In the 16th century, St. John of the Cross wrote a poem describing the soul’s journey on its spiritual road with regard to the quest for a perfect union with God that can be achieved in this lifetime. It was called the dark night due to the hardships, struggles and difficulties the soul goes through to purge itself of the material world. And while some days the struggle will be difficult, it won’t be so bad that you want to end things as would be the case in clinical depression. The soul stays strong even in the darkest times and pulls us through in order to emerge out into the light. The dark night of ...
Emotional overwhelm
ARE YOU STRUGGLING TO MOVE ON?
Everyone heals at different times after a break up due to many factors such as the length of the relationship, having children, betrayal and so on and as no two relationships are the same you cannot set a time for the healing process.

My big awakening, however, happened last year where many of the lightworkers were brought ‘online’ to seek the truth and help the world and humanity to ascend to a higher ...
The Empath and the Narcissist
Empaths are emotional, gentle and super nurturing people. They feel the very soul of a person and have a strong desire to help others. They have the ability to feel another person’s pain and emotional hurt which can be both a blessing and a curse. A narcissist is the opposite, lacking the ability to feel emotions or care about anyone else. They are able to copy and fake emotions in order to get their own way and they play the victim well which triggers a response in the empath to help them, feel sorry for them and keep them in a cycle of torment. This can be very difficult to break free ...
