Guardian Angels From Intention

This always used to be something of a mystery.  As a child I was told about guardian angels and how every child has one.  Like most things I was told I believed it.  I learned quickly that not everyone believes in angels so I kept mine to myself.  In fact I named mine.  As I grew older I didn't dismiss my guardian angel.  There were times in my youth when I would rely on my guardian angel to protect me.  Apart from spirit beings, guardian angels are extensions of ourselves.  What I mean is that we can create them out of intent.  If this idea is new to you, you may find it hard to believe.  I believe that brains affect brains in a semi direct way.  It may be via brain waves, or in non-corporeal ways.  I'm not an expert on the details of how it works, but I do know it works.  I also know that the brain can make automation processes just like a computer can.  These processes in the brain are invoked by using intent.  Since a brain is so much more powerful than any computer, it can create better stuff than computers can.  People have imagined worlds and characters and stories and have written them down as literature.  It's not hard to understand that the brain can create automated beings and these beings can do tasks.  In the past you can read about people encountering various spirit entities to include ghosts, familiars, the dead, angels, demons, and the like.  In modern times we have people who have multiple personalities and even children have imaginary friends.  These are examples of possible beings created by intent.  Now I'm not saying that these ghosts, familiars, and the like don't exist apart from us.  I just saying that any of these our mind can create so we interact with them.  In short the beings we create with intent are an extension of ourselves.  Mine is a guardian angel.  There are some thing I have him do.  I ask him questions, give him active tasks, and give him passive tasks.

The good thing about having a guardian angel to ask questions is that he's always there.  I can ask him anything and he'll give me an honest answer.  The problem with asking the question is anticipating the answer.  I have to not anticipate in order to get a good answer.  Usually I just ask questions about myself and what or how I'm doing.  Yes and no questions are the usual types asked.  Questions requiring longer answers take a little more time.  Often once I ask a question and get an answer then a few hours later I will ask the question again and see if I get the same answer.  Does this sound crazy?  I know the angel is just an extension of me.  I don't tell people about him.  Actually, this is the first time ever I'm writing about him.  I think crazy is when you act crazy in front of people.  This is a private activity I'm describing.

Sometimes I will give the guardian angel an active task.  Once I gave him the task of bringing in students for my adult ed class.  He did a good job because all of the sudden I got an influx of students.  I will also use him to keep certain people away who I deem dangerous to me.  He has been very good with this task over the years.  Nothing really bad has happened to me.  I do think though its important to bring the angel back once the task requested is done.  That way I don't get drained, or set myself up for a counter strike by someone else.  We do live in a world with many people, and people can crate their own task doing being out of intent.  Since I'm choosing to do good not evil, I don't use the angel for retribution on anybody.

My guardian angel is a protector.  So I've given him the task of looking big strong and intimidating so that other people would not tend to do bad to me.  This is a passive task.  I've talked to many people over the years and have come to realize that people suffer needlessly quite often.  I'm just talking about people having accidents or getting into fights, or doing stuff that's so preventable.  If you have a protector guardian angel most of that stuff can be avoided in the first place.  You can say invoking a guardian angel results in luck.

These are the thing I do with my guardian angel: I ask him questions, give him active tasks, and give him passive tasks.  You could dismiss this as a childish thing to do.  Yet I see in my life that it has had some positive results.  When you read in the news how people die in accidents, or kill someone, or destroy someone's property out of situations that are sometimes comical but most of the times are sad, then you should wonder how to avoid such situations.  I say keeping a protective guardian angel is a decent way to do it.

The Things I See

This life is hard.  I'm sure I'll get much agreement with that.  As an empath, I pick up on a lot people do.  Sometimes I just want to sit back and watch people in their self destructive ways.  I'm not talking about drinking or doing drugs.  I'm talking about attitudes, mannerisms, and practices.

I see a lot of people drive fast into a traffic jam in the daytime.  I really don't understand the sense in that, except that they may be trying to release tension.  Well that is sure a dangerous way to do it. 

I see teachers ripping students to shreds while giving them a decent grade.  I don't think those teachers realize how counter productive that is to students.  They could rather encourage the needed skills instead of just discouraging what students have done right or wrong.

I see doctors unwilling to say 'I can't do anything for you' but resort to condescending speeches.  That just makes me mad, and it shows how immature some of the doctors can be.  These need to get some good lessons on how to communicate with patients.

I see officers getting a too gun ho on people.  I see thieves doing stupid stuff and getting caught.  People are cheating on their spouses and partners.  Politicians feign surprise when they are caught in the lies they weave.  It's one thing after another.

We do things to ourselves and create habits that hurt us in the end.  Sometimes it's comical but most of the time it's pathetic.  We're really just a silly people.

Handling Ever More Stress

In this age of ups and downs, it's important to make it a habit to relax.  I coming to realize this more and more.  My personal schedule is getting busier, and as a consequence so is my apprehension to loading up my schedule.  Having a busy schedule can cause a lot of stress and, for people like me, an empath and a migraineur, can cause migraines and emotional insecurity.  Sometimes having a loaded schedule in necessary, and that's when some good practices can come to the rescue.  Grounding, pushing out emotion, and rest are three things that can help.

Grounding is getting away from everyone at least by 50 feet and for about 10 minutes.  This can help you find out how your feeling and let you know what personal areas need attention.  Sometimes coaching yourself helps or other techniques while grounding.  Being around plants or a quiet place helps.  This gives some time to recuperate during the day.  You should feel better equipped to keep going on afterward.

Pushing out emotion is a technique that you can do on the fly.  When you feel too overwhelmed with emotion, take a couple of breaths.  With each exhale, push out energy from your body with the use of some intentions.  I usually imagine the energy leaving my body through my hands, feet, and head.  You can do this with people around you, or whatever situation your in.  It helps with the immediate need.

Get extra rest.  Get extra rest.  I can't emphasize it enough.  Get extra rest.  Dr. Judith Orloff also mentions this point in her article How Listening to Your Body Can Improve Your Life.  Empaths and highly sensitive people need extra rest.  We live through enough emotions everyday as it is, more so than other people.  We need extra rest.  Taking at least 2 hours can turn a painful day into a lighter one. 

In this day and age we are bound to get more stuff on our plate.  Grounding, pushing out emotion, and getting rest can help alleviate some of the effects of stress.  We may find ourselves going in several directions at once.  Managing ourselves is just as important, if not more, as taking care of our other responsibilities.  Don't let yourself fall apart.
