Yoga/Empathy

Feeling the body stretch and the breath flowing through me...yes, yoga once again...I was a full time yogi for about a year...and then some major life changes came about...I've just recently picked up the flow once again...muscles are stiff and the breath not as deep, but the chakras are alive and spinning ...and the energy is vibrant!

Laying down once again into corpse position and letting the body melt into the floor..well, that's something that must be learned again...it is a bit hard to become grounded again...as a newly awakened lightworker, the energy is at full speed and grounding can be quite difficult...I don't want to wear myself out spiritually! I've done that before in the past....overwhelming myself with my spirituality...so much so, that I was left an empty vessel...

But I forgive myself, for during those traumatic years, I felt that my spirituality is all that I had....it took me away for a brief moment...but that was the problem...I'd have Spirit flowing through me in my sacred space tucked into that little corner of my room..but as soon as I left that sacred space...the negative energy in my environment would bring me back down again....so hard to live your spirituality when you're in a negative situation with negative people...and being an empath makes it that much harder!!

I have to constantly shield myself still...I work in an environment where competition is fierce and there really isn't that very many women..it feels like I have to constantly prove myself....when, really, all I want to do is my job...I certainly have to remember to ground and center myself when at work...but at 4:30 in the morning, that can be a bit challenging!

I am open for suggestions! What can I do to better shield myself in the work place? How can I bring peace to myself with a job that is both physically and mentally challenging?

Love and light!
