The Unaware Empath—Why I Wanted to Run from Church

My husband, Charlie, used to serve as a Bishop at a university ward in our church. Things had been running smoothly... until some boundary changes were made.

Oddly enough, the entire student leadership were all moved into another ward, and many new students moved in to fill the void. I had become so comfortable with the way things were, that my entire body went crazy with the change.

My friend, I felt so unbalanced and anxious, I thought I was going batty!

I totally misunderstood the energies of all the strangers around me and was unprepared to deal with those intense feelings. I just wanted to run away and hide.

That experience reminded me how easy it is for sensitive souls to take on unfamiliar energy and spiral into confusion.

If that sounds familiar, here are 5 gentle ways to stay grounded when life (and people) change suddenly.

If that sounds familiar... if you've found yourself in a situation that feels foreign to you, here are 5 tips to help you grounded when life (and people) change suddenly.

1. Don’t assume there is something wrong with you. Allow yourself to feel, think and act without self-judgment.

2. Pay attention to the frequencies of people, situations and locations. If you are in a circumstance that involves a group, and you are sensing fear (or any number of other negative emotions), don’t change yourself to match them. 

3. Be open and aware as to what is happening in your body. Be sensitive to the signals your body is picking up on and learn from those insights.

4. Recognize that even though you may feel like running for the door—adjust your vibration to one that nourishes your soul. Seek to be balanced and grounded so you will know what is right for you.

5. When you get a chance, do a deep dive to identify the roots and boulders of the issue to help you heal. Is it tied to a past experience? A fear of not belonging? Identifying those ‘emotional roots and boulders’ can help you release and heal what’s going on beneath the surface.

If you're ready to clear the misunderstandings between you and the energy around you, see the dose of enlightenment below.

With love,

Jeri

Since we promised to treat you to an extra dose of light in your inbox, we include a Dose of Enlightenment for you at the end of each newsletter. We value your agency, so it’s up to you whether or not you receive it!

This Dose of Enlightenment is a frequency equation meant to clear a hidden and trapped emotion that you’ve been holding onto. 

If today's emotion is one that we have already cleared, know that we are addressing a different layer or situation this time. 

*******************************************************

Today’s emotion is: misunderstanding self, others or life

How does this emotion apply to you? For best results, ponder this question and identify how misunderstanding self, others or life applies to you.

Dose of Enlightenment: 130 + 870 = E

Say it out loud with intent: "one-thirty plus eight-seventy equals enlightenment.”

Breathe. Let it go. Feel the shift. Allow your body to be filled with light.
