When we stop and think about it, being an empath is a powerful thing. if we have the ability to absorb and feel so much just think what we could offer to the world, this world. I think of that ocean cleaning gadget that is like a vortex that absorbs all the trash. That be us.
The world is going through a state of pandemonium as all living things are feeling a sense of impending doom. They are fighting to survive, a feeding frenzy of not letting go of the old ways even though they haven't worked.
Being an empath is not easy. It takes work and discipline to fine tune this superpower. When we first realize we are empathic we feel validated for all those years of emotional dis ease and pain. We realized, yes we were victims of narc, sociopaths and any other word that describes those who hurt us so deeply. But know once you go through that phase of feeling sad and pissed that you were a victim because of it, you can not live in that state for long. It is time to take care of yourself for you are needed.
So love of yourself dear Angels....you are on a mission. You will start out shielding yourself fully until you first heal yourself of all those emotions of others you have been carrying for years. Learn all you can for you have been given a rare benevolent gift.

I so love The Mothers tribute to empaths.

Sometimes the best therapy is just spending a loving day together with those you have missed. 

 The way we walk into someone elses space defines how they will receive you. We must enter first with the intent to be trusted. To make sure they first feel safe. To aggresively and loudly push ourselves and our beliefs immediately at someone only puts them in the position to react by putting up their guards and shields in protection. It is disrespectful and intrusive to enter without first knocking. 
I recently met a woman who felt she was here to awaken people to her God. She was on a pilgrimage to address to others her one on one conversations with her God for she regarded herself as a disciple within the Christian movement. She felt she had to immediately tell you God talks directly to her and tells her special messages. As I watched peoples reaction to this aggressive approach I witnessed two reactions and both were of people pulling away from her fervish message for they either saw her as delusional or as arrogant. 
Do we wish to break a horse or gentle a horse? 
​ 
​In every interaction we have with another our walk or approach into their energy field will decide the fate of our relationship. WE must always be respectful.

Drumming

BY MADISYN TAYLORThe rhythm of drumming is easy for our bodies to take in as was the rhythm of our mother's heartbeat.

That rhythm renews us is no secret. Drumming is the oldest form of music on the planet. Virtually every culture that exists or has existed on earth has practiced some form of drumming. In Africa, the beating of a drum continues to be an important part of significant ceremonies and holiday celebrations. Native American cultures use drumming as a means to reconnect an individual's mental and physical selves. Throughout history, drumming has been a part of performing rituals, marking significant transitions, and celebrating life's cycles. Our lives are infused with rhythm beginning at the very moment we first sense our mother's heartbeat in her womb. 

All manner of drumming has the ability to put us in touch with our own natural rhythms, the rhythms of the earth, and the rhythms of the people we choose to drum with. The drum can represent the heart, and drumming awakens the mind while stirring the soul. Drumming can take you to a place deep inside you where you are keenly aware of your mind and your body, as well as the vital bond between the two. Much like human beings, each drum has its own vibration and voice. Drumming alone can help you release tension, dispel stress and aggressive feelings, and restore your energy. It can also give you an opportunity to reestablish your connection to Mother Earth, as the beat of a drum can represent a crack of lightning, pounding ocean waves, or the tumult of an earthquake. 

Drumming with others brings with it many benefits. Taking part in a drumming circle attunes us to the invisible energy that exists between us while uniting us in a common purpose. Drumming can be relaxing as well as energizing. It quiets mental chatter and can create a peaceful meditative state. In Navajo lore, the drum is the Great Spirit's favorite instrument. It is said that this is why all human beings were given a heartbeat. The rhythmic beating of a drum can move us into new realms of consciousness. There is no right or wrong way to drum, and everyone has the innate ability to create rhythm. When you drum with intention, you'll discover the rhythms that move you.

“In every culture and in every medical tradition before ours, healing was accomplished by moving energy.”
– Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, Biochemist and Nobel Prize Winner.


Energy medicine is based on the supposition that illness results from disturbances in the body’s energies and energy fields and can be addressed via interventions into those energies and energy fields. 
​
Your body is designed to heal itself.

