Energy Update: Taking on the Energy of Other People

For years people have told me they pick up the energies of other people. I look at us as responsible for ourselves so that energies are “clinging onto us” has been a challenge to my understanding. However, I was begging the question around this and the answer revealed itself. As children we looked to our parents for cues on what is safe and what is not. There are many studies, which have taken a visual patterned surface and a baby and placed them on it. The child will glance to the parent for cues that it is safe to crawl across this varying visual surface. Based on the parent’s response the child will react and move or stay. This is how parents could play live chess! As we grow older we look for social cueing from our parents. Our parents didn’t always know and maybe had odd rules around this for themselves via their own insecurities. This is where dysfunction comes in. So, if we are unsure about our self? We look to others for social cueing and for how we “fit”. Thus, when we pick up others energies we are looking to others for our validation. (This differs in the place where there is a “Vampire Archetype” or a chronic complainer). Stop looking around and be with you. Many or all of you reading this are empathic and you may see this differently than how I’ve stated it here. I have to stress the tipping point is you are not a victim of the energy of others. You are leaving yourself open to this by trying to size up “what mama thinks of you.” We ultimately seek validation and love from a mother and father figure, something most of us didn’t receive. We can now allow ourselves to love our self fully and replace this need and experience with self-acceptance on all levels. Love you and you’ll be able to love everybody else too!

Energy Update "Inner Child Begone Spray"

What? Ok, so coming out of August and Sept we were dealing with our inner child. I define that simply as the part of us that knows we’re eternal and feels like it can do no wrong (not through arrogance but self love). If you are struggling, ask yourself, “Do I feel like I have the world by the tail?” If not, your inner child needs some excitement in the way of applying your spirit to living. Think of how children run around in an open space, one minute they are a horse, the next they are a pig, then an airplane. This type of flowing creativity is what the child thrives upon. Get it! Don’t know how? Ask, “What would it look like for adult me to have a fulfilled inner child?” Watch for signs. You might be at the grocery store and you think about bowling with canned goods. While you can’t actually act on this, entertain the idea of what it would feel and look like to do so. If you have children of your own, bring them in the mix. My son and I go shopping together and one incentive for him to come with me is that if we hear a young child make sounds we silently mimic what the child would look like while making these sounds. My son and I laugh so hard. It is harmless but very PLAYFUL! We might want our inner child to sit silently, obediently but how about encouraging the inner play in our self to allow both the adult and the child to merge and express? Lastly, to many of you I have said, “In 10 years the reader I’ll be.” I’ve recently felt another layer of reading open to me. I have identified my sweet spot in reading as working with relationships and career. I have found a new tool to look at what people’s true purpose in career is and it is proving amazing results for my clients. If you are struggling with your career, please consider working with me to gain clarity. I think the info has been revealed because it is time for people to step into these rolls. I’ve found for the clients with, which I’ve read around this topic, the guidance on how to get there is as clear as what they are to be doing! The universe has provided simple steps, which are highly attainable for each of these clients. Never underestimate the power of how you word a question! A simple wording change made all of the difference and taught me how to open this specific door more fully. And? It was inspiration from my inner child, from the play within me, which developed the question! A 30 minute reading would be plenty to get solid information about your career. Consider taking me up on the "Gift Certificate" discounted reading as a gift to yourself this holiday season! www.intuitivepathfinder.com

Energy Update "Hang in there People!"

