Empathic Abilities and Connections: “The Feeling”
Empathy, empathic abilities, and what I call “energetic connections” (or emotional connections) between people are all about feeling what someone else is feeling. Some of us empaths, or “highly sensitive people,” have these abilities more than others, to the extent where it seems like a curse. If you’ve formed an emotional, empathy-type connection to someone…

Psychic Spying: Revealing your own Secrets by Mistake
Psychic Spying can backfire in the worst sort of way—you can not only alert the person you’re snooping on, but divulge your own deepest, darkest secrets. From the Bookshelf Shielding Techniques for Empaths — practical protection against negative energy for the person who feels everything. Available direct from the author → Several years ago, I…

What Does It Take to Trust Someone?
A man in my life made me cry today. He’s doesn’t know he made me cry or why, but it was a turning point for me as far as my level of trust and where I’m willing to go in our relationship. These were not tears of hurt. Not tears of joy either. I was…

Starving the Energy Vampire (aka Deflating the Drama Queen Effect)
Not long ago but long enough ago, in a serene little home I call my own, I fell head over heels in love with someone I never expected to think twice about. I knew from that first moment that our time together was short—he was moving away soon, and soon after that to the other…

Hurricane Gustav and Mother Nature’s Animal/Insect Warnings
I’ve been through many, many hurricanes, and Hurricane Gustav has made me feel anxious since it was a blip in the Atlantic that no one but the online meteorologists were talking about. It’s as if something energetic, something in the Ether, gets all worked up, as if the energy of an area is preparing for…

“Going Green” with Fluorescent Light Bulbs–and the Weird Science of Seeing Ghosts?
Finally! The last of my compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs burned out and while everyone else is jumping on the “green” bandwagon I’ve been on for years, I’ve had to jump off when it comes to lighting in my house. I’m back to the energy hogs that don’t save the environment or money, but save…

A Meditation First for Me
For quite some time now, I’ve started my meditations in my Enchanted Forest. I’ve met lovers there and friends, had men drink from my hands and lips and hug me for dear life from on their knees. I’ve pulled them out of dark prisons, drifted on quiet lakes, let them sleep in my arms, climbed…

Compassion Is Not Weakness
Something startling happened in a couple of new relationships that were shaping up to be quite beautiful. I didn’t understand and for several days, I’ve asked for understanding. There were echoes of similar relationships that ended suddenly, without an explanation at the time or an explanation that came later that I didn’t understand. Until now.…

The Kundalini Rise Is Rocket Fuel for a Blast from the Past
As with most Mercury Retrogrades, people from my past are coming out of the woodwork, but the most amazing thing was not the phone call I received late today but in what happened before. I’m left with an odd feeling of intense interest, annoyance, and a little bit of self-superiority as if I’ve been competitively…
