Are You Out of the Psychic Closet?

designingfairy3 Comments

I’m intuitive. Okay, I’m psychic. There, I said it.

Perhaps it’s the word that is so freaky and scary. We envision women in gypsy garb with a crystal ball trying to scam us for money.

I don’t see the abilities I have as superparanormal in anyway, really. Some folks can play the piano or are great at basketball or amazing singers. I am none of those things. My abilities may have increased and evolved in time from attention and education, but I’m pretty sure I was just wired this way when I came in. I have a very analytical mind, which I’ve mentioned before, so I had to see lots of validations and proof that what I was receiving was correct before I embraced my abilities. After literally saving many animals lives and feeling information there was no way I would have known, I was convinced.

I don’t “do” predictions or tell your fortune. I don’t read minds, at least on purpose. I don’t know how many fingers you are holding up. That’s not my thing. Every psychic is different; Kinda like the superheroes of Xmen–one can throw fire; one can freeze things. My abilities do lie in having advanced empathy–I can feel what others feel and register information from many layers–which I’ve shared and talked about often here at this site. My other abilities lie in connecting to the spirit world and animals through thought and feeling. I also see energies.

Most all my friends are psychic in some way. Most of my readers here, and my clients and students are the same way. It’s the norm for us. I am convinced that in a few years from now we will all have this ability or acknowledge what is already there.

So, I do have to laugh when I hesitate when others ask me what I do. There’s still many who don’t believe in this “stuff.” I think that is so funny. It’s like seeing an elephant in the room and there’s folks who refuse to believe it’s there, when it’s plain as day. I love the scene in the movie, Field of Dreams, when the character’s brother-in-law couldn’t see the spirit baseball field that everyone else could. It was the big running joke of the movie. Only when he believed and opened his heart did he see it. It’s not my job to convince others who are still blind to the elephant. I can live without your approval.

Really creepy thing today: my site can show how viewers found my site through web search. The phrase was “fairy spirit channeling psychiatric disorder”. Oh, that’s funny too. Well, hopefully there’s a group of sort I could join then and have a label. Even better if there’s medication involved! Next they will be saying that talking to God and feeling his/her presence is a sign of mental illness. It’s so old school, people.

Which leads me to a recommendation for Review Thursday. I love, love the show Merlin. The title character, Merlin from King Arthur days, is a young teen trying to protect the future king while having to hide his abilities. The King hates all magic out of fear from those who have misused the ability.

I wish Merlin would just get out of the psychic/magic closet and be who he is. We all know the story that, later, of course, he does.

Until next time. I will meet you at the next meeting for the FairySpirit Channeling Psychiatric Disorder Group. Oooh, I can design the t-shirts.

Lightworkers, are we becoming too sensitive?

designingfairy2 Comments

I am noticing with my friends, clients and myself, that we are becoming more sensitive and more psychic in our abilities. Are we evolving?

Have you noticed that you can pick up more now what others are feeling or even thinking? I haven’t been able to watch tv shows lately that are dark at all. I rented a copy of Supernatural. It’s a tv series I used to watch and enjoy. I physically hurt through most of it; there was that much violence and cruelty. This wasn’t entertainment. Maybe I am not the too sensitive one. Maybe it’s the world who is getting so numb they can stand this level of darkness assaulting our eyes. I can’t do that anymore.

After having that happen, feeling so sensitive, I first thought, “Do I need to live in a box then, away from the world?” Many of my clients come to me wondering the same things.

And the answer I heard this morning was No. You don’t need to isolate. I think we’ve always been this sensitive, some of us. We came in wired this way. But then we accumulated a great deal of mud and fog to numb over our sensitivity. What we’ve been doing is clearing out the mud and being who we really are under all that crap. So, then, the darkness doesn’t feel right when you’ve just gotten rid of a ton of our own darkness. You no longer resonate. Why would you want a part of what you just got rid of?

Our light is coming back. We aren’t turning into light. We were light to start with! And then we got involved in earth school and layers of mud kept getting added until we didn’t recognize we were light at all. We thought we were dirt. And probably listening to voices growing up telling us we were flawed in some way for being sensitive, we really did believe we were dirt.

So, no. You aren’t too sensitive. You never were. We’ve had to adjust to being here. But now you have no choice as you work on your healing to be anyone but who you really are. One big shining light. Perhaps we are all just lightning bugs.

I think that is kinda cool.

What kind of sensitive empath are you? fun quiz

designingfairy3 Comments

For fun, you know you are a sensitive and an empath. Take the quiz to find out which kind you are.

Circle in your head or write down the numbers which apply.

