“A truly compassionate attitude toward others does not change even if they behave negatively or hurt you.” ~His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama All our relationships are energetic exchanges—opportunities to become a conduit for loving-compassion. In such turbulent times, however, it’s important that we practice compassionate detachment more than ever. For many of us who are highly sensitive, it’s not easy being so open to the multitude of needs and energies of others. Like sponges, our energy fields are porous and prone to soak up these energies.

3 Steps to Trust, Let Go & Lean into Your Vulnerabilities

Intention functions like a cosmic magnet, drawing to you the people places, and opportunities that shape your future reality. It is up to you to select from these choices as to what aligns with you and what does not. The more you trust the power of your intentions, the easier it is to manifest the life you’ve always dreamed. You are connected to a field of divine energy that emanates from you. Intention gives your awareness (energy) direction. By … [Read more...]
