Keep yourself in a calm oasis


When we develop, sounds and colours become more important to us.    What does this mean?  It means we are growing and learning and advancing so that is a good thing.

But, when we start to notice these things, it is a bit like suddenly seeing the dust in the corner - if it's your home you can clean the dust away, but if it is someone elses home you can't, can you?

I know now why I am drawn to certain colours at this stage in my development, and I have control over the sounds in my home but it can be very noisy in the workplace, and I can't control that.  But, I can pray for the negative people and I can keep my own work space calm and serene and so can you.

In order to deal with any chaotic forces around you, place yourself in a bubble of protective light each morning.  Then you can watch the pantomime going on around you and stay serene and calm in your bubble oasis.  Send out light and love to the people hurtling around you and hope that sometimes they pause long enough to absorb it.

Namaste!

Sensitivity


"You're too sensitive"
"You can't save the whole world"
"They just think differently to you"

How often have we heard these things, those of us who are sensitive?

Being sensitive is not a bad thing, providing we don't let it drag us down too far and upset us too much.  Use your protective white light, golden bubble or whatever protection you use, but remember that compassion for other people and other creatures is a GOOD thing.

People who are inured to cruelty are not wise.  They have let the world de-sensitize them and that's not good.

Getting upset when we see something cruel is our soul's way of telling us that this thing is wrong.  It should lead us to action of some kind - helping the person or animal or situation whenever we can.  We should not walk by on the other side of the road, but we must also know our limitations.

If you physically can't help, get someone who can, and if there is no-one then immediately give the situation to God.  Talk to the mountain, whatever the mountain is, and give the situation to God.  Angels are always available to assist us.

Being kind, being sensitive, being compassionate - these are good things.  But we must not expect other people to feel as we do.  You are an individual and if you are sensitive, it is a blessing.

If you are sensitive to other peoples unkind words, often offered in jest, then avoid these people when you can and when you remember to protect yourself each morning these barbs will not hurt so much and eventually will just flow away from you.  Mentally pray for any unkind people around you.  And remember, you do not have to sit quietly and allow people to verbally bully you - you do have options - pray for guidance on what actions you should take.

Hold your head up: you are a child of God.  He will help you to deal with any situations that may arise. 

You are NOT alone.

Why am I different?

Roses among the thorns

"Why am I different?"
I heard a child ask
"Why can't I be like my friends?"
"Why do I see things that they can't see?"
"Why can't they hear what I hear?"

"It's because you're special"
I heard the mother say
"You are special and sensitive dear, and that's why you see things that others can't see
And that's why, when they don't, you hear"
"But why can't I be like the others?"
The child asked
Her eyes filled with tears and she cried

"You are blessed with more feeling
You are blessed with more sight
And sometimes you are blessed, my dear child, from above
You are special, my child, and your heart is filled up
With more love"

I just had to help her and so I said
"Remember, dear child, when days feel dark
That people don't like us sometimes, when we are different
But don't be upset
You will learn to adjust and adapt"

"Don't ever regret that you are different, dear child
And when you are older you will find
These gifts are so helpful
If you use them with love
And as you grow older and wiser
You really will be pleased, so pleased with these gifts from above"

The child and the mother smiled at me
And we walked around the lake together
Because we knew that, although we are different
We are not alone.
