Here’s something I hope will help those who are emotionally struggling. I encourage you to set aside some time for yourself to watch the documentary style movie on YouTube, Sensitive: The Untold Story. If nothing else, it may help you understand your sensitive family or friends.
Spiral thought: I have several posts to publish, but I’ve been slow in getting them out because I’ve been diving back into writing my 5th book. In picking through some of the research I have had in my reading/watching queue for over a year, I had this one. Thus, I felt it would be good to push it out (in front of the other articles) and get it to you today.
Watch Sensitive: The Untold Story
I wish I had watched this sooner. It features one of my favorite musical artists, Alanis Morissette.
I’ve loved Alanis for years, since Jagged Little Pill came out in 1995. Ironically, or synchronistically, a few months after I left my second husband. I probably could have guessed that she’s a prime example of a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). In the midst of my emotional roller coaster, her songs were the gentle balm to help me heal, along with a LOT of therapy, group, individual, and self-help. Thank Omniscience God, I pulled through.
A dear friend of mine (whom I’ve known for years), Jen Carey, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, moved from Florida to Massachusetts (a few years ago) and offers professional counseling services. She understands the Sensitive person. If you’re struggling and feel you need to reach out to someone personally, Jen is available via phone and video conference. Most of us know when we’ve pushed beyond our depths, but even if you’re not sure, you may want to reach out for a conversation with Jen:
Willowdale Professional Offices 205 Willow Street Unit A-3-A South Hamilton, MA 01982
Jen’s book, Illuminating the Stories That Bind Us is available on Amazon!! Check it out here and break through the stories between you and your joy!
Do you have a story that is holding you back? Write in to be apart of my ‘Letters To Jen’ advice project! Or, if you’d like to dive deep: become a guest on Jen’s podcast. Both options are free. Learn more about Jen and her work here.
Integrating the Spirals
I’m encouraging those “over 60” to open to lifelong learning (observe and gently question their pre-conceived beliefs, aka ‘Programming’), become more aware of their thoughts and emotions, consistently move their bodies (too many are stuck in their heads and physically unhealthy), become strong, and resilient in spirit, soul, mind, body. And to question EVERYTHING!
Yours in consciousness-expansion as we evolve and revolve during our mystical awakening. All while doing-my-egoless-best, to take you on a limitless, spiraling thought ride to better health, through doing more with ease, to help us sustain the JOY in our lives! (With lots of Gratitude throughout.)

Getting to the heart and soul of, Integrating the Spirals™ and why I share so much. If you would rather listen instead of read, play the audio:
Breathe. Breathe with me in. Follow the breath. All through your lungs front to back, side to side and let it out very slowly.
Good morning. Good afternoon. Good evening wherever you are in the world.
Why do I share sooo much??? I’m not trying to change anyone!
I’ve been there
After all the counseling, Coda, AA (Al-Anon), Nar-Anon, Trauma Resolution Therapy (TRT), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Past Life Regression Therapy, and now, Near Death and Share Death Experience (NDE and SDE) work I’ve been doing, I can sooo feel into people’s stories (experiences)!
In a perfect world, no one would take advantage of Empaths or Sensitives, but alas we are where we are and all we can do is our PART. Why? Because we are each a fractal of Omniscience and as one ray of sunshine wouldn’t judge another ray of sunshine for being a different frequency/color, or length, or strength, we are who we are. Dogs are dogs and cats are cats. As long as we remember this and do not try to change the dog to a cat or cat to a dog, the more peaceful life we can live. Love whatever forward motion steps in the progression of your life that you can make, not so you can change/save/perfect others, but so you can GROW your soul!
I can FEEL into your SOUL – part 1I can FEEL into your SOUL – part 2
Peace to the heart
A dear friend of ours who crossed over to the Grand Beyond several years ago always said these words to us instead of ‘Goodbye’, ‘See ya later’, or ‘Catch ya later, alligator.” He would say, ‘Peace to the heart.’ I loved that! And I started saying it too. Not to everyone, but to special friends–mostly friends who knew him. When we attended his funeral I recorded it. And I listened to the recording recently. It made me smile to remember the way he impacted the lives of his friends. We miss him but then when we say, the words he taught us, ‘Peace to the heart” we smile and it soothes us.
