Going mainstream?

I have a mainstream life and my psychic, weird life. I teach an art class or two in respectable society. That’s my mainstream life. I love art, and especially expressive art and creativity of all kinds. In that world, I like to watch and coach people to thrive in their artistic expressions.

In my other life, I have conversations with Angels, travel regularly in between dimensions, see spirits, see lights around plants, talk and hear the animals as if it were totally natural, and try to teach all of this to other folks who think they make be crazy but are also “sensitives.” As a teacher in that world, I hope to see students thrive and grow and accept their sensitive, authentic selves. I suppose both world roles are the same. Same mission, different worlds. Pity that one world would probably freak at the other. I hope one day they will intertwine and the world has gotten to the point where that didn’t happen. In the meantime, I will feel a little fractured.

Slow Down

I’m getting the message from the Universe I need to slow down. It’s a bit hard when I am used to squeezing whatever I can into a day. I forget often I’m in a body. My teaching schedule has just doubled and I am learning the fine art of prioritizing. I’m not very good at it so it’s been a good laugh. My students must think I am just an absent-minded professor-type, when I usually have six hundred things on my mind that I am juggling. And like an addiction, I always am seeking other places to teach and other ways–I just enjoy it so much. That isn’t a problem, it’s being sure I schedule enough “in” time as I “out.” As a sensitive and being more introverted, I can in my excitement, be way too “out” and no schedule enough alone downtime. My first clue this is happening is cranky nastiness and of course, too much speed. The Universe made this clear to me when I received my first speeding ticket. Recently, I picked up a writing book that caught my eye: Chapter by Chapter. Ironically, my higher self gave me the message of slowing down also. I flipped right to the page entitled “slow down”, and that speed is a symptom of fear. That may very well be possible. I just think it is a clear sign of impatience.

Know Yourself

emonly.gif

What I am learning…instead of lamenting on how I am and who I am, I need to embrace it. My soul is letting me know what I need to make me happy and when I explain away or tell myself my feelings aren’t spiritual, I miss out on important clues. What do I mean exactly?

1. I love variety and get bored easily, that is why I love design assignments, love creating a class, learning new things. When I am in a position of doing the same thing over and over, of course I’m unhappy. The new spiritual ideas floating around say you need to “fix” that unspiritual thought, but that’s untrue! Here’s a valuable clue to what makes me tick. I need to work with this, not paddle upstream by changing me. ( I love the True Colors system. When I read about it I found out that most Green’s feel that way).

2. I need alone time to touch base with myself and recharge. After reading the Introvert Advantage, I know that this is a truth for most folks like myself. It’s documented truth. If I try to force myself to be more social all the time like the rest of the world, I’m going to be one bitchy, nasty girl. My daughter is the opposite. She needs to be around people most of the time. She’s gotten alot more balanced and can now spend lots of time in her room. For a few years there I tried to accommodate her and be “out” more than “in”. It didn’t work. I overloaded most the time.

Without alone time I have no idea how I really feel. Then it’s not uncommon for me to say things like, “I didn’t even know I was angry.”

3.  A big clue you aren’t taking the time to hear yourself is when you are screaming at the Universe, “Don’t you hear me!”, when you don’t feel your needs are being heard. This was big a realization for me. Why should the Universe listen to you when you don’t?

Today, listen to yourself. Accept the negative feelings! Let it out! Don’t rewrite them to sound positive or to be politically correct or so you only attract the positive. The positive is underneath all that gunk that needs to come out first. These are clues to what you need, people. I write this for myself as a reminder, as well as, to share with you.

Weird and Wild Energies

It’s been a wild ride lately. Very lucid dreams, lots of Guide and Angel visits around the clock, big downloads and wacky energy. I love teaching and have been very busy lately. Have other lightworkers noticed how dead things are computer-wise? My blogs have been quiet, online biz very, very quiet, and yet teaching has been very busy and lots of flow. Thank Dog I have that! I am being shown which direction to go. I have felt so many changes to myself lately, it is as if now I am discerning what clothes fit me (biz choices, places to work and things to do) and what to throw out and donate.

