Why Some People Are Pulling Away from Social Engagements

I am seeing a new trend of people pulling away from social engagements to settle into their own skin and environment these days. Some are having empathic responses (such as shaking, anxiety, unexplained weeping) to the energy of an ascending world that seems to be going crazy.

But, some “retreaters” are pulling away because they feel the need to withdraw and go inward to get more connected with Source and guidance. Even powerful healers are feeling the need to withdraw.  Some have had significant soul shifts and need to integrate this multidimensional energy before they go out into the world again. Learn about the roller coaster dark night of the soul (in repeated episodes) and what is going on when you can’t seem to keep your vibration steady.

Empaths Becoming More Aware

One empath I spoke with said he is becoming more aware of the energy around him and the spiritual gifts he has. Yet at the same time he has been somewhat afraid of it. For him, this stems from religious philosophies, which told him that these are not gifts of God—that they are really from the devil. You may have been brought up to believe that these types of sensitivities are evil but at the same time (even as a child) you’ve had awareness, sensations, feelings, or inner knowings. If so, you may be a little conflicted about how to approach their use. Perhaps you haven’t tried to develop these gifts because you are afraid you’ll go too far or don’t know what kind of boundaries you should set.

First let’s take a look at a beloved teacher, Jesus. Once he was in a crowd of people when a woman touched the hem of his garment. Instantly he knew virtue (healing energy) had gone out of him and he asked, “Who touched me?” He was that sensitive! He felt it when someone was tapping into his electromagnetic field even though she only touched his clothing! I remind you of the verse that tells us that every good and perfect gift, spiritual gifts, comes from God. There are many spiritual gifts listed in 1 Corinthians 13: the gift of prophecy, the gift of tongues, the gift of the interpretation of tongues, discerning of spirit, healing, working of miracles, etc. These are listed for our benefit so we understand that we have been gifted in some way. And there’s a responsibility to use those gifts with love. We weren’t given these gifts to hide them from the world or be afraid of them. They are tools to help us and others. When we have these intuitive gifts, it is very important to nurture our own spirit and set boundaries to keep from being bombarded by energy from everybody out there. We must love ourselves before we can love others or else there’s nothing to give. Spending time with God-Goddess is like refueling a car. You can’t run very long without more juice!

When Jesus was walking the Earth some people wanted to stone him some wanted to throne him. There was a vast difference in perspective and what people thought of him. We empaths have that same dilemma. Other people may not understand you. Maybe they are afraid of the gifts you have. Through our religious teachings we have been taught that the discerning of spirits or being able to communicate with those in the afterlife is of the devil. I’ve been called a necromancer by a close member of my family. Obviously, my gifts are not appreciated there. Does that stop me from using them? No, I use them because I have been given these gifts and I have a responsibility to use them wisely; and that’s what I intend to do. Do I flaunt them in front of my disapproving family members? No, that’s what the Bible refers to as casting your pearls before swine. There’s no need in putting something so valuable out there and allowing your gifts and sensitivities to be trampled. You can decide who you reveal your gifts to and who you use them with. In fact I’ve made it a practice that unless I have permission to pray for someone I just don’t do it. You can easily get your energy tangled up in someone else’s by meddling energetically in another person’s stuff.

Some people have a great sensitivity to energy and they see things or get impressions. They may intuitively know what is going on in another person’s life. You are not obligated to help every person you encounter, but there is something you can do. Before you decide to get involved pray about it. Breathe deeply for a few minutes and ask yourself if you should do/say anything about what you have discovered. How do you feel when you think of saying something or offering to help? Does it feel right? Do you have pain anywhere in your body or emotions? If so, avoid getting involved on a human level. If a person has not asked you to help them, they may not want your help. Do you feel lighter, joyful, or happy when you think of helping this person or mentioning what you have discerned? If so, ask for wisdom about what to do and how to approach the person.

If you keep thinking of someone and sense they need help, you may or may not need to approach them on a human level. You can always send love and light to guide their way. Simply call upon the angels to help. Imagine a beautiful beam of light coming from the cosmos, maybe pink or green. Pink represents the heart or love; green represents healing. See this beam of light going toward and surrounding the person in need. This powerful energy is like a stem cell that has divine intelligence and knows where it is needed and what to do when it gets there. This not only gives them energy to work with, it gives them clarity so they can make good decisions. They may be able to feel that strength undergirding and supporting them. If something needs changing, they can apply that energy however they want to. If it’s healing, if it’s a relationship, if it’s emotional/mental issue, it doesn’t matter, the love and light is universal. Just send that energy and let them do with it what they want as spirit directs them. By sending love and light, you are not trying to manipulate any outcome or change anything in another person’s circumstances or life. You’re not violating their free will or “fixing” a situation their soul has created from which to learn its lesson. Sending positive energy to someone is like leaving a gift on their doorstep. It provides what they need but they never know who sent the gift and you won’t have to take on other people’s stuff. You will know who and when you need to help as well as how. If you follow your inner guidance, you’ll intuitively know how far you need to go with your help and what you need to do to strengthen your own boundaries. 
If someone asks you to pray for them, then you have a responsibility to use your gifts. But, rather than using your body or emotional center (third chakra) to feel and sense, use your sixth chakra, which is also called the third eye, to see or know where you need to direct energy. It’s when we try to operate out of our own emotions and our own physical strength that we are going to be drained. But when we operate from divine power, the place of the sacred heart, it’s not us doing the work; we’re simply being a conduit. We are able to be the light, and by being the light, we’re being God. And we don’t have to worry about backlash or be concerned about what other people think.
So if you are worried about what you have been taught regarding your intuitive gifts or concerned about what other people are saying, remember where the laws of God are written. The laws that the psalmist David was talking about are not written on tablets of stone or in a book, nor are they found in religion. They are written in your heart. If something doesn’t feel right, and you have conflict about it, always go with the truth your heart reveals to you.

