Being empathic is the ability to sense energy around you.
Now this can be spiritual energy,
So this could be a loved one or a person that has crossed over and transitioned to the other side,
Or this can be residual energy.
But being empathic falls into the sixth sense.
Some of you may have heard this before,
But being empathic is the same thing as clair sentience.
Personally,
And this is just my personal opinion throughout my experiences,
If I was to put the clairs,
So clairvoyance,
Clairaudience,
Clair sentience,
Claircognizance,
Those are all within the sixth sense,
I really feel like clair sentience is something that we all recognize to some degree.
I think that it's more acceptable for people to just call it being empathic rather than clair sentience,
But it really is the same thing.
Some of us are more sensitive than others.
It's going to require you to find someone.
It can be anybody that you are comfortable with and then they are open to helping you.
They can practice right along with you.
I'm gonna give you the rules and how to play and and how it works,
But the idea is that you start to understand the different forms of energy so that you can start to understand it on a day-to-day basis.
Then we're going to talk about tools and different things that that you can use in your everyday life to kind of learn how to have this ability be very sensitive,
Very empathic,
And make it a superpower instead of something that is almost like a double-edged sword.
There are so many people out there that just talk about how they're empathic and they're drained or they're this or they're that and and that is a part of it,
But the other part of it going in a positive direction is learning how to work with it.
There is a difference between residual energy and spiritual energy.
Residual energy is the energy that is left over from an experience,
From an event,
And it can also be the energy that is left from an object.
Then there's spiritual energy and obviously that's people that are coming through and they may or may not have messages.
It's really important that you do this physical activity so that you can understand the difference.
So if you're having trouble finding a partner in order to do this portion,
Please let me know.
So what you're gonna want to do for the very first activity is once you've selected a partner to play with,
Your partner is going to have to find a box and it can be any type of box.
It can be a sentimental box,
It could be a shoe box that has stuff in it,
It could be an Amazon box,
Like a shipping box,
It could be anything,
But they will have to know what was in that box.
You cannot know what is in the box.
So we're gonna have our partner,
We're gonna call them person number one,
And you as the student we're gonna call them person number two.
Once person number one has chosen the item and box,
You guys will sit kind of in front of each other side by side,
Whatever.
Person number two,
The student,
Is going to take the box closed,
Not looking in it,
Not shaking it.
I mean you can,
But it's gonna throw you off if you do.
So you just take the box,
Put in your hands,
Close your eyes.
Now the rule of thumb when we're picking up on residual energy and one of the most important things to remember is that we are not using our logic during this process.
It is quite literally the first feeling,
The first thought,
The first visual appearance,
The first anything that comes to mind when you pick up this box.
It can be a feeling.
You can pick up a box and it can be a feeling of love,
It could be a feeling of sadness,
It could be a feeling of any type of emotion.
You can pick up a box and you can see colors,
You could see items,
You could see words,
You could feel warmth or cold.
There's literally no limit to how or what you may feel and sense when you pick up this item.
Person number two,
The student,
Closes their eyes,
Puts the box in their hands,
And the first thing that comes to mind and that's it,
You write it down.
And the one thing is,
Like the one thing to remember is like nobody ever gets this wrong,
Alright?
Nobody ever gets this wrong.
A lot of people will have a fear that they're put on the spot and they have,
They want to be right,
Everybody wants to be right,
But please remember nobody ever gets these wrong when we play these games.
During class I handed out a box that throughout the years has held many different items in it and I knew what the box held prior to it becoming mine and holding my items in it.
We passed it around the room.
We got anything from the emotion of love,
From the feeling of wealth,
We got a sensation of it being heavy.
There were people that picked up colors like black and red.
There were so many different things that people felt and saw and sensed when they held this box.
Once the box was passed around,
Everybody gave their answer and the box is a box that I hold every deck of cards that I've ever made starting with the very first deck that I ever started using when I was 12 years old.
It is very heavy.
The colors of my cards are always black and red because they're based off of the playing cards.
They are all made with love.
They have brought me great success.
So everybody picked up on that energy of what was in the box,
The residual energy,
In different ways.
Activity number two is gonna be just a little different.
What you're gonna do is you're gonna have person number one,
Your partner,
Place something or some,
It could be one thing,
It could be a couple of things.
You're gonna have them place some items or an item in the box without person number two or the student knowing.
It is important not to necessarily shake the box because again it's going to kind of start that logic thought process and we're not working with the left side of the brain right now.
We're trying to strengthen the right side of the brain.
And you're going to repeat the same process where person number one,
The partner,
Hands the box to person number two,
The student,
And you close your eyes and you put the box in your hand and it's the first thought,
Feeling,
Sensation,
Emotion,
What-have-you that you get.
