<description><![CDATA[This book is filled with some of the most profound statements and insights of any book I have read regarding the limitations we place upon ourselves. The book opens with a new interpretation of what the story of Garden of Eden really implies. Carl's take on this is right on and makes complete sense that the alleged serpent is actually our ego, which deceives us with endless mind chatter that keeps us from knowing we are gods.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Empaths are loving, caring, kind people who want to help others. They are often found doing volunteer work and may serve others through emotionally-demanding careers as childcare givers, medical professionals, hospice workers, midwives, and such. Most empaths came in with a mission to heal people, animals, plants, and the planet. As healers, many have taken on so much external energy that they spend most of their time trying to clear unwanted energy and recuperate from the last episode that "blew their doors off."]]></description>

<title>What Is the Difference Between Empathy and Intuition?</title>

<pubDate>Wed, 20 Jul 2011 14:40:12 -0500</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[Intuition is the collective body of our internal guidance system, which goes far beyond common sense and includes telepathy, pre-cognizance, clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, or having a "knowing" sense. Empathy is part of this sixth sense guidance system. Being empathic allows us to pick up information with the five commonly accepted senses: sight, hearing, smelling, tasting, and feeling to bring a message about others or help them ease their burdens by carrying the emotion or pain for them.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Many a writer aspires to be a published author-by any method whether self-publishing or being accepted by one of the "big six publishing houses," such as Hachette Book Group, HarperCollins, Macmillan, Penguin Group, Random House, or Simon & Schuster, or one of their imprints (subsidiaries). What most new authors don't realize is that once a book is published, it requires a lot of time, effort, and money to market it.

<title>Being Non-Resistant Means Never Having to Say You're Sorry</title>

<pubDate>Wed, 29 Jun 2011 15:01:17 -0500</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[I remember the line from Erich Segal's Love Story: "Love means never having to say you're sorry." That's true because love never perceives itself as being wronged. If you never perceive attack, you will have no need to forgive, defend, retaliate, or feel sorry for yourself. What a freeing way to live! This is the embodiment of the often misunderstood feat of "turning the other cheek." We've often thought that phrase meant that it is honorable to let people walk all over us.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Empathy is what makes other people matter to us and reminds us to acknowledge the people around us as we understand and share their feelings. Empathy exists in early mother-infant bonding. Even before birth, a baby in the womb is sensitive to the mother's feelings, whether positive, neutral, or negative. Once born, a baby shows receptivity to both parents' anger, tension, and depression, as well as their caring, responsiveness, and love. You've probably noticed how they imitate your facial expressions, smiling in response to your smile. They also may cry if they hear another baby cry. This type of response is a step in the development of empathy and the ability to share the feelings of another person.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Recognizing that you're an empath is the first step in taking charge of your emotions instead of constantly drowning in them. The most challenging thing about developing and honing empathic abilities is learning to discern what energetic stuff is yours, and what belongs to someone else. Chronic anxiety, depression, or stress wears down our defenses and makes us even more susceptible to the negative energy of others, especially those with similar unresolved emotional issues. In some cases, you may be dealing with a combination of your own stuff and someone else's.]]></description>

It can be a thought form, an energy pattern, or a soul tie (a hook to or an attachment from one or more persons), or an earthbound spirit.

Regardless, of whether others think they are real or imagined, if they bother you, then they exist for you and must be dealt with.]]></description>

<title>Stories From an Empath</title>

<pubDate>Thu, 19 May 2011 14:41:20 -0500</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[Emotions such as fear, anger, and frustration are energies. Like a virus, you can potentially "catch" them from people without realizing it. Empathic people can be psychic sponges that absorb energy everywhere they go. In my twenties and thirties, I was so energy sensitive that if I heard an ambulance siren, I would feel instant panic. If I came upon an accident scene or a homeless person, I cried. If I saw an open wound, I would feel something like an electric shock all over my body. In traffic, I felt the anger and frustration of my fellow drivers so keenly that my throat would close up and I could not swallow. When I was in my prayer closet, I would cry, groan, shake, and travail on behalf of others. These and similar scenarios were so common for me that I thought everyone felt this way. I had no idea that I was an empath. I had never heard of such a thing.]]></description>

It is a form of communication with others, nature, animals, and even higher or spiritual forms of life. We are all born with empathic ability but most of us shut the sensing ability down at some point either because the energy overload causes discomfort or we are taught not to trust our inner guidance.]]></description>
