Twelve years ago, my life looked very different than it does now. My young son was struggling, and my own health was declining severely. I was determined to use a natural approach, but nothing we tried was honoring of our high sensitivity, or effective enough for us to be able to thrive. I researched intensely, while at the same time developing my intuitive skills, as I moved through the decade it took for me to awaken, heal, and step onto my path as my true self.
My own journey was long and difficult, but I know now that there are more efficient and smoother routes. Here are some insightful gems to empower you upon your own journey of awakening:
Be Willing to be Present.
All that you do will be more effective if you do it from a state of presence. Show up in your full, unique light and shine!
Your Beliefs Create Your Reality.
Make sure that your beliefs are positive, empowering, and of your own choosing. Let go of the limiting ones that you have been indoctrinated with throughout your lifetime. Replace them with fresh, new ones that align with who you really are and the life you want to experience living!
Be Brave When it Comes to New Things.
Try things that may seem out of your comfort zone. Once you commit to changing your life for the better and shift your beliefs to make the space to do so, the doors will open for you to new experiences and opportunities. If you do not walk through them, you will feel the resistance more painfully and uncomfortably.
Let Go of Labels.
What you or your child are experiencing may fit into the parameters of what doctors label as medical conditions, but this can be limiting in finding real solutions. Allowing yourself to look beyond labels will bring your awareness to other opportunities and possibilities. You may be experiencing something, but you do not have to own it as a permanent part of you, no matter what any medical professional tells you. The reason you are feeling anything that is painful or unpleasant is because you are alive on Earth right now – a place where a lot of violent, unpleasant things exist. Do not judge yourself or let anyone else judge you for sensitively reacting to them.
Make Sure to Thoroughly Detoxify.
All of the levels of yourself are connected and affect one another. The high vibes cannot manifest fully for you if you are not keeping the low ones out. Detoxifying on multiple levels involves keeping yourself and your space clear of low vibrational, toxic energies, and is a necessary piece in healing. Dealing with the beliefs I talked about above is an essential first step. Physical detox involves eliminating chemicals from your diet and home, and keeping the body clean inside and out. Consistently using energy clearing techniques attends to the etheric and spiritual levels.
Sometimes You Have to Go at It Alone.
In order to break free from those beliefs, which limit you, you may have to distance yourself from the people who believe in them. This could include your family members and friends, or even changing jobs or moving to a new location. Do not worry, new people and opportunities will be waiting for you when you make these changes.
Use Discernment with Your Intuitive Gifts.
Awakening is about choosing to live in the light, and being consciously aware and discerning in your daily decisions. With this, your intuitive gifts will probably make themselves more apparent, and it is important to use them. However, know where your information is coming from, and do not listen to fear-based energies. They are tricky and confusing. Listen to the voice of light that guides you rather than other’s opinions or advice – no matter who they are.
Empower Yourself with New Knowledge.
You do not need a special degree or certification to be able to thrive. However, it does help to have information and tools that you were mostly likely not taught in school. Nourish and engage the mental level of yourself by feeding it knowledge of how energy works. This can empower you to shift your experiences away from struggling and suffering, and into peace and vitality. Some concepts in new science illustrate this:
- Epigenetics ® You can change how your DNA expresses itself!
- String Theory ® Everything is made of vibrations, and the low vibrational ones are toxic to you.
- Fractals and Holograms ® You are designed in the same ways as nature; any change to one part affects the whole.
- Quantum Entanglement ® Beyond what you can see in the 3rd dimension, everything is connected. Sometimes you may feel badly due to something that your own energy is entangled with, that is nowhere in your physical vicinity.
- Nutrition ® Keep your mind open, learn the truth about how what you eat affects you, and use your intuition to know which types of foods you and your family need to thrive.
There are Always More Possibilities.
What works for one person may not be effective for another; everyone is different. Be brave and listen to your guidance as it leads you to the ways that you and your children need. Ask questions like, “What is in my highest good to do?” “Is this in my highest good to eat?” “What can I do to support and help my child that is in their highest good?” Allow the answers to present themselves to you. In our case, in being so extremely sensitive, I had to take all that I had learned and the skills I had developed, and create something new that would work for us. Keep the faith, and know that when you ask for assistance from The Divine, you will receive it.
Always Persevere!
Hang in there— you will make it through. The Light is stronger than the darkness and you are of The Light. Believe in yourself and trust your power!
