Empathy and Compassion with Healthy Boundaries

The question is how do we move beyond our own ego to show compassion when we have determined new boundaries when a relationship or friendship changes?

Change comes about through our path of personal growth. When we grow beyond the learnt perception of ourselves and therefore become more truly self-aware, we become more conscious of our authentic needs and more sensitive to what is no longer working for us.

These changes affect our friendships and relationships, there is no choice in that matter. What once suited you, no longer feels right or fits who you are.

Personal growth naturally brings about a change in our perception, and is accompanied by a new level of honesty, with ourselves first and foremost. The challenge lies in how to convey this to the other party in a compassionate and kind way. Because change can also make us feel like we are going a tad bit crazy too, and it is not comfortable bringing a new truth to the forefront, especially if the other person is likely to react badly!

The answer lies within the new boundaries that we set for ourselves in relation to another person. We must be compassionate and kind to ourselves first, be easy on ourselves when we feel fed up, angry, tired, or drained by another person, because your new boundaries cause a disruption to the energetic flow.

(Please see my blog titled The Inertia of Energy).

Now, here is the thing, the other person may not have the same conscious awareness that you do. The way they perceive things and receive things, can be by unconsciously acting out to get needs met by others.  (and we all can do this, not one of us is required to be perfect on this journey of life) This “acting out” often comes in the form of showing off, exaggerating things, and talking things up, or playing the victim, emotional manipulation, intimidation, being the bashful hero, or a martyr, passive/aggressive behaviour and the list goes on. 

(All of that is “Lower Third dimensional behaviour” by the way, but that is another blog).

Your new boundaries will be reflected in your change of reaction towards that person’s behaviour. For example, if you were always available to help that person, but now you realise that it is a waste of your time, you may not make yourself so available, or even not at all.

You may have reacted by trying to fix everything, or justifying yourself, defending yourself, and once you stop that, then that causes a change in the frequency of your energetic exchange and will, over time, play out into real life.

If you were drawn into a dynamic where you believed the other person’s lies, only to finally see through them, and you change your reaction, you have also broken the long-term energetic exchange, and this is seldom comfortable.

The key is subtlety – and change of perspective. For example, it is easy once we outgrow a situation to become angry or resentful, however it is important that we look at our new perspective with compassion, for ourselves first, and then when ready to, the other person’s view as well.

Now this can be a big challenge, because as in all life transitions, our own personal issues can also appear from our subconscious to be recognised, accepted, and healed. Self-awareness will help with recognising what has come up for you.

Here is where we move beyond ego and into compassion. To begin this process; we must consciously state that compassion is what we wish to achieve. Your goal is to achieve and maintain a higher state of compassion, awareness, and balance. 

Once we commence this process the rest will take care of itself. If we have expected outcomes, then we may not always get the outcome that our ego thinks is right. However, once we move into and learn to hold within, a true higher level of compassion, not much else really matters, and any expectations, and ego all melt away.  We get to enjoy being, and feeling calm, centered, in the present moment.

Energetic boundaries are a step further and I touch on this subject in my blog titled Feeling Energy and Creating Energetic Boundaries.

Energetic Inertia & Relationships

Inertia is defined as “a property of matter or energy by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion unless that state is changed by an external force” ….

Every interaction, action, and reaction between people over time establishes a dynamic where, for example, one is often dominant over the other. This dynamic creates an energy all its own.  This is the energy that stays set in the background and forms the very basis behind the relationship, and therefore people become so lost and stuck in such relationships. Both the dominant and the submissive become addicted or co-dependent.

“This energy is often mistaken for Soulmate energy, as it is often intense”.

The energy created from a relationship dynamic and the interactions with another person, for instance, will continue that way even after the relationship has ended. For example, if you were with a very manipulative partner and you found yourself trapped into this manipulation, you will have found the relationship in time to end up being extremely toxic, and you also will have found that you lost a large part of yourself in this. 

Recovery from this type of scenario can take a long time, however as more and more of us become aware of the fact that we are all energy, we will all then see when our energy has been diminished or stolen, by another person in order to prop themself up, and so we can all learn how to shorten our recovery time and accelerate our Spiritual and personal growth, to move on to happier things.

The manipulator will feel energised from having controlled you, and even though you may have broken free from them, it is important to understand that you must now consciously begin the healing process to grow beyond, not only this relationship, but to also grow beyond this energetic dynamic and raise your vibration. 

The reason I mention that it must be a conscious effort, is because we must then increase our awareness and our understanding of the pitfalls of that relationship, how you got drawn into it, how your past experiences and upbringing is what created a similar energetic dynamic, and this energy is what attracted you to this person in the first instance.  Also important is how you felt in the first attraction, and how that attraction became a mere illusion. We then must also look for the answers and solutions of how to grow beyond such a dynamic.