I see your soul
When I meet with kindred spirits in the Integrating the Spirals course sessions, I listen to each intently because I know what it’s like to have my voice squelched. I know what it feels like when someone doesn’t listen to me or even let me speak. So, you will always be HEARD. I love listening to your stories and heartaches. It allows me the divine privilege to see your SOUL. And growing our soul is of utmost importance because that is what we take with us to the Other Side (when we go). Growing our beautiful butterfly-like soul is what our spirit longs to do! Of course, few have even glimpsed what that means. Few have glimpsed the Other Side of The Veil.
Join me Sunday 6/11/2023: Integrating the Spirals – Session 1
Our first FREE Integrating the Spirals Zoom call will be Sunday from 1pm to 3pm Eastern time zone (New York USA time). If you want to join, let me know. If anyone recognizes this Energy exchange, tips are welcome at: PayPal.Me/SheilaMurrey but please give no more than is comfortable for you, recognizing we are all in a different place financially. I’ll send you the Zoom call info when you register by sending your email to me at: sheila(dot)murrey(at)gmail(dot)com – I think you know how to replace the (dot) with a period and (at) with the @ sign to make that work. No spam (neither to you or to me). Wink!
Connecting
Working the Integrating the Spirals™ DE-Program Session 1 will be all about how to get started integrating what you’ve already bought, and connecting with our ancestors (and what do if you don’t know who your ancestors are).
It’s a big topic, and why we need two hours. But don’t worry, We’ll do three 40-minute calls to keep Zoom happy and to have nature/restroom breaks. Depending upon how many want to join, I may buy Zoom again (I used to have it but class sizes dwindled), thus they hold me to 40 minutes. Usually people start to get tired after 40-minutes anyway. Again, we’ll see how this goes.

Using highly resonating words to empower ourselves and others
Launching the beginning of 2020, WORDPLAY to Empowerment is a new method and play-shop (a fun workshop class) developed by Sheila Murrey, self-help author of Transform Your Life! Inspirational Stories and Expert Advice (2014. Transformation Publishing); The Energy of Receiving (2015. Happiness Publishing); and Take It Upon Yourself to Live a Wholly Vibrant Life! (2018. Self.)
The WORDPLAY to Empowerment play-shop class shares a writer’s method specifically designed to ease one into feeling: better, balanced, supported, and stronger—one thought and word at a time. Plus, it can’t hurt!
Impetus for creation
In working alongside entrepreneurs and small business owners on copy and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for their websites, I discovered that a real need exists for wellness providers to become aware and more conscious of the words they speak, and put into their copy, websites, blogs, etc.
I’ve also been doing a lot (for years), to sort of play with words on a vibrational level, as demonstrated in Facebook comments, Tweets, T-shirt designs, blog articles, and more. You may have noticed how I used the word “Wholly” in the title of my recent book, instead of the more straightforward words of “Holy” or “Whole” to play off those words and create more curiosity.
Thus, I developed the first workshop to test out my intuitive leaning into all of this. A writer speaks: Words Workshop has been rebranded.
I am thrilled to release this now as, WORDPLAY to Empowerment.
The goals of this engaging play-shop are to help us:
Release WORDS that no longer serve us (or our business)
Add uplifting, inspiring. and empowering WORDS to our daily vocabulary (and marketing copy)
Those looking for new and innovative ways to treat health conditions
Raise our consciousness
Raise and Connect the consciousness of ALL
Audience:
Wellness practitioners and business owners, nurses, teachers, and parents. Anyone interested in Energy, Frequency, Vibration, Consciousness, Alternative health, Holism, or natural ways to improve one’s health and mindset.
The workshop that became a Method
The focus of the method is to:
Release the WORDS that no longer serve us, such as, low frequency cuss words, (notice when we use these words – typically when we’re angry, upset, or in pain; we often overuse, unnecessary words, or those said because we think we need to fill empty space.
Playfully identify the words we consistently USE and what our intention is when we speak them. We’ll specifically listen for the tone we use because that carries the frequency (Love = Creation, or Fear = “to destroy” / curse).
Engagement
Participants are inspired and encouraged to PLAY in this interactive class (where the facilitator will be using a whiteboard and 3×5 index cards).
