Every Gift is a Blessing
Although, it definitely may not seem so for the young medium, who constantly has ghosts around him, or even for the young clairvoyant, who is constantly seeing negative images, gifts are just that – gifts, and are never, ever a curse.
The law of attraction intensely applies to those who have spiritual gifts of any nature. It is extremely important, that you stay positive, if you want to be able to help others in a positive way. When the metaphysically gifted person becomes negative, all that can be seen or felt is negative.
Staying positive does not mean, however, that you will never see, experience, feel, or otherwise receive negative information, as we are given information in order to help. This is why learning the arts of grounding and detachment are essential to the well being of those who find themselves with gifts seemingly beyond their control. Learning techniques that help one ground themselves and detach themselves from the stream of information they receive is what brings more control.
Fear is the number one negative emotion that must be worked through. Being fearful, brings more to fear, as any other emotion constantly felt brings more of the same. Learning detachment and grounding will help in this area, but most important is to realize there is nothing to fear. The visions and feelings do not belong to you, and the ghosts are not here to frighten you. Compassion is the key.
Empaths and Addiction
Taken from my upcoming ebook, Coping Strategies for Empaths.
A wide variety of vibrations are projected through the wide variety of creative outlets through which empaths release their emotions into the world. The emotion that the empath projects through their creative works, words, and, ultimately their vibration level, either helps to raise the total consciousness of our world, or keep it lower. There are those who are at all levels and stages within their awareness of their abilities as an empath. This “imbalance” actually helps to maintain balance in the vibration levels of our planet. All things and people are connected, therefore, as the higher vibrations rise, so do the lower vibrations rise.
If you are an empath, there is no doubt, that you are ultimately here for light work in some form. There are huge numbers of empaths on our planet during these times. We have literally come together as a team to bring the vibration levels of our planet to a higher state of consciousness.
Some empaths may have come into this lifetime, highly aware, and may have known from early ages the power of their emotion. Others may have “awakened” to what it all means at many different stages of life.
Typically the empath first comes into awareness, not by realizing the power of their own emotion through their own projection of it, but by realizing they are feeling the emotion of others around them. In cases where the gift of empathy is accompanied by the gift of mediumship, the empath may have realized they could feel the emotion of those who are no longer living, even before they may have realized they were also absorbing emotion from the living around them.
Many, though, even with the gift of empathy and mediumship combined, may still have taken a while to realize they were literally feeling the emotions of others. In this time of “sleeping” the risk for addictions for the empath is high. The risk is also high among those who are aware of this part of the gift of empathy, but see it as a curse with no escape, as they empath may look for ways to make it go away.
We have seen many, many empaths on our world stages, create, and reach massive audiences with whatever vibration they were projecting through their release of the emotion contained within them, and we have also watched many drug their way straight out of this world before our eyes. Beautiful, spirited, entertainers, who turned to drugs during some part of their path, and many, even though they may have been later more aware, found themselves still struggling with the addiction long after.
The absolute clearest I can be on this issue is, you can’t make it go away. You have it because you are to learn to work with it, and master the flow of your energy to join with others to help raise the consciousness of our world. As we wake up, we help others wake up.
There are many different coping strategies throughout your early levels of learning about your gift, and how to effectively cope with it, and do what you have ultimately come here to do with it. It is not a curse. It is, however, a great responsibility to have the gift of empathy, and very important that empaths learn to cope with and grow with the gift in a positive and healthy manner.
The emotion the empath absorbs must be released. The gift of empathy is always combined with a creative gift as well, as a means to cope with, and release emotions, but more importantly, with the empath who is aware, to help raise the vibration levels by reaching an audience with any and all of those creative gifts, and projecting positive emotion.
Here are a few pointers for keeping addiction at bay if you are an empath:
Remember this: Positive is the key to the happy empath. The happy empath projects positive emotion.
It is absolutely essential to keep in a positive environment, keep your mind positive, and deal with your emotion at the root level thereby turning it into a lesson rather than being reactive.
Let yourself be open and feel, and be aware of the reasons within you behind the feelings. This will lesson their power over you.
Be aware of when your emotion changes with your environment, and is not stemming from within you. Learn to follow the source of emotion through observation.
Meditate daily.
Practice deep breathing.
Stay away from negative people.
Find something to be grateful for in everything, everywhere.
Know what calms you and partake in it when you start to feel stressed or anxious.
Spend time in nature and often.
Use your creative outlets and flow from your passions. Do what you love.
And finally, realize that the emotion that is your own, within you, is a beautiful gift given to you as a guiding point to learn and grow from. Rather than resist it, be open to it and let it flow through you. What we resist, strengthens, so if you are resisting negative emotion, then it is only bringing more negative to you. Examine it, and get to the root source within you about why you feel the emotion, and work through it from there. Through this learning and growth process, the cause for the emotion is healed rather than given strength to continue to reoccur.
Why Am I Seeing 4:44 on the Clocks?
Q. Hi Beth,
What do you make of this:
4:44 Coincidence
Seeing 4:44 on clocks all week
My Tumbleweed Eternity song is 4:44 min long
Seeing 3:33; 2:22 5:55 on my iphone almost every night,
(I am suddenly awakened and see these times on my iphone)
777 on highway billboard while telling the stories about My 4:44 coincidences.
This happens several times a day, when I check the time. -Jeff
A. Hi, Jeff! Thank you so much for your question! I’m honored to be able to answer it for you!
First of all, these are not coincidences. This is special communication from spirit, a “wake-up” call, if you will. Numbers have specific meanings, and when we pay attention we are guided by them through spirit.