Another change has been feeling less affected by even really big changes. I am less swept away with my emotions. Perhaps I am learning DUCK ENERGY. I did flip out yesterday when I found out that my course for next fall at the college was removed without my feedback. But, even then, I was watched out for by the Universe–someone caught the slight and renamed the class and threw it back into the schedule. I have a tendency to think the worse and brace myself (which can make perfect sense after a tortuous 2006 and 7), so it’s been wonderful to see I am being supported and taken care of. I had made an intention and announcement to that end to always feel well taken care of. Lately, I have been given gifts by my students, there’s the college save, our new home to be, and everyday this intention has been evident. Nice…. I have so much to share. Angelbeagle visits, seeing energy, spirits setting off alarms. Stay tuned…

Time management for empaths

I’m listening to a great tape–Time Management from the Inside Out–as I drive to school. Of course, the suggestions are for the ideal situation. I find, lately, I rush around like a nut most days, bending to everyone else’s needs, ending the day exhausted and my own fun on the backburner. I realized my time management was more about being centered for me in my own world–not pulled by the many threads around me. I learned this in Nia class the other day also. In Nia, a free-form type of dance class, we bend and flow and scurry around the room. When I switched focus to what other dancers were doing, I actually lost my balance! Back in my own head and my own experience, I felt centered and strong. How fabulous a dance class would be so profound in teaching me. The way I did my process in the class would apply to everything else I do. This week with the help of my ever present and very patient Angel & Fairy Guides, I am focusing on centering.

Go where it flows

Much, much thanks to my fellow colleagues and blog pals who wrote and commented on my How Not To Manifest. I am never too scared to lay out my vulnerability and mistakes in this blog. I used to think this wasn’t a good thing, perhaps as a teacher, I should be more “professional” and present myself as “all-wise”and “all-knowing, but I am seeing that we all need to share. We need to share, because when we do, we realize we are not alone, and we have the answers for each other.

Here’s a little excerpt from my Psychic Necessities For Sensitives online class:

I am learning in Dream School with my Guides, the lesson of focusing on what is flowing. Too often, being a sensitive, I will focus on the slights and the rejections because I feel them so strongly. Sometimes, I think we are programmed to do this type of vision from when we are very young. As natural healers we want to fix what is broken, so we focus on what doesn’t work to figure out how to make it work! We need to highlight what does feel good, where things ARE flowing, and where we ARE wanted. This flow is an arrow to where we need to go.

For instance, in my own life, the two college classes I wanted to teach, and were very excited about, have overflowed with students. My 15 room capacity class for animal communication now has 17 students! My book class has a wait list. This tells me that both topics are wanted and this is where I need to teach.

When we first moved here, I tried to teach a local fairy class that no one signed up for! I was devastated, hurt, and felt horribly rejected. Naturally, being new, I wanted community in this new town. After the rejection, I wanted to go back into my shell and  was afraid to venture forth again. Of course then, little mind steps in and tells me that what I teach isn’t wanted here! But with the success of an overflowing class for ac this tells that little mind that NO, it IS wanted! I need to focus on that 17 group of students who are eager to learn this subject and what I have to offer, not on the rejected class. My old ways would be to try to do another type of class at the same place that failed. Perhaps if I try harder. Maybe even obsess on that loss. But what we all learned in the Secret, :), is that what we focus on expands. I want more of these eager students! And remembering where I need to go is where it is working, I plan more big classes at the college. 🙂 Then perhaps down the line, when I encounter another class or group that doesn’t work, I know the feeling of a class that does, so I skip the rejection phase and go right for only wanting the class I belong to teach.

Sad dreams

I’ve been having so many grief dreams lately! I wonder what kind of energy is floating around in the air. Many of my dreams have the theme of me trying to save people from dying. Now, to be fair, this has been a constant in my life. Perhaps I am clearing out a part of me that needs to be washed away. Perhaps, this is a dream theme because I am trying different avenues to teach, venturing forward in new activities, that brings some fear and anxiety. I am also hearing many ultimatums in my head–either this makes money or it is gone, or I’ve had enough of struggling in ___ area. That tells me my energy is changing and everything else needs to change to. I am wondering if other lightworkers are experiencing these feelings…

Don’t watch Angel before sleep If you are sensitive

For the past few weeks my family and I have been watching Angel season 4 on DVD. I normally like this show of good vs. evil, but this season is out and out dark. Apparently I in the middle of clearing out big stuff, and the energies have been weird in the world right now-crazy, static-y–so perhaps not the best time to watch. I woke up this morning, again, from a nightmare that closely resembled living through the Holocaust. I appear to be dumping past life stuff or collective stuff! After waking, I realized a big portion of what we were watching on Angel was a big metaphor for the Holocaust. Big oh! But do I need to release and relive this stuff? Has my sensitivity increased that much that I can’t eat processed hotdogs AND watch Angel?  Or, is it stuff that needed to clear out? A big clearing….
