition, you have an uncanny ability to pick up information from the ethers, always enlightening you with insights that are ahead of your time. 11 is a master number, with great potential to show others the way, guiding them with your light.

You have magnetic energy. You are meant to receive spiritual, emotional and financial abundance for mastering spiritual lessons. Because you are mastering advanced spiritual lessons, you can achieve anything!

11 Soul Urge Shadow

As a master number, you have greater potential and therefore more challenging lessons. It can feel overwhelming sometimes. You can feel burdened by the responsibilities of leadership.

You can feel different from others, overly sensitive and misunderstood. This can lead you to withdraw and hide from others instead of leading them. You can seek approval and fear rejection. As a result, you never share your creative insights with others.

If you doubt your intuition and always seek affirmation outside of yourself, you will miss the opportunity to guide others with your unique contribution to the world. If you live in the world of ideas without the courage to implement them, you will not fulfill your ultimate destiny that would allow you to reap spiritual, emotional and financial rewards.

22 Soul Urge

You are a master of manifesting! You can achieve anything by combining the spiritual insight of the 11 and the practical grounding of the 4. This number is the Master Builder. Because you are creating structures that others will benefit from. You mean to leave a mark on the world!

Using your inspired vision in combination with your logical mind, you are unstoppable. You are ambitious, responsible, loyal, and disciplined, with an entrepreneurial edge that will guarantee your success. As a 22, you are a born leader and are meant to be in charge.

You take on more responsibility because you can handle more than others. You thrive in roles of authority and leadership. As the Master Builder, you can build the a life of freedom, security, wealth and fulfillment. When you listen to your intuition and take practical inspired action, you can feel immense pride knowing you are fulfilling your destiny making the world a better place.

22 Soul Urge Shadow

As a master number, you will have more challenges than most. You can feel burdened with the weight of your responsibility, with a constant workload. Often, you can feel as if you never get ahead or receive a break and that you must constantly work, and take care of others. You can feel restricted by circumstances and never feel that freedom you crave so deeply. If you are not owning your immense power and claiming destiny as a leader, you can clash with authorities leaving you feeling controlled or disrespected.

Youโ€™re meant for great things! You must have the courage to stand out. If you are not taking a chance on yourself and acting on your creative inspirations, you can feel unfulfilled, unworthy and unappreciated. Your life and bank account will reflect those feelings of low self-worth.

Make sure you are sharing your abundant gifts with the world. You have so much to share because your soul strives to leave a legacy. You are here to make a mark on the world!

Energetic Protection – How To Create Healthy Boundaries

Hey, it’s Kari here. And I am so excited about what I’m going to be sharing with you right now because I know this can change your life as it has mine. I’m going to be sharing with you five essential steps to protect your energy so that you can feel grounded, and happy, and maintain well-being and positive energy so you can feel great.

When I say this is life-changing, I have went from feeling anxious, and stressed, and really just never in my skin to feeling peaceful, and joyful, and radiant. So don’t overlook these because you think they’re simple or obvious. These are life-changing, especially if you’re sensitive. So if you feel like you’re one of those people that pick up on energy from other people, that you’re like a sponge, that sometimes you’re talking to someone and they feel great and you feel worse afterwards, well, then this is definitely going to help you.

Because once you’re aware of energy and how you’re managing your own energy and how you’re protecting your energy, that’s when you can choose how you want to feel instead of just not knowing why you’re not feeling well at certain times. So once again, I want to remind you, do not overlook these or gloss over them no matter how simple or even obvious they may seem to you.

First Step of Energetic Protection

The first essential is for you to know that you are an empath. So first of all, what is an empath and why is this important for you to know? And again, that’s what I’m saying this seems kind of simple. But once you understand the kind of person you are and how you process energy, then you know how to manage energy. You know what we and our bodies, our bodies are the vehicle for our soul. This is the vessel for your soul, and not everybody’s driving around in the same vehicle. So like you, if you’re listening to this or even you’re interested in this information, it’s probably because you are an empath, and empaths are gifted energetically and emotionally.

So if you imagine that your energy field … You have an energy field. You don’t need to imagine that because that’s true, but if you can imagine what that is about for you, and not everyone has the same kind of energy field. So just like with hair, some people would have really thick hair and some people have very fine hair, and it’s more porous, and it’s more fine.

