![]() An empaths childhood You were often told as a child that you were too sensitive! You were sensitive to the news, stories, and events that adults didn't feel affected by. You deeply wanted to fix things that make the world a better place for all, It would affect you by feeling it in your body and you would easily cry. You were often bullied because you cried so easily. Often feeling physically sick or depressed especially when you felt unheard when you tried to express your concerns and even solutions. You are amazing at creative ideas and solutions. You were told not to worry and that you are too much in your head This caused you to begin to doubt your intuition, not trust what you were feeling and you started to believe that you were too sensitive. This is how we began to doubt our abilities to feel and know what is true. We were told to toughen up, or don't worry about things that are happening in the world. As a child, this is so difficult because in our purest form we care so deeply and want to fix the world but just didn't have the capability to know how to do it. When we became old enough, we just didn't know that we had the capability to change things. Over time many empaths began to numb out their sensitivity by keeping background noise on all the time like music or TV, eating too much, drinking too much, shopping too much or anything that would keep them busy to not feel. At some point, an empath will come back to the realization of who they really are but often is through the dark night of the soul or some major event that wakes them up. This year 2020 is helping us to remember that we are sensitive and caring people. It gave us time to pause, it gave us time to feel, it gave us time to see what is not working in the world and can't be ignored anymore. It is time to remember this is who we are as an empath we feel deeply and care about others. There is nothing wrong with being sensitive and that gives you great power to change things in the world and to heal yourself because you allow yourself to feel. Book a discovery call if you would like to learn more about being an empath, understand how to work through the emotions and being sensitive. https:/empoweredintention.com https:/ SWATinstitute-samantha.com https://samantha-vidal.10to8.com Much Love, Samantha Vidal💖 ![]() Why is it so important to be grounded in your own body? How do you know when you are not in your own body? If you often feel lightheaded, or foggy then you most probably are not grounded fully in your body. Now this can get a bit confusing and you may think that you are not well which is a possibility too but using some grounding tools will help you discover which one is present. The reason it can be confusing is because sometime when we are not well we will leave our body just enough to not feel the pain. This can be from emotional and physical trauma too. Here are few reasons we can become ungrounded: Meditation: If we spent time in our upper chakras and/or traveled during our meditation and we did not give ourselves a few minutes to ground before we get up and out of the meditation Past lives: Being still connected to past lives can keep us feeling floatie Stress, trauma and Illness: When we are feeling uncomfortable or in pain we will leave our bodies for protection and often even after the event is over with we still have not full connected and grounded into our bodies. Dreaming: Often our spirit will astral travel during sleep and travel throughout earth or other planes or dimensions. When the spirit returns it may not be fully grounded, this sometimes can happen if you wake suddenly. If you have ever dreamt of falling downstairs or flying then you probably have traveled. Sometime your body will jump with the re-entrance of your spirit. Some of the symptoms of being ungrounded are:
If you have experienced any of these then you need to get grounded. In general, it is good practice to ground daily anyway but here are a few options you can do: Grounding Tools:
Try any of these the next time you are feeling ungrounded. These are great tools to have when you are going through stressful times to help you think clearer. Much love, Samantha Vidal The energies at this time can feel quite intense with all the anxiety people are feeling. Being an empath being super sensitive to those energies it is important to release yourself and the others energetically.
One of the ways you can do this is to cut cords of attachment. We create energtic cords with anyone we have a connection to which can occur in several ways; meeting people, talking to people, thinking about people or them thinking about us or that person who cuts you off while driving. Not all cords are bad however, good or not they are draining to an empath. The biggest thing is to be aware that this happens everyday and cutting the cords with everyone is healthy for you and for them. There are a couple of ways that you can do this, but first you want to call in your healing, guiding and protection spirit teams in to assist you and that would be whoever you tend to work with but many ask for the assistance of Archangel Michael because he is a great protector and will assist you with his golden sword. Imagining Archangel Michael sword cutting all cords of attachment that you have had with people. You can also imagine a giant pair of golden scissors. When you have cut the cords as for all energy to be return to who it belongs to and transmute all energies to love. Our intention is only of love and light and wanting the best for all concerned even if you may have had a negative experience with them. This is the only way to be fully released from each other. I strongly suggest doing this daily right now to release anything that has come up and if you do watch the news please do this right after so that you do not take on that energy. The benefits of doing this daily will help your from taking on any ailments, we all have our weak spots in our bodies that are tells, when we are out of balance and we can become fatigued when we don't look after ourselves. When we take care of us we have the strength to help others. Much love, Samantha Get your e-book on to protect & clear your energy here http://eepurl.com/gXCUIj ![]() These times are certainly interesting. I have been feeling as if something was coming for months now. I felt a sense of urgency to get things done and clean up any unfinished business. When things started to slow down, I felt such a sense of calm. I know many of you are not feeling that way right now and fear is the emotion that is showing up. Here is something so important right now, we need to be diligent with our vibration. While these times are uncertain, the one thing you can be certain about is what you focus on increases. Be very protective of your focus and your vibration at this moment in time. It is also, so important to protect and clear your energy so that you do not take on the energies of the world, especially if you are an empath and/or a lightworker. Take advantage of the time at home to create a sacred space where you nurture yourself. Doing this will give you the strength to deal with the energies of the planet. As empaths/ light-workers we are being called to help lift the vibration to help awaken the collective by sending love, healing, kind words and many other ways that we can help. We can shift things in a huge way when we do things together and raise our vibration and help others to raise theirs with loving, healing energy. All it takes is 51% to make a tipping point in a positive direction. Here are some self-care tips to help you during this time to keep you feeling uplifted: DO...Raise your vibe: (These boost your vibration and your immune system)
Don't ...Lower your vibe (Some of these things can be entertaining but if they are creating fear or an adrenal rush this will deplete your energy stamina and lower your vibration and your immune system)
When we take care of ourselves we keep our cup full so that we have the stamina to help others and we also show them that if they do the same they will be able to have the energy to feel good and help too.