This will be an empowering exercise in Awareness, by a writer with over 33 years of career experience and two degrees, both in science (aviation business) and art (visual communications).
Uniquely connect
Together, we’ll use unique ways to explore how we can replace the lower vibration words we often use, with higher vibrating and more purposeful words, (which hold our deeper truths), to uplift and empower ourselves and others to raise our consciousness. This work benefits ALL.
Word mining
We’ll mine for energetic words that resonate higher (and actively reach into the ether) to become aware of the empowering CHOICES we have when it comes to improving our lives using authentically powerful words.
Improves speaking
Yes, voice matters in multitudinous ways.
We’ll spend some time playing and feeling the way in which our newly found, high frequency words FEEL when we speak them. This will allow us to fine tune the way in which we will deliver these words and the best feeling tone we will use (both to ourself and others) going forward.
Finding and using the best tone, when speaking these new words, will amplify the effects. You’ll be amazed!
Bonus!
We will uncover brilliant SEO keywords to expand our reach in the Mind, Body, Spirit, Soul Internet space. Yes, words that will not only empower you, but words that genuinely express who you are! These takeaways will become tangible ways for you and your technical team to upgrade your marketing copy and reach more potential clients!

Well, as a highly sensitive person (HSP) and empath, I just learned today that, “You are only upset about someone else’s disturbance when you CONNECT with the negative Energy of their experience”! ❤️🦋🌀
It seems simple.
It seems I have heard something like that before. Or that at my age, I should have known that. Hmmm. I will meditate on that statement (sit with it) for a few days, and then update this post.
UPDATE: Be the change I wish to see in the world. Healing. Healed. Yes, I desire peace. And that’s why it is important for me to heal my wounds, past traumas, and triggers.
Would you like to share what you think this statement means?
“You are only upset about someone else’s disturbance when you CONNECT with the negative Energy of their experience.”
Why are you upset?
Choice
I know why I’m upset if someone does or says something TO me, and I know it’s my choice as to how I react. Some people laugh stuff off, but not me. I take stuff seriously. Ugh!
I know it’s my choice about how I react to external situations, but sometimes the emotions overwhelm me to the point that my logic doesn’t work. I use EFT to calm myself during those times, but I would prefer to feel less upset, especially when whatever the situation is has NOTHING to do with me!
It’s always a question of choice – ALL ways.
Until today, I couldn’t figure out why I let other people’s negative experiences bother me. When someone is sad or hurting, I empathize.
Why choice? It’s human nature to struggle for our independence. Even my twin granddaughters (who love each other very much), fuss and fight because each wants to live an independent life.
Why today?
I listened to Alania Starhawk’s lunchtime Facebook Live message and the statement in the image above just dropped into my mind!
Yes, whatever triggers a negative emotion in me, was already IN me! And at the moment of sensing the trigger, I have the ability to become conscious. When I am consciously aware, I can choose to soothe the past trauma or wound and make a better choice!
I’ve got this! And so do you.
We Are All Connected. OM
Many blessings to you in ALL ways.

Just before the New Year, I had the immense pleasure of doing a bit of “pre-paving” for my future by attending Dr. Alison J. Kay’s, “Your Sensitivity Is Your Power” tele-call series. And wowee!! It was super-charged!
The benefits
So, what happened after I attended the tele-call series?
I gained a clarity of my own personal power. Almost like I was stepping up a staircase of emotional well-being and balance! Yes, I accepted an invitation from the Universe to step up my personal power by being on these calls, and I’m the better for it!
I’m sensitive
Overly concerned with other people’s drama?
As a sensitive type of person–in my life having been known as one to cry easily, become overly concerned with other people’s dramas, or get easily overwhelmed, I noticed each day after the tele-call experience, I felt lighter, happier, and less concerned with other people’s “stuff” going on around me!
Sometimes, I tend to feel as though I am carrying the burden of other people so much, that I prefer not to interact with others at all. Much of those feelings lifted after the tele-call series for me, and continue to lift as time goes on.
Traits of empaths
People used to tell me they knew I was naturally empathic. Dr. Kay explained empaths and their traits in great detail during the tele-call series. She let us know how each of us could use our gift of empathy to give us more ease and comfort day-to-day. We learned how to use our sensitive side without losing our sense of self.
