What if.. you discover something bad about another person. Something about the way they are thinking that you have suspected for awhile and that you feel is not a healthy way of living. Something that you have felt that they should have gotten help or conselling for that never occured. ..

Neale Donald Walsch:
'If you cannot accept that you are co-creating all of the conditions, circumstances, and events of your life, at least accept that you are creating your experience of them. No one else can tell you how to feel about anything. Surely that is undeniable.'

hello I am struggling with choices and sticking to my ideals. I am 34 and without children. I am fearfull that I will end up without children and alone. I know it is possible to just go out and get pregnant but that is not what i want. i want a stable family for my child since I did not have stable male figures around me when I was growing up. I am fearfull that I am taking too long.

To Julian: If you been holding it for a long time you need to let it go! Ok maybe this in the past and as you said there are risks. Still think about it and reconsider. But for now find a place and a time you can be alone and not disturbed and write a letter expressing how you really felt then and how you feel now about this person or situation. Say it all!! Really connect with all that energy inside you and write it down. Allow the anger to be expressed there and then. Cry, scream... what ever it takes. When is done, calm yourself down with connecting with your body. Breathing in and out slowly, deep breaths... allowing your heart to slow down... and you now much calmer.
Fold this letter and find a safe place that you can burn it. As you do it say to yourself or aloud: ' I set you free, (you can say the name of the person or name the situation), I do not carry you anymore, I accept what happen and I know I can not change it, I choose now to let you go from me, You have no more power over me for I set you free. Thank you.' Burn the letter and watch it burning. Say a pray if you wish, or simply be grateful to the universe for taking this from you now. Flash the ashes in toilet or sink with running water. This has a lot of power and it should help. Love and light to you.

Hello Cocoeco :) Time is relative to all of us. In the beginning of something hard it always feels like is taking forever. But nothing stays the same forever and it will pass :) Now first of all you need to concentrate in making you feel better. Allow yourself to grief the lost, and for this we all different. Maybe the only thing I would look out for is about your own 'need' to be sad; victim; poor me; within yourself and around other for what ever reason that might be on the conscious or unconscious level. Sometimes we all fall into this trap. So find things to do, find a course, get involved with something that gives pleasure. A class of something you would like to do. Here there is two important things: one it has to be something that takes you out of the house and gives something to do and another is that it has to be something that it will give you some kind of pleasure or reward. This is important. As you become stronger and able to free your heart from the pain you will see the light and better things will come your way.
Now as for your ex, you say you miss his company. Finishing a romantic relationship should not have to mean finishing a friendship. So nothing wrong about being in touch and build a New relationship. Now be aware you said it have been on and off for many years, so you don't want to fall into that. So first you need to be ready for that and from the beginning set boundaries!! What you ok with and what you not. Sex or any form of intimacy should be kept out for both sake. I know of many people who became better people for each others after they broke up. It need both to be up for it and not many are but is great. Hope this helps. Love and light to you. x

Hello. Just wondering if I could get some advice. I recently experienced a break up from a 3 year in again off again relationship, about 2 months ago. Although I have been seeing a counsellor, having hypnosis, meditating etc. i know it was for the best because we werent happy, and i wish him all the best because I want him to be happy, but I still miss his friendship. I'm still feeling a little bit of heartbreak, and feeling alone... I'm just wondering, how long does it usually take for these things to pass?

Hi :) anger... umm that is always an interesting one. I personalty believe unlike most that anger is as good as anything else. So many people see it as a negative thing and block it at all costs. Bottling up inside you is not a good thing, with time your body will tell you enough is enough. Sometimes with depression sometimes with an illness. You depression is a good thing, is there to make you stop what you doing/thinking that is not good for you. Is asking you to look back and rethink things, express things, forgive, let go, start accepting you are, stop guilt and blame of self or others. Take responsibility!
Anger need to be expressed at all times when is felt, like love should. If you express it and don't hold it, it will go and you will be in peace again. Ok sometimes you can't or don't want to do it to the person or situation, in that case, express it still by writing a letter, (you do not need to send it) or simply go outside and shout!! But never hold if for long. Hope this helps :) LOve and light to you. x

Hi Drewj, from a Counsellor point of view, empathy is when we hear someone or something and we are able to imagine what must feel like to be in that position. That gives us an experience that helps us to be able to respond in a genuine way to the person. Is not sympathy that is more what most friends do -'oh I am so sorry...' Empathy come from a place of unconditional love, acceptance and that is why it makes it so powerful to experience it in therapy. :)
Now from a healer point of view, lately I been reading about a lot of people called 'Empaths' and how they are overwhelmed about how they can feel others... (You read more in the circle called empaths). In my understanding we are all empaths at some level as well as we are all healers but of course some are more developed and aware and others are not. We are energy and energy influences energy so I sense it what might be happening to you is that you becoming more sensitive to the energy. Sometimes can be of someone, or sometimes of a place or a situation and that sometimes can simply change our moods, the way we feel and even give us physical pain. I was on the weekend visiting a new age shop that I know for ages... I like all the stuff there but lately every time I go there I feel strange and I start having head aches. I know that is the energy, shame that they not caring about it more... It should be a peaceful energy like it use to be years ago, but now it isn't. Is heavy because probably the kind of people using it damp it all there and no one is cleansing and grounding it. I could only stay for a few minutes and as soon as I got out, I breath and touch the floor to ground it all and the head ache went... As about the first question: thought or feeling first. I believe it depends. Sometimes is the thought/imagination that makes us feel (like anxiety) and sometimes is the feeling that makes us think (like the 6th sense- gut feeling). Hope this helps. Love and light to you. X
