The Sun in My Heart ~ Thich Nhat Hanh,

2/28/2017

Today three children, two girls and a little boy, came from the village to play with Thanh Thuy. The four of them ran off to play on the hillside behind our house and were gone for about an hour when they returned to ask for something to drink. I took the last bottle of homemade apple juice and gave them each a full glass, serving Thuy last. Since her juice was from the bottom of the bottle, it had some pulp in it. When she noticed the particles, she pouted and refused to drink it. So the four children went back to their games on the hillside, and Thuy had not drunk anything.
Half an hour later, while I was meditating in my room, I heard her calling. Thuy wanted to get herself a glass of cold water, but even on tiptoes she couldn't reach the faucet. I reminded her of the glass of juice on the table and asked her to drink that first. Turning to look at it, she saw that the pulp had settled and the juice looked clear and delicious. She went to the table and took the glass with both hands. After drinking half of it, she put it down and asked, "Is this a different glass, Uncle Monk?"
"No," I answered. "It's the same one as before. It sat quietly for a bit, and now it's clear and delicious." Thuy looked at the glass again. "It really is good. Was it meditating like you, Uncle Monk?" I laughed and patted her head. "Let's say that I imitate the apple juice when I sit; that is closer to the truth."
...Without a doubt, Thuy thought that the apple juice was sitting for a while to clear itself, just like her Uncle Monk. "Was it meditating like you?" I think that Thanh Thuy, not yet 4 1/2, understands the meaning of meditation without any explanation. The apple juice became clear after resting awhile. In the same way, if we rest in meditation awhile, we too become clear. This clarity refreshes us and gives us strength and serenity…
- Thich Nhat Hanh, in "The sun my heart".

Zedo knew ~ my wise  grandfather Owl

On February 12 I Woke up in the wee hours of the night to hear Zedo, my spirit animal Owl talking . Not just a few hoots but a long conversation of many notes and tones. I know this is a sacred message from my guides all too well. My path is taking a turn and entering through the dark for awhile. Be silent, be still and allow my eyes to adjust to this darkness so I am able to see the way with greater clarity. Zedo reminds me that I have seen this before. That I floundered through it in previous times and he hopes I have learned the lesson of a calm courageous footing as I walk each step. 
Stay strong Diana soon the path will be illumined again. The Sun always rises.

Whatever the question, Alignment is the answer.

Alignment is a powerful sense of being connected to the Source of All Life. Alignment gives you an empowered anchoring system that helps you ground all your old, worn-out patterns into the Earth as compost for your new life. Alignment give you a foundation that can be likened to the spreading root system of a massive tree, anchored and safe in the Winds of Change. You can stay in balance when you are in vertical Alignment with the Light of Source energy working in and through your life.

Tools for the Empath

2/24/2017

Practice sensing your body as a galaxy of stars. Each cell of your body is a star, which emits light. As these lights pulsate and expand they are offering an energy field of joy, they are offering you a protection in their projection rather than a barrier. With each inhale fill another 'star' or cell to burst with light, with the exhale expand that Light out.
​It is the Light that heals, I am but the vessel..

Tools for an Empath

2/22/2017

 Surrender to your breath
If you suspect you are picking up someone else’s energies, concentrate on your breath for a few minutes. This is centering and connects you to your power. In contrast, holding your breath keeps negativity lodged in your body. To purify fear and pain, exhale stress and inhale calm. Stay mindful of each movement and continue to breathe until you feel the centering.

Tools for an empath

Move away
When possible, distance yourself by at least 20 feet from the suspected source. See if you feel relief. Don’t worry about offending anyone. At the gathering try not to sit next to the identified energy vampire. Physical closeness increases empathy. Step outside, walk for a bit and regroup.

The good sides of being emapathic

2/21/2017

0 Comments

 
I have expressed the difficulties in being a empath.  Know there is a beautiful balance within it also.  We experience the good vibes surrounding us =.  When in a room of joyous people we can be sent on a magic carpet of joy and elation. We empaths are filled with love and happiness. all around us.  Sometimes coming across as high or drunk but on a natural high.

