I have come across a message board and chat room that not only has nice member but also a chat room. Held in the chat room are open and closed development circles.

The open development circle is on Saturday Evenings from 19:00 - 21:00 hrs UK time.

Readings are also given however you must be a member of the forum and be active with at least 20 posts under your belt.

In my opinion if you are looking for a place that is welcoming, kind and where you can pratice your abilities then this may be the place you are looking for.

I am writing this post for Lucille but hopefully this will be helpful to many of you.

Here is a senerio that is what I acutally experienced and lead me to deeply wonder if I was an empath…

Although all the signs were there I did not actually start seriously wondering if I was an empath until I was in my late 30’s after the birth of my son. I swear, I think having a child does something to change you so deeply. Parts of yourself that were always there unrealized start coming to the surface. Suddenly I couldn’t watch a movie or the news without totally losing it and bawling or shaking uncontrollably. I knew something was up but for about a year I just couldn’t figure out if I just never noticed that I was sensitive to certain things or if something was really changing within me…or awakening.

To make a long story short I started searching for information on emapthy but even reading about the traits still didn’t 100% convince me of whether I was an emapth or not but I had to know who I really was. Being adopted I always had a sense of not knowing but knowing there was more to me than what was on the surface. And so I searched like I was obsessed. lol. With every little bit of info I found it lead me to more. Empathy articles lead me to articles about meditation which lead me to info about chakras which lead me to information about psychic abilities and there it was again…empathy was mentioned and I had come full circle. But I was still feeling like “Ah Ha!” but still not knowing what it all meant specifically to ME. So I had learned a lot but still I had to know without a doubt the truth and so it seemed to me I would only find that out by opening and clearing my chakras.

I started by learning to meditate first…just 5 minutes at a time. Once I could meditate 5 minutes without my mind wondering and losing the stillness of my mind I began practicing opening and clearing the chakras in meditation starting with the foot charka and working my way up and then leaving the third eye/brow charka for last.

Approximately 3 weeks later it hit me suddenly. Just one day, just like that, I was fully awakened to who I really was…and empath. I left my house and drove to my parents house and two houses away I felt them. My Fathers cold, his head, my Mother medication issues, her allergies (not nice), etc. I was almost afraid to actually go in their house for fear of what I would feel standing right next to them.

Note that from the first time I opened and balanced my chakras I worked on them every day faithfully for approx 15-30 minutes a day. I say that to let you know…it doesn’t come easy…there is work involved. If you don’t do what is necessary or you don’t want to you will not achieve any results.

Now on to the good stuff.

The three chakras that most affect empathy are:

SACRAL PLEXUS CHAKRA-
Located about two inches below the navel. This chakra is responsible for our sexuality, physical vitality, emotions, pleasure, desire, passion, love, change, new ideas, and health. It corresponds with all things forementioned. Stones that open this chakra are carnelian and coral.
Color: Orange, balanced by brown

SOLAR PLEXUS CHAKRA-
Located just below the chest. This chakra represents ability to pick up vibrations and tune in to energy from other people, places, and things. It corresponds with self-control, control of desire, authority, transformation, happiness, and energy. Stones that open this chakra are amber and citrine.
Color: Yellow, balanced by green

HEART CHAKRA-
Located over the heart. This chakra represents empathy and our ability to ground energy that flows through our bodies. It corresponds with feelings, forgiveness, unconditional love, understanding, compassion, trust, and openness. Stones that open this chakra are jade and aventurine.
Color: Green, balanced by pink

Here is a guided meditation that is 7 minutes that you can follow along with.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFqHa4gOP3c

I know for me this was one of my biggest and most important goals, to speak with my spirit guides. Before awakening I would talk yo them know they could hear me even though I couldn’t hear them. Since I didn’t know my guides name I gave her/him a form of my middle name. My middle name was Andrea so I called my spirit guide Andy for probably about a year. The thing to always remember is to be respectful. As respectful as you would be to anyone you are communicating with.

If you would like to meet and speak with your spirit guides one of the best ways to do this is in meditation. Before you begin your meditation state that you would like for one of your guides to come to you in your meditation so that you can meet, find out their name and be told anything they would like to tell you. Your guides are there, always there with you, and will hear you and will come.

Ya know the saying “If you build it they will come.” That is what I did in meditation. I built a place where I could sit, enjoy the atmosphere and wait for my guide(s) to join me. I would create a scene that I would visualize in meditation. An open field of soft grass near a waterfall that was on one side and a brook on another side. I met a few of my guides there.

The important thing to remember is to TRUST what you see and hear. In the beginning you will come out of meditation feeling like what you experienced was something your own mind made up. I assure you it is not. So, take notes after your meditaiton. Even better…start a journal where you cna write about all your experiences and especially things you hear and are told in meditation. Don’t worry if the first couple of times you just can’t make it happen. Meditation is not exactly magic. It is something you need to do often and practice. If this is important to you then I am sure you won’t mind putting in 15 minutes a day.

Also in the half a sleep/half awake state it is easier to hear (as though outside your head) spirits. I have so far heard Metatron and Queen Mother Mary (as she annouced herself in this way). The funny thing is having doubts and not really trusting at the time it was great that they came to me versus another spirit. Because I knew nothing of them at all and even had to look up information on them. So that helped to take away my doubt.

I won’t give you an impression that I was not a little freaked out. I was! My heart was racing so fast and I was so nervous but I tried to stay calm and stay in that half awake/half asleep state so that I could hear as much as they had to say to me. It was an awesome experience. It’s okay that you are nervous but stay calm and remember that they love you and do everything they can to make sure your contact with them is a good experience so you can learn, grow and then share the knowledge with others.

If you have any experiences to share I am sure other would love to read them…so feel free to post them here and leave a link to your blog or website if you would like and I will be happen to check it out and write a post telling others about it.