This process begins with our own self-awareness, looking at ourselves, to critique ourselves and be very honest with ourselves and our contribution to such a relationship.  Once we identify and then take responsibility for our side of things then we can look at ways of which to grow and change and move to a higher path.

“It is so important to keep bringing conscious awareness back to the self when in healing and growth mode, it is too easy to keep casting our awareness back to the other person, if we keep reverting our awareness back to them, we remain stuck”.

The more sensitive that you are the more you will feel this energy and, unless very aware, it can be very confusing. Your logical mind tells you that you have moved on, yet you still feel drawn back to this person, which makes no sense as you know that the person is not good for you.

This is because the inertia of the energy is still behaving in the same pattern. Like waves on a beach, it withdraws back and then moves forth again trying to make an imprint on your energy.

So, the question is, how do we stop this energy from doing this? The self-awareness tool is the secret to this. You consciously choose to change your reaction to that energy. The energy is attracted to your vibration formed in the old dynamic so therefore being aware and making a conscious choice to do anything other than the way you would have previously reacted, causes a distortion in the energetic flow.

There is not a requirement to be perfect, you need to feel what you need to; however, the secret is your intention to advance your level of consciousness in the bigger picture. Intention is formed by being completely honest with yourself and your willingness to change and grow.

You must also be tenacious and persistent. You have learnt this pattern in your life, and this has now come to conscious awareness through your experience with the other person, but you must also realise that energy can also be persistent, especially if this is a lifelong pattern, so you may feel as though you have an inner and outer battle raging at times. Just when you think you are free of it; it will come back to test your resolve.

Much like a virus needing a host, the energy too needs hosts and if this is not present, in time it will fall away.  Your ex-partner will feel a disconnect, once this energy is forced to withdraw from yours and, unless he/she is ready to grow, they will simply repeat their pattern and find a new person to create that energy to feed off. You, however, by freeing yourself of that energetic dynamic means, you step into the realms of opportunity to consciously create the future that you desire.

Crossing Over, From This World into the Spirit World

Crossing through the veil from this world to the next is one of the most misunderstood, controversial, and asked about phenomena that we, as humans, experience.

Those who have experienced Near-Death Experiences, what we commonly refer to as NDE’s, have stories, often very similar, where they say they have crossed through the veil then been called back to their bodies here on Earth.

Lisa Williams, world renowned Psychic Medium and Author, says, in her book, The Survival of the Soul, “Remarkably, and with few exceptions, people report experiences that closely match descriptions given by others who have also had NDE’s.”

Every Soul will make this transition at some time from this life into the Afterlife. Your Soul is powerful, and it knows what to do. It is also timeless and endless. It cannot be destroyed or lost. Your Soul is pure energy, and it oversees everything about both your living and your dying. As soon as your Soul leaves your body, it knows what to do.

Before you come to Earth, there is a plan for you at a Soul level, and this plan includes exit points.

Your Soul is attached to your physical body through a silver cord that provides an energetic connection. This is how it has been most experienced and described by those who have had out of body experiences, near death experiences, and astral travel experiences.

When you leave your body to cross over, the cord snaps, and you are released from your body. At this point, you can choose to move toward the veil in the direction of the White Light. Again, many describe this same experience when they have had a near-death experience and come back. Because it is a choice, some choose not to take this direction and end up in a place that is neither Earth nor the Afterlife, but a vortex of sorts. Usually, this is because they feel they have unfinished business with their time on Earth. These Souls become what we think of as “Ghosts.”

Those who move into the White Light are supported all the way by their Spirit Guides.

The Spirit World exists in another dimension and time. Those in the Spirit World can come very close to us when we connect with them, and, at the same time, they are actually in a different dimension of higher-vibrational frequency.

Your journey into the Spirit World begins with you traveling through a tunnel. It is not a dark tunnel; it is a tunnel of Light that would be blinding to your human eyes. You continue through the tunnel, pulled as if by a magnet closer and closer to the White Light.

You will be aware of loved ones around you and will be able to see them and touch them once you are out the other side of the tunnel.

One purpose of the White Light is to provide healing and clear the emotions of your passing. It is the first stage of healing preparing you for what is to come. More healing happens once you reach the Afterlife.

You don’t remember what it was like before you came to Earth or other times you have made this transition out of your body and into the Afterlife, but your Soul knows, and it will guide you safely. People experience fear before they die sometimes, but that fear disappears at the time of your crossing and is replaced with awareness.

