Heyas all!
Thought to share one of my recent synchronicity moments. I've been more or less in contemplation regarding who I am, what I am, why I am etc and through this I asked a simple request. For the universe to show me more people like me.
Not only did I get the most beautiful answer, I also got to understand more about myself. Which is never a bad thing.
About two weeks ago I was getting ready to do some painting and I noticed outside my window a young woman had put down a blanket to sit upon and next to her was her cat companion. I live next to an extremely large park, so for someone to sit down outside my little apartment is a bit on the hmm side. I had just the day before decided to how shall I say - Unlock my little area to those that may need sanctuary. So I knew that she was there not only for a bit of respite but also nobody really enters my area without either needing help or me being willing to receive help/information. I gave it about an hour before I intuited the right time to go outside and speak with her.
I sat down as quietly and unobtrusive as I could on my patio and gave it a few more moments before she looked up to notice me. I have a tendency I guess to frighten people and I don't want to do that anymore LOL! They don't seem to see me coming and or I'm quite invisible and I do need to work more on being visible I suppose. As she looked up at me I just smile and said "Hello, are you new here?"
This just brought about an entire afternoon of awesome and much needed conversation! She said she was drawn to my area and needed a quiet place away from her home and that she was very empathic. She had just moved to Oregon, felt drawn here since she was a small child and it brought me alot of happiness inside to just say Welcome to Oregon :)
Throughout our conversation that day, not only did the squirrels come sit by me, but the ladybugs seemed to think I was there post to sit upon. The crows in the trees also thought to chime in an awful lot. I write this down here in telling at least someone else out there that WHOAH yeah, that did happen to me.. I'm still processing it. She did remark alot about it and I honestly was not sure what to make of it all, so I just let it happen. She said I know who you are.. You are Mother Nature. I just smiled, put my hands up in front of me and said no and ok yes.. I am so much more than that. I am an infinite being having a human experience and so too is she!
That afternoon was just extraordinary and later on that night I couldnt help but to just jump up in the air with my hands above my head and quietly just say YES that was a good moment!
Then the next week I was at a local store at the right time. I could feel the tension in the air as I walked toward the building with my husband. Even remarked that perhaps we should not go any further. Yet we continued on. Needless to say people were freaking out left and right in the area. My husband went into the store while I stayed outside with our dogs and I cannot state how extremely uncomfortable I felt. I just have to say Thank YOU for the information here on this site, for the teachings, for everything I have learned. Because if I had not learned some things, I might of been a serious cause to the effect of that moment. My old self, would of just stood up inside and said to everyone and everything around us to just sit the M..F.. down.. Just shhhhh'sh! My old self would of contained everything there and made it all more or less worse. There is a way to deal with things and then there is a way not to deal with things. There may have been a shooting there that day if I had not learned to just go inside myself, breathe, calm me so as to not make outward situations any worse by my own distress.
People came out of the store screaming and yelling at each other, an employee was threatening a patron. The patron was getting into there car threatening bodily damage upon the store employee and the entire world to me seemed to just slow down. In an instant I chose to just say quietly but firmly to the people to STOP, breathe, be calm, no more of this behaviour!!! It worked, they did stop, they looked at me like where did this person come from and I just raised my chin a bit more and stood my ground. Whew!!! The patron drove off spewing obscenities and the employee went back into the store only to come back out again and stand near me so they could just take a break. First words out of her mouth were.. I am an Empath. I just nodded and smiled.
What I told her that day is the same that I told the other woman the week before. It is a good idea when one is feeling extreme external distress to just stop, breath in for 7 seconds, hold for 7 seconds and let out the breathe for 7 seconds. While doing so, use your ears to just hear everything around you. Be in your own self and find your own inner calm.

Sooo, that's my story of a few moments of time. My husband is now looking a bit differently at me though and is asking me why people are now coming out of the woodwork and one of the first things they say to me is "I am an Empath."
Now I think I'll go on a journey of every where I go, every place I visit. I want to raise the vibrational frequency to happiness and joy. Because laughter is never a bad thing hmmm :)
