Passion

"Originally, this card was the compassion card. It was changed by the moon goddess to add spice. Thus, what we see happening in the realm of manifestation is the realization that we are all connected. In a sense

Can You Feel it?

If you have empathic psychic abilities, you owe it to yourself to explore them, and to expand on your natural talents. Even if you are never required to help out with major rescue operations, the peace of mind you’d gain from being in tune with all the people  and creatures in your daily life make these mental traits well worth the time and practice involved.


There are several factors and signs that a person may be highly empathic. Most empaths are very sensitive to others and their emotions. Often times empaths find themselves sharing the same emotions as those around them, and can have a hard time identifying the source of their emotions. People often seek out those who are empathic for advise or to vent, as empaths generally "get" the person they are talking to better than others. 


An empathic also lends a feeling of being connected with the person they are talking with, as they are in a way, searching them and their personality, and quite literally placing themselves in their position. Empaths are generally very understanding of others and their positions and often times will ask questions rather than make snap judgments or intuitively seem to "know' there is more to a story than what meets the eye.


Here are a few  fun ways you can  stretch your empathic muscle...


First think about your favorite color...The shade of it...If you like to wear this color... If you decorate with this color. Now go deeper, how does this color affect how you feel...Does it make you happy.. content... uplifted... calm.?.You can do this with sounds as well, like music... the sound of birds...This will help you focus on you, thus turning off any outside interference. We all need our “me” time. I like textures, some just feel good like stones and tree bark...natural things.


Next,we all have warning signals. Most of us the signals first start in our solar plexus. We need to get in touch with ourselves. Know our signals and from there we can tune into ourselves when needed.


Try this small exercise -


Try if your standing close and talking with someone. If feelings start to rise or you become bogged down as if your energy sinks….excuse yourself. Walk a few feet away. If the feeling seems to not be so strong, then you know where it was actually coming from... It wasn’t you.  In some research, it is said that out of 100 people only 95 of them are empath. .

Tarot Tuesday

The Luman Dreaming In Color deck is not a "traditional" tarot or oracle deck but extremely beautiful and surprisingly accurate. Luman is a combination of the words "light" (lumen) and "angel" (angelus) and uses special visual stimulation with color being it's key to unlock the subconscious mind. This deck is designed to aid in ones intuitive capabilities as well as help release negative thought patterns through meditation

* From the Dreaming in color LWB

The card that I had my good friend choose is called "Sacrifice," at first glance the connotations of this word can be pretty negative but after looking closer at it one is able to see a deeper, richer meaning. The message of Sacrifice is a message that is delivered straight from the Universe... it tells us of giving, with no expectations of reward or acknowledgement of that giving. In order to accomplish this we must have empathy, for without it, we cannot feel the pain and need of others.

It has always been my firm belief and practice that giving is something that is simply "the right thing to do" and has benefits that far out weigh any material rewards I may or may not glean from this experience. If I have resources that can make circumstances a little less dark for someone I will not hesitate to help. We are all connected in this world and when one suffers, we all suffer. Empathy is the feeling of joy that comes from within when you give to those in need ( time, resources, a good ear to listen with or maybe just a simple hug or kiss to say I care) and see the burden lift from their shoulders...it brings relief, compassion and most importantly...hope.

Let us all put ourselves in someone else's shoes and feel that empathy, share a little bit of ourselves with others and thank the Universe for the great gift of humanity.
