My beloved sister – It bears mentioning, I think, that when one commits to living in one’s own integrity, and therefore shifts patterns in her own life – it can be expected that others will have their own opportunity to shift. You have spoken of this before, of course. This means that very often there is a period of adjustment in relationships where commitment to one’s self and one’s health is now primary – where before it was secondary. People get used to your being a certain way, in other words, and when you change – the change is very often viewed with anger and blame. We must not give in and give up, just because others are uncomfortable with who we are. We must allow others their reaction to our changes. This can be a difficult thing to do, but it must be done. We cannot help others unless first we help ourselves. If we are more committed to helping others than we are to helping ourselves, we will not only become ill possibly but we will also very likely be taken advantage of. – I completely agree with you that when we feel an energy pull or drain – we must instantly be aware of it and adjust to change our vibration in order to stop the drain. Energetic adjustments are a necessary, daily part of being healthy, in my opinion. Of course, you speak of this as well. Being attuned to what my body and my health, both mental/emotional/spiritual as well as physical, needs is all the responsibility in the world I have. If/when I have “extra” to give to others, I will joyfully and gladly give it. But I will attend to myself first. – This is a very exciting time and year! Happy Blessed 2015!!!
