\"\"<\/a>At the beginning of the year I asked to have more patience. There are a few \u2018reactions\u2019 that I have that I don\u2019t like and I want to change them. For me, that process begins by first acknowledging and second setting out the intention to create change.<\/p>\n

As a Clairvoyant, this process sets a chain reaction in motion. I start to see and gather information that informs whatever it is that I am consciously working on as I search for the root or core of the issue at hand. This is actually what makes my work so unique. I’m never satisfied with just the surface information, I want to understand \u00a0the why and to see the life lesson that we are working on.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s transpired with this has been fascinating. I have always been aware that we mirror people \u2013 we mirror their personalities and we also mirror their energy, but what I\u2019m seeing is that my \u2018reactions\u2019 are mostly me mirroring back the energy of the person I am dealing with.<\/p>\n

For example when something is bothering Caidin he can get a little mean. He says things that can be quite cutting. My reaction can be to get angry with him. What I am realizing is that I am mirroring the energy he is experiencing. I\u2019m not actually angry with him. So now, when these situations come up, I\u2019m conscious of this dynamic and I\u2019m using them to release and shift this \u2018mirroring\u2019 behavior.<\/p>\n

Looking back I realize that Caidin also does this, he mirrors my behavior. I remember being at a The Children\u2019s Film Festival in Brooklyn and I thought I lost my wallet. I began to panic as I was looking for it and as soon as I began to panic, Caidin became difficult. He was mirroring my panic. I can think back to many times when this was the case \u2013 his \u2018reaction\u2019 was a mirror of what I was experiencing.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s both interesting and helping information to have because it not only allows me to create change for myself, it also allows me to help Caidin see and understand where he holds this dynamic.<\/p>\n

One big piece of Conscious Living is about searching for the \u2018why and how\u2019, not just accepting that the way things are, are the way they are.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s led me to do a little research about this \u2018mirroring\u2019 dynamic and there is one school of thought that attributes it to a \u2018generation\u2019 of Spirits on the planet. Most are young, but some came in as scouts and guides years ago in order to help this new generation once they arrived. The information resonated with me.<\/p>\n

In the coming days, as your child is reacting to something, take a step back (in the moment if you can, or after the fact if you can\u2019t) and see if there was a matching component. You can also do the same for your own \u2018reactions\u2019, maybe you too hold this ability.<\/p>\n
