‘Shape shifting’ sounds like a fictional thing, straight from the movies – like Mystique from X-Men does. But mirroring and mimicking your spouse is a very common thing in behavioural science. Partners can even start looking like each other physically – so be careful you don’t become like siblings (in many ways). Thus if empaths could feel and absorb someone else’s energy, it wouldn’t be a weird thing if they could become someone else, right? Even if it was just for a little while. Like she did, Amanda Flaker, an empath that I knew from YouTube.
Amanda Flaker
She really opened up my eyes about being an empath, when I discovered her on YouTube. Amanda Flaker told things, and I started to realize that I was a true empath. And by ‘true empath’ I mean like those who can experience things other than ‘just being empathetic’ towards other people; other than being able to listen to people and to understand their feelings. Amanda told about her experiences, and I recognized them, as my own. Like bypassing your energy to other people, creating/holding energy grids (so that people can experience them), astral projection – you name it. In a way I was coming home; I started to understand who I was.
Perfect Shape
Even though I show a lot of respect for Amanda, this blog is not about her in particular – but I do want to recommend her videos, and I do want to mention that I had a nice coaching session with her once. Thing is, in one of her videos she is telling that she had used one of her powers/gifts in order to lose weight. According to her she had been struggling with her weight – like many people do. But since she was an empath, she discovered that she could tune in to other people in order to become them in a way. And because she had a great and good-looking friend, who could eat whatever she wanted to – but stayed in perfect shape -, she decided to tune in to her. In particular to that part which made her look thin and fit.
Losing weight
So she focussed on her for some months, a few times per week. And even though she would have been happy with the loss of some kilograms, she actually lost so many kilos (like 14 or so; she considered herself a bit chubby) that she felt weird about it – she didn’t feel like herself. People were amazed, but finally she told herself that 5 or 6 kilos less, would be enough. So she stopped with that as final result – very delighted.
I consider it a great story, and it made me think about the whole topic, to be honest. But I hadn’t used this skill yet – at least not in such a way, more in an energy reading way – until I subconsciously did something very similar. And it has to do with someone else I knew from some YouTube videos: Magenta Pixie.
Magenta Pixie
Magenta considers herself a spiritual channel (for a collective of consciousness and intelligence) and an indigo child. For those who aren’t familiar with the latter: indigo children are supposed to be on a clear mission to shake up and shift our reality, our modern world. According to some theories they are not one to negotiate, since they are so certain in their views and ways. In fact, they are often rebellious and skeptic of those in power. And coupled with their big-picture vision and restless soul, drive for change, they become easily frustrated with society and others who are not shifting quickly enough.
Grounded & Empowered
Indigo children are normally part of the generation that was born from 1995 and onwards. But Magenta Pixie is way older, and considers herself an indigo child from the very first generation. It’s just a detail, but more important for my story: once, I was watching one of her videos, and I noticed that I felt really grounded and empowered while watching it. Also the colour indigo came up to my mind. In fact, after watching her video I was still able to sense this grounding and empowering energy, when I visualised this colour and energy in one of my chakra’s. The whole thing caught even more of my attention, since I was actually feeling a bit nervous, anxious before watching her video. But being in contact with that indigo energy, this nervous feeling had disappeared. And I was feeling more grounded and empowered.
Indigo Energy
I was surprised, and because of the whole experience I wondered: was I able to become a bit of an indigo child myself, simply because I could feel and absorb Magenta’s energy? I don’t consider myself a pure-blooded indigo child at all, but it made sense to me – being an empath myself. So I came up with an idea, also because at some point I felt like helping one of my sisters, by offering her a session. I had done some sessions before for my sister, but this time I wanted to share some of ‘my indigo energy’ with her. And she was open to the idea, since she had always been happy and greatful when I did a session for her.
Prayed For Help
To make a long story short: I believe the session helped her with dealing with my mom’s situation, when my mom was still alive. My mom was suffering from dementia, but she was still living on her own. My sister was giving my mom a great deal of help back then (she really looked after her) and she was worried about her – she felt as if our mom had become a bit of a child, who was left alone when she (my sister) had to go home herself. It was too much work for her (even though my other sister was helping too), and she prayed for help.
Coincidence
I didn’t know about these prayers (I was still living in Spain, and my brother-in-law told me later), I only had felt that I wanted to offer my sister another session – this time with some of the indigo energy included, to share. Now I don’t want to boost my ego at all, by saying that sharing this energy caused the following – actually far from it, ’cause a prayer in itself can be very powerful, and I believe there were more spiritual guides involved; spreading their energy & light around, and giving a loving hand. But it was a bit of a lovely coincidence that five days after my session or so, my sister received some great news that my mother was able to move to a nursing home, while she had been waiting for a spot for many months. My sister’s prayers had apparently been answered.
Co-creation
The way I look at it, is that apart from all the divine help my sister received, she might have felt this indigo energy as well. And as said before, I have noticed that this energy can be really grounding and empowering. So once she had felt this energy, she might have absorbed some of its universal essence in order to feel more grounded and empowered herself. In her case: to feel more calm and less worried. In terms of ‘The Secret’: to experience those feelings first, in order to manifest something accordingly. So I would say that my sister co-created this new situation for my mom, which was good for both my mom and herself. Funny thing from my perspective: I was about to move back to The Netherlands – like in a month -, and consequently I co-created this (temporary) place to live on my own: my mom’s house. Talking about grounding.
On A Mission
It was all amazing, I have to say. And in conclusion I would just like to mention that I apparently had ‘shape shifted’ into an indigo child – or at least that I am able to connect with that kind of energy. I do have to say that I feel more and more that I am supposed to be on a mission to shake up and shift our reality, our modern world, like indigo children do. But let me stay closer to my empath’s nature first and foremost, and tune in to some happy places and inspiring people. And no, not to lose some weight and get that sixpack I once kinda had. Although it would be funny, right?
