Empath series: More on psychic burnout or how many hats do I have here?
One of the things that contribute to psychic burn out are the requests for help that I get on a pretty regular basis. For instance, I get frequent requests for help by e-mail. I would say, they would come at the rate of around four to six a month, and while not very many in…

Empath Series: Psychic burnout or I’m too exhausted to think of anything witty to write here.
I took some well-earned vacation this month. (Hence the lack of blogs.) As usual, I find that I tend to collapse into a heap, and while the body is willing, the spirit is not. In this state, even thinking is an effort and answering questions is difficult. It’s even hard to read anything longer than…

Empath Series – Bach flower remedy: Mimulus or some spiders just aren’t that cuddly.
In the year 2001, I was taking a break from work. I got up to play a game on my computer, and as it was at night, I decided to not turn on the lights, so I wouldn’t disturb anyone. As it was late, I was in my dressing gown and apart from the glow…

10 Spiritually Transmitted Diseases (reposted from The Huffington Post)
I don’t normally just repost articles, but right now, I’m on leave, and very slow with my writings, and I saw this one that I felt was well worth sharing from The Huffington Post. Enjoy. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mariana-caplan-phd/spiritual-living-10-spiri_b_609248.html It is a jungle out there, and it is no less true about spiritual life than any other aspect…

My occasional rants: Customer Service in Australia or stop bsing me.
For those who don’t know, I live in Australia. It’s been a wonderful place for me to live, though lately we’re going downhill with our standard of living. (Though we still have wonderful conditions.) One of the things that drive me nuts here, though, is our standard of service. As long as I can remember,…

Empath Series – Bach flower remedy: More on Elm or what else does it do?
I thought I’d continue on with the remedy Elm today. There are many levels to each remedy, and Elm certainly is no exception. If anyone has any requests on what remedy can help what, let me know and I’ll feature it sooner than later. The Symptoms of an Elm type: Temporarily loss of confidence in…

Empath Series: Support networks or where can I go to find others like me?
One of the most difficult things about being an empath is the feeling of isolation and loneliness. Most people you tell may not understand. They may either think you’re crazy, dismiss you as a freak or look at your blankly, wondering what the heck you’re talking about. Some will even denounce you as working with…

Empath Series – Bach flower remedy: Elm – The remedy for being overwhelmed or I dropped the eggs.
One of the complaints from Empaths that I hear a lot is that they often feel overwhelmed by too many feelings and emotions. So much so, it drives them nuts. It is a very real problem, and causes all kinds of issues, including psychic burnout. You might liken it to one of those old egg…

Intuition series: I now know what I need to do or at least I thought I did!
So, you’ve decided to do something. It feels right, and you’re excited. You go to bed, but when you wake up the next day, you suddenly feel doubt, and a sense of uneasiness, or even panic. But you decide to go ahead anyway. After all, you need to trust your intuition right? Yes, you do,…

Intuition series: An example of intuition or why doesn’t anyone listen to me?
I don’t scare easily. In spite of me ignoring my intuition on certain things (such as relationships I wanted to pursue because I didn’t like that answers I got), I have generally listened to it in the past when there was no emotional attachment involved, and I didn’t care about the outcome. I’ve stated that…

Intuition series: How to use intuition or should I head north to go south?
I don’t know what it’s like for others, so I can only draw on my own personal experiences here. For me, I find when I’m thinking about a certain course of action, or am doing something; my stomach (in the solar plexus chakra area) will either feel distressed as though something is churning within me.…

Intuition series: Logic or why doesn’t it work?
I’ve spoken about intuition on and off, but have yet to really explain what it means. I used to think that intuition was about manifesting and using mind powers. That was back in the 80 and 90s, when there just wasn’t any information around at the time. My intuition was working fine, but I would…
