Tides of Infinity

Akh lol, the one person that is too overwhelming for me wants to go to America next year, and asked me in jest to go with him. Ahh…ahaha, that’s tricky as I planned to go next year anyway. I’ll have to be quiet about that one, I think. xP

Energetic souls are good bursts of energy for short periods of time. But peaceful souls are wonderful, wonderful gems of my time. As I, too, am quite peaceful.

Hi Sam :) I have been an empath ever since I was a very small child (I am now in my early 20’s) However I struggle constantly with the intensity. For example, if a person whom is upset or angry or distressed in any way is in the same room as me, it can overwhelm me to a point where it affects me physically, I will get short of breath, become tense, headaches and feel unwell etc. Do you, or the sangha have any advice for how I might be able to manage this better. Thank you <3

There are many techniques your fellow empaths use to insulate themselves.  First, before you go out into the world center yourself and calm your spirit. Second, recognize that the energy and emotion you are experiencing is not your own. Third, use a mantra or third eye visualization, anything to focus your consciousness away from painful emotion. Avoid emotional hot spots. Avoid energy vampires i.e. those people who feed off the chaos they produce. We are very sensitive to these people.  In your meditation develop a “pure essence”. This is a visualization technique where we see our deepest core as a perfect jewel, incorruptible and inviolate. This technique can be used in all stressful situations or when you feel intruded upon or violated. Breathe. Yep, pranic breathing really helps.  Don’t be afraid to walk out of a room if necessary. 

I hope this helps.

:) it’s chilly, but I’m going to enjoy the drive to see my friends, as well as enjoy seeing them!

Driving + music therapy. Makes me feel like I’m in a space shuttle with all that dubstep. Traversing the roads of hyperspace.

My heart/body is stressed. It physically feels awful and I never want to let it get to this point again. I’m going to make changes. I’m clearly not following my dreams adequately, and I’m putting my energy into the wrong things.

I’ve been feeling strange yesterday and today. Its not normal for me, or natural, and it feels parasitic! its not me! I think I’m stressed and I’ve absorbed negativity or simply taken too much of other people’s problems onto myself and realized a lot of my own environment isn’t nurturing either. Stress and worry. So it’s all come at once. I’m not normally like this, I’m normally quite bubbly and energetic, I think I thought I was emotionally invincible or something. :P

I’d like to get back on my feet soon. I know I can re-energize myself with patience. I wonder how I can learn from this and not get too involved with helping people, because it seems I tend to give too much away. How do I know too much is too much. My heart feels heavy and I can feel the stress it’s put on my body.

and also, I need to surround myself with positive people. And not indulge in my reactive emotions, it burns me out, I find

and new management at work is stressing me out. I’m indeed looking for a second job. And I think the crappy food I’ve been eating has no doubt contributed to feeling blegh! More raw foods!

We’re just not designed to live like this. This isn’t fun. There is another way, a natural way. And I want to return to it. I don’t want to be weighed down in the heaviness of this world, it has made an artificial mess, and I want to wake up rejuvenated and flowing with whatever the days inspiration takes me. That’s how life should be!

Allergic to consumer culture, it’s time to get back to nature. Everything we think is normal is actually giving me a headache.

I’m just going to lay here face down.

Lol.
