Practical Solutions - Part 1

In this episode we share the importance of understanding oneself on a deeper level. We share deeper solutions, different resources, tools and ways we’ve explored in hopes that it can support you to. Understanding yourself can be really illuminating and useful knowledge that can help you to embrace your true nature. We have a conversation about these resources and what we’ve learnt about ourselves and how they have helped us work with ourselves instead of against. These tools can also shed light on helping you understand others you are in connection with which can greatly enhance and grow your relationships. Things we cover: Human Design - What is it and how knowing our energy type has helped us. We discuss our individual human designs and our experiences in applying some of this knowledge to our lives.  How resources come to you at exactly the right time for you and when you need it. How we as souls choose our exact date of birth and time we arrive here as a template for who we are and who we are here to become. Gene Keys - We share our experiences of working with The Gene Keys. The power of contemplation and looking at shadow aspects of self. Highlighting aspects of self that are unconscious. Transmuting shadows into a gift. As empaths we find it difficult enough to know what is going on in our internal world. We share how valuable it is to have an explanation to energies you experience internally.  How these resources provide a reference point for you to orientate and align with your original self.  Numerology - life path numbers. How your birthdate holds a particular frequency that can give insight to information that can guide you into alignment with yourself. We discuss our own life path numbers and share our challenges in embracing our life path number. Numerology - Personal year numbers, collective year numbers and monthly collective number and how these energies can influence the energies you experience. Again knowing these if it interests you can allow you to work with the energy instead of against it (this episode was recorded in 2021)  The importance of not necessarily identifying and attaching yourself to these deeper layers of self but to really understand your inner landscape so you know how to work with yourself rather than against.  The Pattern App - Based off your birth chart and goes in depth with patterns and cycles you may be currently experiencing, explaining your personality traits and how you operate in relationships. It can give you insight to your compatibility with others and the patterns that exist between you.  LINKS: Find your Human Design Chart: https://www.myhumandesign.com/get-your-chart/ https://www.jovianarchive.com/get_your_ My Human Design App: https://www.myhumandesignapp.com/ Find your Gene Keys Profile: https://genekeys.com/free-profile/ref/1423/ Gene Key Book:  https://www.amazon.com.au/Gene-Keys-Unlocking-Higher-Purpose/dp/1780285426/ref=asc_df_1780285426/?tag=googleshopdsk-22&linkCode=df0&hvadid=341743264305&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11676367610862929921&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9071462&hvtargid=pla-451650750718&psc=1 Link to work out your life path number:  https://seventhlifepath.com/ The life you were born to live - by Dan Millman: https://www.amazon.com.au/Life-You-Were-Born-Live/dp/1932073752/ref=asc_df_1932073752/?tag=googleshopdsk-22&linkCode=df0&hvadid=341743264305&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3381357722842512661&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9071462&hvtargid=pla-523916946614&psc=1 Raph - Reydiant Reality: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwPrNCYPZHhj7otidyiuw8A Follow Autmn Rains IG: ⁠@autmnrains⁠ Spotify: ⁠Autmn Rains⁠ Website: ⁠https://www.autmnrains.com⁠ Email: [email protected] Follow Annalie  IG: ⁠@annalie1111⁠ Spotify: ⁠Annalie⁠ Website: ⁠www.centredconnections.com⁠ Email: [email protected] Music, Mix & Master by: @LxndxnAve

We take the very real life experience & unfoldment of the question -  Is what I’m feeling mine? And discuss it in length in this very episode. Often taking on and absorbing energy that is not yours can feel overwhelming, confusing & disorientating and hard to pinpoint because it isn’t something we can see with our eyes or go into our logic about. It’s a feeling. So the hardest thing to do as an Empath is to discern what is yours and what is other. Things we cover: How impacted we can be as Empaths by external energies, work, people, news, social media etc. Energetic Boundaries & Self Care and how sometimes as an Empath you can be doing all the things and still be affected. Environmental Impacts Group dynamics Intergenerational trauma - processing and transmuting as an Empath The importance of finding your center & learning to understand yourself What are the red flags that can point to you taking on something that is not yours Emotional reactivity - Regulating your emotions & nervous system Importance of Checking in with yourself and reflecting on your interactions and how people and situations made you feel Practice asking yourself - Is this mine? Finding a reference points for what it feels like to be in your center Who you spend time with matters How being an Empath can make you feel out of control in this world The importance of connecting to your feeling body and getting out of the head and becoming ok with feeling We share our some of our tools and methods when it comes to navigating connections to others & managing your energies How we have the power within us to heal ourselves Holding Space for others - Holding Space for yourself Follow Autmn Rains IG: @autmnrains Spotify: Autmn Rains  Website: https://www.autmnrains.com Email: [email protected] Follow Annalie IG: @annalie1111 Spotify: Annalie Website: www.centredconnections.com Email: [email protected] Music, Mix & Master by @Lxndxnave

Throughout our journeys we have come across many Creatives and Empaths who may struggle to embrace their sensitive self causing inner conflict, overwhelm, feeling helpless, alone confused & frustrated. Some might identify with either being a Creative or Empath and some both. We discovered quickly after meeting that these 2 things were indeed interconnected. Learning from one another & encouraging each other to widen the scope of our own identity only enhanced our connection to self which led to discovering our beautiful gifts within. Please note: Trigger warning, we do discuss mental health and suicide in this episode Things we cover: Who are we? Our deepest intentions for creating this podcast. How this podcast was inspired by our hearts & our own individual journeys.