Hang in there people! Experiencing some intensity? Sorry to say some of us just are. There is a cycle coming in (or extended for some) that looks like it will free up in April. I don’t mean to be a downer but this is to ease the hearts of those in the struggle. So if this is you, take a breath! We are being asked to release ourselves from still something, which sticks. The story arc here is about letting go, trusting, non-attachment and putting yourself first. We may have been working a long time toward things and wonder why they still don’t quite take. There is a greater reason for this, which I’ll share in a second. However, our efforts are good if its passion we follow. I know too well the hard work, the effort, the confusion, the bliss and again confusion. If you’ve read with me and dimensionality came up, I had no take on it. However, since then the information has come in and I define dimensionality as ideas beyond what we knew before. It is simply now we have a broader perspective beyond what we could work with in the past. Here’s the rub! This information was taken from the book The Intellegent Heart Transform your life with the laws of love and it states, ”The difficulty with the middle fourth dimensional energy (defined as our ability to understand what we do and think impacts what comes our way-more or less what we understand as the law of attraction) involves a lot of process and very little of it manifests into the 3rd dimensional world. We find ourselves forever working it out, processing it, getting in touch with it, praying about it. We do change our relationship to whatever it is, but that change does not always bring great changes in our lives. Breakthroughs bring us demonstrations but not substantial shifts in real time that are sustainable. This is not the fault of anything that is done at this level. This is the way the energy is structured at the middle fourth dimension. This energy does not easily penetrate the density of the 3rd dimension. Therefore, it takes a lot of work over time to bring the changes into manifestation and often we seem to go one step forward and two steps back. Please not the upper fourth dimension is a place from which it is quite simple to manifest things. In weaker moments, stopping the thinking and saying to your self, “Stay present”. We need to once and for all stop the running mind. One of my friends calls it the “twirling mind”. We may be feeling like we have one foot in a peaceful place among the chaos and one in the anxiety and heat of it. Rise up by allowing space for reflection and release. Remembering this life is a construct for learning and working to see the truth about who you are can satisfy when things get too serious for us in our heads. A quick run through of the coming energy. About the second week of January the energy will shift to what looks a bit like lack. Then we’ll get a reprieve in early February. Honor that shift but know that there is more that’s coming and embracing non-attachment while in this seeming whirlwind is going to serve you as the shift occurs. Later Feb will be a bit dry and March will be trying. However, things open up in April so stop and enjoy life when things are lean, be with YOU! Success is had when we behave like children! It’s like a big snowstorm you can go play in it or resist it.

Energy Update "Balancing Activity & Rest"

I must confess my writing time has been channeled into a project. I am amiss to come up with the fancy articles I was before! If you're new to my email list, go visit my blog to see past posts. If you're hungry for knowledge and like what I teach, you'll find good, free information there. I am seeing the universal patterns changing and becoming less obvious. So I reach to you dear readers. What do you want to know? Please email me with general questions about intuition, reading, universal energy and relational situations as a construct for better understanding (Pseudo scenarios). Please no personal questions you want read for you though. Lets keep it something for everyone! However, in saying that, I am happy to answer to scenarios where you can’t see the contrast in the situation, keeping the names changed, etc. This weekend past I was in Duluth and I stayed with some friends. One of them said, "Amy you should start a website called, ASK AMY." Well, it is not a website but here it is! That was quick (zero point manifestation, check that out!) Now down to business. If there is a theme its about finding the balance in activity and rest. Some odd weeks ago I wrote about it being a choice to meet a situation with stress or letting go and flowing with it. An example of this could be looking for your car keys. If you get stressed about where they are it may delay you more. If you start looking for them knowing you are going to find them you create way less stress for your body. How many times have you not found your keys? Likely, not too many times. The same idea works with the theme of activity and rest. Allow yourself to feel good about both the times you are getting activity and rest. It is a skill to let go of labels such as if I rest I am "Lazy", "I better keep going so I get it all done." Trusting and believing there is room for both rest and activity is a big piece in this puzzle! Tuning in to how you feel is another. Practice this and see time free up for some, I'm certain, much needed rest! On the other side if you are having trouble activating, you have fear. What do you want in life? What are you letting stop you? Fear and resistance go hand in hand. Honor your feelings but keep moving through the fear to go into the activation of what you really want in life! Small steps and challenging the Universe to show you, bring you information, support you. These are tools that are new to our tool belt but if you start using them, in time you'll feel like you've got the world by the tail!