What seemed to be the theme or lessons that came up for growth. What were the things you loved, what would you have loved more of and what would you have loved to change. Taking this time to reflect helps you to get clear on things you want moving forward into 2020. What is your vision for your life? What are your dreams? What do you want to release and not bring into the new year? My reflection on the decade: The last decade has had huge growth for me, although it started a little earlier for me at the end of 2008, I sold my home, moved into a new home, 6 months later a house fire everyone was safe, 4 months after that we move back into our home. The growth and repercussions from that time took me almost 7 years to get myself grounded again and clean up loose ends. My lesson in that was not allowing myself to get the right help to move me through it, had I not been filled with shame and pride, I could have moved through this in 6-12 months. When I began to ask for help and released my belief of being a burden on people, life changed. It was not overnight but each layer began to lift and slowly but surely, life got better. I made it to the other side. In 2011, I began to awaken, I could feel the world was shifting and so was I. In 2012, the Mayan calendar ended and we knew that life as we know it would be changed, many other people began their awakening process during this time. 2013, 2014-my favourite uncle passed and I shifted again. My intuitiveness became stronger, I had a full conversation with my uncle and I could see him sitting on this beautiful sofa with my great uncle having a great time, I knew all would be alright. 2015, I was having a tough time in my marriage and my daughter was having difficulty with school, I created my Facebook group to shift my energy. I could feel things beginning to crumble so I needed to do something to lift my vibration. Fall of 2015, I had a visitation from Goddess Kali, the night before I was heading to a retreat. She was here to tell me that major shifts were on their way, beginnings and endings. In 2016, I began to build my website, I was in the flow and felt good. I had another retreat I was attending when I got a call that my mom was not in doing well but then she was released from the hospital very quickly. I spoke to her and my husband and daughter each had a conversation on different days, not knowingly but we all got to say our goodbyes and I love you's before she passed unexpectedly. This period took me into many dark nights of the soul, I am an only child and felt very alone through this process. Those who I expected to be supported by were not and those I never expected we there keeping me afloat. There were days that I just did not think I would be on this earth. I began to pray, to be shown how, I began to go through my home with sage and prayed for positive, loving, respectful, compassionate communication from all. I began to think if I am feeling this way, who else is feeling this way, I began to call in help to help heal my neighbourhood, and then expand that into the world. I blessed the mailbox so that everyone who came into contact with the mailbox and any mail would feel loved and that love would become contagious. In 2017, I began to complete any unfinished business left over from 2009 and began studying, completed unfinished courses, listening to inspiring people, meditating, anything to become more knowledgeable, raise my vibration, connect to my mission of being a lightworker. in 2018, my dedication was to complete my course and in 2019, I graduated. 2019 has been very good to me and I know 2020 will be even better. I am taking into 2020, asking for help when needed. Choosing how I want to feel, setting intentions daily, creating a life of love and high Vibration and teaching others to do the same. I am releasing all the decades behind me and welcoming in 2020 with open arms. Happy New Year! Much love, Samantha What I am learning from my dreams is that they are making it really clear that my thoughts and words are very strong and that I need to be aware of them. I need to clear the energies of my thoughts from any space or room that has left an energetic imprint. If I don't do this those rooms that had that energy will bring me back to that way of thinking again as well as anyone else who steps into that space. If the energy of that room has had high vibrational energy then no need to clear it. This energy becomes imprinted in the spaces. This is also true if I am being creative and I am not yet ready to share my project with anyone, then I need to clear the space so that this energy is not picked up and becomes someone else's project that they very innocently then think it is their idea.
One of the things I do when I want to get creative and clear old thought patterns especially if I have company and want the creativity to flow is I will wash my walls. I do this very quickly with a sponge mop and some light soap, this action shifts my energy while doing this as well. I repeat the mantra of ... I am releasing all that no longer belongs here for the highest good. If you think of how this shows up in our daily lives through your drive to and from work. This also shows up on the roads and highways of the energy of the people and their vehicles project and each person who drives on those same roads and now pick up that energy and their vehicle does too. Because the roads are usually driven in the same direction daily their becomes a constant energetic pattern. Even when there is zero traffic those roads still have that whoosh feel to them. When the energy has been stopped by the construction either fully or by shifting or shutting down lanes or the sides of the road they have now created some new energy. Be aware of how you are feeling when you are driving and change your energy by sending out love, put on some high vibration music, put a protective bubble of white light around you and your car, ask for your travelling angels and guides to help. When I am needing to shift my energy while driving I ask for a bubble of 5 ft all around me and my vehicle to keep people away for protection. I also ask that I and everyone who is travelling today in any mode of transportation be safe and have a pleasant day. This shifts me and my autopilot mind. Just be aware of residual energy that you or others leave behind in your daily life so that you can shift it if you need to. |
