Today's Affirmation

 

"Today, I deepen my understand of EMPATHY."

 

EMPATH-a person who has a paranormal ability to apprehend the physical, mental, or emotional state of another individual.

 

EMPATHY-the ability to understand and share the thoughts, emotions, and physical state of another.

 

Thanks for returning today for Empath Markers 11-15.

 

11-Fatigue-You are inexplicably tired all the time.  You lack energy, and to get up off the sofa or get yourself moving is a major task.  This is caused by the absorption of too much energy from the outside world and its people.  Also, empaths are often easy targets for those who are referred to as "energy vampires."  These are people who easily drain you of your energy because of their neediness, negativity, or psychopathy.

 

12-Creativity and Artistry-You are highly creative and may enjoy activities like painting, drawing, dancing, sewing, quilting, gardening, crafting, cooking, writing, woodworking, building, crocheting, knitting, et al.  Empaths love to create and love the art brought to life through their creative talents.  Engaging in the creative and artistic is an outlet for many empaths.  These activities allow you to relax, find peace, disengage from the troubles of the outside world, and bring to life something of beauty in a sometimes not-so-beautiful world. 

 

13-Freedom, Adventure, and/or Travel-You treasure freedom and enjoy doing your own thing regardless of how others feel about it.  You may not like being tied down to a set of rules, a place, a person.  You may enjoy walking in the woods, window shopping, doing something risky like parachuting or mountain climbing or parasailing.  You may also like to travel to new places and see the beauty the world has to offer.  Additionally, traveling from your current home allows you the opportunity to let go (even if for a little while) the burden of your home, family, friends, job, responsibilities.  You probably more enjoy less populated places like the seaside or the mountains.

 

14-Champion-You champion the underdog, or as the saying goes, "bring home the strays."  You hate to see anyone suffer from any lack or from any illness-mental, physical, emotional, spiritual.  You will usually be drawn to these people or animals, and want to help.

 

15-Control-You may detest being controlled either by others, rules, routine.  You may rebel against any of these, either aggressively or passive aggressively.  You dislike being forced into anything, especially if runs contrary to your belief system.  Anything that removes or threatens your personal, emotional, physical, or spiritual freedom may become abhorrent to you.

 

So, there you are.  The first 15 of 30 EMPATH markers.  I will continue to post the other markers over the next couple of day, so come back for the next grouping of numbers 16-20.

 

In Love and Light-Always,

Robin

"Today, I will closely monitor myself for the markers of EMPATHY."

 

 

Welcome back!  As you may recall, yesterday's entry dealt with EMPATHY, and provided the 5 most common markers of being an EMPATH.  Today's entry provides you with 5 additional markers.  Remember, the more markers you experience, the more likely it is that you are an EMPATH.

 

6-Clutter & Chaos Disturbs-You detest clutter, and disorganization makes you feel helpless, overwhelmed, and frustrated.  You have a need for order and organization.  Purging non-used items makes you feel better.  It helps you to lighten the load.  You may also feel better when reorganizing the closets, the garage, the kitchen cabinets, the drawers.  Doing this give you control and makes you feel better.  You also may be drawn to boxes, bins, baskets:  these are places to store things and create greater organization.

 

7-Search for Answers-You are always searching for the "why" of things.  Not having answers, even to simple questions, is frustrating.  You have a desire to know/understand "why" people do what they do, or "how" someone could do such a thing, or "what" has motivated someone to act in such a manner.  Having answers gives you a sense of safety and control.  You  may not agree with the answers, but you would rather have the answer than not have the answer.

 

8-Weight Gain-Inexplicably, you have put on some pounds, few or many.  This is either confusing, frustrating, or both.  You are not necessarily overeating, but the weight seems attracted to you.  You may have said things like "I just look at cake and put on five pounds."  This weight gain is the body's way of insulating you from the harsh outside world.  The extra weight also helps to ground you, keep you stable, and protect you.  The weight is like armor.  It stops the negativity of others from having full impact on you.

 

9-Dreaming and Daydreaming-You often escape into the world of dreams through sleep or daydreaming as a way of leaving behind the harsh realities of your situation.  This makes you feel better.  You may also have an imaginary "safe house"-a place in your imagination where you go when things become overwhelming.  (Mine is a big yellow house or a deserted beach on a sunny day).  Napping/sleeping may be attractive to you because it allows you time to escape into non-reality instead of dealing with reality.

