Today's Affirmation

"I will cultivate my talents and capabilities for the highest good of all concerned, in accordance with Divine knowledge, wisdom, and law."

Some people think that seeing the future or being able to "read people's minds" (no such thing.  there is only reading people's energy) is so very cool, but there is a huge responsibility that comes with having capabilities to read energy and see the implications of people's choices or see the outcome of events already set in motion. 

There are definite positives in the whole business, like giving people the information they need to move forward with their lives or make better informed choices or take better precautions or confirm the path that a person is traveling. 

There are some negatives as well; reading something hurtful in someone's energy or seeing a negative consequence or painful event, or knowing that someone's burden will get heavier can be difficult.

But when one works with energy, one must be able to take the positive with the negative; one must be able to create a balance between what one sees and how one transmits that information.

I cannot stress enough that no matter what, one must always "read" for another person's HIGHEST GOOD and the highest good of all concerned in the situation.  I cannot stress enough how vital it is to diplomatically and gently transmit the information or reinforce the positive in all information.

For myself, I made my commitment to Universe and to having capabilities to read energy with some personal guidelines:   (1) I would work from a strong spiritual base-for their highest good and highest good of all concerned, (2) I would only provide information that would help a person move forward on his/her physical/emotional/mental/spiritual path, (3)  I would always try to give the best guidance that I could,  (4) I would never violate someone's personal privacy and would wait to be invited/asked to provide information for them, (5) I would work with the person's spirit guides, loved ones who have passes over,  and any other angelic/celestial assistance who can assist the person in his higher path, (6)  I would always work from a place of love and light and respect for a person, (7) I would never use the capabilities with which I am blessed for any hurtful or negative purpose, (8)  I would never seek out information that Universe did not want me to have, (9)  I would always be humble and not sensationalize my talents and capabilities.

So, my dear friends,  if you have a capability to "see" things, yes, please, cultivate your capabilities, but cultivate them for the best possible reason and the best possible outcome.  Be mindful of the responsibilities that you have.  Be clear with yourself about why you are cultivating your talents and for what purpose you will use them.

In Love and Light,

Today's Affirmation

 

"Today I will emotionally detach from those people and events that cause me distress."

 

When we are faced with or experiencing circumstances that cause us a tremendous amount of stress or turbulent emotions, and we can't manage the situation any other way, it may be time to just DETACH from it.

 

Emotionally detaching puts distance between us and the situation.  It's a coping mechanism that helps us to protect ourselves from emotional duress. 

 

When we detach, it's like moving back a few steps to get out of the energy field of the situation.  It allows us a  more objective perspective, and thus, it makes it a little easier to see the situation for what it is and to remain unaffected by it.

 

It is not always so easy to do this;  it requires a strong focus and lots of talking to ourselves.

What I do is simply repeat over and over again to myself, "Detach.  Detach.  Detach.  Detach.  Detach."  And then I visualize myself moving back, stepping back our of range of emotional entanglement.

 

So, if you are feeling caught up in the riled up emotion of the situation, then just breathe and detach.  Keep at it and don't give up; before you know it, you will master your emotion and be able to clearly see and manage the situation-without being tied up in knots.

 

In Love and Light,

Today's Affirmation

 

"Today I will carefully monitor my words to others and bite back hurtful words."

 

There are those days when people just piss us off and we want to strike back with our words and hurt them.  Sometimes we let ourselves go; we lose control over ourselves and our mouths and the words just come spewing out and drench anyone in their path.  (Been there, done that.)

 

But we need to remind ourselves that this brings no ultimate satisfaction or positive results.  Instead, when this does happen to us, after it is over, we feel horrible, ashamed, guilty. 

 

What is the best way to handle the situation?  Breathe and let it go.  Harder than we think to do sometimes.  For myself, I need to ask my Higher Power to take it away and make something good out it.  The negative can always be turned into something positive as long as we have a willingness to create it and let it happen.

 

Also, do a self check.  If this has happened, what needs within yourself are not being met?  What is at the root of the frustration?  Just recognizing the root can help us to come to terms with it.

 

So for today, monitor your words.  Think carefully before you speak-gauge your words for clarity, accuracy, self advocacy, and diplomacy.

 

In Love and Light,

Robin