So the same thing with energy. You can have a one of those energy fields that things just roll off of you. And if you’re one of those people that no matter how much people say, “Hey, just let it roll off of you,” you can’t because you’re more spongy. You’re like a little sponge. You’re like delicious sponge, and so you will absorb energy more intensely. But you’re also have kind of like spidey senses so you can feel energy more intensely, like more fine-tuned.

Manage Energy

This is an incredible gift because you’re energetically sensitive to how other people feel, which subsequently means that you pick up on their energy and you’re always feeling what they’re feeling. Sometimes you don’t even know whose feeling it is anymore. This can also make you kind of more of a people-pleaser because you’re always feeling how other people are feeling about you and you always want people to feel good about you so you wind up giving too much or always doing everything so that other people feel good and sometimes at your expense. Is this sounding familiar, feeling familiar? Yeah, I thought so.

So knowing you’re an empath means that you know how to take care of yourself because you’re not like normal people, and you don’t want to be. You’re extraordinary. You have this extraordinary gift of emotional intelligence where you can feel things more acutely. But this also means that you need to manage your energy more acutely. You need to take extra good care of yourself because you can’t just be out there in any environment. So it’s knowing your vehicle, you know? So you’re not an off-road vehicle. You’re not an SUV. You’re more like a Jaguar.

I know it’s hard to be extra sensitive. Sometimes there are challenges, but the gifts are amazing. You’re extraordinary, and it’s such a great gift to have. When you know how to overcome the challenges, you can start reaping the benefits of being this extraordinary being. So why be a jalopy when you can be a Jaguar? So feel good about being an empath, but you have to know that you are.

Second Step of Energetic Protection

This brings us to the second most essential step in being an empath, in energetic protection, is to say no to stressful environments. Now, we talked about you being a people-pleaser, right? So there’s so many times when you’re dreading going somewhere or you’re going to a social event or a family event because you think you should be. Now, this is a telltale sign that you really don’t want to be there and that everything in your energy is screaming like, “Please don’t put me in this environment.”

The other thing is that you’re more sensitive to noise, and commotion, and lights, and just like a lot of energies. So remember, you have this extra porous, super fine aura, right? Super fine. So if you’re picking up on more information than other people, everything’s going to feel like exponentially more intense. So if you’re going to a place too that’s really loud and has all kinds of people that you have to make small talk with, and that’s also like you’re picking up on all of their emotions, that is so draining to you. And yet, how often do you go to things and do things because you feel obligated and yet everything in you is telling you not to? So you really need to practice saying no to those situations where you’re putting yourself in that environment.

This means also volunteering to go to things that you’re not even obligated, like malls that are all kinds of cacophony. I don’t care how much something’s on sale. You’re not going to be like stampeding on like Black Friday. That’s not going to be good for you, or whatever day it is. Don’t go to the stampedes, whatever that means.

Manage Environment

Or if bars or things like that where there’s just so much stimuli, you may not even realize how this is affecting you, so start paying attention to it. Start paying attention to how you feel before and afterwards. Like with before, if you’re dreading it, then don’t go. And afterwards, if you just want to take a nap, you’re exhausted or you feel emotionally drained, well, you can start to recognize like, “You know what? Why am I putting myself in this situation? Maybe I’ll shop online. And maybe I’ll just say no to this event and I’ll see them another time when I can have a more intimate setting.” Are you picking up what I’m putting down? This is so important.

I understand that there’s times that you have to be in these kind of negative situations, like if you have a job that doesn’t feel right. So this is what we’re going to talk about in the other essential steps. But, you don’t need to volunteer to go to things that are draining you. So remember that, and do that, okay? Say no.

Third Step of Energetic Protection

So, step number three in energetic protection is to cleanse your aura. You may not know what an aura is, and that’s okay. It’s the energy field that surrounds you. It’s kind of like the earth has an atmosphere. Even though it’s connected to everything else in space, the earth has an ozone layer. And you see, even the ozone layer is needing more protection now. This is the barrier between you. I’m not talking about the ozone layer. I’m talking about your own personal aura, like your ozone layer. And see, what’s above is below. I think maybe that’s connected to the ozone layer and their aura is being depleted.

