THE PATH TO PEACE   Although your life may be in turmoil, you have within you the ability to stay calm and peaceful every moment of your life. Like any attitude or emotion, you are fully in charge. Can anyone else make you happy? No, you may feel happy, but that is your choice. It is this way for all emotions. In your daily life, your attitude of gratitude will open doors to realms of deep personal peace that you have possibly never experienced before. If you often get upset over small details or things that others say or do, it is likely you would benefit by taking more quiet time to remain balanced.

With practice, you have the ability to master your emotions to the point where nothing can upset you. You will understand that each person is walking their Path and responsible for their actions. You will be in a place of unconditional love, knowing you are responsible only for the things you say and do. Within you lies the ability to overcome any obstacle, whether it is a physical ailment, difficult relationship or challenging event. You have the ability to choose what you wish to experience. With your conscious intention and focus on changing speech patterns, negative thinking and reactionary behaviors, you will mold your life into magic, experiencing peace beyond understanding.

When it comes to how to work with your energy for self healing and spiritual growth, there are a lot of different modalities out there. It seems as though, as you evolve in your awareness and ability to work at a vibrational level, the conversation about energy work becomes more and more involved.

Start talking with someone who does energy healing work, and you may find yourself getting into some pretty “out there” stuff. Don’t get me wrong, I can talk crystalline structures, grids and multidimensional awareness with the best of them. Yet, when it really comes down to healing and working with energy, it’s all about simple, grounded tools and practices.

Even though you may find yourself these days in a new energetic paradigm, which requires a whole new road-map to best understand the more complex energies you’re working with, the approach is still actually quite simple. If you make it too complex, you may miss out on what really needs to shift.

Rosemary is known as an amazing herb that has many purposes. Traditional medicine has been using its leaves for centuries. Students in ancient Greece would often put rosemary sprigs in their hair when studying for exams, because they believed it improved their memory.

There’s a reference to rosemary in Shakespeare’s Hamlet, when Ophelia declares: ‘There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance: pray, love, remember.’

Research has found rosemary to contain carnosic acid, which fights off free radical damage to the brain. The natural acids in rosemary aid in protecting the body`s cells and DNA from free radical damage.

The compounds in rosemary are known to prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine, a chemical that induces the brain cells that are responsible for communication and memory.

Several tests were done with rosemary essential oil, and they found that the oil increased the chances of remembering future tasks by 60 – 75%, when compared to people who weren’t exposed to the oil.

Being able to pick up on others energy and feel what they are feeling is a wonderful gift to have.  It can also be one of the most burdensome curses.  If not managed properly, empathetic abilities can cause you extreme emotional, spiritual, and psychological distress.

Have you ever been around someone and had your energy completely drained from how negative they are? Or have you ever been around someone who is in a state of depression, and then you get caught up in feeling that same depression as well?  Being an empath is a gift, but it requires that we have a special skillset to prevent ourselves from losing our energy and our sanity.

Here are 3 essential coping tips for people with empathetic abilities:

1) Guard your thoughts

Here is a very common experience empaths go through.  Let’s say you are sitting down with a friend, and another person walks into the room and you start picking up on what they are feeling.  When you start picking up on what they are feeling, pay attention to the thoughts that arise in your mind when this happens.  They may be thoughts like:

It is important to remember that everyone ‘awakens’ at their own pace. Don’t rush yourself or others, there is plenty of time. ~ Creator

You’re at a party and you have a drink in your hand. You’re well dressed, the lights are dim, and music is lightly playing in the background. Your friend walks up to you, gives you a hug, and asks how you are doing. You catch up. A couple of minutes later one of their friends walks by and the two of them hug it out. Then you hear, “Hey, meet my friend so-and-so.” It’s not long before you ask or are asked the question: “So what do you do?”

It’s the classic interaction that probably all of us have gone through.

A) “I’m in finance. I help clients determine when to invest and so forth.”

B) “Ahh that’s cool.”

A) “Ya it’s alright, pays the bills”

B) “True, true.”

While this interaction tells you a little something about a person, it misses out on one of the most important things associated with the question. Why do people do what they do?