  1. You come down with a sudden, horrible stomach ache. Logical mind says it was a bad lunch or the flu going around, but then your dog enters the room and pukes on the carpet, and looks a little green around the edges. (physical or animal empath)
  2. While shopping at the nearby Walmart, you enter the frozen food section and want to burst out into tears. You feel overwhelming, deep sadness and loneliness. (emotional empath or allergy to poorly designed boxed foods)
  3. While relaxing on the couch you suddenly hear words come from your dog, “I want to go for a walk now.” (animal empath or the result of smoking too many mushrooms)
  4. Sitting in the backyard you feel a wave of joy come over you and a sense of peace, and you have an urge to smell the rose bush (nature empath, or the mushrooms are still doing their stuff from the day before)
  5. You feel down and angry when two minutes before you felt peaceful. Your closest friend then calls and says he is feeling down and angry. (emotional empath or you just shopped at a crowded Walmart)
  6. Two days before a major earthquake hits another country you have nightmares of earthquakes, anxiety or feelings of doom (mission empath or watching too many movies before bed)
  7. You know that one fern plant needs more water and to be placed in a sunnier window (nature empath or you’ve read a lot of books on houseplants)
  8. You receive strong messages or channelings that will help the world regarding self esteem (mission empath or still feel the effects of the mushrooms)
  9. You enter a hospital and feel fear, sadness, anxiety. You walk by one room and feel a pain in your side (physical empath or fear of hospitals)
Circled one or more nature empath: NATURE EMPATH you’re tuned into the Nature Spirits and Fairies. Welcome aboard fellow fairy.
Circled one or more emotional empath: EMOTIONAL EMPATH you’re tuned into the emotions of others. You just need tools and good boundaries.
Circled one or more physical empath: PHYSICAL EMPATH you’re tuned into the physical ailments of others. You will just need to discern how to get rid of the feelings and not take it on.
Circled one or more animal empath: ANIMAL EMPATH you’re tuned into animals and can help them greatly.
Circled one or more mission empath: MISSION EMPATH you’re tuned into the world and your gifts will be used to help the planet.
Circled mushrooms: whoa! Where did you get that stuff?

Why Being Empathic Can Suck & Not Suck

designingfairy9 Comments

Here is my top 10 lists why being Empathic can suck and not suck.

The 10 Reasons Why Being Empathic Can Really Suck:

  1. You can feel deeply when loved-ones are in pain. Sometimes, you can confuse what they feel with what you feel.
  2. The world can overwhelm you. Bad things happen like the tsunami in Japan, and you feel deep pain, sadness, ennui, and helplessness.
  3. You can feel deeply intimate and close to others when it may be hard for them to return the favor.
  4. You can have lots of astral and mediumship visits, hear your animals, and there are tons of voices or feelings and information coming towards you.
  5. The planets moving around and the moon cycles affect you where others walk around mindless and untouched.
  6. You have access to deep information which others don’t have and therefore, you feel the need to jump in all the time.
  7. You feel deep responsibility.
  8. Your feelings are easily hurt and wonder why others can be so cruel with their words.
  9. You care about other people. A LOT.
  10. And number 10, folks can look at you a little crazy because you can see the Fairy light in the bush, you hear your animals’ thoughts and you know someone is upset even when they insist they are just fine.

Empath, before you go jump off the bridge, I offer the 10 things that don’t suck about being an empath.

  1. Because you feel deeply, you really experience life and all its pieces. You’re really living your life richly and thoroughly.
  2. Yes, the world can be overwhelming, but you have healing and psychic abilities that others may not have and can make a big difference in healing the world.
  3. Yes, you can feel closer to others, but you teach them how to really love and love themselves. What a gift that is and what a teacher you are. Plus, you can feel love from many places to fill up with.
  4. Being psychic, your world is not limited. It’s expansive and filled with mystery. You don’t have to accept that a loved one is gone or that there is a separation between you. You know and feel there isn’t.
  5. You are in-tuned with the earth and can better heal you and itself.
  6. That deep information helps you understand other people and have compassion for them so you don’t need to judge or fall for surface stories.
  7. That deep responsibility makes you a honorable and trustworthy person.
  8. Your feelings get hurt easily, but this allows you to teach others that have no sensitivity at all. You have what they miss and need.
  9. There’s nothing wrong with caring about other people. It’s why we are here–to help ourselves and each other along the road. How cool is that?
  10. If crazy is being open to all the magic in the world, why would you want to be closed off from that?

So, you see dear empath, you are gift to the earth and what looks like something wrong is something very right.

Fairy blessings,

Empath Report

designingfairy4 Comments

It’s rainy and it’s yucky and I smell wet dog. I’ve been hearing from many how the “super moon” has affected them. We’ve got quite a bit empathically going on with the obvious, which is what is happening in Japan we are picking up. Here’s some empathic symptoms I’ve noticed of late:

  • Feeling out and out cranky. Empaths, we are doing lots of work in our sleep at this time. The healers are bouncing out and heading over to Japan to help. That results in lots of unrestful sleep, which equals big time cranky in the morning. When I need a barometer of what is happening I look to Sarah, my super sensitive beagle mix. She’s been nocturnal at night. It’s all that energy.
  • Increased psychic ability. Visually, I’m seeing alot. That veil between worlds is pretty thin also. It’s like get a mini boost up. Opening up your heart and empathic abilities can do that.
  • Sadness. Again, natural what is happening with the events in the world. You might even feel hopeless and helpless. The media isn’t helping with any of this, and is in fact, making things worse. I just love the headlines of disaster. It’s like living with my departed grandmother all the time with all the negative thinking.