We Are Always Sending and Receiving Energy

Inhale, exhale. Whether it’s negative or positive, everyone is sending and receiving energy all the time. We are energy and so is everything else! Empaths tend to be a more sensitive to energy shifts.

An empath is someone who does very keenly pick up the energy of others around them. Empaths are sensitive to the energy around them—environmental as well as the electronic and human energies.  Empaths are those you might call highly-sensitive people. They are the person in your family who cried a lot. They unknowingly carry burdens that belong to someone else; and that’s what causes so many problems for the empathic or very sensitive person. They don’t realize that what they are dealing with energetically is not their own stuff. They are so tuned in to energy around them that they pick up detrimental energy, and it’s causing all kinds of disturbances in their emotional, physical, and mental health.

All of her life, I was like a receptacle for all of the stuff that was going on around me as I carried energetic burdens for others. When I turned forty her life fell apart at the seams emotionally. I had been praying a lot for others, and carrying their burdens in prayer without realizing that I was taking them to God and then picking them back up and carrying them as if I was the one who could do fix the problem or do something to change another person’s life.

As a result, I became very depressed. I was stuck in a very limited, fear-based fundamental religion that had taught me to be subservient in my relationship with my first husband. That was taking a toll on me emotionally in addition to the sensitivity that I had as an empath. I wanted to break free and make some changes to become the empowered woman I now am. That was the beginning of my spiritual shift in the late 1990s, but trying to make those shifts ended up destroying what was left of a troubled marriage. I knew I was not going to be able to grow spiritually if I stayed in that marriage and remained under a suppressive mindset that required me as a wife to submit to my husband in all things without question and do what the church says.

Choosing a new path led me to understand my spiritual or psychic gift of energy sensitivity. Without boundaries, I had been leaking energy everywhere, and was picking up energy that was detrimental to me. Over a period of about ten years I learned some grounding and centering techniques and began practicing protective exercises to get well. My first book, Whose Stuff Is This? ~ Finding Freedom from the Thoughts, Feelings, and Energy of Those Around You, includes those methods that had proven effective for her. That book also contains the story of my journey as an untrained empath, which allows others to witness how energy mismanagement can take its toll on a person. I also give examples to help remedy the situations. It’s a very transforming and powerful book. It’s the manual that I wish I’d had ten years ago!

Yvonne Perry is the author of several books including Whose Stuff Is This? Finding Freedom from the Thoughts, Feelings, and Energy of Those Around You, which is a resource for sensitive people who have been unknowingly carrying energetic burdens that belong to someone else. http://whosestuffisthis.blogspot.com/

Is the Energy of Others Draining You?

Empaths are reporting that they can sense a deep emotional connection to other people. Sometimes it’s very draining and they are not sure how to deal with it.

Empaths are energy sensitive beings; that is part of who we are and we’re always going to be that way. However, there is a way you can filter the energy and calm it down and have your own personal peace so you are able to radiate peace from within. In chapter 9 of Whose Stuff Is This?, I give a list of things that people can do to help ground and center the energy they are dealing with and I give some visualization techniques that can be used to work with energy. People have reported that these exercises are really helping them. That’s because they raise the vibration not only of your body but also your auric field and your soul’s vibration. So the detrimental things around you tend to bounce off.

If you are familiar with the Bible you may recall the scripture about putting up a shield of faith to quench the fiery darts of the evil one. We’re not calling anyone evil but we do have an electromagnetic field around us that can be strengthened with some spiritual purification practices such as deep breathing, prayers or meditation, affirmations, or grounding and centering exercises. So when that detrimental energy comes to us it hits that field like a bubble, which is flexible and is not going to pop like a soap bubble. It’s more like amniotic fluid surrounding a baby; it cushions and protects the beautiful life within. It’s the same way with us; when our aura (field) is strengthened, we are not as impacted by the environment outside of our bubble.

Many times empaths allow their auras to be thin and they pick up a lot of stuff. They tend to mesh their our field with other people’s fields, especially on a crowded subway, on a bus, or in a shopping mall where there is a cacophony of energy running wild. These are the places where empaths are the most uncomfortable. When there is a large crowd of people or there is a large crowd of people in a situation where there is a lot of grief or mourning going on, we tend to pick that up quite easily. Some of those exercises in my book will definitely help strengthen the aura. There are some practices on whosestuffisthis.com that will help people to be able to put up better boundaries. I’m not going to say protective barriers because we’re not walling off anybody and there’s really nothing to be protected from; it is a good practice to maintain your own energy field and body so you can continue to do the work that you’ve been called to do.

