What a schedule!

I was writing last night about the Universe not being on my time schedule - and having learned that lesson, the Universe has shown that the answers can come very quickly if you don't try to rush it.

Today, I was reading various wise writings from friends at MySpace.com.  The following was posted today. It not only provided me with the tools to cushion myself from negative energy, which I had asked about last night, but it explained a lot about this current life of mine and why I feel the way I do and have the experiences I do. PRETTY DARN COOL!

"I have been an energetic healer and counselor for over 10 years, and have found that 95% of all communication is not verbal or physical. It is energy on many levels. Certainly you have walked into a room before and encountered someone you did not know, yet had a feeling about that person, good or otherwise. Whether you are sitting in a movie theater or restaurant or standing in an elevator, you emanate a quality of energy in all directions at all times that is the unique energetic signature of your being.

That same energy is the signature of you as an individuated spirit, a multidimensional being who is unique in the universe. It is that same 95% that creates the meetings with others, that creates the relationships in which you engage, that creates the possibility for you to learn a life lesson.

At first, this presents us with an interesting puzzle. We live in a oneness with no separation, yet we are unique beings. We use phrases like "I think" and "I see" and "I believe," and yet there is no separation between us as we exist in this oneness of being. It is quite an enigma, for it is that very same oneness that allows an intuitive healer to tap into you, whether you are there in the same room or speaking on the telephone and separated by a great distance.

In metaphysics, there is no space and no time. They are not limiting factors in the information, wisdom and healing that is available on all levels of our beings. So often this is difficult to embrace, because most of us in Western society tend to only regard the physical being as viable, with little consideration for those parts of us that are non-physical, but every bit as essential to our existence.

It is necessary to embrace that part of our natures that is not physically borne, not because it is on some other level, but because our metaphysical nature coexists seamlessly with our physical nature in a continual exchange of life energy. It is that very same oneness where reality exists, where the boundaries between the physical and the non-physical evaporate in the light of greater understanding of our true natures.

We are, as human beings, composed of four archetypal energies: mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual. Look at most tarot decks, and you'll see the four minor arcana suits are divided into these same distinctions of human character. It is the congruence of these energies flowing along together through time that allows our lives to be productive and meaningful. If one or more are out of balance, suffering ensues as our illusions in life are challenged by the realities we encounter.

So as we go along through life composed of these four components of being human, the energies exchange and intertwine with each other between several dimensions in a dance of experiential existence. And through our experiences, we garner the wisdom to push through our illusions, thus reducing suffering and hardship in our lives.

Your metaphysical nature is set to a certain degree in each lifetime by specific parameters of karma, mission statement, skill sets and chakra disposition. That is, most of us are governed by one or more chakras that influence the psychology of our beings through their respective attributes. One's life and challenges become a stage where the predominant chakric disposition orchestrates that life's lessons in a way that the participant must experience. Knowing your disposition, chakric strengths and weaknesses helps you to gain understanding of why you may tend to live your life the way you do, and why certain repetitive patterns occur. It is understanding of our metaphysical natures through our given dispositions that engenders true self-empowerment.

As you grow in consciousness, you begin to understand how and why situations are created for your learning, and how best to optimize your life path. Your weakness becomes your strength, and your strength your weakness. And by remembering within you are all answers, you empower yourself through that same chakra by making conscious decisions based on your awareness of your orientation towards this lifetime.

With the evolution of consciousness in our world today, more and more people are experiencing not only their own growing pains, but the growth of others as well. In this instance, consider the person who has incarnated with a heart chakra disposition. In my opinion, an individual must have had several lifetimes of right action and behavior, or dharma, before that person could qualify for such a path. This is the accrual of merit and individual accomplishment of character that one carries with them from incarnation to incarnation. Thus the person who incarnates in their heart carries an inherent experiential goodness, above and beyond the inherent spiritual goodness that we all possess.

It also means that the individual comes through in this lifetime as psychically sensitive, and this is conveyed through that 95% of all communication that is not physical to all others around them. So not only are heart-chakra individuals faced with the living of their own lives, they are sensitive to the energies of others around them to the extent that they become living sponges that soak up the emotional energies of others. In my experience, one in fourteen people are empaths.

This "taking on" can create a negative, compressive energy in the emotional energy field of the individual. This can often create a problem, because most empaths do not know that they are in fact empaths. Most empaths, not knowing that they are taking on this energy in a non-physical way, are unaware of the origin of their suffering, and the negative compressive emotional energy can have deleterious effects, because that person also would not know how to clear the energy or dispose of it.

Many heart-chakra beings suffer continually, taking on the negative energies of humanity as a result of living many good past lives. They often do not see their own goodness, but rather may sometimes take on suffering as a validation of their lives. This is done through love, not as a purposeful self-destruction, but because of the intense self-realized goodness that the empath has lived in past incarnations.

Many physiological and psychological issues can develop from a heart-chakra disposition, and with the heart chakra, issues can become systemic to the body, mind and emotions. Physical issues include problems with the heart itself, respiration, ribs, thymus, skin, joints, fibromyalgia, blood flow and blood quality, weight retention, and other issues systemic to the body.

Psychological issues include a loss of personal identity, depression, loss of the ability to think clearly, personal sabotage, and constant struggle to stay emotionally stable. Imagine your emotional energy field as a cup that holds water. If the cup is full, then any water (emotion) added to the cup causes it to overflow. This is the energetic equivalent of what happens to heart chakra individuals who have taken on so much energy from the people around them that any added emotion is always too much and causes suffering in some way.

Here are some exercises that the empath can do to help relieve the emotional body of negativity.

Exercise ..1 - Water Ritual - Whether you shower or bathe, imagine the water as magnetic. Knowing what a magnet does, imagine the magnetized water pulling out of you, as appropriate, any negative emotion, thought or feeling. You don't even have to know what the negativity is, just think "Release, release, release," to yourself as the negativity goes out into the water, the water goes down the drain, and you are clear. The Earth transmutes the negative energy into neutral energy. If you cannot get to a shower or bath, hold your hands under running water and think "Release, release, release." If you cannot get to water at all, just imagine it running over the back of your hand. The power of your will helps to clear you.

You can do this exercise as often as you want every day. It will help to keep your emotional energy field clear. Water is a great conductor of emotional energy, and most empaths live near water or love being in water.

Exercise ..2 - No-Stick Teflon - When in a situation like a party or gathering of people, an empath can often feel claustrophobic, as the press of many emotional energies can be very chaotic in mixed gatherings. Knowing what Teflon does for cookware, imagine "No-Stick Teflon" in your energy field. Your field will not filter any goodness that comes through, but will tend to fend off any negative emotional energies, hooks or tubes from others. You may still take on certain energies, as you must if it is within your path's learning.

Remember, people will come into relationship with an empath to work out mutual life goals. The energies are aligned across space and time through that 95% of communication that is not physical.

Most empaths find their lives to be like the hub of a many-spoked wheel. They usually find themselves in the center of a soul-group, helping to anchor the group's karma and emotional workings. Therefore, it is imperative that they keep their fields clear with regular exercise, meditation, and a sincere recognition of their inherent goodness for having incarnated in the heart chakra.

Through the empath's mere existence, the 95% of communication that is non-verbal will energetically cause others to aspire to their own greatness, because the empath represents a soul that has made diligent progress in past lives.
