Dark Jewels: Mining The Gifts Of 8 Difficult Emotions

Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It is a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity. — Pema Chodron

fearJack Adam Weber –  Unless we look into and skillfully navigate our dark sides, we can’t become our fullest selves. Consequently, we can’t truly love ourselves and the world as much as we are capable. Following Pema Chodron’s reasoning: if we cannot bear our own pain, how can we bear the pain of others? If we are afraid of our own suffering, how can we genuinely stand with another in theirs and thereby be the friend possible?

Below I list eight natural, universal emotions that at first blush we might feel like avoiding. This list is a kind of treasure hunt, revealing what we get to discover when we welcome and allow these at first uncomfortable feelings to be, and eventually change us from our depths on up through our heart and mind. For this growth to happen, we first have to be honest with ourselves—to be aware of what we are feeling and able to name it. Then we can embrace the feelings and go from there. Continue reading

Free Your Spirit! Tips On Getting Rid Of Negative Energy

negative energyLoveOrAbove – Energy is everything. You can’t see it, but you can definitely feel it. If you’ve ever instantly disliked someone without knowing why – or on the flip side, instantly connected with them – it’s because of the ‘vibe’ that you are both radiating. Some people give off negative vibes, and others positive.

What’s important is that we are naturally attracted to people who give off a similar vibe to ourselves – that’s why, if you’re in a negative state, you may feel attracted to people who are also negative, and dislike or be repelled by people who are vibrating more positively.

Your home and your workplace are powerful concentrations of “your” energy just because of the amount of time you spend there. The thoughts you think, the words you say, the actions you take, are very strong in your home. So it’s important to clear out negative energy in these physical spaces, and at the same time clear out any negative energy that’s stuck within you, so you can start an upward trend in your life.

Here are some ways to clear negative energy: Continue reading

4th Dimensional Negative Energies

negative energyDawn Bailey – I wrote about 5th dimensional negative energy and higher that I look for when helping someone. These energies will leave you alone until right before ascension to the 5th. They try and hold you down from ascending by lowering your vibration.

I am now going to go into the 4th dimensional energies to watch out for. These, of course, are meant to keep you from raising your vibration for ascension too.

Demons and Entities are the ones most are familiar with. There are different ones, but they all do the same. They cause negative emotions and thoughts that can mentally wear you down. They can be very painful to those that feel energy. They exaggerate your feelings and can cause you to act out of character. Perhaps they might make you say something or act in a way that isn’t you, but will not be able to stop yourself. Once removed, you will go back to normal behavior.

The theme for April is Intensity!

intensityLena Stevens – It is a month of higher highs and lower lows. You can expect intense emotional mood swings, lots of weeping, incredible chaos that you think you can’t handle, and then amazing synchronicity where everything falls into place. There will be bursts of energy as well as unexpected times of deep fatigue where you can’t get out of bed. You may on one day experience overwhelming inspiration, incredible clarity, courage and determination; and on another, debilitating despair, deep confusion, and paralyzing fear.

Everything is intensified this month. Nothing escapes. If you are grieving it will be at a level you have never experienced. If you are ecstatic, it will be almost more than you can handle. The higher emotional center is paired with the instinctive center this month in an interesting relationship whose purpose is to stretch you like a rubber band, expanding your container to eventually be more, do more, receive more, understand more and experience more. The ultimate goal is to break through the membrane of our limited beliefs about how this universe works and what we are actually capable of creating. So that is the reference point we need to hold out there as a carrot for ourselves when things get tough this month.

April is full of growing pains. We are in the process of replacing the fabric and patterns of how we operate in this physical universe with a new matrix and energetic circuitry much like replacing a light fixture that was only able to handle 100 watts to one that can handle 1000. And then replacing the bulb from 100 watts to 1000 watts. Imagine the intensity of light from that sudden change!

The adjustment to a higher intensity is difficult. The body is resistant and our comfort level suffers. It is easy to get trapped in the negative expressions of this intensity and we want to warn you all about going there. The discipline this month will be to focus on how to use and channel this increase in intensity to feed the positive, the creative and the inspired intentions in your life rather than anything negative.
