New Download Available – The Science and Art of Being Empathic

Are you ultra-sensitive to other people’s energy and emotions?

So often when I’m working with or reading people, I find that they’re ultra-sensitive to others’ energy, emotions and physical states. Because they don’t understand that their sensitivity is actually a highly-developed part of their intuitive abilities, they can easily become bombarded and overwhelmed with negatively charged energy, often to the point of carrying that energy as if it was their own. This can make it difficult for them to be around people or to be in large crowds, and it can be disruptive to life’s ordinary events. Being ultra-sensitive can cause psyche and psychic depletion, and if not managed it can, over the course of time, have a negative impact their physical health. As a medical intuitive, I’ve found that it can be an underlying contributor to things such as allergies, muscle issues, hypothyroidism, insomnia, and even weight gain.

It’s true that all people are sensitive. However, some people are ultra-sensitive and the term used for this increased sensitivity is empathic. Being empathic, means that you amplify and magnify all information coming into your brain in a way that heightens your instinctive (intuitive) awareness, so you’re able to interpret the hidden meanings behind what you see, hear, feel, and touch. This can be a marvelous ability if you understand what it is, what it’s for, and learn how to develop it in a way that it can help you be more expressive and can help you get more in-tune with your spiritual nature. It can also be a positive, powerful ability that can be used to help other people understand themselves and their sensitivities. Without this understanding, it can be very unsettling and can alter both how you interact with people and how you live your life.

Topics include:

• What it means to be empathic.
• The difference between empathic, intuitive, and spiritual.
• The connection between personality, empathic, and intuition.
• The neurological communication centers of the empathic brain.
• The different kinds of empathic sensitivity.
• How to differentiate if what you’re feeling is yours or someone else’s.
• The importance of living in your body and taking care of it.
• How to be empathic and live a normal life.
• Techniques to bring out, enhance, and balance your empathic skills.

How do you know if this audio download is right for you? Ask yourself these questions:

• Do people tell you that you are too sensitive for your own good?
• Do you feel overwhelmed with inexplicable emotions that don’t feel like your own?
• Can you feel other people’s physical ailments?
• Do you pick up emotions, thoughts, and sensations that can’t be explained by logic or by your past experiences?
• Do you feel drained, agitated, and sad when around people?
• Do people seek you out and tell you things about their lives even when you don’t want them to?
• Can you be thinking about someone and have them call or show up?
• Can you pick up thoughts from someone else and say what they’re thinking?

If you answered “yes” to any one of these statements, or to all of these statements, then you’ll want to download the Science and Art of Being Empathic Telegathering.

This audio download provides an exciting look into the world of being empathic and helps you learn what you can do to harness and develop your empathic skills.

Simple Tips for Successful Change

Simple Tips for Successful Change

I don’t know about you, but here it is mid-March already and many of my New Year’s Resolutions are still merely words on a piece of paper. Yikes! How did that happen? I had such great intentions to tackle them all, and because I knew that deep down somewhere inside me resides Superwoman, I really thought I could do it all, be all, and have it all. I mean I did everything right. I spent hours pondering what I wanted to add to the list, I carefully listed the resolutions and prioritized them in their importance, and after thinking long and hard I wrote down all of the action steps necessary so I could finally once and for all create the balance in my life and the abundance of time, health, and prosperity that I desired.

So, what happened? Life got in the way as did my never ending task list. It seems like everything went crazy after the first of the year. My already busy schedule became busier. My "what’s urgent" list grew faster than my "what’s important" list. My aging parents needed extra help, and even my little dog decided that her playing time and her "I need you to love me" time was more important than anything else. What happened is that I, like millions of other people, fell back into the daily routines and the grind that I vowed that I would move beyond in 2012.

However, I just had a good long talk with myself and asked my willpower to step in and help me through this. I asked it not to push me forward with brute strength, so that when I got to where I wanted to be I would not be so tired, frustrated, and mentally wasted that I couldn’t enjoy it. Instead, I asked my willpower to help me, when in the throes of busyness, to keep me focused on what’s important. I asked it to help me see the bigger picture. I asked it to throw me a lifeline when I felt my habits and my past were sucking me down like in quicksand, and I asked it to distract my mind when it fixates on the future. Most important, I asked my willpower to help keep me in the present moment, so I can act on my immediate desires, and subsequently, experience the sense of satisfaction that comes from when I successfully change what has held me back.

As I was dialoging with my willpower, I came to understand it differently than I had been taught to perceive it. I realized that willpower isn’t the inner brute that helps us resist temptation. Instead, it’s our free will and its gift is to help us remember that we always have a choice to do things, either the same way or in a different way. Willpower is our ability to do what we really want to do when a part of us is telling us to do what we really think we should be doing. I realized that willpower is a skill that we can develop and strengthen and I realized that when we do use it as it’s intended, we can make real and lasting change.