So it’s really important for you to strengthen your aura and for you to cleanse your aura because this is the energetic boundary around you and it’s the energetic space around you. You can cleanse this. There’s so many ways to do this, and I’ll put some links for you below for some resources that I have for you. Lots of ways to do this, and there’s a lot of resources about this.

This is a quick way. I mean, I have so much more to share with you about this. This is a quick way to do this. Light washes away all darkness, right? Wherever there’s light, there can’t be darkness. So if you imagine that there’s a beautiful ball of light above you that is like a waterfall of light that’s washing down around you, and so what’s happening is anything that’s stuck … You know how you’re like a sponge?

Cleanse Your Field

So all of these parts that are stuck on you, all other people’s energy that you’ve absorbed, all of your negative thoughts that you’ve been holding onto, you can imagine that this waterfall of light is just washing down over you, washing away anything that doesn’t belong to you, washing away stress and negativity, just washing over you this beautiful waterfall of light. Doesn’t it just feel good even thinking about it? That’s the whole point. So you’re imagining this light washing down over you, cleansing everything in your energy field, and leaving light. So you are surrounded by light during this beautiful column of light. You’re in a beautiful ball of light around you, and that this light is filling your aura.

So as you’re washing away anything that stuck on you or any negativity, anything that doesn’t belong to you and you’re filling yourself with light, you’re creating more positive energy around you, and this starts to attract more positive energy. See, what happens is as your spongy, empathetic self picks up energy from other people in the environment, even just walking around, because there’s a lot of stimuli, at the end of the day, you know you want to brush your teeth, you want to take a shower every day because you just want to cleanse yourself. You pick up stuff no matter what.

Waterfall Of Light

So if you imagine that you’re running around all day and picking up stuff from other people and you’re not cleansing your energy, you just start collecting more and more of it and you feel like a sponge that is never rung out and cleansed, right? So this is why it’s so important to keep cleansing your aura.

And when do you do this? Start your day with it. Finish your day with it, throughout the day with it. Actually, if you’re talking to someone that maybe doesn’t uplift you, just bring that waterfall of light around you and you’ll feel better. It creates this beautiful positive energy field so you can keep attracting more positive energy and letting go of what doesn’t serve you. Isn’t that nice? So do that every day as often as you’d like, however many times it feels good. Just do that all day if you want.

Fourth Step of Energetic Protection

Now this brings us to our next essential step in energetic protection. So as you are cleansing yourself with light and creating that light around you, the next thing to do is to make sure you’re taking up space energetically. Make that light bigger and brighter, bigger and brighter, brighter and wider. Because what happens as an empath, you want to shrink up, especially if you’re going to a place that you’re like, “Ugh, I don’t want to be here,” so you’re like, “I’m going to make myself small.” You may not even do that consciously, but unconsciously I guarantee you’re doing that, and especially if you’re feeling like you’re picking up so much stuff from other people.

Yet what happens is that means other people are overpowering you energetically. They’re like, “Oh, look. This is someone who’s not taking up space so I’m going to take up all the space and I’m just going to bring my energy out here and cram them.” So it doesn’t even matter if you’re saying anything to someone. You’re going to disappear and they’re going to get bigger and that’s just not a good ratio. So you want to bring your bright light, your bright light all around.

Shine Brightly

If you imagine like a light bulb has the glass around it, but the light keeps shining, shining, shining brighter. You could shine as brightly as you want and still keep that protective energy around you, but keep radiating, radiating. What’s really important is your solar plexus, which is the chakra just beneath your rib cage, it’s like a solar. It’s like a sun, right? So you want that to radiate. You want to radiate from your solar plexus because your solar plexus, in addition to being the chakra for your self-esteem and your confidence, it’s also your energetic boundary between you and other people. So this helps you become more confident and it also helps protect you energetically.

So bring that light into your body and radiate from your solar plexus. Fill your aura with light and then beyond that, like the glass and the light bulb, right? So you’re radiating as much as you can. That way, people won’t just overpower you energetically. So you’re raising the energy of everyone and everything around you and you’re also claiming your space in the world and letting the world know that you matter, and you’re important, and that you’re here. You’re a light worker. You’re a bright light in the world and nobody else is going to dim your light. That’s great protection for you, and it also feels amazing. And the more you do that, the more you’re going to start attracting positive people and circumstances. You see how this works?

