It was a sad realization that convinced me that a fair number of people have no idea what self love is and and even less of an understanding of how to practice it. We have been, from our earliest part of life, fully indoctrinated by actions, words and subtle inferences. Our parents, teachers, siblings, extended family, religious people, friends and more have impressed all of their beliefs, attitudes, fears, insecurities onto you. You learn a great deal about yourself early on and I can step out on a limb and say that, unless you’re a narcissist, you probably don’t think too much of yourself. We must redefine self love. We tend to go with a very 3rd dimension definition that says we must pamper ourselves and become fully involved with trying to convince our ego that material things and activities are the remedy for poor self image. It has been my experience that if I stared slowly by finding things about myself that I approve of while stating the intention that I will realize and be enamored of my truest self, the one hiding under tons of wrong perspectives, self loathing and feeling as though I was so flawed and unworthy of any good thing that I could dig my way out of what seemed a never ending nightmare. It is a journey for sure and takes dedication to the endeavor of self reflection in order to change all of those beliefs that keep us from realizing who we really are and why we’re here. It is more important than ever that we learn the skills that direct us to places of discovery within ourselves because that’s where our answers are, that’s where we learn how powerful and eternal we are. Join Kristin and I as we share what we know about this subject! Blessings!

Join Martha and Kristin for a discussion about how energy has an impact on empaths. Many of us have been there before, you walk into a room and can “feel” that something is not quite right. Without being told, you zero in on the person who is troubled and feel the need to be of assistance because you may feel it’s your duty to help. Or you know when something or someone is “off” and feel the need to leave the premises. You may also feel someone’s pain or illness. Welcome to the world of the Empath! Of course there’s more to being an Empath but I think we get the message. Being an Empath is significantly different from being empathetic, for example, I can have empathy with someone who has a toothache because I have experienced it myself and can honestly say that I understand. I feel your pain because I too have had a similar experience. An Empath feels your discomfort without having had the experience personally because Empaths are highly and deeply sensitive to the energy of a person or situation. It is important to remember that Empaths are susceptible to being drained energetically and that it is advisable to protect that energy by employing methods that allow you to continue to offer energetic support without being drained. There are various methods such as surrounding yourself in a bubble of light and ways to “sanitize” your field if you have given too much away. Each night before I go to bed, I will cleanse my field with sage or high vibration incense and state that I cleanse my space of any and all negative energy or entities, cut ties to any low vibration attachments and acknowledge that I am a vessel for Source. Join Kristin and I as we explore this subject in more depth and detail on this latest episode of Empowered Empaths.

Many blessings, Martha Juchnowski

Think Mind Think
by @sincerely_joe

Think Mind think
Think of all of the things that
you’ve ever wanted to think
Maybe the individualist within
is all they’ve ever wanted to
sink
in?

Think mind think

Trying to stop you only continually
pushed both of us close to the brink

We could very well be more alike than either of us have ever wanted to think

Think mind think

Impress me
Show me your loves
Show me your fears
Show me your envy
Show me your blame
Show me your source
Show me your insecurities
Show me your impurities
Show me your credibility
Show us all the egotistical bullshit
that we have repeatedly been forced to witness

Push me to think.

Push me to drink
Push me to lose it all
Push me to give up
taking care of my body
Push me to give up on
hope, faith, love, and
all the good there is to give

Push me to ruin everything.
Oh wait…you already did.

Think mind think
Show me something

You taught me.
How?
To tear it down.

Now built it back up
brick
by
brick

Think mind think
Until you come back
home to me with bliss

Until then,
into the wind
I will blow you
one more kiss.

Think mind think.

You never really gave us a chance
and we have overcome everything

Think mind think

For the first time
in my entire life…

I can hear
the crickets
sing

🎶🦗🎶

Martha and Kristin are back. We actually never went anywhere but we needed to pull in and regroup. A lot has been happening and if we have anyone still interested in listening, we hope you enjoy this discussion. If you are new to this show, welcome.

If you’re like me, you were raised to accept what shows up in your life as “the will of God” and never, ever question or complain about what does show up. I always thought I was a peon,
flawed, a sinner who had no business speaking to God other than to say I’m sorry for my many faults. Little did I know how wrong I was! I began, slowly but surely, to feel as though I was a
being that is and always was a beloved individuated aspect of that Creator and I have been on a journey of awakening since. What I know now is that we live in a participatory universe and we play the central role in conscious creation. What I also know is that we haven’t come to the full realization of our powerful gifts and abilities and need a little feedback and reinforcement as we go along and that’s why I have learned to ask the universe some questions. The first is “what if”.
What if all that I believe about myself is false? What if I am not hopeless, lazy, ugly, fat, stupid,
unworthy? You’re not making statements that your subconscious mind can’t believe and will therefore guide you back to the old default thoughts. You are merely looking at possibilities that have never been entertained. The other “challenge” I give to the universe is this: Show me how
it can get better”. Kristin and I talk about these ideas on this week’s episode of Empowered
Empaths. This may change your life for the better so join us and find out for yourself. What if it is true?

Join Kristin and Martha for an uplifting and informative conversation with psychic/tarot reader
Misty. We are so fortunate to have the privilege of speaking with so many gifted
psychics, mediums, and healers and sharing their unique perspectives on what’s been
happening in the world as well as how they guide their clients to awakening and growth. Misty
is a deeply empathetic counselor and also uses the tarot to share the spirit of wisdom with her
many clients. Along with her business, she homeschools four children which we all agreed is
the hardest job around!

Misty can be reached at mysticvisions.net as well as her Facebook page.