Tools or solutions for this week? Ordinarily, I’d say focus on the positive and bring in that great fairy energy. Instead, I am suggesting to go with your feelings. Just let it out. Don’t get lost in them. Know they are temporary and just feel what needs to be felt.

When the earth moves and shakes like it did, we move and shake alongside of it. We are feeling the energy of change which can be scary and ungrounding. The solution for these feelings? Create a safe, cozy place for yourself, Empath. You are the constant in your life among all the change.  Create some grounding tools and anchors to feel more steady (50 Tools for the Sensitive, tool #31 ). Nurture yourself in any way you can that’s healthy. It’s okay to cocoon right now. It’s not forever. You will emerge later.

It’s too cold! Today has been a great day to snuggle up to my girls, make some warm foods, and read and learn. It’s the perfect time of year for that. And coincidently, (great segue in, don’t you think?) the e-book I’ve spent over a year compiling, living and writing, will be ready tomorrow and I can’t contain my excitement. I love how our tough experiences in the end can benefit others if we share what we have learned.

Help! I’m Sensitive! 50 Tools to help you thrive and survive is located in the bookstore here at this site. Official announcements for the book come out tomorrow, but I couldn’t contain myself.

I’ve learned valuable techniques to help with my sensitivity including techniques like Mouse Theory and Psychic Vampires, filling in holes, turtle shell, changing aura pictures, dealing with other people throwing their fears at you, taking care of the number one need for empaths, why panic attacks can happen in malls, and much more. I’ve included my favorite entries here from my blog and included a great deal of tools from my arsenal given to me by my helpful team of Guides in the past year.

You can order the book now here today and start empowering yourself right away and have warm reading material for those cold nights.

Catching a bad mood

designingfairy3 Comments

When you are sensitive, you can feel someone else’s mood a mile away, and it affects you like it would the smell of bad perfume. I learned an important lesson yesterday I wanted to share about setting boundaries and bad moods.

I took a detour yesterday and went to a different post office then my cozy, friendly one. I had to send a package via Customs and waited patiently in line. I had a few more packages fumbling under my arm that had to go to the States.

When I made my way to the Teller I felt it: Bad mood.

She looked at my package and told me curtly that it needed a Customs form. She talked to me like I was a moron and I was purposely insulting her. She then threw the form at me with no directions and brushed me away. Thinking logically, I asked her if I could just pay for the other packages and then fill out the form and she said no twice. That wasn’t how it was done.

The form came in a little booklet with lots of pages and made very little sense when you are in a hurry. I filled out the end form thinking that was the procedure and went back in line to face her again. This time I had the growing sensation of insecurity building up inside of me. “Was I stupid?” I stopped my train of thought quickly and sized up the situation. No, this woman had a “everyone is a moron but me” attitude going that I did not appreciate and it was affecting how I felt. I almost took it on.

Back in front of her, I lost my temper when she chastised me for only filling out the last form, without realizing that it was a duplicate and I should have filled out the first form.

“How the hell would I know that?” I snapped at her. I had been virally affected by her bad mood, and now I was hostile and on the defensive.

I walked away back to the desk to fill out the form “right.” That’s when the aha moment arrived. Eureka! I could walk away. I could take my stuff and go to another post office or even wait for another teller in line. I mumbled this out loud. I didn’t have to put up with her bad treatment or the bad mood she was flinging at others! I also didn’t have to get involved with defending myself or confronting her and showing her what she was doing. That wasn’t my job.

That’s when the Universe rewarded me immediately for my new lesson learned. The woman was so riled she walked into the back and was replaced by another teller who now was about to serve me.

This woman fawned over my cute little drawn mailing labels and stickers and complimented me. We chit-chatted about making art and how much we loved the process, and she told me about her art. When the transaction was completed,  she said “Nice meeting you.”

This was a 180 degree turn around from what I had just experienced! I told the world what I wanted and what I didn’t want. And I threw what wasn’t mine back at the person and basically said, “Here. This isn’t mine, it’s yours.” I won’t put up with bad treatment.

Now I do understand that working at the post office is a very stressful job. My husband worked there for years and told me the counter was the hardest job of all. And I am always trying to understand where the other person is coming from and have compassion. But the teller expected defiance, rudeness, ignorance, and received it, by being rude!  Her foul treatment passed along to me, and if I had owned her mood, caught that contagion, I would surely have passed it to many others throughout the day like a bad cold.

See it, just say No, and Yes to what you do want.