Fifth Step for Energetic Protection

So the fifth essential step in energetic protection is to not engage with energy vampires. Now, we talked about you being a people-pleaser, right? Trust me, I get it. It’s not going to go away because you’re always going to be feeling other people’s feelings. And of course your job as a light worker is to make people happy. That’s part of the gift of being an empath. You’re a healer, you’re emotionally intelligent, and you’re beautiful, you’re extraordinary.

And so what happens is when there’s someone that’s like … They know it. People know it. They’re like, “Ooh, look at the squishy healer, sensitive person. They’re going to help me feel better because I’m going to take all my negative energy and give it to them.” Then sometimes, unconsciously, you energetically say, “Oh, sure. Give it to me. I’ll take it. Sure. I’m a healer.” Don’t do that.

So what happens is that if they’re just like negative energy, like you know … and telling you all the things, all the things that complain, complain, complain, negative, negative, whatever it is, and your encouraging them because you don’t want to hurt their feelings and you want to be nice to them or you don’t want them to think you’re rude. You’re just encouraging them to dump more energy on you and take, take, take, take, take all your juicy, delicious force energy that you just created and tapped into, right?

Walk Away

So you have to disengage from energy vampires. First, don’t seek them out. And if they’re in your life like, don’t feel obligated. Again, it’s this whole don’t feel obligated thing, right? It’s like a theme. Can you tell? When you feel someone dumping on you energetically or taking from you energetically, focus on your body and just disengage. Don’t encourage them. It doesn’t mean be rude, but don’t be extra nice either. You can be like, “Oh, okay.” Don’t keep asking them questions. Just end it. Okay. I got to go. Nice talking to you. Bye. Okay? You got that? So cut it off. Don’t keep asking. Don’t like goad them on. Stay in your body. Create that kind of energetic boundary that says, “We’re done now.”

And look, I get it. Sometimes, like let’s say you’re like a hairdresser or something and people are like … and you have to maybe kind of talk to them, but you don’t need to keep encouraging them. They’re not going to notice that you don’t listen because they’re not empaths at that point, right? Maybe they’re not here to make you happy. They’re just wanting to talk to anybody, right? So you don’t need to engage. You could be thinking about your laundry. They’re not going to know the difference. Just be like, “Oh, okay … ” And remember to cleanse your energy after that, and while that’s happening, and before that so you’re not picking this up. So keep that waterfall of light running, okay?

Practice

I know that if you do this, if you practice it … Remember, the biggest practice is putting yourself first. That’s the theme of all of these things, is knowing that you’re this special, beautiful kind of person who picks up on energy, and not putting yourself in situations, and keeping your energy shiny and bright. These are the things that is a daily practice, it’s a forever practice, and it’s a beautiful practice because this keeps you feeling good. So don’t see any of this as a burden of being an empath. Just be like, “Oh my gosh. I’m so glad I’m a Jaguar, not a jalopy. This is such a gift.” So keep this positive energy going. Keep shining brightly in the world.

Energetic Protection – How To Create Healthy Boundaries

Do you have healthy energetic boundaries?

If you are an empath, sensitive, or HSP you need to take extra special care of your energy field for energetic protection.

Maintaining healthy boundaries is vital to your well being!

Do you feel depleted by other people or your environment?
Are you drained when you talk to certain people?
Do you pick up other people’s feelings?

Good news! You can protect your energy from negativity, and maintain positive energy!

In this video, I share with you five essential steps for protecting your energy. You will learn to feel great and transform your sensitivity into your greatest strength.

Energetic Protection How to Create Healthy Boundaries

Your Sun Sign’s strength can be revealed by looking at the season of your birth!

Depending on your Zodiac sign, you can always look to astrology to know your moment in the sun. All zodiac signs have a month-long period where they are aligned with the sun. These are also known as solar seasons (or the four seasons we have on earth).

As the sun aligns with each sign, it also shines light on the area of your life ruled by that sign. It casts its influence and plays a leading role in your life. For instance, the aspect of your life ruled by Taurus will also experience a need for growth or progress when itโ€™s aligned with the sun, even if youโ€™re not born under this sign.

What if I live in the Southern Hemisphere?

