no bad vibes

No bad vibes. All good vibes.

Just go sailing.

No predictions. No insights. Just go. That's it. No more psychic anything.

Oh...the folks sailing the boat had never done it on their own before. But besides the fact that I totally trust them....I also totally trust that I've built a strong relationship with my intuition and I trust I'll get guidance when needed. Rest of the time...just sail with it....

a 12 year old explains how to disconnect

"Mom," my son says casually at dinner, "You're still connected to your ex-boyfriend. You really need to disconnect. Can you tell when what you are feeling is your feeling or his?"

Wow. He's right. I'd start getting such a heavy, overwhelmed feeling all of a sudden when I'd been feeling fine...and sure enough the phone would ring in a couple minutes and it would be him. I was still tangled up in our connection to each other and experiencing his feelings as my own. Oops. I thought I knew better than that. Takes a 12 year old to point it out.

I practice this with clients, but I have more to learn. I wonder how I'll do it. This is an opportunity and I'm curious.

When putting my son to bed that night, he tells me he has an idea for me. (I perk up, because I can sense that this is one of those moments when he is "in the zone.") "Mom, I think that when you are sensing the emotion, you can check and see- if it is on the right side of the body it is yours and if it is on the left side of the body it is his. I think that will work for you."

In appreciation, I respond, "Wow. Interestingly, the left side of the body does represent the receiving side. I bet I can do that! Thanks, love."

Then we talk about soccer practice. But I'm all grins and giggles.