Everything is energy.
We each have our own energy field within and around us. Imagine an engine sitting in the sun humming away.  You are actually able to see the heat thermals the movement makes around the engine.  Now think of your pumping heart creating it’s own thermal.   An EKG can detect the vibration of our heart 3 feet from the body.  If your kidneys are malfunctioning the energy field surrounding it is weak and unprotected. Opening you up for disease and degeneration.
Energy controls the nerves, organs and all the muscles and must flow freely for good health. So if our EF is blocked, stressed or out of alignment then we have lost our rhythm and every other part of us is affected. This 5 minute movement of energy will keep us balanced,strong and healthy.  It will clean energetic baggage aligning our matrix for our emotional physical or spiritual well being to flow properly.
  If you are presently experiencing any health issues then it means you are off kilter, weakened, and need to practice these movements a couple times a day to restore your system of health.  Using these exercises daily will also help prevent any off base issues. So make this short and easy exercise part of your day everyday if not twice a day.
 The beauty of these movements is you do not need any special tools or gadgets to buy and you can do them anywhere.

   4 thumps ~ restores energy, bolsters immune system
   Thymus ~ activates immune system
   Shoulder crossover ~ brings poles into alignment along with mental clarity
   Wayne Cook ~ links front brain to back brain
   Crown pull ~ pumps cerebrospine fluid and oxygenates the brain release             stuck energy
   Zip up ~protects you from negative energy
   Hook Up ~ creates a connection of the the two major meridians, the                     Governing meridian and the Central meridian for a stronger EF.
    
I encourage you to learn and memorize this routine.

Be well, for the world needs your Light,

I Love Ara's writings They seem to resonate with my life more often than not.  I am sure this writing will stir within you also.

My sister,
You’re a soul deep woman; you won’t find a worthy love in the shallows. Within your chest beats a warriors heart and your bones are woven from star-dust. 
You deserve someone who sees you as holy, like the high priestess that you are. Who worships at your altar as you do theirs, in body, mind, spirit and heart. Someone whose words are prayers of reverence pressed openly against your bare soul.
Earth Mother, you deserve someone who sees that your wild medicine grows feral in the trees and honors it, not dismisses it. Someone who sees the magic that surrounds you as you move between the worlds and feel between the layers of time.
Who understands that in every petal and branch you see a ritual to be awakened and know the names of the spells etched upon the stars.

Who howls to your Full Moon light as you summon the wildfire that stirs in their veins. 
 Medicine woman, you deserve someone who understands to do the deep soul-work that you do, to walk the path of your ancient mystery is to disappear at times into the realm of the unseen; but that you will always return to them on the other side of the darkness. That your love is strong enough to withstand time and space and will last even when you move among the shadows and swim in the unknown. 
My sister, you deserve someone who will choose you fully and actively seek to build a world with you, one of peace, love and passion. A wanderer who longs for the little adventures that are found on a Saturday morning out on the open road listening to songs that others make fun of.  
You deserve a best friend who wants your calm, your storm and every loving breath in between. One who understands the deep healing found in deep belly laughter, silliness and laying bare in one another’s arms.
For you, dear soul, only one who embraces you in your wholeness will ever do; someone who will never half-love you or pluck you only to watch you wither. One who opens fully for you to behold their medicine as they do yours; one who will never be satisfied until their roots have penetrated all the way into the depths of your nourishing soil. One who loves the fire in your veins and the thunder in your spirit. One who celebrates you for all that you are.

My dear sister, somewhere on this planet beats aheart deserving of your fire. 
 Somewhere, there is one worthy of your magic made of flesh, blood and spirit who is not afraid to dance in your endless depths. One who will never settle for less than the brilliance that you are. 

Take your throne sister, rise up and take your crown. Hold your head high, for the one that can see your bright light is a spirit with a warrior heart to match your own.
Those who are unworthy can never truly see. Never settle for the shade when you were born to shine.
My sister, never forget that you are a soul-deep woman and you won’t find a worthy love in the shallows.

Blessings,
Ara

We hear so much about being mindful throughout our day. And rightly so.  You are receiving messages all around you and unless you are paying attention you will not see them. 
One morning many years ago I woke up in tears.  I had no clue as to why just  an uprising of grief and loneliness. Sobbing I took my coffee and headed outside to the porch and sat on the stoop. Looking down were two perfect black feathers. Black feathers?  I knew this was a message from the other side, my angels telling me I was being protected by someone I loved and lost. When I went back into the house , with my feathers,  looked on the calender and saw it was October 6 ~ the date my Father passed away many years ago. 
It thrilled me and calmed me to know my Father and another loved one, who I felt was my Mother at that time were with me on this anniversary of transition day.
Walking through your day you are never alone, so be aware of the little things that surround you. The gifts and chatterings to you.