Lisa Williams says, “It’s just like riding a bike, you never forget.” Remember, also, that you are returning, when you cross over, to a place you came from. Because of this, it will feel familiar to you.

Ancestral Clearing and Healing

Do you understand how deeply your Ancestors care about your life and are invested in your time on Earth?

Your Ancestors are just some of the non-physical support available to you, and it is important to understand how you can best work with them and allow them to support you.

I first started working with my Ancestors and my Ancestral Lineage when I was a Therapist. My specialty was Generational Dysfunction. I continued with this interest and passion when I moved out of therapy and into working as a Psychic, Medium, and Healer.

Your Ancestors’ ability to support you and help you through this life is profound. They can guide you and teach you in very practical and powerful ways. Imagine what strengths, gifts, talents, and traits flow through your Ancestral Lineage and through your bloodline. When you tap into this and allow yourself to receive these, you are able to be more of who you are.

Your Ancestral Line is a part of your Personal Power that runs through you and gives you the capabilities you need to be here and do the work you are here to do, the work you are made to do. The land your Ancestors stood on holds power for you, as well.

Become aware of this support and the calling within you to carry your lineage forward. When you agree to do this, you carry the Power of your entire line and can heal backward and forward 7 generations. Think of that! You can positively and profoundly affect and impact 14 generations in your bloodline.

You gain so much Power when you learn how to draw energy from your Ancestral Lineage. Many people have shut off all access to this, because of the clearing and healing that has not been done and the issues that remain unresolved and create continued pain and wounding.

When you learn how to work with your Ancestors through first Clearing and Healing and then through Reclamation and Assimilation, your world absolutely transforms.

Every generation is called to carry forward the Evolutionary trajectory of their Ancestral Heritage. It becomes their duty to make the best use of their Ancestral Blessings as they look to the future while healing what no longer serves them from the past. This healing addresses generational dysfunction, trauma, wounds, behaviors, limiting beliefs, resistance, toxic energetic patterns, and ways of being, doing, and having.

Understand that, as a Soul, you selected a specific family lineage. This lineage was chosen to provide tremendous opportunity for Spiritual Growth and Enlightenment. When you are able to break free from the limiting patterns of the past, it will allow your Ancestors to break free from their bonds, also.

You are able to connect with your Ancestors, heal what needs to be healed, reveal what needs to be revealed, and honor them with your own personal Spiritual practices. You can allow the Ancestral abilities and knowledge to flow through you when you clear the blocks you have put in place as a way to protect yourself.

This is a powerful step for you in moving forward, making peace with your past and paving a way for your better life and a better future for you and all those who come after you.

BAP 2021 Fabulous Feedback Award Winner

Folks, she has done it again! Deborah Livingston has won Shay Parker’s Best American Psychics’ 2021 Fabulous Feedback Award. Deborah consistently receives high praise and feedback from our clients. She is a fabulous evidential medium and has proven the existence of life after death to anyone that seeks and books a reading. Deborah has the honor of receiving several awards from our company, as her clients repeatedly let us know how she has affected them and their lives in a positive way. And, this year, she is deserving again.

This recent feedback came in and we pulled an excerpt from it to exhibit some of what we hear about Deborah:

“5 stars!!!The only thing better than a reading with Deb Livingston? A SECOND reading with Deb Livingston!First of all, her accuracy is spot on! And from what I understand of the way in which she works, the accuracy is due both to her gift in receiving the messages and her uncanny skill and ability to interpret the message as it applies to the individual. Both times I sat with her, I asked for an hour of her time, split between ‘medium reading’ and ‘life reading’. I love this combo! What makes it so special is that, at least for me, Deb was able to find links between my current life path and messages received from my loved ones in the spirit world.”

Deborah has spent years training and honing her natural gift with the top educators and professionals which accounts for her “uncanny skill and ability to interpret the message as it applies to the individual.” This is what continued education and training is all about and why Deborah is such a highly regarded professional in her field.

Deborah offers psychic and mediumship readings as well as life readings, spiritual assessments, and spiritual mentoring. In addition, she is a published author. She has made several radio and TV appearances. You can book a reading with Deborah and she can read for you at distance via phone.

