Changes

It has been so long since I have posted, I forgot that I even had a blog and had to go back and find it. I just returned from an NICU travel nurse assignment in Norfolk/Portsmouth Va. that was nine months long. I have been through many changes since then. The most exciting of these was that I became a Dreamwalker Birth Facilitator, otherwise known as an adoula or birth connector. This is the facilitation of conscious birth and connection with the energy of those about to be born via conscious breathing. I will be talking more about this type of birth facilitation which is a perfect and wonderful process for a conscious skilled empath.

Birth Intuitive

It has been awhile since I have posted. Possibly, that is because this blog is not very interactive.

This past weekend, (Oct.21st), I came across a website that featured a midwife in Colorado who is known as a birth intuitive. Her name is Teresa Robertson. She is an R.N., a certified nurse midwife, as well as a healer. I love that she uses her education, skills, synthesizes them with intuitive perception and puts it out there! Teresa teaches moms how to connect with their unborn baby themselves.

Intuition is not new to nursing, (or medicine), for that matter...it is just not spoken about very often as nurses want others to know that they have used their training, only, to practice and give nursing care to patients/clients.

Teresa's website is http://www.birthintuitive.com. I would encourage people stopping by for a visit to this blog pay a visit to Teresa's website. Kudos Teresa!

Empathic Intuitive Assessment

It has been a week since I have posted. I experienced a posting block for several days. I am a consistent contributor to another blog, (Deeper Perception Made Practical). I am even more excited about the title of this blog as it describes a type of intuitive process for me that I have referred to in a previous post. My own research suggests that this term is not in use.

The term empathic here does not refer to putting one in another's shoes, (though that is nice). It describes my intuitive process as an empath, (one who directly experiences what it is like to be another person, emotionally, spiritually, and sometimes physically). It is one way that I am intuitive, but fits me perfectly, like a glove. I will soon be offering services using this term.

Just like anything new or different, most people may not relate to this term. One intuitive I know of has trade marked the term "Health Intuitive" or "Health Intuition." There are many who are unfamiliar with that term. I'm going to go with the title of this blog as it calls to me. It describes a way of reading people deeper. The method of deeper perception is not new, the term seems to be. So I will use it!

Hello October

Here it is a new month. October 1st was not one of my best days...so I took a very long walk around where I live and a lot of what could be called dross came up.
I did check in with myself in the morning as I have described on this blog. My predominate state was frustration. What did I do? I let it be, accepting the feelings, exploring why but not wallowing. This blog is not a personal diary for the world to read, however, I will sometimes post things that impact my empathic nature. There are real reasons for my frustration which I will not go in to here.

What I did, besides the walk, was to read something humorous, (with a serious undertone), take care of some business, and turn off the morning T.V. The news, especially, is not an uplifting experience, even for an empath who is much more skilled than I used to be. Doing some light chores is also very helpful and grounds me. I will have to make note of posting in the near future about grounding....it's BIG. Putting on music is very healing. The most important thing I did not do was to try and chase away my frustration or stuff it. I'm still frustrated today.

I will revive my practice of daily gratitudes, even writing them down in the evening. That helps a lot by opening the doors to more. It is only when one is truly grateful for an experience that one can release it and it's emotional charge. Then there are just things like, the cool morning air of the fall season in Kentucky, the leaves beginning to change. There is no doubt that the Fall is my favorite season! There is also the, suprising, joy that I have come to know from regularly posting on this blog.

The End of September

This day, the end of September, will also herald a new beginning, October. Even though this blog has not been interactive, thus far, I have been more consistent with my posting. That has been very important as a discipline for me even if I am the only one who reads it! I have tried to make it readable for those who may visit. It is not perfect, grammatically, but if that was my goal I would never make an entry! I wish to extend gratitude for those who have made the journey to this place and wish to learn more about being an empath and, specifically, my process...empathic intuitive assessment. It is a long term but describes what I do perfectly. I plan to hang on to the title of this blog, for now.
If you feel that you may be an empath and want to join a forum of other empaths visit, http://www.skilledempaths@groups.msn.com/ The moderator is Lisa P., (purplelisa13), who has also studied with Rose Rosetree,

Something to Add...

When you are first getting up in the morning, (or whenever that is), it is always important to set an intention. The previous two entries is a basic for checking in with yourself as an empath before you take on the energy of other things/people in your environment. Set an intention with a divine being, either an Archangel or an Ascended Master. Here, I am going to divert, somewhat, from what I have been taught or have seen elsewhere....that divine being can be your own divinity, or Expanded Self! I prefer the term Expanded Self to Higher Self. This is the part of you that is wise, loving, and beyond who you are as a personality. If you would like to have another divine being also be a part of this...by all means:-) Doing this simple technique as described previously, will also touch in to your Soul, definitely important for knowing the deepest part of who you are.

Throughout The Day

Dear Readers,
Each morning, after you have raised your awareness by taking several breaths,(about 7), in through the nose and out through the mouth, checked in with every aspect of your being as noted in the last post, it is important that you ground yourself. To do this, imagine a cord running from the base of your spine straight through and way down through the center of the earth. Then take about seven quick, grounding breaths out and in. You need to stay in your body to experience your own life more fully as well as to be effective as a skilled empath.

The above combined with the previous entry gives you a basis on which to compare your experiences for the remainder of the day. As you go through your day and interact with other people, experience another's concerns or difficulties etc., you can say your name to yourself and ask ,"Anything that is not me please leave".

There are other simple techniques in the book, "Empowered by Empathy". This book is my primer for all things empathic. The reason I keep mentioning it is to give credit to the one who created the techniques I share with you, Rose Rosetree. Someday in the near future, I will develop and share some techniques of my own.