 Mothers intuition combined with being empathic can be overwhelming.

 Working on addressing and honing my empathic ways these days. It is a time of healing and working on my relationship with my beautiful grown daughters. Hoping for their understanding about my short falls and stumblings of raising them when I was thought to be emotionally weak or disabled, before we knew what being an empath was. It is not an excuse, it is just who I am.
 As an empath, especially with my children, the emotions can become murky and chaotic for I feel their pain even at a distance.  Mothers intuition combined with being empathic can be overwhelming.
So I keep learning all I can so I am better equipped to help them now where I failed in their growing years.

The Dark Side of an Empath

2/20/2017

 The untold story..
You see them walk around wearing their soul on their sleeves; empaths are the smiling, ever glowing and compassionate souls.
I believe everyone has equal of light and darkness within them, empaths are those who emphasize on the light within in them and also believe in spreading it. People take them as someone meant to dispel the darkness but what they don’t realize is anything that emits light burns within, be it the sun, a filament bulb or a candle. Emapths are no exception.
They feel things; understand things which no one else can. Empaths have this unexplainable gift which comes with a high cost and many cons. The energy they are surrounded with talks to their soul, words is mere formality. By the time you finish formal introduction, his soul will have taken yours for a walk. This might sound baffling but an empath doesn’t need to spend days, months or years with you to know what you’re made of. Just a touch of your soul i.e. few minutes and he will have sensed the energy in you and in another minutes your souls would be playing together.
Looks like a happy world, doesn’t it? But my dear, the world is fucked up place; there are also toxic people, the abusive scavengers who just want their selfish motives fulfilled. Any sane person in their right mind would avoid such people; at least after knowing them but our hero here, the empaths won’t do so. ‘No’ is way too rude for an empath to speak and is rarely constituted in their vocabulary. As a result the empath allows itself to be manipulated, used and abused but still believes they are doing it for a greater good and their utmost purpose i.e. illuminating. Mind you, here the empaths don’t just drive the darkness away but absorb it and confide it within them. An empath suffers in silence, no matter how much he is suffocating from the hands of darkness around his throat, still smiles and is always ready to extend his hands for help. It takes every bit of his strength to not give in to the darkness.
He has his demons to fight, his flaws to correct and depression to deal with but my dear, you first. They always put others before them. It doesn’t require a personal tragedy for them to suffer. While a death of a child shown in news may make everyone sad for awhile but for empaths, it strikes hard, the impact is dense and deep. Even if they wanted to they couldn’t feel less intensely. There is a tsunami taking its toll inside them but even for a second they won’t lose their composure. There are rarely any occasions where they break down and lose control.


If you think that’s messed up, there is still more to come. As empaths are sensitive to energy and vibration around them, company is not their cup of tea, or coffee, whatever you prefer. When they are around too many people the various type of energy confuses them and triggers a chaos within them. They seek solitude to let the tides settle and get their composure back. Though a lonely soul, an empath desires for a companion or at least be in a company with people who love them and accept them for who they actually are. An empath knows no boundary of love, it often makes people suspicious of how could someone possibly shower so much love in such short time of knowing each other.
People cannot take love in high dose, it’s a tragic fact that empaths are often dumped saying ‘you’re too good for me.’ Well that makes no sense to me but if I have to deduce it then may be it’s a fear of not being able to reciprocate. Maybe. IDK.
​This desire to be loved and wanted often leads them to fall prey to the manipulators and thereafter be exploited and abused.

They are literally blinded by love and generosity in their heart, so much that they are often willingly led into traps of narcissists. Those who pose to be exploited and victimized pull them in and our hero the savior walks in to take the pain way, in quest to drive out their darkness fall into their nasty games. Empaths are not made of stones and they do feel the pain. Even when they know there is danger ahead they cannot resist this urge to help. They find their escape in rescuing others. They have this feeling that by helping others, they are helping themselves.