We are pleased to, once again, offer this award to Deborah! Links for Deborah: https://bestamericanpsychics.com/listing/deborah-livingston

Start the New Year Knowing Your Gifts On Hand

Gift Markings show up where your particular talents are meant to have a spotlight in your life.  These gifts come with a penalty marker if you dont use them.  Its like added pressure to keep you from hiding out as a chick in the shell.  You do have to knock through the limitations around you so that your light can shine.  When you know whats required, the effort isnt a struggle though.  It feels more like a hike that leaves you with a great view feeling pleasantly tired.  Ready to get to that peak of your talent this year?

bestamericanpsychics

Stars:  There are both five pointed and six pointed stars that show up in your hand in all kinds of places.  Regardless of where they show up, the five pointed stars are of Venus and they tend to draw attention to the areas of the hand they land on without you lifting a finger.  What is required is receptivity and gratitude to fuel the firesof the attractor factor.  The better you are at receiving and enjoying the light, the more of it you attract.  Use the hand sample to see which mythological figures you can search to learn what themes or psychological arenas are highlighted by your star.  

bestamericanpsychics

Six pointed stars are of Mars and they require effort.  When opportunity shines a light on you, its time to take the torch and run your lap of the Olympic run.  You dont want to be the runner that drops the torch on the way to the Olympic stadium, do you?  So based on what light comes your way, take it in and make it your own so you can run your true race and make your contribution stand out in a way that pleases you while it stretches you to do your best.  

Healers Lines or Intuitive Lines are vertical lines side by side like pickets in a fence that arent connected horizontally.  They run between the heart line and the top of the hand under the little finger.  Sitting between the heart and Mercurys finger they show that these people can literally feel what another feels and communicate it with some effect.  Healers can often struggle with feeling badly and not knowing why when they dont have healthy ways to disconnect from anothers emotional flow.  It lands like it is in your body and causes confusion.  But it makes a very effective intuitive who can help another sort out the difficult swim of feelings.  

bestamericanpsychics

The Apollo Line gets a lot of attention because it means you are meant to stand out in some arena in your life.  Your gifts are meant to take center stage.  It doesnt automatically mean you will be on a real stage but it does mean you are a gifted storyteller.  How you do it depends on you and there are as many ways to be that communicator in the spotlight as there are people.  I know one whos an attorney who advocates for those who dont have a voice.  

bestamericanpsychics

If you have one of these then you have a little more insight into how to use it this coming year.  But dont despair if you dont.  Your gifts may not be underlined in this post, yet gifted you are.  Check out TruthinHand.com to see if you resonate with a different kind of talent, shown on your hands.  Wishing you a safe and Happy New Year.

Conflict Growth in December

Week 4 of the Fork in the Road December Series

Okay, if you’ve been following along, you now know what your conflict style is and what stretch is ‘on hand’ this month. If you need to catch up then you can do that HERE. (https://bit.ly/BBForkIntheRoad3) Now that you know a bit more about what’s required, let’s have some fun with how you do it. This December we have the meet up of Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius which heralds a new 200 year cycle of expansion that highlights the element of Air, or the mind.

It helps to slow down this month and NOT react right away to what stirs us up. It’s too easy to be triggered into old habits instead of drawing from the growth you’ve achieved over your lifetime.  A slow approach allows room for new information to come into view and inform you about options your old reactions may not factor in when you jump to conclusions or actions.  

Pause, reflect, remember what your strengths are.  If your Head Line ends under an inside finger, you require time to find your backbone to pushback on what doesn’t fit who you are now. That’s not comfortable, since you underestimate yourself more often than not.  Add to the picture that you also overestimate the person opposite you, and you have a recipe for conflict avoidance.  

One step at a time, you have a better chance to see your gifts and strengths.  Instead of snapping closed like a sea anemone, you can reach for your talents and trust that your point of view is worthwhile and needed!  Especially since you understand what it feels like to be overwhelmed, you show others how to be generous when you practice speaking up for yourself while considering them, too.

bestamericanpsychics

If your Head Line makes it to an outside finger under that little finger, then it can be easier for you to be dismissive of the other’s inability to articulate their argument or stand up for themselves.  When you slow down, you can actually help bring about a better conversation by giving them the space to think, feel and come back to you on a slower pace than you operate normally.  

The ability to slow down can also give you added insight that may open their eyes to where they can see the whole picture more clearly when you aren’t doing it from a place of being right and making them wrong.  Instead of dominating a moment or an exchange, you can help light the way for a longer lasting win that includes others in that victory. 

As I mentioned the first week of December, January dials up the pressure to change. So do take what helps and apply it to a slower, kinder pace right now. You’ll be very glad to reap the rewards of that for years to come.  With a 200 year cycle of Jupiter and Saturn meeting up in Air signs, we have to learn how to level the playing field better so that we all benefit.  

If you want to find out what that looks like for you this coming year, you can check out TruthinHand.com and sign up for the newsletter.  You get a special introductory reading at almost half off.  Or, you can request a Year Ahead Reading and find out just what preparations serve you best.  Thank you for tuning in and wishing you all the best, always.