These readings can also be applied to people living outside the Northern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere, the zodiac signs are also adapted seasonally. For example, Capricorn is geared toward being more reserved and preserving energy (as we need to do in winter), whether in a rainforest or the tundra. Cancer is a sensitive sign even in the desert.

As contemporary astrologers put it, the seasons can be more of a psychological season and not a literal one, although the seasonal metaphors for the 12 zodiac signs are solar based.

These are how aspects of your life could be illuminated by the solar seasons.

Spring Zodiac Signs

Aries

The start of spring initiates birth, as seeds are sown for future crops, and hibernation ends. The solar season begins with Aries, the trailblazer.

In the same way that the world experiences new beginnings, Aries becomes the initiator, as lifeโ€™s challenges encourage you to move forward with courage and zeal.

Taurus

In late April, Spring is established, and the results of the previous month are soon to be seen. The Taurus is in the moment of their lives where they need to display a concern for getting results in various ways as well.

Gemini

As Spring dawns, the last trimester of Spring means that survival depends on natureโ€™s ability to adjust to environmental influences and changes.

As nature begins to synthesize, you also find the desire to learn about synthesis and affinity.

Summer Zodiac Signs

Cancer

With life lush and abundant at the beginning of Summer, mankindโ€™s nurturing instinct is developed, just as nature is busy taking care of Springโ€™s produce.

Maternal instincts are strong, and you may feel more sensitive than usual.

Leo

Nature is in full bloom, and Leo needs to project confidence, enthusiasm, and a love of life. Your personality is a reminder that you can be fun-loving and generous like Mother Nature.

Virgo

With fall just around the corner, another transition begins. Virgo must prepare for work, as Winter is on the horizon.

You must learn from what has been done and what should be done. Know your responsibilities to move forward.

Autumn Zodiac Signs

Libra

As leaves begin to turn color, human and nature start working together in harmony to maintain balance. You learn about the need for cooperation, both with nature and with your fellow man.

Balance and justice are the ultimate goals.

Scorpio

As the sun moves to the month of Scorpio, the more delicate of nature fall while the stronger survive. Like nature, you also begin a process of regeneration as you go through a transformation in your life to find a deeper meaning.

The coming Winter threatens life, and Scorpio faces it without showing fear.

Sagittarius

Freedom and tolerance are practiced during the last part of Autumn because passion and intensity have passed.

Survival for Winter depends on foresight and vision, and Sagittarius have a natural ability to visualize possibilities for the future.

Winter Zodiac Signs

Capricorn

Nature takes a rest. Like the animals seeking refuge, you instinctively build a wall of protection around your feelings of vulnerability to the environment. You project that same austerity and sensibility to survive.

Aquarius

It is a time to reflect on the new year. With still little to do outside, the Aquarian breaks through the barriers of creativity and invents new things.

It is a time of waiting and controlling emotions, and you become indifferent about most things as you wait for Spring.

Pisces

It is once again a changeable time as Spring looms over after the long Winter. You are becoming inspired by thoughts of the new year.

Just as nature is starting anew, you must also commit your life to a future cause.

Every season has it’s own magic!

No season should be viewed as either a challenge or advantage. It should only serve as a reminder that everyone is subjected to the entirety of the Zodiac regardless of their star sign.

Gratitude sends a positive message to the Universe

Starting a gratitude journal goes far beyond writing down the things youโ€™re thankful for in a journal or notebook. Itโ€™s a practice that has the potential to powerfully shift your physical, emotional, and spiritual being into higher, more enriched levels of fulfillment.

How can so simple a practice have so profound an effect?

A gratitude journal serves as a tool to help you cultivate greater appreciation, mindfulness, and gratitude in your life. Itโ€™s an exercise that can change the way you view the world around you, as well as the way you embrace your present circumstances.

Together, weโ€™ll explore the positive effects of gratitude, as well as tips and strategies on how to use a gratitude journal to change your life.

Why Start a Gratitude Journal

Now, you might be wondering: why start a gratitude journal? How will writing in a journal help me be a healthier, happier person?

Well, there are actually quite a few benefits to implementing a regular gratitude journalling practice.

1. A Gratitude Journal Encourages Gratitude

Yes, we know โ€” this one is likely the most obvious of the bunch, but hold on! Hear us out.

The whole point of setting out on a gratitude journal expedition is the cultivation of greater appreciation, gratitude, and thankfulness.

