Empath Survival Skills: Psychic Boundaries

Author: admin  //  Category: Empath Survival Skills, Psychic Healing
As an Empath, your psychic boundaries are very important to your emotional and mental health. Your aura is your personal psychic space, and keeping it clear of unwanted intrusions and energy will help you to live an emotionally balanced life. Picking up, and carrying the emotions of others can be hard, and even make you question your own sanity at times. For any Empath, I suggest using the skills in my blogs, or other psychic skills to care for your aura daily.  I promise you, it will make  life as an Empath easier!
 Protecting your Space: Shielding
The Mirror Shield:
Visualize a mirror about two in front of you, facing away from you. Focus on this mirror until you can see it in your mind, almost feel it. Then, multiply the mirror, letting it circle around you, above you and below you. Imagine the same mirror replicating all around you until you are completely covered in mirrors.
This works well anywhere, even on a subway! 
 
Put your mirror shield up everyday before you leave the house (or in it, depending on the emotional energy of those you live with) and check it (simply close your eyes, and visualize it) a couple of times a day. If you feel, or see any gaps, cracks or holes, just repair it with new mirrors).
 
Cobalt Blue Bubble
 
Visualize a bubble of cobalt blue, purple, or gold, around your aura. See it about two feet away from your body;  above, below and around you. Visualize it intensely, knowing that nothing can penetrate your bubble. Cobalt blue, purple, and gold are all very strong spiritual colors. See the color in your bubble swirling, moving as if to beautiful music. Moving energy is the hardest for outside influence to penetrate.
 
 I encourage you to try each color, and decide which one works best for you. After a while you will be able to “feel” the difference of the colors.
 
Check your bubble periodically. Close your eyes, and visualize your shield. Repair any holes or rips you feel, or see. If you feel the need, make a new bubble. This will keep you, your energy, and your aura, well insulated.
Your Aura and Your Energy
 
 
Pulling Your Aura In
 
Your aura extends approximately one to three feet from your body, all around you. When you are uncomfortable, as if there are too many different energies around you (on a city bus) the key is to pull your aura in, closer to you.
See (or visualize) your aura extending about 1-3 feet from your body. Take a deep breath in, and as you do, pull your aura in closer to you.You can do this in only one breath. You can bring it in as close as only a few inches from your body.
 
This is an excellent skill to have when driving on a freeway, in a crowd, or around angry people. I always use this in a traffic jam! I used to have panic attacks on the freeway until I started using this technique. Now, driving the freeway is no problem.
 
When you are relaxed, again your aura will expand back to its normal shape. You do not have to worry about that part, nature will take care of things.
 
Giving Energy Back
This is a great one for dealing with ex’s!
 
When an interaction with a person effects us in a not so good way, we often (unintentionally) absorb some of their energy into aura. This simply happens through aura interaction.  Its not anyones fault, or intention.
 
This exercise is helpful after a hard reading, dealing with an ex, or anytime we cannot seem to get someone off our mind, or just do not feel “ourselves” after interacting with a certain person.
 
Find a quiet place and gather your thoughts. For this exercise you are going to assign color to your energy and one to theirs. Decide what color your energy is. The first color that comes to mind, or your favorite work will work perfectly. Next, decide what color the other persons energy is. Use the first one that comes to mind.
 
As you inhale, see your color coming back to you from the other person. As you inhale, suck it into your aura. As you exhale, see the other persons color leaving you, and going all the way back to them.
Repeat! This usually takes about 5 inhalations/exhalations, and you are done!
 
If it is someone you had a long term relationship, you may want to do this  a few times a day, until you start to feel more like “yourself again.”
 
That’s it! Let me know if you have any questions. So far, the feedback I have gotten on previous Empath Survival Skill posts, is that the Violet flame and Donna Edens’ zip up are the most helpful.
 
Many Blessings,

Survival Skills for Empaths, part 2

Author: admin  //  Category: Empath Survival Skills
 
Removing Stubborn Energy
 
If you are an empath, the most powerful tool you can learn to use is the Violet Flame. The violet flame can be called upon anytime, anywhere, and as many times as you need. It is very powerful, with the ability to remove any negative vibration you have picked up. I have taught this technique to many people, and everyone has told me they have felt and experienced the positive effects.
 
There are variations of the summoning of the Violet Flame. I am going to give you the technique I use with success each time. If you want more information about the Violet Flame, there is wealth of information on it on the net.
 
Violet Flame of Purification
 
Find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed. Sit or stand quietly. Allow your body to relax. Pray to Archangel Zadkiel to bring the violet flame of transformation to you. (Heart felt prayer is most effective).
 
See (visualize) flames of violet color it rising up underneath you, all the way up over the top of your head. Focus on feelingit purifying your aura, your chakras, every inch of your spirit body.
 
 As you are feeling the flame purify you, say this decree 3 times or more.
 
“I AM a being of violet fire!
I AM the purity God desires!”

