Intuitives—“a species unto themselves”

Photo Copyright 2010 by Ted Grussing

Psychiatrist and empath, Judith Orloff, M.D., states in this article at the Huffington Post:

"In my psychiatric practice in Los Angeles and in my workshops I've been struck by how many sensitive, empathic people who I call "emotional empaths" come to me, lonely, wanting a romantic partner, yet remaining single for years. Or else they're in relationships but feel constantly fatigued and overwhelmed. The reason isn't simply that 'there aren't enough emotionally available people 'out there,'' nor is their burnout 'neurotic.' Personally and professionally, I've discovered that something more is going on.

“In Emotional Freedom I describe emotional empaths as a species unto themselves. Whereas others may thrive on the togetherness of being a couple, for empaths like me, too much togetherness can be difficult, may cause us to bolt. Why? We tend to intuit and absorb our partner's energy, and become overloaded, anxious, or exhausted when we don't have time to decompress in our own space.”

Are you intuitive? Do you indentify with this in any way? ... feel different? Need your space, more than most people might?

Trusting Intuition

Medical doctor and intuitive, Dr. Judith Orloff and psychic intuitive Char Margolis discuss intuition with Dr. Oz.

Dr. Orloff is author of Second Sight and her latest book is Emotional Freedom. Char is an excellent psychic and her books are Questions from Earth, Answers From Heaven and Living in Spirit. She also has a long running primetime television show in The Netherlands. (I wish it was here in the USA, too).

We have to learn to trust our intuition. Char said to “OWN” your intuition and to do so with these 4 Cs:

Courage, Confidence, Commitment, to Conquer it—act upon it.





I would like to see more discussion of this by Char and Dr. Orloff.

Emotional Sponge

"NO is a complete sentence." ~Judith Orloff, M.D.

Dr. Judith Orloff identifies an empath as an emotional sponge. She writes: “World–class nurturers, empaths are highly sensitive, finely tuned instruments when it comes to emotions. Because they interpret the world intuitively, they tend to feel everything (sometimes to an extreme) and can therefore fall prey to stressful emotions, anxiety, panic attacks, and depression, especially if they don’t set and maintain boundaries. The right mix of intellect, feeling, and groundedness can help them get centered.”

Are you an emotional sponge, taking it all in?

Are you too emotional?

Have you learned to put up boundaries?

Have you learned to release stress and anxiety?

Have you learned to be compassionate and loving without taking on the emotions of another?

Here is a short video of Dr. Orloff describing an emotional empath.

Emotional Eating

Strawberries are the angels of the earth, innocent and sweet with green leafy wings reaching heavenward. ~Jasmine Heiler

We’ve all heard the term comfort food, and each of us probably have our “favorite” comfort food, such as ice cream, chocolate, or some favorite food that may have a significant memory attached to it. And with that warm memory comes a warm and cozy feeling when enjoying that particular food. Often that particular food may be a food full of calories—sugar, fat, etc.

Dr. Judith Orloff has an interesting perspective on over-eating. It is often said that emotional issues can play a role but I don’t believe I have heard it explained in regards to those of us who are intuitive and consciously or unconsciously use food as a buffer against negative energy.

Do you do that at times? ...maybe after a phone call from a family member or friend that seems to have lots of negativity...and after ending the conversation do you head to the kitchen for a “snack?” Or after a disagreement with someone?

Is It Meant to Be? Intuition vs. Will

“Intuition will tell the thinking mind where to look next.” ~Jonas Salk (1914-1995)

Is it meant to be? Is it not meant to be? Is the time right? Is it destiny?

Disappointments are part of life. What are the emotional lessons, and how can we transcend negativity, and transform emotionally negative emotions into something better? How can we use our innate intuition to guide us on our path?

Psychiatrist and Intuitive Judith Orloff, M.D. gives an interesting prospective into empowering ourselves.

Power of Thought, A Major Spiritual Lesson

For many the economic situation is fueling anxiety and fear and being exposed to the news of the situation via our media which is too often negative energy, you can’t help but wonder what that negativity is doing? Some fear change. Fear drains energy.

But for many, despite the economic situation, the energy is positive, hopeful and optimistic. Those people know change is upon us and are eagerly accepting it.

Dr. James Martin Peebles (1822-1922), now a spirit guide, gives us his spiritual psychology and within his teachings are these very important Three Spiritual Principles.

* Loving Allowance for all things to be in their own time and place, beginning with yourself.
* Increased Communication with all of life everywhere, and with respect.
* Self Responsibility, for you are the eternal creator never the victim.

In this excerpt from my book, Three Principles of Angelic Wisdom, Dr. James Martin Peebles had this to say when I asked him, “Can you speak of the energy dynamic of the principles—if there is one to be considered?”

Dr. Peebles: “As we have said, thought is energy. And within the concept of the principles is thought, which come before action. So when one even begins it think of the three principles, energy is in motion and moves out and around and away from its source. Where does it go? Into the universe. It is no longer just a thought in the mind. It is a thing, a force and is alive and vibrant. And when the triad of principles are put in action and reaction, the force of that energy not only moves within the heart and mind of self, but radiates out touching all in its path. It spirals through the universe and gains momentum on its travel. The journey becomes one of gigantic proportions and is ever-expanding in energy. Because love is at its center, it radiates harmony and the spiraling energy becomes a fabric of eternity, never ending, never relenting in its power to bring about change.”

So which outlook do you choose and want to create for your life?

The spiritual lesson is to change fear and anxiety into courage and hope.
