It is all sacred. The rise and the fall. To see the beauty in both, will set you free. ~channeled by Janelle~ What do I fear most about changing? You fear losing what you know, who you know and who you love. There is a deep fear around being alone if you change. Who will still be there by your side? All along you’ve been doing things, saying things and acting in ways to retain their love and approval. Or, so you would believe. If you release all of that... the charade, the masks, the act you've been putting on then what is left? There you will stand in pure vulnerability, not knowing who will continue to stand beside you. I need you to know you will never be alone. I will always be with you. I will walk beside you as you release all this nonsense about how you should show up to others and for others. I’ve only wanted you to show up as you. ~channeled by Janelle~ A snow globe shaken... the sadness settles. The dark cloud, it disperses. Enter the CALM, the QUIET and CLEAR. I know all too well the globe will Be shaken AGAIN. Frenzied Flurries Chaotic Feelings Confusion Sadness They will all fly again and They will all settle again. I will notice the shake, I will watch the flurry but I will be careful to not get lost in it. I will know I am not what is happening around or even within me. I am the observer. ~channeled by Janelle~ No more: “am I being good?” “am I being bad?” “What will people think?” Just be you. No more: Questioning yourself Judging yourself Doubting yourself Just be confident in you. Listen to me when I say, no one can be YOU any better than you. It is your job to be you. That’s why you are here... to experience life as yourself. Yet here you are trying to push yourself down, trying to be who they want you to be, trying to be who you think you should be. Trying to fulfill an image of you, instead of being you. The gloriousness of YOU is you, my dear. Let us all revel in you and learn from your example. ~channeled by Janelle~ Canticle of Light by Ashana and Thomas Barquee
Prepare to be transported to another place and time. You are a multidimensional being. This is why choosing a one word descriptor for yourself feels like it falls short. (eg. I am a counselor. I am a teacher. I am a mother. I am a writer.) Deep down you know there is so much more to you and you are right. Who you are is expansive and boundless. There is no end. There are no limits to you or to others. To express in this world as completely limitless or boundless would feel confusing and foreign to you and to those around you. The human brain craves categories, labels and putting you all into boxes. And so yes, we acknowledge your humanness and your natural instinct to put yourselves into boxes. Yet, I need you to know you are much more than the boxes and titles you use to categorize yourselves. I don’t work within a box or category framework. I can see and manage all. I can see and sense all of you. “I am” NOT “I am ___________.” “I am ________” is more limiting and restrictive. “I am” is much more expansive and open. It is all and everything. This is the direction you are heading in your growth and evolution. Your practice will be to bring awareness to the places you limit yourself and others in boxes and labels. ~channeled by Janelle~ Are you grounded?
Written by Janelle Buchheit One of your greatest challenges as an empath will be staying grounded within yourself. Empaths use their ‘energetic feelers’ and feel the feelings of others. This can allow the empath to better understand and help others. Grounding into ourselves can feel like we are stepping away from our service to the world because we sometimes we help best by reading the energy of others. However, empaths cannot be ‘energetically at work’ for others 24/7 and expect to be free of burn-out, illness and resentment. Your self-care, fulfillment and enjoyment of this life is just as important as those you choose to help in this lifetime. When you take care of yourself you will be better able to serve others. When empaths are ungrounded, it can be hard to get focused or maintain focus. Our minds feel scattered and we become easily overwhelmed. We feel lost because we are disconnected from ourselves as our focus has consistently been on another rather than on ourselves. A lot of times we actually neglect our wants and needs to provide for someone else. Our emotions can feel out of control and new feelings can swoop in quickly and hit us hard. A lot of times, our ‘feelers’ are picking up on the emotional discord of those around us and we are left trying to understand why we feel this way. All of these reasons explain why it is so important for empaths to ground themselves. Here are some tips to help you ground yourself, clear your energetic field and connect into you: GROUNDING YOURSELF Ground yourself frequently—at least once a day and several times a day during challenging or emotionally charged times. SPEND TIME ALONE: (without your phone or with phone on airplane mode) If you spent a lot of time engaging with others, either in-person or online, it is a good idea to spend some time alone to be able to connect into and ‘feel’ yourself again. Spending time alone will help you to know ‘what energy is yours’ and ‘what energy is theirs.’ SELF-CARE: Whatever your self-care practice is, increase it. Empaths need a higher-level of self-care than others. Keep a list of your self-care practices and refer to it when you realize you are not grounded. Have a support system that will remind you of your list and will help you get back on track with focusing on you again. SAY: choose the statement that feels the most true or reachable to you -I know how to ground myself / I am becoming more and more grounded / I am grounded -I know how to center myself / am becoming more and more centered / I am centered -I know how to be more present / I am becoming more and more present / I am present CLEAR YOUR ENERGETIC FIELD: -Make it practice to clear your energetic field every day -Imagine a bright light flowing like a waterfall or shower over you and gently washing away the energy of others. -Take a shower and imagine the energy of others being cleared away, wash your face. -If you are out in public, sometimes the best one can do is simply washing their hands and even up your arms. Do so with the intention of clearing energy. -Another way to unload or clear energy is to cry. ASK UNIVERSE FOR ASSISTANCE IN CLEARING YOUR ENERGETIC FIELD: -I ask that you disconnect me from the energy of the collective. (Note: While we are all One and your ‘feelers’ do help you to understand the world and its current predicament, it is not healthy for an empath to be constantly immersed in the flowing feelings of the collective especially when they are feeling ungrounded and/or scattered.) -I ask that you remove any old, stagnant energy from my energetic field that no longer serves me. IMAGINE: -Roots dropping from your root chakra (base of spine) and growing down into the earth. GET OUTSIDE & TAP INTO NATURE: (without your phone or on airplane mode) -Put your bare feet on the grass on on the ground (of course, be careful to not step on anything) -Walk bare foot in the grass -Take a nature walk/hike -Get some vitamin D and feel the sun on your skin (10-15 minutes) -Sit outside and watch the birds, etc. -Care for your plants/garden -Touch a tree (imagine yourself rooted next to it) -Jump into the ocean, a pool or another body of water TAKE A BREAK FROM TECH: -Turn off your devices (phone, computer, television) -Take an intentional break away from devices, social, media and news -If possible, turn phone to airplane mode or do not disturb for chunks of time (I’ll often alert my family that I am doing so in case they are trying to get ahold of me) -Clean and clear an old device to use solely for a timer, clock, camera, meditation music -Get an alarm clock or use an old device so you don’t have to keep phone by your bedside CHECK AND MAINTAIN YOUR BOUNDARIES: -Are you doing something you don’t want to do out of guilt? “No” is a complete sentence. -Are you too much in the business of others? It is not your job to save other people or involve yourself in everyone’s dramas. -Limit exposure to violent or emotionally charged television, movies, news, videos, social media -Limit time spent with emotional vampires or people that drain you of your life-force energy -Limit time spent with challenging family and/or friends EAT and HYDRATE: -Eat regularly and make sure you haven’t missed any of your meals. When ungrounded, it’s more likely you will forget to eat and hydrate properly. -Eat healthy, grounding foods like fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts -Sip slow and savor a soothing cup of herbal tea. DO THINGS THAT ENCOURAGE FLOW AND GET YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND: -Exercise, yoga, walk, etc. -Chop, cook, bake -Play instrument, sing -Listen to music -Create art -Dance CLEAN UP and DE-CLUTTER YOUR PHYSICAL SPACE: -Clean, organize, wash dishes, fold laundry, etc. -Choose a small routine task that you can complete easily. This will help bring ground you back into the here and now and increase feelings of accomplishment. MAKE SPACE FOR SILENT TIME: -Meditate (remember to use an anchor like music or a guided meditation if you’re feeling scattered) -Practice deep breathing -Take quiet time away from it all to tap into you Light of Love by Jai-Jagdeesh I will climb into your ocean, I will sail into your shore, I will breathe in your magnificence, and never ask for more, I will be as I am written, courage on every page, I will carve this life with every breath, a sage to the age, I will turn up the fountain, and fill this world with bliss, I will sing a song of joyful love and merge into your kiss, And I will stumble into beauty, recognizing that it's me, I will open up my heart, and surrender unto thee I am the child, I am the mother I am your bride, and your lover I am everything, great and small I am the one, I am it all I am the child, I am the mother I am your bride, and your lover I am everything, great and small, I am the one, I am it all I Am The Light Of Love I will dive into each moment, because I'll die as I was born I will walk at peace with ease and grace, and float with the unknown I will find the gift in everything, perfection in every way I will bow at the altar, of this and every day I can't promise not to feel some fear, or to always understand But I'll be the change I wish to see, I will hold every hand I am tangled up in beauty, I see clearly that it's me I have opened up my heart, and surrender unto thee I am the child, I am the mother I am your bride, and your lover I am everything, great and small, I am the one, I am it all I am the child, I am the mother I am your bride, and your lover I am everything, great and small, I am the one, I am it all I Am The Light Of Love We think we need to do something spectacular, be special, knock it out of the park. Do something that’s never been done before, change the game, save the world. Let me tell you something. You doing absolutely nothing — purely existing— in this moment is something that has never been done before. You have never been done before. You in this moment will only be done once and never again. Every single moment, every single day you are pure magic, my dear. Stop putting yourself down. Stop second guessing. Stop all of it. This isn’t a contest. Want to knock it out of the park? Exist. You’re done. You’ve done it. You're doing it. And now you are free. To do as you wish. To be and play as you please. To experience your life here with great ease without all the noise of who am I supposed to be? ~channeled by Janelle~ |