 
 
You can repeat the Violet Flame technique as many times as you feel is needed. This is a blessing if you are living with a person, or persons who are carrying a lot of negativity with them You can use it anywhere you want, anytime you want. I do suggest saying the decree out loud because your voice vibration is part of the process. But, if you are in a public place, you can do it silently. I envoked the Violet Flame a bathroom stall in a train station once, and it worked!
 
Stubborn Energy Removal with Eggs
 
A raw egg is an amazing energy sponge. Take a raw egg and pray over it for the removal of any negativity from your aura. Rub the egg all on your sternum (between the breasts). Strop when you intuition tells you that you are done. Throw the egg in the toilet to break it, and flush to get rid of remains. This will remove any emotional disturbance that has attached to you.

 
 
 
 
Vinegar and Salt Bath
 
Vinegar works is a spiritual astringent. Salt is an excellent purifier. Add one cup apple cider vinegar, and a teaspoon salt to your bath water.  Pray for the released of any negative energy that has attached to you. Enter the bath and Immerse your whole body, including your head, at least 3 times. Stay in the bath for 5 to 20 minutes. Pat yourself dry, or shower to rinse the solution off. Either way is fine, the vibration will be removed.
 
The next part of this series will be posted in a few days. I will be focusing on shielding, and claiming your energy back.

Survival Skills for Empaths, part One

Author: admin  //  Category: Empath Survival Skills
 
 
You feel what other people feel because you are an empath. When the feeling stays with you after you have parted company, or hang up the phone, it is because some of that person’s energy has attached to your aura.
 
This blog will focus on how to get another person’s energy off of your aura, so you are not feeling someone else’s emotions for an extended period of time.
5 Ways to do an Easy Aura Clean Up.
 
 
 A) Take a shower.
Its simple, and very effective.
Water is a great conductor of energy. You rinse the unwanted energy off of your aura in the shower. For the first few years on doing phone readings, I used to run to the shower after I had a very distessed caller. It works everytime!
B) Salt Bath.
I preffer the shower method, but, I know a few people who claim a salt bath is the best way to clear deeply and quickly.  Throw a handful of sea salt under hot water and add to your bath water.  Soak for 5 to 20 minutes. If you feel the vibration is stubborn, immease your whole face and head in the water for few seconds. Repeat 3 times.
C) Smudge.
 For smudging, I suggest White Mountain Sage, it is extremely effective in removing even the most toxic of energies.  Don’t forget to smudge your calves, ankles, and the bottoms of your feet. This is a very important area because this is  the place where your aura is usually the thinnest. It is also the area most often over looked. If you are an empath, take regular care of your feet!  This will “thicken” your aura in that area, and add extra protection. I know it sound silly, but, it has helped me very much! (if you unfamiliar with smudging, there is a wealth of information on the net)
D) Shower of Light with Raphael.
Stand with your feet firmly one the ground, and your hands hanging freely at your side. Assign the unwanted energy a color (Im going to use grey). Call upon Archangel Raphael, and his band of Angels to shower you in cleansing golden white light. Stand still for a few moments, and giving the Angels a chance to rain this light down upon you.  As this happens, visualize  the grey unwanted energy washing off of you, into the ground and into the center of mother earth. Here  it will be cleansed, and sent back to its original owner. Do this until there is no more grey in your aura. give the Angels your Thanks. You may also ask the Angels to seal your aura in a Golden bubble of  light for protection.
E) Om.
The vibration of the sound Om can be very effective in clearing the aura. If you can find a private quiet place, sit cross legged (Indian style) with your left foot over your right. (so you see your left foot, but the right is partially hidden. Take a few deep breaths, and let your mind relax. Say a prayer for protection. As you breath in, let your lungs fill completely. As you breath out make the sound “Om.” You do not need to reach any perfect state of mediation for this too work. Do try to focus on the sound “Om.”  Don’t be aftraid to let it get a little loud, that helps! After 2 minutes, your aura should be clear. It is the vibration of the sound which clears the aura. The sound Om also centers and calms the mind and spirit.  This is my chosen method between readings now.
F) Similarly, a the sounds from a Tibetian singing bowl can clear your aura. take some time to be still. Sit, or stand, next to your singing bowl (you can find these at new age shops, and on the net) allowing the sounds to wash over you.  Do not rush the process, you will know when your aura is clear. This is a very effective method used by two busy moms I know, both who happen to be empaths!
Let me know if you have any questions, I will do my best to answer them. There will be 2 more parts to this series on Empath Survival Skills coming up. Those will deal with the more subborn, intense energies we can pick up.
Many Blessings to ALL.

Survival Skills for Empaths…A Teaser

Author: admin  //  Category: Empath Survival Skills

I will be writing a series on Survival Skills for Empaths (Everyone say thank-you Christine!) . This is going to be a great project for me. Being an Empath is actually really hard! Learning  a combination of easy steps to help you through the day, and the muck of everyone else’s emotions is well worth it.

For now, I will leave you with Donna Eden, and her “Zip Up” technique.  I do reccomend this technique for empaths. Its very effective, and a good place to start.  But, I alter it a bit. I do a “Zip down.” I decided to try it one day after I read that  the natural flow of energy is top to bottom, and  found it was more comfortable for  me.  Please let me know which one works best for you.