Energy Update Empowering

Many of us are coming out of experiencing a deeply rooted, long-time fear. While it may not have been our biggest fear it was an old one. We fleshed out parts of it last month. If there were some drama filled experiences, which bubbled up last month they were to help you quickly shift in life. Remember your objective at this juncture is to nourish, nurture, accept and love yourself. Easier said than done? I get it! We are each to tune into our needs, our desires and act from there. This means if people are asking you to do something for them, tune in and see if it is yours to do. Don’t judge it! If you start saying to yourself, “Nobody else will help them do “X” I’d better help them, etc. that’s you judging it! You need to focus on feeling if it’s for you through your heart (discernment). You in fact are not the only one who can help. Saying you are the only one is you indeed being self focused in the wrong way. If it is for you to do, do it, be it and don’t be afraid of it. If it is not, have the courage to be honest and share how you can and cannot help. If you’ve helped this person or situation in the past and gotten burned, say no! That is how to keep a pure stream of love for oneself and others too!

Energy Update "From a Child's Eyes"

I believe and have taught my kids when a person is saying something mean about you TO YOU, what they are actually doing is projecting their own fears onto you. My daughter mentioned to her brother that she does not agree with my statement. A few weeks later I spoke to her about this. She entertained that she understands what I am saying through an example I shared. However, she still feels it is not ALWAYS the case. I took the always away with me because truth is not about always or never, truth is fulfilled on the premise things are ever changing. Later that evening I could see the difference in what I am saying and what my daughter could see. When somebody approaches us through a low emotional state: reactive, bullying, disagreeable, etc. They are projecting their shadow onto us. However, when somebody makes an observation, “Amy, you are speaking too negatively, lets change the topic.” This is what Jane could see as they are not projecting onto us but instead holding a boundary. So when you feel a social cue of somebody moving away from you to support their boundary, look at yourself too to see what energy they are naturally responding to within you. But if they are blaming you, “putting something on you (scape goating) “you were this or that”, remember it comes from them, its not yours but theirs. Listen to children they have ample points to make. I find when I meet my kids in what they have to offer, our relationship foundation is then based on mutual respect and that is a win/win for this altruistic heart!

Energy Update "Crossroad"

“Crossroads” Heck, sometimes life can just seem like it takes a form all its own. We may feel things are chaotic, out of control. For many of us this ends up with us experiencing anxiety or the attachment to outcome. Right now many of us feel this is a place to make change and create some new patterns through choices & decisions to create a catalyst in our lives, but how? The chaos rages inside. The duties, commitments and relationships we connect to have needs that want to be met. We are good to others but perhaps we don’t get the same in return or this is how it seems. Let all this go for a minute. Now free, how would you choose to feel inside? Feel that for a moment. Smile if this feeling pleases you, yes, make your co-workers jealous! This feeling? Keep that in your pocket all of the time, or in your heart. You can do it! This feeling is you constantly, at each turn choosing you over choosing to please. It opens you with no effort to manifestation because when we have no resistance in us? Things come easily. This is where we are supposed to stay, not through force and pretending it is so but intending it is so. The difference with intending is we are allowing. I believe choosing what we want at this juncture it is about choosing how we long term want to feel, then staying in the moment to achieve the long-term effect. We hear a lot about staying present. A big part of staying present is allowing ourselves to see the perfection in what we have, where we are and who we are now. See, if we were supposed to learn it all at once we would. A mantra I’ve carried for many years but find especially helpful now is “You can have it all, just not all at once.” We are incubating many of us, the ideas, attitudes of who we really are so we become it. This practice takes quiet and patience. It takes us (like my article several weeks ago) putting ourselves first and then seeing where, in truth, others fit into our lives. We then allow people around us to realign and that is a gift from us, not something mean we are doing to another. We are now consciously choosing to empower others in place of enabling them. This is our divine nature as I see it. When we believe in others enough for them to care for and love themselves we can let go and allow this to fully bloom in them, for them. The impact it has on us is also a win. So at this crossroads, find your footing in the moment.
