How To Thrive As An Empath

Reading what it’s like to be an empath can lead us to believe that being an empath is all about feeling drained, being constantly triggered and living according to the emotional whims of others.

While a lot of this can be true, there is also a flip side to being an empath that should be discussed just as much – how to thrive. Being an empath can either be extremely draining or extremely uplifting, it depends on how we manage and develop our sensitivity.

At a basic level sensitivity is not a bad thing, it means we are open to the great pleasures of life: love, friendships, and helping others. It also means we are open to the dark side of life: the pain, the deep lows, the emotional wounds of others.

By bringing consciousness to our sensitivity we can be open to both the light and dark without losing ourselves. We can tune into our own emotional needs and better meet them. We can avoid allowing our empathy to lead us into manipulation and abuse. This is what thriving as an empath looks like.

Why ‘Positive Thinking’ Doesn’t Work (And What to Do Instead)

As someone who talks a lot about the Law of Attraction, manifestation and maintaining a high vibration it may seem contradictory to state that positive thinking doesn’t work, but in reality there is a certain type of ‘positive thinking’ that does more harm than good.

This type of attitude is one where we ignore anything that we label as negative and stay away from addressing the harsh, upsetting, dark elements of our psyche. It is about avoiding the shadow and only embracing what makes us feel good on a surface level.

There is so much information about the Law of Attraction, from so many different sources, that it is easy to gain a distorted view of how to go about manifesting. In this post I want to talk about positive thinking, spiritual bypassing and a more balanced and sustainable approach to facing the positive and negative.

How to Develop Your Clairsentient Abilities

Are you the type of person who can look at someone who is smiling, laughing and appearing happy to everyone else but instantly notice the sadness in their eyes?

Can you enter a room and feel the interactions that took place before you entered? Can you go to the grocery store and just feel what sort of day each person you pass has had? You may be a natural clairsentient!

Clairsentience is the physic sense of feeling translated as “clear-feeling”, also referred to as “clear-sensing”, it is the ability to feel beyond someone’s words and actions and see their true motivations. This is a psychic sense that goes beyond rational thought, physical senses and explanation.

Of course we all possess this type of sense to some extent whether we wish to use the label clairsentient or not, however for some people this is a large part of how they navigate the world. They pick up on emotions and energy with such shocking accuracy that even they become overwhelmed by it sometimes.

Third Eye Vision: Seeing With The Third Eye

The third eye chakra is perhaps one of the most talked about spiritual topics on the Internet today. There are endless blogs and videos discussing the third eye and how to open it in record time, or how dangerous the third eye is and how it opens you up to all sorts of demonic influences.

The third eye or sixth chakra is associated with expanded awareness and inner vision. This chakra is located between the eyebrows and is often perceived as indigo in color. When our third eye ‘opens’ our perception of the world around us shifts accordingly.

Today I want to talk about the third eye, specifically about what to expect when you open it, and bring some much needed balance to the discussion. Know there is a way to open the third eye safely but it requires that you set the proper foundation.

The Pillow Manifestation Method

Manifestation is the art of bringing your dreams into reality using the power of your thoughts and emotions. If you’ve landed on this page than you are likely familiar with the Law of Attraction, at the most basic level this is the principle that what we put our mental focus into will eventually come to fruition in the physical.

There are so many people who talk about the Law of Attraction and so many different techniques that you can try that it can be difficult to know where to start. In today’s post I want to go over the pillow method.

This method is great for those who need a simple technique they can implement today with little fuss. It also helps get your mind tuned into this law and see how it can work for you, further increasing your chances of success down the road.

Are You Receiving Spiritual Energy Downloads?

If you’ve spent any amount of time reading spiritual blogs or YouTube videos it is likely you’ve come across the term ‘spiritual downloads’ or ‘energy downloads’ at least once.

Spiritual energy downloads are like spiritual epiphanies that come after an intense meditation session, while practicing yoga, or during a mindful moment in your day.

When we receive these downloads it can be as if our entire system is upgraded in a second; a new perspective opens up.

When we are consistent with our spiritual practice we can receive these downloads regularly – particularly after integrating a difficult lesson or reaching a new peak in awareness.

Learning to navigate such huge shifts in our outlook is challenging and requires that we are constantly grounding ourselves. This is probably sounds very familiar to you. In this post I’m going to go over what spiritual downloads are, how they manifest, and how to tell if you are receiving them.
