I wonder if I'm even supposed to post this or not. I had finished the blog, went to post and the system kicked me back to log into Yahoo. Then when I got back, my post was gone. There wasn't even the little *Recover last entry* notice. I'm going to try again anyway.
On Saturday morning I woke up with a visual disturbance in my left eye, the aura of a migraine, similar to the one pictured above (but less purple and more refractive). In my 30's and 40's this would have meant that I was about to get kicked in the head by a horse (metaphorically that is). A migraine was coming! I never got any pain this time and the disturbance only lasted 30 minutes or so. Only long enough for me to take notice of it really. I even wondered at the time if it were mine or not. You see sometimes I pick up other people's symptoms or pain. I've learned to recognize what is mine and what is passing through. And *passing through* is what really needs to happen. This is called empathy. Being an empath is like being a sponge, and if you're not vigilant you'll soak up too much environmental (energetic, physical or emotional) stuff that doesn't need to be in your life's experience. Some of the ways I've learned to recognize mine from other is: 1) Is there relevance to my current body conditions?; 2) Is there emotion that comes with it that is foreign to my current emotional state; and 3) Am I in physical or emotional proximity to someone who is experiencing this problem?
If that was your aura, I send you lots of healing energy.
Have a great day.