In class when we did this,
I placed a collar from one of my dogs that had passed away.
Some of the answers were again love.
There were two people that got,
One person got a fork,
One person got a spoon,
One person got a towel or a blanket,
Somebody got the color brown,
And so on and so forth.
All of which were relevant to the item that was in the box.
My dog was brown.
I obviously loved him very much.
He had his own very special blanket.
When the people that got the fork in the spoon,
Now this kind of brought people to a different level of thinking.
The collar is kept in,
It's a cloth collar and there is a little bit of metal on it,
But it is kept in a tin.
And when they got the fork in the spoon,
That was their way of comprehending some type of metal was associated.
Whether it be tin or the metal that was on the collar,
It could have been either or.
But the idea of doing this exercise is to start to understand the language of the unseen and the language of the unspoken.
And it can happen in many different ways.
So when you do this this first residual energy and item energy activity,
It's really important to kind of go into this with an open mind and try to connect the dots.
Because I guarantee you,
You will not be wrong.
But it is about understanding your symbols that you receive,
How you receive them and what they mean and how they connect.
For the last activity,
This is about communicating with people with spirit on the other side.
It is best to sit in a quiet place.
Now this can be done over the phone.
This does not have to be done in person.
Same idea,
You're just going to close your eyes and the first feeling sensation,
Visualization or anything that you may see,
Hear or feel is going to be what you say.
I'm going to give you an example.
During class,
I sat with a student.
She said,
I feel a heaviness in my chest,
In my heart.
I said,
Okay.
Once you get one portion,
Once you get one feeling,
One sensation,
You're going to close your eyes again and you're going to go back for more.
She said,
I can't shake the heaviness that I feel in my chest.
So I said to her,
Okay.
I believe I know who you're talking about,
But I need a little bit more.
So she closed her eyes again.
She goes,
I see a pickup truck and a beer can.
I said,
Okay.
I'm gonna need a little bit more than that.
So she closed her eyes again.
When she opened her eyes and on the third time when she went back,
She said,
Wild and crazy hair.
And I knew who it was.
The heaviness in the chest is usually a sensation and a connection of how someone passed or an illness that they might have dealt with for a long period of time.
The pickup truck and the beer can was relevant to a specific experience between myself and a really good friend of mine.
And the crazy hair distinguished precisely who this person was for me.
And I will tell you this,
You will not know and you will not resonate with the information that you are receiving because it is not yours to receive.
Your job in this practice,
In this activity is only to relay.
It is their message.
It is what they will resonate with.
So those are your three activities and it's just gonna help you like I said start to understand how you feel and sense energy around you.
And it will absolutely help you decipher something between a leftover energy and energy of an item or an environment versus the energy of a person that might be around you that has crossed over.
When you talk about smudging to 99% of the population,
If they know what it is,
They know that it is white sage.
But I have heard and seen and and heard through other people that there are people out there telling you that sage will get rid of spirit.
It will not because quite frankly I don't know where they're going to go.
Sage does not get rid of spirit.
What sage does is it it balances out residual energy,
So leftover energy.
If you walk into a room right after somebody had an argument you're going to feel the thickness in the air from that argument.
You're gonna feel the leftover energy from something that just happened.
If you were to sage in that particular situation it's going to clear all of that out and you are going to feel better.
That's what sage does.
It gets rid of residual leftover energy and it neutralizes it back to zero.
Now it will also at some time to some degree put up a barrier between you and the spirit world.
Meaning that if you're experiencing activity and maybe you're not a fan of it and you don't want to indulge in it in any way,
You can sage and it's going to create a little bit of a thicker barrier,
A thicker veil.
Sometimes if it's your loved ones and they're persistent it's not going to do a damn thing because it does not get rid of spirit.
There are people out there that will tell you to open a window to let spirit out.
Well I really don't know why you have to open a window when they are not tangible and do not live in the same vibrational frequency that we do because walls and windows do not matter to them.
Saging neutralizes residual energy and puts up a little bit of a barrier for the spiritual energy around us.
It does it for us.
It doesn't do anything to them.
Spirit does not get pissed off when we sage.
They could really care less to be quite honest with you.
But when you sage the general rule of thumb and traditional rule is that you start at the lowest level of the house and go around each room in a counterclockwise direction getting all reflective surfaces,
TVs,
Mirrors,
Windows,
Glass,
As much as you can.
And you do that in each room until every room has been smudged.
It is also really important unless you are at a point where your vibrational frequency,
You as a person,
Your thought process,
The energy that you hold,
If that's not at its best it is important not to blow the smoke with your breath because you're defeating the purpose of the energy that the smoke holds.