They cannot light other lives while keeping theirs dark forever. The refusal to address their own pain doesn’t serve them good in the long run. The struggle for empaths is harder as they don’t only deal with their pain but also those which absorbed from others. It’s not like they have no idea of the burdens they carry or the sufferings they are going through but they seek the remedy of their sufferings and pain that lives within them in illuminating someone else’s life.
It’s for the empaths to feel any emotion more penetratingly than others. No wonder they have to deal with most heartaches and pain but they just don’t give in to the dark side. Such pain could be avoided by learning to cope with all the energies around, they need to distinguish between the emotions that belongs them and that ones that emanate from outside.
The world needs more empaths but empaths don’t really need to pay this cost.

Let it Go

Let it go?  How often we hear this. Just Let it go. We can not let it go until we know what we are letting go.  We need to bring the issue festering deep inside to the surface first.  It is bubbling and stirring and wanting you to pay attention.  It wants to go it wants to be free also.  But you must first bring it out either written or verbally for this helps to sort it out. Once you have all the components, the emotions and self criticisms and blame in the palm of your hand brought to clarity then you are able to raise them to the heavens letting them go to be transmuted for the highest good of all.
​And so it is.

​For 40 years I looked for my Father.  He died when I was 11. He was the only nurturing person in my life. I had to find out where he went.  For several years I thought they may have put him in the secret wing of the hospital where JFK was supposedly kept after being shot.  I figured my Dad was just as important as JFK, and they only told us they were dead. 
I read every book I could find, I studied Life after Death at every turn.  I searched and searched.  One day, years later, I accepted the fact that he actually did die, but still, where did he go.
In 2004 I took on a job as a gravedigger.  One of the most honorable jobs I ever had, I loved it. We not only dug the graves we also maintained the serene grounds.. I did some of my deepest meditations there propped under a tree during lunch.
I even learned how to dowse as we did not have records for the older section of the cemetery due to a flood. Very accurate by the way.
Anyway, one night I had a dream.  In the dream I was sitting in the sextons office at sunset. Looking out the window I saw all the people rise out of their graves and walking towards the office.  I calmly opened the door and ask them "What are you all doing"  Startled to see me  they replied 
 "Oh, we thought you left, we use the bathroom in the office at night." 
When I awoke I chuckled and exclaimed "It is time to start focusing on the living" And I am..

I am sharing this because I just released long held anger and pain towards several people and events. And it has made me all the happier. Effervescent even, kind of like alka seltzer.
​

Jack Kornfield
"The practice of forgiveness grows through generosity and repetition. One of my teachers instructed me to practice five minutes of forgiveness for myself and others, twice a day for six months, which meant 360 times. Practicing with small misdeeds, such as my uncaring treatment of a friend, I repeatedly asked her forgiveness and gradually forgave myself. That experience encouraged me, but when I turned to my father, the process was much more difficult. Forgiveness took many years. It was only when he lay dying that I could look back and reflect on what had released me from our family suffering.  When, at age 75, ten years after his first heart attack, my father was near death from congestive heart failure, frightened and in pain. I sat with him over long days and late nights. He kept asking me to stay. Because I had sat with my own pain and fear in meditation, I was not afraid. Because I had sat in the charnel grounds and with others as they died, I was able to offer the steady presence he needed. By now I also knew enough not to blurt out that I loved him, but I also knew that he could feel that I did.
Years of meditation, therapy and forgiveness practices had come with me into that room. I’d worked with my rage at my father and my sorrow and frustration as a frightened, impotent child. One day I pictured the yellow linoleum floor in the backroom where my father was beating my mother. I wanted to beat him and to rescue her. I felt sorry for and angry at my mother for her weakness, and for her collusion with his brutal arrogance. I struggled to release my father and all his rigid, paranoid violence. I relived the nighttime scenes where his eyes would become glazed and crazed looking, and the old bastard would curse and hit and hurt us, his family."
