Each of us arrives into this lifetime perfectly.

We arrive into the perfect time and perfect place, exactly as we have chosen in our life-between-lives, so that we will be perfectly positioned to meet everyone in our soul circle.

Some in our soul circle are family.
Some are friends, lovers, colleagues.
Even the so-called random helpers we meet on a whim are in our soul circle.

You have karma with every person you meet.
You’ll meet every person you’re destined to.

Your soul circle supports you always—even those times when you are lonely, or feeling isolated, or feeling like no one could possibly understand.

Even those you might never meet in person—such as all the people reading this blog right now, or all the people who will listen to the radio show today—we’re all in a soul circle, too. 
We’re kindred spirits, working on our soul growth together.
It is good to remember we are all supporting each other.

Part of being a sensitive, awakened person is that we want to help others.

This is only natural—as souls, our purpose is to help other souls.

Yet, sometimes we come to a place where we mistakenly think that helping others is more important than helping ourselves.

“I just want to help,” is a phrase I commonly hear people say, when they discover their gifts in healing, intuition and spirituality.

Again, it’s a natural, correct and generous feeling.
And yet, sometimes, we need to focus on ourselves.

It’s very easy as an intuitive and empath (which all of you are) to see with laser-like focus what’s out of balance in someone else’s life.

We spot the problem immediately, and we want to help, we want to fix, and sometimes we even want to save. But this can become a distraction. 

Sometimes, we become so aware of what’s going on with others, we forget to look at what’s going on with us. 

If you believe that your soul purpose is to help others, you might take a small step back from this view, and check in with yourself. 

Is there anything in your life that needs to balance?
Is there anything going on that needs resolving?
Do you need some healing?
Do you need some rest?

When we take care of ourselves, we become stronger and more whole. And when we lift ourselves, we also lift everyone.

If you've ever experienced a romantic relationship, you know: 

Some are good.
Some are...not so good.
Relationships are a mixed bag. 
Romance is not always all that. 

Yet there can be this sense of dread that creeps in, if you aren’t currently lock-step with the cultural expectation for full-on hand-fasted happiness, every day, till death do us part. 

What society tells us is:

We’re supposed to be in love.
We’re supposed to be romantic.
We’re supposed to be committed.
We’re supposed to be twin-flamed.

But none of this is real.
It’s just a made-up story.
It's society's story. 
It doesn't have to be ours. 

On any given day—some of us will be with our Beloved, some of us will be estranged, some of us will be with friends or family, some of us will be alone.

There is no one way.

If you are not fitting into society's story of what romance should be, there isn't anything wrong with you. 

It's the story that's the falsehood. 
Stop repeating it to yourself. 

When you head into a crowd of people, do you tend to separate?

If you’re empathic, like so many of you are, you may feel the need to use protection—to surround yourself with Light, to wear a protective shield, to use a psychic-cloaking device.

But things are changing.
And what you might be feeling lately, is that you can be more open.
You can connect more.
You can feel part of.

As more and more souls become conscious, we’re going to feel an increase in our connection-at-all-times-with-everyone.

We’re trending toward less us-vs.-them, and more simply us.

It can be interesting to notice how you feel now, when you are out and about.

Not how you used to feel.
But how you actually feel today, as part of collective soul.

A lot of times, as sensitives, we like to withdraw from the world.

We go internal. 
We introvert.
We isolate.
We retreat.

The energy of the world can feel overwhelming! 
It can be great to nestle into our favorite spaces and do quiet internal things! 

Yet we have been doing this for a while, haven't we?

Sometimes, going quiet or internal is a way of distracting ourselves from the true reality that it’s time to make some changes in our life.

Especially as we emerge from the pandemic, we may find that we have become not just comforted by our quiet pursuits—but stuck in them.

The idea is not to change your personality—it is a true gift to be sensitive!
The bigger question is if our internal ways are serving us—or not.

If you’ve been hiding out for a while, and are struggling to come back into the world, you might meditate on these four questions:
​
• What’s working in my life?
• What’s not working?
• What’s trying to change?
• What must change?

And see what shows up for you.
