5 years ago I was diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder, depression & I was also experiencing an eating disorder that no one knew anything about; night eating.
 
While I was miserable in experiencing all the symptoms of post traumatic stress, an anxiety disorder & depression - which often accompanies anxiety disorders; I was overjoyed in finally finding out what was wrong with me!

welcome!

Why would someone spend 1000's of hours designing & keeping up these websites to offer free information to others?

I have to reply - "You're absolutely right! It does take many, many hours each day to work on these sites. I'm a mother, a wife & an individual who has tons of personal work to do as well as the usual family responsibilities!
 
How would I find the time?
 
Why do I do it? I use the opportunity to combine my own recovery - personal growth journey with an important concept that I've made a commitment to:
 
"Helping yourself thru helping others..." 
 
I was so excited when after years of searching for the answer to my everyday question, "What's wrong with me?" that I felt determined to show others that if you don't quit & you know the path to take, you can find your answers as well!

welcome!

My immediate concern was "mental health." While I didn't know what was wrong with me, I did have one medical specialist tell me that my physical pain was due to a "mental problem."

 
I didn't quite understand it all, I was wallowing in many different symptoms of mental illness like panic attacks, severe anxiety & finally my eating disorder symptoms of waking up numerous times in the night to eat.
 
Just as you may have seen recently on either public service television commercials for depression or in your doctor's office waiting room; mental illness can manifest itself in physical symptoms that include many sources of discomfort. I was also experiencing the symptoms of "irritable bowel syndrome," that had started early on in my life.
 
So I started with the mental health site that now exists within the network:
 
 
(be sure to read the following description)

it's time to put the frosting on the cake!

I've reached a point in my own personal recovery & growth journey that I believe I can describe accurately most of the emotions & feelings within the emotional feelings network of sites without using any information from anyone else.
 
But since the ruination of the "extremely emotional" site - I had to stop & ask myself - remembering to be aware & mindful of what's happening in my present moment -
 
"Why did this happen to me?" (the unreasonable ruin of my site, of course!) 
 
or - Choosing to seek a positive return for a negative energy passing my way - what would the positive ramifications be of having to go through every single page of a network of 28+ sites to delete the links to my ruined site?
 
Geez... now that I think of it... I've asked myself that question quite a few times before... "Why did this happen to me?" & I searched & searched for an answer, wasting time & positive energy on something very simple... Life is what's happening. Just look to find the positive about it instead of the negative
 
This is what I am looking for now in all aspects of my life. I'm looking for the "positive" reasons things happen. I remember what I've learned from my past to be prepared to have to confront negativities with my re-gained "power & control" on my side now instead of the enemy; but I choose now to look upon the face of countenance instead of upheaval.
 
After pondering a few days on this subject, while going through every page of the emotional feelings site - here - to unlink all the emotion & feelings words "s" thru the end of the alphabet - I realized something magnificent.
 
"This is my opportunity to take the time to check ALL linked words to be sure they're being directed to the correct places. This is my opportunity to re-check spelling & grammar. This is my opportunity to try to express in my own words - the most meaningful knowledge I've recently acquired!
 
I'll write what I've learned about the whole cake, almost 6 years of growth - not just reveal a the first piece of the cake! - I still offer other author's works to explain situational inferences to emotions & feelings!
 
I'll try to the best of my ability to explain the importance of every emotion & feeling. I'm honored you chose the emotional feelings network of sites to visit!

dividing the truths about calm

Listen to your heart.

Our ability to hear & act on the information being sent from the heart, can make the difference in whether we experience life as a series of stressful events or one that's rich in quality. The heart provides information that can help us eliminate the mental & emotional drain caused by confusion, stress, overwhelm, anxiety & frustration.

Confusion is the inability to think w/your usual speed or clarity.

When confused, you'll also have difficulty focusing your attention & you may feel somewhat disoriented. Confusion interferes w/your ability to make decisions.

Writing assists you in putting aside your internal censor. It's important for you put aside any self-judgment when you begin to write.

Refrain from judging how "well" you're writing or the ideas that show up on the paper. Instead write to think, write for the fun of it, write to relieve confusion.

Sometimes the thinking mind can't access what the writing mind can.

what not to do when experiencing confusion....

alcohol....

have you been drinking alcohol to cope {self medicating is what you call it } with confusing emotions or feelings that you don't know what to do with?

Drinking the alcohol just makes the confusion fade away for a little while, doesn't it? - no, the confusion is still there - you just aren't thinking about it when you're drinking...

alcohol can affect the body physically in many many ways. it aslo affects the mind & thinking processes, causing a great amount of confusion of thoughts as well as adding to your life more confusion because of the poor choices made when under the influence of alcohol...

What are some other alcohol-related problems?

Psychiatric & emotional problems can include:

Regularly drinking too much alcohol also can cause major, even life-threatening, emotional & behavioral problems including:

  • Marital & family problems. People who drink heavily can have changes in moods & emotions, causing them to become angry & irritable

  • Personality changes: such as becoming suspicious, jealous, or possessive

  • The spouses, children & lovers of heavy drinkers find it hard to cope with these outbursts & changes

  • The stable routines of the household & family life are at risk.

  • Family members may also develop emotional problems.

  • The children are at high risk of becoming alcoholics as adults.

  • Acts of violence. All people who drink too much alcohol lose proper judgment.

  • As drinking problems become worse, arguing can lead to fighting, at home as well as at work & in social settings. Also, these arguments can lead to domestic violence, child abuse & the loss of job & friends.

  • A large percentage of violent crimes, child sexual abuse, assaults, & murders are related to alcohol abuse.

  • Vehicle accidents. Drunk drivers cause about half the deaths from vehicle accidents in the US.

