First I want to apologize for not writing anything about our Easter weekend at the beach as I had promised. I’m still trying to get my thoughts around it. Not because there were any issues with the family’s that went, in fact that was great, but with my own issues around my own family. I have a 21 year old daughter, a 15 year old son and a 5 year old daughter, so needless to say, I was hoping for a glorious family “thing”, and instead I got cranky kids and a husband who wasn’t really in it…so I write about that more later when I’m not feeling so frustrated about it and can truly get the lesson in it. So I’m going to move onto the next lesson that I am getting and am also still trying to figure out.
So here’s my thing recently, I have noticed some major changes in my life, in my self over the past couple of weeks. It’s the everyday miracles that I have begun to notice the most intensely. When I am alone I can sense the littlest things in my life and how amazing it all seems. The problem I am having isn’t with meditation or mindfulness when I am alone. Noticing the flowers, the birds chirping in the trees (at 2am in the morning) seems so amazing.
O.K., the predicament I seem to be in at this moment seems to be that when I am surrounded by family and friends, and how caught up in their negativity they seem to be, I can seem to control my empathic abilities. I begin to feel the negative energy consume me. I have meditated on this today, and I began to sob for an hour. I know I cannot change them. I read Echkarte Tolle’s book last week about A New Earth, and I can’t believe how it resonated with me, I saw myself in every page. But how do I block the negativity of being an empathic person. How to I stop the absorption of this toxic substance from each person I seem to share my life with.
I will continue to meditate on this until I can find some resolution. I look at the photos like the one I posted and brings me back to a moment when I was oblivious to it all. Awwhh,,,the old days….
Warm wishes and loved filled blessings to everyone. and a wish for all my friends and family that I may consciously give each of you a drop of freshness and light and love into each of your beings to help you in your change, in your growth and your paths to enlightment.
Namaste