 

10-Lack of Enjoyment=Lack of Motivation-You have a difficult time doing tasks that you hate, and you lack the motivation to get the task done.  The tasks you hate are those that you feel overwhelmed by.  You also may hate to participate and find little enjoyment in activities that make you feel like a hypocrite.  These activities run contrary to your belief system and being forced into participating, brings you anger and feelings of helplessness.  Additionally, because you dislike certain tasks or activities, others may label you antisocial, lazy, stubborn, idle.

 

Come back tomorrow for Empath Markers 11-15.

 

In Love and Light-Always,

Robin

Today's Affirmation

 

"Today, I will wrap myself in a bubble of protection to avoid absorbing the feelings of others."

 

 

Some of you might be struggling with an overwhelming bombardment of feelings and thoughts whenever you are among a group of people:  at gatherings, in the supermarket, at special events, et al.

Perhaps these experiences are painful for you, and as a result, you avoid them whenever you can.

 

You may also be experiencing digestive issue, sensitivity to television programming (especially if it is violent or overly emotional), you may avoid the nightly news because of this;  you may also experience bouts of fatigue, need solitude frequently to recharge, carry extra weight without overeating, and my experience moodiness with can include a sense of disconnectedness.

 

Have you considered that you might be an EMPATH?  An EMPATH is a person that is extremely oversensitive to the emotions of others, and as a result, actually absorbs the feelings of others.  This is very different that being sympathetic in that a sympathetic person may feel badly about a situation, but an EMPATH actually feels the exact feelings that others are experiencing.

 

As for myself, I can do a decent job of shutting out others' feelings, but when it comes to my children, my daughter, in particular, I seem to always absorb whatever she is feeling.  When I experience unexplained feelings or physical symptoms, and I cannot account for them in my own current experience, I always have to check with her and see where she is emotionally.  Most of the time, it is her feelings that I am feeling.

 

There are 30 markers that are common among EMPATHS.  The more of them one experiences, the greater the chances that one is an EMPATH.

 

The next several entries will address these markers 5 at a time.  Read them carefully.  They could apply to you.  Perhaps not all apply, but if have at least ten (10), then the chances are pretty good this could be you and be an answer to why you feel the way you do.

 

EMPATH MARKERS 1-5 (starting with the most common)

 

1-A Sense of Knowingness-You just know things.  You don't know how you know, but you just know.  It is greater than intuition.  It is as if you had always known what you know.  The more attuned a person is, the stronger the gift of knowingness gets.

 

2-Feeling Feelings-You experience unexplained feelings.  These feelings are hard to pinpoint because what you may be experiencing in your own life doesn't really have anything to do with the feelings you are experiencing.  These feelings belong to others and you have, like a sponge, absorbed them.

 

3-Feeling Illness-You experience physical symptoms of illness when there is no logical reason for feeling this way.  Most empaths unconsciously desire to help others and relieve their pain, so the empathy takes on the illness so that the other does not have to suffer it.  This is particularly true with people whom we love.   (This happens to me a lot with those close to me, especially (in the past-my mother) my children.

 

4-Need for Alone Time-You may feel a frequent need to withdraw from others to rest, to sit, to be quiet, to nap, to not talk to anyone.  Being an empathy is draining, especially if you are dealing with large groups of people at one time like in your job.  After times of great interaction, an empathy needs time to recharge physical and emotional batteries, and so this is why you may need to seek some solitude.  You are not antisocial, you are exhausted!

 

5-Avoiding Crowds-You may generally shy away from large groups like parties, celebrations, concerts, graduations, holiday shopping, the gym, anywhere where there will be pressing humanity.  This is because you are a large radio antennae and pick up "signals" from everybody.  These "signals" may cause you to feel claustrophobic and anxious.  As a result, you avoid the whole situation.  You may also feel deep guilt at declining an invitation because you just can't stand the thought of a crowd.

 

Check back tomorrow for the next five markers.

 

In Love and Light-Always,

Robin

 



Today's Affirmation

 

"Today, I will ask for healing of my internal handicaps."

