HJ: Being highly empathic is an amazing gift, but it also requires you to be able to discern what is yours and what is someone else’s.  Otherwise you end up taking on other people’s energy and baggage and that does not ultimately serve you.  When you can keep your own awareness and energy clear, you will be able to live a much more peaceful, happy, centered and joyful life.  Learn how in this article.

How to Overcome Emotional Overload When You’re Highly Empathetic

By Rena Greenberg | Tiny Buddha | Easy Willpower

“When someone throws you a stone, throw back a flower.” ~Gandhi

“Ouch,” I cried out instinctively as my husband, Barry, and I walked through the beach parking lot, barefoot. It was only when Barry turned to me and asked me why I yelled out that I realized it was him who stubbed his toe, and not me.

A reminder; never be afraid to be amazing!  Even the small moments that you think are nothing are something to someone.  Reach out, expand your awareness, be in love with your Earth plane existence and, most importantly, love and treat others with dignity and respect.  What may appear to be the most ‘lowly’ person could be a master in disguise. ~ Creator

The Awakening

A time comes in your life when you finally get it. When, in the midst of all your fears and insanity, you stop dead in your tracks and somewhere the voice inside your head cries out… ENOUGH! Enough fighting and crying and blaming and struggling to hold on. Then, like a child quieting down after a tantrum, you blink back your tears and begin to look at the world through new eyes.

This is your awakening.

You realize it’s time to stop hoping and waiting for something to change, or for happiness, safety and security to magically appear over the next horizon.

You realize that in the real world there aren’t always fairy tale endings, and that any guarantee of “happily ever after” must begin with you… and in the process a sense of serenity is born of acceptance.

You awaken to the fact that you are not perfect and that not everyone will always love, appreciate or approve of who or what you are… and that’s OK. They are entitled to their own views and opinions.

The health benefits of aromatherapy can no longer be considered placebo in nature. Accumulating evidence now shows that the fragrance of flowers and other volatile plant compounds pack a punch as powerful as certain drugs.

In a day and age like ours, bouts of stress and anxiety are expected to occur at least occasionally during the course of daily life. In fact, if the experience is completely alien to you, you may not be paying attention to what’s going on in the world around us — or, you may be enlightened, and should be congratulated.

Certainly, anti-anxiety drugs can be effective, but they are also addictive and dangerous, with withdrawal symptoms that include seizures and, paradoxically, extreme anxiety. Because of this fact, natural alternatives are needed now more than ever

“Pain is inevitable, Suffering is optional.” ~ Haruki Murakami

OK, I know. Functioning on a low vibration is just so much easier. Why take on more, your soul in perfection, your supposed destiny when you can sit back and coast? Being inert, static… no stagnant is just so satisfyingly anti-life. It’s a rejection of life and the gift you have been given. Better settle for that. It should be enough.

Except it really isn’t. Inside every single last one of us there is a nugget of divine rock getting sharpened and shined up and waiting for the right moment to release itself in all its diamond-like glorious-ness. You’ve known all along this day would come. So why is it that still you wait?

It’s incredibly frightening, not knowing that we might fail and might be useless and meaningless after all, but that we hold such power and force of emotion in the first place! How terrifying to have known all your life that you were made for great things and will one day (because let’s face it, IS inevitable) burst forth, ripe from your cocoon and become divinity in human form.

Corncob bits instead of chemicals for weed control? Sounds like an interesting, if not slightly odd possibility, doesn’t it?

U.S. Department of Agriculture research agronomist Frank Forcella has been using an air compressor to spray gritty material like corncob bits on both sides of a crop to kill young weeds without harming corn or soybeans. His method utilizing the new technology is gaining attention from organic farmers who don’t use chemicals to control weeds in their fields.

“It obliterates the weed, especially if it’s a small broad-leaved weed like Lamb’s quarters or pigweed that’s one to 3 inches high,” Forcella said. “The corn plants growing next to them are taller and thicker and can withstand the grit blast, but the weeds just disappear.”

Freedom is expansion and flow, and your ability to express yourself exactly as you wish. As you are on the planet to experience and grow, it is an essential element to the human being. We find it interesting that people will fight to have their freedom, and yet keep themselves constrained in so many other ways – through fear, doubt, separation, and all the other excuses they invent to prevent themselves from experiencing their highest expression of self.

Embrace your freedom, Dear Ones – the freedom to be who you really are, to honour your passions and purpose, and to share with the world your unique expression of self. Love and encourage yourselves enough to take the gift of the freedom you have to step into your truth and magnificence. ~Archangel Gabriel