Confused about how to move forward in life? Chicago author Sonia Choquette says, Just Trust Your Vibes  by Sonia Choquette

The first thing you need to do about developing your sixth sense, or psychic pathway, is forget everything you know — or think you know — about the sixth sense. You can’t go along w/5 sensory types who think that six-sensory people are crazy or just plain weird. You simply can’t lock the sixth sense out of your life.

Even Leonardo da Vinci, one of my all-time favorite six-sensory people, was considered a nut & a heretic by his five-sensory associates. Same goes for Thomas Edison & Walt Disney, among others.

Of course, the world has reconsidered & now recognizes these men as great creative, intuitive geniuses, but five-sensory people still regularly discount the sixth sense because their egos will do anything to stay in control. But instead of worrying that you’ll look like an oddball if you let on that you have vibes, be happy about it. This means that you’re progressing beyond the 5 sensory norm.

calmly dividing the information

And Trusting Your Vibes

If you want to trust your vibes, you must absolutely “get” that you have a psychic sixth sense that picks them up, even if it’s dormant right now.

Your sixth sense is your natural inner genius & even though you might not believe in it, it’s normal to be a spiritual being guided by the universe. Six-sensory, psychic people know this; non-psychic, five-sensory people don’t. So, if you want to live a higher way, stop doubting when your intuition speaks to you, stop ignoring your sixth sense when you feel it & start accepting & appreciating your vibes when they do activate.

Second thing, in order to have a six-sensory life, you must come up w/reasons to listen to your intuition. Intuitives like me know that listening to your vibes is practical, saves time & connects the dots of your life. It even improves relationships.

Best of all, trusting your vibes relieves you of worry; that alone should be enough of an incentive to get your sixth sense up & running.

calmly dividing the information

The good news is that today, as we march firmly into the New Age & science recognizes that the sixth sense is real, it’s much more modern & intelligent to get with it & learn to trust your vibes as natural gifts, rather than seeing them as alien.

What science & spiritual law now agree on is that each & every one of us is a six-sensory creature & everything in the universe is interconnected. We psychically influence each other at all times & those of us who live in a higher way know this as a fact & don’t question it.

Ray of Intuition

Let’s talk about a real-life example. One of my seminar students, a shy & somewhat introverted 46-year-old engineer named Raymond, was just beginning to open up to his intuition. He couldn’t quite believe it could actually show up & help. For months he joked w/his friends about how he'd like to avoid the dating scene, saying, “I’d just like to push a button & make my dream gal appear.”

calmly dividing the information

One day, heading to a business meeting at a local hotel, Raymond pushed the elevator’s “up” button. At his floor, the doors opened to the most attractive woman Raymond had ever seen. She was going to the same meeting. To his surprise, the attraction was mutual. Raymond’s vibes, in search of his heart’s desire, navigated him (a natural part of life we can all discover) to intercept her, but his mind struggled w/the outcome.

Reverting back to his old five-sensory rules, Raymond worried that his dream girl would go away just as strangely as she’d appeared. But Raymond missed the axiom that says, “90% of what we worry about doesn’t come true.” His dream girl didn’t abandon him. The couple is now engaged to be married. Raymond is learning.

Synchronicities are not flukes or random events. They’re intentional reflections of our intuition working w/the perfect order of all things in the unseen world.

It’s why fish swim upstream, birds fly south & bears hibernate. Everything in nature intuitively gravitates toward what best serves its growth & that includes the human race. The only difference is that we have the choice to follow our intuition or not. So if you want your sixth sense to work, stop resisting your vibes & change the rules you live by instead.

calmly dividing the information

As one intuitive friend of mine said to her very modern 85-year-old Jungian therapist, “I’m just afraid that I’ll seem too ‘woo-woo’ to my friends,” to which the therapist replied, “But my dear, don’t you realize that ‘woo-woo’ is where it’s at these days?”

I can’t imagine life w/out my vibes leading the way. I’m so accustomed to listening for inner guidance that I wouldn’t know how to direct myself without it. It would be like being blindfolded on a gorgeous day; why would I want to miss the beauty around me?

Those who are disconnected from their sixth sense are handicapped & unnecessarily so. Why would you purposely ignore a compass & map & wander in the dark?

I have a confession to make: The reasons for my campaigning here aren’t entirely selfless.

Have you ever been on a highway when someone enters & drives in the wrong direction, or goes well below the speed limit, or changes lanes sporadically because he’s afraid or doesn’t know where he’s going? It creates chaos & annoyingly throws everyone else out of sync.

calmly dividing the information

The same thing happens to a 6 sensory person like me living in a world filled with 5 sensory control freaks who are afraid to get in the flow. It breaks my stride, bogs me down & can be really irritating. So my roadster self is definitely invested in getting everyone up to speed so that I can travel the psychic highway without running into energy roadblocks or traffic jams.

I know this sounds selfish, but in truth, it isn’t. It feels great to get into the flow of life & go where I really want to be & I just want everyone else to join me there. If we're to evolve as a race & live together on this planet in any semblance of harmony, we need to overcome the fear that comes from following 5 sensory rules.

The only way to make this happen is to embrace spiritual law & connect lovingly to each other by using our 6th sense. Throwing away the very tool we need to do this leaves us in the Dark Ages.

You can continue to be held hostage by following 5 sensory laws & questioning or doubting your 6th sense, but sooner or later you’ll realize that the 6-sensory train to the future is going to great places. You may be left standing at the station.

Don’t worry if you’re afraid; it’s normal when you enter the unknown. You can be afraid & still evolve. It’s not feeling fear that stops you - after all, everyone feels fear at times - it’s hiding your fear that gets in the way. That concealment takes all of your energy & leaves none for enjoying your life. So make friends with your fear & then go for it!