A message from the Archangels of Healing

"It is easy to see those who are physically handicapped.  They are blind or deaf or have an amputated limb, and when we see this, our hearts are filled with sympathy and compassion for them.  But what about the handicaps we cannot see?  Are these outwardly invisible handicaps any less tragic?  No, they are more so.

Those with external handicaps can relearn to live life and live a productive and happy life if they choose.  But the emotional paralysis or the emotional blindness or emotional deafness or the emotional amputation is the real handicap.

You may not suffer from the external.  You may walk and talk and see and hear, but what about the inside of you?  Have you considered that?

A handicap is anything which prevents you from approaching life in true and healthy form.  But consider this:  There are far fewer physically handicapped persons on your planet than there are emotionally and spiritually handicapped ones.

If you say the word, if you say, "Help me," We will rush into y our life and bring mighty healing. 

The time right in the planetary alignment for healing to be accelerated .  Now would be the time to work toward your healing process.  The power of healing energy is magnified muchfold and great progress can be made.

Ask for Universal help in this way:  "I ask that Universe open my heart and mind and eyes to those handicaps that need healing.  I open my heart and mind and eyes to this healing power and accept this healing power in my life.  I ask this in the name of all that good and true and pure in the Universe, for my highest good and the highest good of others."

If you ask, Universe will provide.  Remember, the time is ripe for the radiation and amplification of healing energy.  Take part this Universal process at this most auspicious time.

Amen."

In Love and Light-Always,
Robin

"Today, I call upon the Universe and the Archangels of Healing to support my healing process."

Message from the realm of the Archangels:

Prepare yourself for the healing process.  Universe supports your healing.

Those of us in the Angelic realm are here to guide you with  your healing process.  It is right and just that you should heal.  In this way, you may live a life of hope and peace and harmony.

It is not timely that you should live out your life in anguish and then carry that anguish into the next lifetime, for in the next lifetime, you will have to confront it again.

Universe's  lesson for you in this lifetime is letting go.  Imagine a balloon filled to its maximum, filled to bursting with air.  Now apply this to yourself.  You are the balloon filled to maximum with anger and self pity and hatred and resentment.  How long will you exist in this condition before you finally explode?

Is this your goal?  Is this what you are working toward in order to "pay back" those who have hurt you?  Are you trying to teach them a lesson?

No, dear people.  This is not a lesson.  This is foolishness.  The real lesson is that you begin to deflate the balloon a little at a time until all of the pressure is gone, all of the negativity that you have internalized for so long is gone.

Reach out to the Universe and to the Archangels of Healing  for this mission of letting go.

It has never been Universe's intention that you live with fear and pain.  It is Universe's gift that you live with peace and joy.

The greatest gift that Universe has provided for man is free will.  The will to let go and move forward with his spiritual quest.  And part of that quest is to confront and conquer the pain within and cultivate self love.

Universe want you to  know that YOU are NOT responsible in any way for the pain inflicted upon you.  This is strictly the responsibility of the one who has hurt you, and this one will be held accountable and will have to face his own karma, but do not rob yourself because someone has robbed you.

Survive and live a true life. 

Universe and its angels are waiting.  We are at your disposal to assist you and support  you in this quest for wholeness.

Choose wholeness, for living whole is far more rewarding than living fractured.

Be blessed now and always.  Pick up the pieces of yourself and life and begin to live as you were meant:  with JOY.

Take up the challenge and LIVE, dear ones.  We love you now and always for our love is unlimited.

In Love and Light-Always,
Robin

Today's Affirmation

 

"Today, I choose healing."

 

Sometimes we cling to our pain for so long that it becomes like an old friend.  We talk to it and nurture it and harbor it deep inside.  It becomes part of us, and we are reluctant to let it go.

 

But, for how long will you carry the burden of misery?  Isn't it time to finally, once and for all, make peace with yourself and find some serenity and joy?

 

The damage that others cause us is not irreparable.  Yes, we are damaged, but there comes a time when we must move past it, forcibly put it behind us, and HEAL.

 

The primary and poignant question is:  Do you really want to heal?  or do you want to continue a downward spiral into oblivion?  Choose HEALING.  Please choose healing.

