Over the past five days I have tried to write this newsletter, each time sitting down and coming up with nothing, loosing focus, and moving on to something else. Every month since I started the About Healing Newsletter I have written about what I am going through or recently learned in my self healing journey, without issue. I couldn’t understand my block this month. It’s not like I am not going through anything, because I am, I was just unable to see it clearly.

Then last night I received a message from a friend who intuitively reached out, in total divine timing, with a meme that trigged an understanding of what I am going through. It was about being an empath and running a business. That was it. I run not just a business, but healing centered enterprise that I run solely on a daily basis. I put my heart and soul into every client, podcast episode, social media post, and now healing products that when it came time to put that much energy into writing this newsletter I had nothing left.

It also does not stop with my purposeful work. As a healer and natural caretaker it is an automatic response to really listen to everyone around me, even strangers, and try to help where I can. While I have learned not to read anyone without their permission and to not solicit unwanted advice, I naturally attune to their emotions within (the empath in me) and try to trace them to their source. Thats a lot. Just this in its self requires much energy and can be very draining. Oh and I have I mentioned I am also a mother of 2 young ones and have 2 fur babies?

Consequently, I decided to take some time this morning to really ground myself. While I ground everyday, I obviously needed some extra doses of earth and source energy (I am even writing this soaked in sunshine in front of my dining room window). I needed to slow down and take care of myself to recharge and refocus. No matter how much I truly love my work I had fallen out of balance, over-stretching and exhausting my energy, taking it away from other important roles in my life.

So I write this today to all the caretakers, healers, empaths and anyone else who needs to hear this, that it is okay to check out for a moment, to not have the answers, to turn your amazing light onto yourself. Give yourself more time to ground, rest, and even be taken care of. We cannot forget the balance of giving and receiving. This can only be accomplished when we set the boundaries and make sure we ask for what we need.

May you be easy on yourself allowing the time without guilt, anger, or resentment. Take the time you need to bring yourself back to the high vibrating being you are. Then get back to loving and healing the world one beautiful soul at a time.