When I pick up something that I know is not mine, I realize now that I’ve gotten it for the purpose of transmuting that energy. One way to do that is to call on the ascended master Saint Germaine and the violent flame of transmutation. I imagine that any detrimental energy within me is being drawn outward and into a ball of light. It’s coming out of my field and out of my body into a ball of light. Then I toss the ball into the air and allow Saint Germaine to zap it with the violet flame and transmute it into love, joy, peace, happiness—all the positive things that we want more of on the planet. You’re using a higher frequency by calling on an ascended master. You are not keeping it in your body or in your field where it could to do more damage.

On whosestuffisthis.com there are resources, articles, visualizations, books, and other things that can help empaths start understanding how to manage energy and work with Universal law.

What Does It Mean to Be an Empath?

When we talk about empathy we’re saying that people have the ability to feel on behalf of another person. “I feel sorry for you.” or “I’m so sorry to hear that.” When a highly sensitive person (empath) receives bad news they may take empathy to a whole new degree. They really DO feel FOR you! In fact, they may feel the same emotional impact that you feel when you have a loss. They take it on as if it was their own grief. Or they may feel it in their body; if they are around someone who is sick, they may try to absorb that energy of sickness to transmute it.

The way empaths get into some trouble is by not being aware that they are an empath. They may not know what is happening to them; they just think they are very emotional or overly sensitive; they may get sick a lot. They don’t really understand that there is a spiritual reason and that they have been gifted with an ability that some people don’t have in order to help this earth become a better place.

Empaths many times take the suffering of others into their body to transmute it rather than working with higher energies that are available to help transmute detrimental energy. Anyone can work with ascending masters, angels, or archangels. We have a host of heavenly helpers in the spirit world who can assist us. These high-frequency beings need an anchor here on the earth and that’s where empaths and spiritually sensitive people come into play. We have signed up on a soul level before incarnating to be able to work with these divine helpers, but many times we get here in human form, and forgot why we are here. We get busy in mundane affairs of life and don’t spend time staying connected with our Source of strength; therefore, empaths suffer a lot.

The reason I wrote my book, Whose Stuff Is This? ~ Finding Freedom from the Detrimental Thoughts and Feelings of Those around You, is to help people find the freedom that comes from understanding the gift of empathy and knowing how to use it without paying a personal price. I published that book last year, 2011. Here we are a year later and I’m writing another book. It’s going to be like a sequel to the first book because now that we are in 2012, we are fully in what’s called the ascension or an awakening to oneness. It’s a shift into purer consciousness or purer thought and it’s affecting everything and everyone on the planet. Empaths seem to feel the impact more keenly than others. They have more symptoms of the shift as we’re moving toward our authentic selves and things that no longer serve us are going away. My next book, Shifting into Purer Consciousness, will teach the right use of energy and give helpful tips to integrate higher cosmic frequencies that are affecting the earth during this 2012 (and beyond) shift.

We Are Realizing Our Divine Nature

I think a lot of people are afraid of admitting that they have the divine within them. It sounds so pious, but the truth is to think of ourselves as separate from or less than God is the epitome of arrogance—like we can somehow exist without the divine. It is in the essence of this creative power that we live and move and have our being.

Jesus’ claiming to be God was the thing that did him in. One thing I think people mistakenly derive from the teachings in the Bible about Jesus is that he was somehow seeing and promoting himself as superior to us when actually he was saying, “What I do, you can do also. In fact, you can even do greater works than I have done.”

The way to do that is to follow the path he has set before us, which is to be one with God. As we see ourselves as individuations of the divine (the expanding consciousness of God) we begin to act more responsibly. Just imagine what the world would be like if everyone was told from the very beginning of their lives that they are one with god. That they are one with goddess. I think our crime level would drastically decline.

Carl Bozeman wrote a wonderful book titled On Being God. His book gives a better perspective on that particular topic than any book that I have read. It gives people permission to breathe easy when they say, “I am god or I am goddess” and truly understand what that means. We humans live far below our divine potential; it’s easy to see why we don’t view ourselves as God. Once we understand our creative power and how to correctly use energy, we will recognize our greatness—not in a proud manner, but in a way that makes us realize that we are responsible for our every thought, emotion, word, and deed. We will then know why Jesus spent so much time in prayer and spiritual purification practices such as fasting. While working under the veil of illusion in this 3-D world, he knew he had to stay connected to his Source of wisdom and strength—he had to keep open the lines of communication with Home. So do we!

So I ask you: What spiritual practices are you using to help you stay grounded in divine love? How are you staying connected to your higher source of wisdom? What do you need to do today to get in sync as God-Goddess?

We are pilgrims and strangers here on Earth; we are just passing through. This means that we came from somewhere other than this planet and will go elsewhere when we are done here. It pays to stay in touch with the folks back home. So, ET, phone home—regularly!