 

Others may have been responsible for your pain, but only YOU are responsible for your HEALING.

 

If you say, "I can't let go, I've been hurt too badly," then you have already made the decision to go on ad infinitum as a victim.  Your aggressor has won, has a tenable hold on you forever.  Is this what you want, to be a lifetime victim?  If so, have at it! 

 

But if you decide that a person or experience will no longer keep you in a strangle hold, then begin to extricate yourself from the those feelings.

 

It is not easy to heal, but the rewards of healing far outweigh the constant pain.  Yes, you will have to confront that pain to let it go.  Yes, it can hurt, but then you can release it. 

 

Yes, you may have to take a deep look inside yourself and confront your own issues.  Sometimes we have to break ourselves down to rebuild ourselves.  WE ARE ALL WORTH REBUILDING!

 

Dear friends, I am concerned for you.  I want so badly that you live a life of freedom from those issues and people who have hurt you.  But you have got to do it! I cannot do it for you.  Seek professional assistance if you must.

 

It is ok to be afraid, but courage is recognizing the fear and moving on nonetheless.  Let this day's blog help you to move on with your life.  I support you.  Universe supports you.  Turn to Universe for courage to move through your issues and once and for all, HEAL.

 

In Love and Light-Always,

Robin

 

 

 

 



Today's Affirmation

"Today, I will make a commitment to begin letting go of my negative feelings and cultivate peace."

 

All we are looking for is a little peace.  Peace resides within us, but we will never achieve it if we don't give up those things that interfere with peace.

 

Anger and resentment and hatred are mighty emotions, and as long as we hold onto those so vehemently, we can never achieve any sense of peace.

 

It takes so much time and a tremendous amount of energy to hold on so tightly so many negative feelings.  For some reason, we just can't or won't give them up.  But if we do not begin to let go of these, then these will ultimately manifest into our physical selves and .  These negative emotions are like a cancer.  They grow and grow and grow and before we realize that we have done this to ourselves, we are so toxic that the road back to health is long and difficult.

 

Heal yourself.  Do you really want to go on for the rest of your life clutching blame and anger?  Do you want to continue to wrap anger and resentment around you like a blanket in which you will suffocate?

 

When then, to do hold so tightly to it.  Does your anger and hatred comfort you?  Does it make you feel righteous?  perhaps you are not seeking the right kind of comfort and righteousness.  Just think about it.

 

No one can improve your life except you.  If you want to finally achieve happiness, then begin letting go of those things that prevent it. 

 

In Love and Light-Always,

Robin

Today's Affirmation

 

"Today, I will break my day into small manageable bits so that I do not become overwhelmed."

 



Some days it is just hard to get ourselves moving.  These are the day that we need to stop focusing on the entirety of the day and just focus on one small task at a time.  For example, focus on just getting out of bed and doing your normal hygiene routine.  Then move to the next activity like getting into the shower or making the coffee or putting on your clothes or your make up or shaving.

Breaking down your day helps to keep you from getting overwhelmed.  It creates small doable tasks instead of one gigantic day.  If you can do this, break your day into manageable bits, you may find it less difficult to move through your day without freaking out or giving up.

Once your required activities are done, like getting home from your job or finishing dinner or bathing the kids, sit for a few minutes and look back and see all of the things that you did that you did not think your could accomplish.

It will give you a sense of accomplishment and relief that the day was done. Don't forget to reward yourself with something meaningful like going to bed early or reading a chapter from one of your favorite books or playing a game on your computer.

We all have days like this, I am having one myself today, and so this blog is a reminder to myself what I need to do for myself to make my day manageable. 

Don't despair, just do one thing at a time, deep your focus on doing the task at hand, and move through it.  The day will progress, I promise, and soon it will come to a close.

In Love and Light-Always,
Robin

Today's Affirmation

 

"Today, I will choose one thing that I have been putting off and get it done."

 

So, what have you been putting off?  What areas of your life are you not taking care of?  Pretending that a situation does not exist does not make it go away, so why are you turning your back on it and putting off dealing with it?

 

I know, I really do.  You feel overwhelmed by it.  You don't know what to do.  You don't know where to start.  You feel frustrated and anxious.