So this is why traditionally people will use feathers or you can use your hand or you can wave it around until you get to a place where you feel like your thought process is vibrating at the highest frequency and your energy is as high as possible.
It is best practice to just use a feather or fan it around with your hand or in a shell or whatever.
Once you sage you can layer on top of this to make it last a little bit longer.
You do this by taking regular cheap cheap Walmart Target table salt and you just sprinkle it all over the place.
It doesn't matter when you're sprinkling salt if you go clockwise,
Counterclockwise,
It doesn't matter.
Just a little bit all over the house.
What salt does is it absorbs negative energy so the sage is going to neutralize it and you're going to salt just a little bit so that anything that might come in thereafter is going to be absorbed by the salt.
People ask me well do you vacuum it up?
Well yeah but my process is I'll clean my house,
I'll dust,
I'll vacuum,
I'll sage,
Then I'll salt and I leave it there until I do that process again.
Now another thing that you can do and I have done before in the past I am not currently doing this right now but you can go out and buy a bag of lemons and what you do is you use the lemons as a notification really it's like an indicator.
We get caught up in work and life and family and this and that the third and retrograde and everything else that we deal with that sometimes it might take us a week two weeks to realize that the energy in our home is off.
So if you go out and buy a bag of lemons once you sage and once you salt take one lemon and place it in each room anywhere.
It doesn't matter it could be seen it could be not seen it doesn't matter and what will happen is when it gets time for you to sage and the energy starts to get lower and lower and lower that lemon is going to start to get black spots perhaps get moldy you're going to see it kind of go bad.
So I'm gonna give you an example of this I would sage and then I would salt and then I would place lemons everywhere well in high traffic areas where I would do events or I would have readings I would have people in there all the time and I'm not sageing and I'm not salting frequently my lemons would go bad within a couple of weeks.
I would start to get little black spots or it would get moldy or smushy or whatever so I'd have to redo it again.
In my room that I read in where I frequently will sage I will frequently cleanse I had a lemon that lasted six seven months before it started to turn and what's gonna happen is it's gonna go I mean it's gonna get a little bit darker in color it's going to kind of shrivel just a little bit but it won't go bad.
That's just I mean do you have to do this?
Not really but with everything that's going on in life sometimes it's nice to have a little notification and quite frankly there's not really an app for that right now so putting a lemon in every room is a good idea to kind of just check on okay this room's good this room's good okay this room's off and then we can stay up on it.
That's just a tool it's a technique you can try it if you want to if you don't then don't it doesn't matter these are just tools and techniques to help you out.
There are other things that you can do to kind of place yourself in a little bit of a bubble so we're not gonna go and sage our workplaces for those of you that might work in places outside of the home so what do you do when you're like at the store or what do you do when you are at work or what do you do when you're in an environment that you don't have a whole hell of a lot of control over the energy?
Some people will just avoid it oh I'm not gonna go to that party or I'm not gonna go to that restaurant or that bar that this that or the third I want to avoid the energy I don't like crowds.
There is a crystal called a hematite.
The hematite is a black sometimes magnetic sometimes non magnetic crystal.
I will usually recommend the bracelet for one reason and one reason only.
Our left side of the body our left hand our left foot that is the side that we absorb the energy around us from.
Our right side our right hand or right foot that's the side that we kind of project it from.
So you will often hear me talk about hematite bracelets being worn on the left hand.
Well the hematite bracelet has a couple of jobs.
It is good for grounding so you don't want to wear it when you're meditating.
You don't want to wear it when you're playing this activity.
You don't want to wear it when you are looking to astral travel or have a visitation from a dream.
The job of the hematite is to absorb energy and crystals only work when they touch the skin.
They only affect our aura when they touch our skin.
So if we're wearing a hematite bracelet on our left hand it is connecting its energy to our energy.
It is acting as a barrier and absorbing the energy unwanted energy that we don't want and it's also keeping us grounded.
So it is a great tool to carry and have especially for those that are very sensitive and empathic when they don't want to pick up on the energy around them or from people or whatever.
The one thing about a hematite is when it absorbs too much energy because that's its job it's going to break or you will lose it or it will fall off and you'll lose it or something it will go away and will no longer be accessible to you for you to use.
They don't break as often as some people might think they do.
Sometimes they last six months,
Sometimes they last three months.
If you are using the hematite and it's breaking and it's becoming costly there are other combinations of crystals that you can use that work just as good but the hematite is by far my number one go-to.
I hope that you guys enjoyed this lesson.
I hope that it's beneficial.
