It’s easy to get thrown out of balance by the events of the world. Particularly the recent political chaos that has left many of us wondering where the presence of justice, kindness and compassion reside. The dark secret of sexual abuse became public this week. We purged ourselves and began a massive collective detox from the centuries old pattern and all too common practice of hiding this dark truth. We are only as sick as our secrets and we are healing at our core. Of course, there was denial and resistance. Darkness hides from the light.
The world can seem to be split in two, the physical and the spiritual, and this tends to create division within ourselves as well. Although it may not be readily apparent and obvious, there is only one power in the universe and the beyond. Whatever you call it, this one power creates and nurtures all of life and expresses itself through love and compassion. This is the power that can heals us individually and collectively and bridges the gap between the seen and known and the unseen and elusive. It speaks to us from a quiet inner place and reminds us of its grace and goodness.
Don’t give your power over to external events. It’s tempting to do this and spiral down into a dark place, overwhelmed and without hope.
This is a powerful moment of individual and collective transformation. When we remain positive, love ourselves and others, even those that think differently than we do, the one power of the universe flows through us. Evil eventually destroys itself. It is a dark ghost that feeds on our fears and negativity. Without this it starves and turns in on itself and devours its own.
What we are here to learn, in this time and place and be a witness to, is the crumbing of the old and the emergence of the power of love. The creative, indestructible and life giving power of love. Listen to it, it lives within you.
Becoming aware of your innate psychic abilities and making the decision to further develop them, embodies many of the characteristics of the hero’s journey. Joseph Campbell in his book, The Hero with a Thousand Faces, describes the universal archetypal pattern of the hero and how it guides human development and spiritual transformation. Since the beginning of recorded time, we have sought the adventure and challenge of exploring the unknown and reaching beyond ourselves.

When we are young we are taught the value of playing nice, sharing our toys and not being demanding and mean to others. As we get older, we continue to be taught in overt and subtle ways to silence our emotions and wait our turn. While these lessons can be valuable and help us to respect others and refine our ego, it can also give us the unconscious message that the raw truth of who we are, cannot be trusted. One false move in saying something that another does not agree with or sharing a feeling that may be too intense, could doom us to a life of loneliness.
Those with a high degree of emotional intuition, often share common characteristics. Most are highly sensitive and empathetic, especially with those who are in pain or suffering in some way. With a desire to support, help and be of service to others, they may believe that love can heal all. It is not surprising that those with a high degree of emotional intuition also tend to be emotionally intelligent. Common traits of emotional intelligence include such thing as the ability to be aware of, communicate, and express emotions, as well as the ability to skillfully help others to process their emotions. An emotional intuitive may not only feel another’s emotions, they are also able to lighten another’s emotional stress and worries through a kind of emotional psychic intervention. They often do this unknowingly by sending pure waves of unconditional healing love energy to those who they intuit are in need. 
Day to day life for those with a primary and innate mode of intuiting through their emotions, may at times feel like an emotional roller coster. If you have a high degree of emotional intuition, you may not be aware of the degree to which you intuit another’s emotional energy. Because you were born with this innate sensitivity, you may not always be able to distinguish your own feelings from the feelings that you have absorbed from others.