 

But ignoring the necessity of taking care of business is only prolonging that feeling of being overwhelmed, only elongating the anxiety and frustration.

 

Start NOT looking at the big picture and projecting every scenario over and over again.  Choose one, only one, aspect of the situation, and deal with that.  In doing so, you oil the wheel, so to speak, and what was stuck begins to move.  Once the wheel starts to turn, then it forces into motion all other parts of the machinery.

 

Begin with something small like making the phone call or the appointment or whatever else takes little time and energy.  Do it and let it be done.  Then continue the process.

 

You may notice that the one small step you make is just enough to bring about a whole new set of options, some which you may not have even thought of.  And these options may reduce the anxiety you feel and increase your confidence and your desire to continue the process.

 

Many times, once we get going and see progress, it encourages us to continue, and with each step of the process, what we had been putting off, runs its course and finally comes to an end.

 

So, friends, pick something, and start the process in motion.

 

In Love and Light-Always,

Robin

 



Today's Affirmation

 

"Today I will embrace HOPE, and trust my Higher Power to provide what I need."



In both the novel and the film The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien, there is a scene in which a very meager Rohan army is completely surrounded by a vast army of its enemies, and it seems impossible that the Rohirrem will survive.  One of the characters says, "They say we will die.  They say there is not hope."  Aragorn, the main character then replies, "There is always hope."  Hope does manifests in additional troops, and ultimately, the enemy is vanquished and the Rohirrem carry to day to victory.

 

 

 

There is always HOPE.  The day may seem long, our enemies many, and the situation desperate, but HOPE is always there. 

 

It is HOPE that has sustained us many times.  Think about how many times you felt alone, desperate, and frustrated, and how all of you wanted to give in, give up,  but you didn't.  You held on to that small flicker of belief that everything was going to be o.k.  This is HOPE.

 

HOPE is the small flickering light that remains eternally lit within our heats and minds and spirits.  It is a gift that has been given to us from Universe.  It is a reminder to us that there is no situation that cannot be overcome.  So, dear friends, never, ever lose HOPE. 

 

Embrace HOPE even in the darkest hour.  Know that Universe would not have brought you to this place if it did not intend to intervene.  The Universal intervention may not be what we want, but it will be what Universe deems and what Universe knows we needs. 

 

So, TRUST the Universe and embrace HOPE, always.

 

In Love and Light-Always,

Robin

 

 

Today's Affirmation

 

"Today, I will answer the call and walk the Path of Light."

 

The Angels of the Brotherhood have an important message that they would like me to share with you this morning:

Dear Brothers and Sisters of the World:

We know that you are concerned about all of the evil that exists in your world.  But fear not, evil shall not come to you.  Stay aligned with Spirit, and you will always be safe. 

Reignite your Spiritual Self by reaching out to the All the Power That Is in the Universe.

Your Higher Power loves you and protects you from all great harm.

And even though evil exists, it shall not overpower you.  In the end, and there is no end, Goodness always triumphs over Evil.

More and more individuals are being called to walk the Path of Light.  These new Lightworkers will need instruction and support, so those of you with talents and expertise in the Light Path, shall provide for these newcomers, all that they need to understand the dynamics of the Spirit Path.

This is a time of great change, of great shift in the Universe.  Those who have lived many lives are choosing to return to spirit form at the end of t his lifetime.  Many, who have not incarnated before, are choosing to incarnate, meaning that they are taking on human form for the first time.  These are wise and talented souls but with little experience with being in the human body.

Empaths, Healers, Seers, Readers, Mediums and all Light Workers are among you.  Come together to create healing groups and do the work together.  In this way the energy expands and much more can be done on the planet.

Never despair.  The Universal Light surrounds you and protects you.  Walk the Walk  and do not be afraid to Talk the Talk.

Those who are called will answer.  You yourself are called.  Shall you answer?  Do.

Take up the journey in the name of the Universal Light that never fails.

In the name of All That Is.    Go forth and bring the Light to others.  Be well.  We love you tremendously.  Go now and walk your walk and talk your talk.  Be a magnet for Light.  Amen.

This is the message from the Brotherhood.  It is my pleasure to bring it to you today.

In Light and Love-Always,
Robin