There are a great many people across the world experiencing this phenomenon, which eventually leads to seeing 11:11, 1:11, 9:11, and virtually everything with 11 in it everywhere you go and within everything you do! Most, when they get to 11:11, say it isn’t associated with wanting to know time, but just a pull towards the display. (including myself)
What does it all mean? There is a great wealth of information from others who are experiencing it, sharing their answers to try to help others. You can google 11:11 and read for days!
Some common factors about 11:11ers:
A lifelong feeling of not ever being alone.
Had “imaginary” friends or saw people others did not as a child, ie ghosts, spirits, guides, etc.
A feeling of “landing” in the wrong place, not belonging with family, surroundings, etc.
Negative situations present in childhood that built strength and character.
Many have had brushes with death, ie accidents, fatal illnesses they survived, etc.
Highly creative within the arts or sciences. Other people who are sharing this phenomenon with you are artists, scientists, writers, psychics, mediums, musicians, broadcasters, counselors, psychologists, healers, and the list goes on and on, but all are highly creative, and have always been “in service” to others in one way or another.
A vivid “inner” life
Being empathic, ie, being able to literally feel others’ feelings, whether being aware of it or not. (and also projecting emotion)
These, of course, are only a few….
Here are the answers that have been given to me about this phenomenon by my own guides, and experiences:
When I’ve asked, “What does this mean?” I am told, “You are awakening.”
When I’ve followed with, “To, what?!” I am told, “Consciousness.”
When I asked, “Is there something I should do?” I have been told, “Help raise vibrations.” “Create.” “Write.” “Lift.” “Love.”
The best I can say to you is, pay attention to what is happening right before this happens to you. What were you thinking, doing, etc.? This is a message in itself, and guidance.
Ask for Guidance and it will be given. Meditate. Create. Love.
Where Is a Good Place to Find Help For Empaths?
Q. From a twitter friend: I’m wondering if you’d have any idea of the best place for me to find info. I’m an empath but just recently realized so. Any ideas??
A. There is a great wealth of information out there across the internet that other empaths put out in efforts to help others like yourself. Connecting with others can be a wonderful help, as we often may feel alone with this extraordinary ability.
The best place to learn, truly, though, is within yourself. To learn to better “identify” where feelings belong, spend time meditating daily, ask for help from God, your guide, and your angels. They will guide you.
Things that are beneficial (almost crucial) to your well being as an empath, are:
1. Surround yourself with as many positive and uplifting people as you possibly can.
2. Avoid those who are chronically negative.
3. Find a creative outlet to release all the energies you “absorb” throughout the
day, and USE IT EVERYDAY. (art, writing, poetry, anything creative, as empaths
always also have a creative gift in order to do so.)
4. Practice observing the emotion as it is felt, and identifying where it is coming
from. The more you do this, the easier it gets. This helps to “detach” yourself
from the emotions that do not belong to you.
5. Be very aware of your ability to project emotion to others. We not only absorb,
we also project. Use this ability to uplift others around you. This, in turn,
allows you to “absorb” more positive energy.
When we take in emotion from others that we do not release, we can literally make ourselves physically ill. Both grounding yourself and releasing are very important for your well being!
When Did You First Realize You Were Psychic?
Q. From a twitter friend: When did you first realize you were psychic?
A. Honestly, I don’t know what it is like to not be psychic. I have been able to see and hear things that others do not throughout my entire life. My first memory of “seeing” something and realizing it was not “normal” was between the ages of 3 and 4.
It was not something I was able to really talk to anyone about as a child, although my family always saw me as “different”. There was a great deal of fear that surrounded my gifts throughout my early life, as my parents were afraid for people to know. Because of that, there was a long road to releasing my own fears, further developing, and learning what I was to do with it all!
What Can I Do to Grow As An Empath?
Q. What, as an empath, can I do to grow?
http://dailyspiritonline.com
A. Lovely question. Thank you so much for asking. Your question has sparked a future post for another blog as well.
I’m taking your question to mean, what can you personally do to grow as an empath, but have given some general information as well. God Bless.
For all who are empathic, growing as an empath requires a great deal of inward time. You must get comfortable with the constant flow of feelings, learn to detach from them, and have a great way to cope with the constant flow of emotions that continually run through your spirit.
Being an empath, is a beautiful gift. Those who have it are to use it in service of others. Empathic abilities are always a part of a total package of multiple gifts.
Often being an empath is coupled with writing talents, musical talents, or art talents, and coupled with life themes such as Rescue, Humanitarian, Experience, as well as other types that are in service to others. Empaths always have other creative talents in addition to usually more than one metaphysical gift. Their creative talents are a natural way to cope with their constant emotional states.
Empaths, such as yourself, who are here with great writing talents, are here to teach, guide, bring together, and help raise the vibration levels. You have the ability to reach a mass audience.
Those, who are spiritual, usually find their calling within the specturm of light work, teaching and guiding through their creative talents, and other gifts.
Not only do empaths constantly “feel” others and their emotions, they also have the ability to project (and this is often unrealized, even if they do realize they are “feeling” others).
It is important to surround yourself with positive vibrations and support, and always be conscious of your own vibration levels. Negative environments can feel like mortal chaos to empaths, and can throw us completely out of balance if we let them, as well as others around us. Try to avoid them.
Positive thoughts, positive environments, daily meditation, and a creative outlet, as well as asking for help from God, your guides and your angels, will all help you grow as an empath.
We have been given the ability to feel others’ emotions in order to understand, grow, and help others grow.