Here are some tips that can help you create successful lasting change.

Accept that you’re busy. Time study after time study shows that the pace of life really has increased significantly as has the busyness of life. We’re sleeping less and trying to fit more into a 24 hour day. Part of the reason that we fail to make successful change is two-fold. First, we think that if we get most or all of the tasks off our task list, then we’ll finally have the time to devote to focusing on whatever we want to change. Secondly, is that we imagine our future self as being this efficient person with Herculean powers of self-control that will ensure our success. Instead of getting caught up in these illusions, take action now by taking the first step. It might seem like a baby step, but at least it’s a step in the right direction.

Choose your hassles. In this day and age there are a lot of them. Whether they’re hassles at work, hassles with other people, hassles associated with temperamental computers or phones or other technology products, and even the hassles that come with trying to maintain or fix all of the things we own. Daily hassles not only eat up a lot of time, they eat us up mentally and emotionally, and they eat us up physically. Simply stated, hassles take energy and they use up glucose, and when glucose levels are low the brain doesn’t function optimally nor does the body. The result is that we get tired, we get low on energy, we emotionally eat, and our brain struggles with decisions. So when feeling overwhelmed with hassles, take a deep breath and prioritize where you want to put your energy. Choose the hassles that are important at the time and let go of the rest. If you can’t decide, ask yourself, "Who really gives a hoot? Is this really worth my devoting time and energy to it?"

Change the scenery. Have you noticed that when your environment, whether home or at work, stays the same, so do your ingrained habits? So when you find yourself in a habit rut and you’ll know it because you get easily distracted and begin to procrastinate, get up and change the scenery. When you change your environment, your habits automatically change.

Start small . Most of us are too ambitious in our goals and unrealistic in our self-expectations. Revisit your resolutions and refine them. Rather than vowing to lose 60 pounds, vow to lose 2 pounds a week by eating the right foods, cutting down on proportion sizes, and walking for 20 minutes a day. Then when you lose the 2 pounds congratulate yourself and up the ante the following week.

Practice self-compassion. The more you criticize yourself the less motivation and self-control you’ll have to create the change you desire. When your mind hears you criticizing yourself it goes into a supportive mode, meaning that it triggers the vicious self-criticism cycle – the cycle of "What the heck difference does it make, I might as well indulge, feel guilty, and over-indulge because it really doesn’t matter. I’ve never been successful before so what makes me think I will be now?" However, when you practice self-compassion, you shift the supportive mode of your mind to helping you remember what you really want and you turn it into a cheerleading machine that will help you keep going even when you want to stop.

Anticipate setbacks. Okay, I want you to say to yourself, "I’m only human." In doing so, you’ll be more patient and tolerant of yourself and it’ll be easier for you to deal with the times when the demands of life override working on your resolutions. If you keep track of your energy highs and lows on a daily basis, you’ll begin to see when you’re motivated and feeling on top of things and when you’re tired and lacking motivation. Do yourself a favor and don’t try to push yourself to work on your resolutions. Especially new ones when you’re in a low cycle. All you’ll do is frustrate yourself, and you’ll trigger that vicious self-criticism cycle. Instead, work on your resolutions when you’re motivated and on top of things every day.

Practice Patience. Patience isn’t something the world encourages or fosters with its need for instant gratification. However, the latest research has found that it actually takes 66 days to form a new habit rather than the 28 to 30 days which was previously believed. Even better, this study showed that a single setback doesn’t predict failure. It is how the person recovers from a setback that ultimately determines how successful they are at creating and sustaining lasting change.

Accentuate the positive and ignore the negative. Take a moment and think about the people in your life. Are they positive and supportive? Or are they negative and critical? It’s tough to make lasting changes on your own, so surround yourself with people who are positive and upbeat, and who’ll encourage your efforts. Nothing is more inspirational than having a buddy or buddies to share those moments of success.

Manage your stress. Stress doesn’t only affect the body, it affects the mind. When the brain is stressed it goes into mental overload due to the flooding of the hormone cortisol. As a result, it has difficulty focusing, concentrating, and making decisions. Stress alters how you perceive the world and affects how you cope with the challenges life presents. It divides your attention, which forces your brain to discard critical sensory signals that influence how you think, causing you to feel emotionally overwhelmed and mentally overloaded. This not only makes it difficult to decide where to put your energy, it makes it difficult to deal with change. If you find yourself stressed, distressed, and pressed give yourself some "timeout" time. This is time away from the household chores, ringing phones, ceaseless emails, work issues, and all of your relationships and distractions. It’s you time and it can be a day, a weekend, or longer. Unplugging from the daily grind does wonders when it comes to inspiring you to move forward with those resolutions. Who knows, perhaps this was even one of your resolutions.