Why cultivate greater gratitude? Studies have shown a wide range of benefits to regularly focusing on an attitude of gratitude. Youโ€™ll experience more restful sleep, decreased anxiety and depression, more motivation, and a more optimistic outlook on life.

2. Gratitude Journals Activate the Law of Attraction

Yes! Gratitude journals help you utilize the Law of Attraction to bring about more positive opportunities and circumstances into your life.

How does this work? Well, the Law of Attraction states that like energy attracts like energy. What we think about, we bring about. What we focus on and hold in our consciousness is magnetically drawn toward us, bit by bit, as the universe brings experience into being.

When we write in a gratitude journal, we are affirming the positive experiences in our lives. Weโ€™re celebrating the best that surrounds us, and when we focus on what weโ€™re thankful for, we create more opportunities in the future to be thankful.

3. Gratitude Journals Create Self-Awareness

By focusing on the good things in our lives, we become more attuned to noticing whatโ€™s around us. We begin to see the world through a different lens. Instead of focusing on what we want or donโ€™t have, we learn to appreciate what already is.

This promotes self-awareness, empathy, and mindfulness. We are no longer trying to constantly escape the present moment into a projection of the future where we have more, because we already have more! By tuning into a more grateful mindset, we are celebrating the present, realizing we already have full, rich, whole lives, here and now.

4. Gratitude Journals Help Keep You Optimistic

Everyone has bad days. And on those bad days, weโ€™re often inclined to reach out for something that we know will make us feel better. But comfort food, warm blankets, and binge-watching a half season of a TV show will only go so far to help stave off the blues.

Instead, try re-reading your gratitude journal. Pulling out your journal on days youโ€™re down in the dumps can help remind you that even when things are tough, there are still things to be thankful for.

Yes, you may have had a terrible day at work, but you do have a job! A job that enables you to provide for yourself and your loved ones. Use your journal to help remind yourself of the good things life has to offer.

Tips for Maintaining a Successful Gratitude Journal

So, thereโ€™s no doubt that starting a gratitude journal practice can increase your optimism and well-being. But how do you actually go about it?

Weโ€™ve got some great tips and tricks to help you maintain your journaling practice for a successful experience that will change your life.

1. Keep It Simple

Many are intimidated by the notion of starting a gratitude journal because they donโ€™t know how to start or where to begin. But keeping up with your journal doesnโ€™t need to be an overwhelming endeavor.

In fact, your entries donโ€™t need to be very long. Even just scribbling down a few bullet points or creating a small list is great!

If each day you can commit to writing down three things youโ€™re grateful for, this will be more than enough to initiate the powerful positive changes gratitude can bring into your life.

2. Make It a Habit

This is where people often run into trouble. Whenever you start something new, especially something youโ€™re not accustomed to doing, it can be tough to stick with it.

But hey, if it were easy, everyone would be doing it!

The greatest hurdle in getting your gratitude journalling practice to stick is maintaining a consistent routine.

Youโ€™ll need to assess your schedule carefully before making a decision here. Donโ€™t commit to writing in your journal every day if you donโ€™t have the time or means to do so. Be realistic. How often will you be able to pick up your journal and write in it? Once a week? A few times a week?

Be fair and honest with yourself, and decide on a routine that will work best with your schedule. Then, do your best to stick to it!

3. Donโ€™t Take Things Too Seriously

So, youโ€™ve decided on a journalling schedule that will work for you, but then โ€” you miss a day. And then another.

Before you know it, you havenโ€™t picked up your journal in a week and every time you look at it, you feel a twinge of guilt.

Donโ€™t beat yourself up over it! Remember, this is a gratitude journal practice. Not a guilt-trip journal practice!

If you miss a few days, a few weeks, a few months, itโ€™s no big deal! Just pick up your journal when you can, and see what things you can come up with to be thankful for.

As you continue down this path, youโ€™ll find you need the journal less and less as you begin to notice more opportunities in your daily life to be grateful. And after all, thatโ€™s what a gratitude journalling practice is all about!

4. Get Creative!

Want to keep things interesting? See how many specific things you can come up with that youโ€™re thankful for to add to your journal.

This may require some outside the box thinking, but thatโ€™s good! A little creativity never hurt anyone.
