Truth bomb

You can probably find an empath coach or reiki practitioner for less than I charge. That’s just real talk.

But if it matters to you that I offer 1:1 intro sessions, group reiki sessions, and group empath coaching sessions sprinkled with meditation and law of attraction, I’m your gal. Our Empath Collective is an amazing group!

I take pride in watching my clients transform by taking baby steps on their goals and thrive as empaths. I believe that empaths don't need to stop being empaths or push down their gifts to fit into the world. If that’s the kind of thing that makes you feel good, I’ll cheers to that!

I'd love to have you be a part of our group! Send me an email at [email protected] with any questions or just click here to join. 

Did you know that tears are healing?

They're the body’s natural release valve for stress, grief, frustration, anxiety, and sadness.

If you're an empath, you might have been told you're "too emotional'. Not to worry. You're just naturally healing. Your body knows exactly what to do.

Tears help protect our eyes by removing irritants, reducing stress hormones, and tears contain antibodies that naturally protect our eyes.

They allow your eyes to clear out irritants, protect our eyes from infection, and are a part of the body’s department of defense.

After crying, our breathing and heart rate decrease, and we enter into a calmer biological and emotional state.

Emotional tears contain stress hormones. They shed hormones and toxins that build up during stress. Crying also stimulates the production of endorphins, our body’s natural pain killer and “feel-good” hormones.

Crying is also essential to resolve grief when waves of tears periodically come over us...

A few weeks ago our Empath Support Community had some fun with Empath Self-Care Bingo. We tried about 20+ different self-care activities with the idea that at least one activity would resonate with us.

Have you ever wondered how many types of meditation are out there?

I've practiced meditation with mala beads, mantra meditation, silent meditation, chanting, and the list goes on.

 I've rediscovered one of my favorite meditations. Walking Meditation. 

Just like any type of meditation, walking meditation can be incredibly rewarding. When you practice walking meditation, you're connecting with your body and the earth at the same time.

Here are a couple of key points and ideas for your walking meditation...
You can count how many steps are you taking with each breath.
Walk and breathe in such a way that you can connect with your body deeply.
Connecting with your breath, the planet, keeping it as simple as possible.
Remember - this isn't a power walk. You're not trying to get from “point A to point B” type of activity.
Walking meditation shouldn't be work. It's nice and pleasant, especially in the early morning when the air is still very fresh.
Take notice of your...

Looking for a great way to shield yourself in intense energy situations? Even Energy Vampires? 

Have you heard of a shielding visualization? 

Shielding is a quick way to protect yourself. Many empaths and sensitive people rely on it to block out toxic energy while allowing the free flow of positivity. 

Use this technique on a regular basis. The minute you’re uncomfortable with a person, place, or situation, put up your shield. Use it in traffic, at work, a crowded restaurant, at a party if you’re talking to an energy vampire, or in a packed doctor’s waiting room. 

This technique is useful in any situation.

1. Begin by taking a few, deep, long breaths.
2. Visualize a beautiful shield of white or pink light completely surrounding your body and extending a few inches (or feet) beyond it. This shield protects you from anything negative, stressful, toxic, or intrusive. 
3. Within the protection of this shield, feel centered, happy, and...

THE DAILY PAGES writing exercise has been instrumental in helping me see the good throughout each day. 

The activity of writing is a big part of becoming an empowered empath. 

In the morning: 

• List 3 things I'm grateful for (find different things each day). After doing this for quite a while, you'll start noticing you're grateful for the smallest things and situations in life.
• List 3 things that would make today great. Again, this is a lot of fun when you can change it up daily.
• 3 positive affirmations to use throughout the day. Something different.

In the evening:

• List 3 amazing things that happened today. Even if you had the worst day, you can find 3 things.

Using mala beads as a part of your daily meditation is a lovely compliment to your practice.

Meditating with mala beads is a great way to anchor yourself in the present moment. 

I usually have them somewhere on my body - as a bracelet, necklace, sometimes I wear ALL of my mala beads. I use these as reminders that I can always stop and take a deep breath, and find the stillness and silence that rests within. 

Rolling the beads through your fingers is a physical way to direct your energy and attention. It’s a gentle reminder every few seconds to reground and refocus.
.
How do I use them for meditation? I use the beads as a replacement for an electronic timer. Depending on the mantra I'm using, it generally takes around 13-18 minutes to go through one round of mala beads. I often only use the breath while meditating and move to the next bead on each exhale. 

The only thing I need to concentrate on is my breath. My mind is anchored on the breath or the mantra.

Empaths experience our share of fatigue.

Fatigue is the first sign of overwhelm and overwhelm leads to exhaustion, anxiety, depression, adrenal fatigue, and sensory overload. 

But, we keep on working. We all have todo lists, priorities, projects, and commitments. We keep working, thinking that we can dig ourselves out of this chaos by more work. 

Why do we do this? 

Society says, “tough it out”. Society rewards this behavior. 

We celebrate overachievers who ignore their body signals. 

This is incredibly harmful to HSP and Empaths. 

We need ample downtime, quiet, and rest to thrive. 

CONSIDER THIS: 

Fatigue is your voice of wisdom. It’s your body and your energy level telling you something. This is called listening to your body! 

Take one compassionate action (baby step) for yourself. 

• Electronics OFF for 15 minutes 
• Meditate - this will help you get quality sleep
• This...