The work
After each tele-call, I began to practice any/all of the following each day–whenever any difficult situation or conversation would occur:
Mentally ask myself, “Is this mine?” And, if I knew it was NOT my problem, then I would mentally state, “Return to sender with grace, ease, and love attached, or I would simply state, “Send ’em love” (learned previously, but not practiced much) to really feel the vibrations emanating from my heart (the invisible intelligence Dr. Wayne Dyer used to speak of) going out to the person, lifting my feelings about whatever was going on.
Breathe – really breathe, even take an extra walk as needed, climb stairs, stretch, or meditate. Then at my office desk, self soothe with my Young Living essential oils, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Jin Shin Jyutsu (JSJ), and/or Yamuna Body Rolling — using one ball behind my back and/or putting my bare feet on the foot wakers under my desk. (This has also has enabled me to share these modalities with others when they would ask what I was doing–Yay!)
Distance myself when my inner being tells me, re-soundly, that right NOW (in THIS moment), this person or place is not good for me (or I am not good for others in this space). I honor, respect, and love myself enough, to walk away and go to another place where I can feel good!
Set boundaries. I can choose whether–whatever is happing in this moment–conflicts with what I’ve previously written about (to “Be open to receive”) and to know that I am allowed also, to receive or not. Must I receive all and filter? Must I receive bad to receive good? Maybe. But, I have the power to choose that for myself.
Expand my energy – Each morning include in my meditation to go into my awareness and expand it outward to my family, my circle of influence, neighbors, local community, state, region, country, continent, and world. Celebrate the knowing of others via Twitter, Facebook, my blogs, etc. whom live in other countries. Celebrate this knowing of WE ARE ALL CONNECTED. This is true.
Empower myself. Indeed, put my cape on! 😉 Be my authentic self. Act on the truth that my inner being resonates with, i.e. when I feel my “God bumps”. I even signed up for Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith’s Life Visioning class, no doubt because of how powerful I felt after completing Dr. Kay’s tele-call series! How does it get any better than this? Yay! And later, I signed up for Yamuna classes (see this Examiner article I wrote) to learn about “Body Rolling”.
Though I know, I don’t act like it.It is never necessary to be the victim. I am not trapped. I always have a choice. I break any DNA, biological, mental, or spiritual chains that could have come through my lineage and blood. In the name of our Limitless, Ever-Living, Omniscient, Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Pulsating, Be-ing, Creator Source God who IS the Energy that holds the Universe together. Beyond what we can see. Beyond what we now know. Faith IS the substance of things not yet seen.
Empaths have our own level of sensitivity, level of awareness, unique energetic healing modalities, and spiritual gifts to share with the world! I am ready to share mine!
Clearing the past
The tele-call sessions withDr. Alison J Kay and her empowering messages and clearings, transformed past (even something that happened a moment ago is “the past”) shame of negative actions–allowing me to consciously “let go” of negative limiting thoughts, acknowledging that forgiveness is a daily process. I knew the pain I felt in my body were the cells of my body (scientist Candace Pert proved cells hold memories) calling out for me to transcend and know that really everything IS okay!
Dr. Kay’s clearings tuned me in and provided me with different verbiage to explain to myself, and to you in this post, what had been happening. Healing is an ongoing PROCESS!
How it builds up
Everyday life causes certain connections to occur:
The neighbor who may or may not smile at me when I step outside. That person doesn’t know me.
The store clerk that serves me may ask, “Did you find everything okay?” without really meaning it.
The restaurant owner’s son, who while ignoring us, scolded an employee (the employee was actually attempting to seat us) for not following proper procedures. He didn’t realize they would lose a customer by behaving that way in front of us, instead of just seating us–they could train their staff in private later!
The soldier (police, firefighter, teacher, or other public servant) who is just “doing their job” without considering the moral choices he or she actually has.
We really can get better
Many of us abdicate our ability to choose and lose a moment (or more) of happiness and joy forourselves and others. And we can help others – we really can! If we’re in better shape emotionally, mentally, and physically, we can change the world! And why is that important? Because We Are All Connected!
The energies and what I learned during Dr. Alison J. Kay’s tele-call series for sensitives continues to free me. The time spent on her calls FELT sooo good, not just for a short time, but weeks later.
About Dr. Alison J. Kay
Meditation and yoga teacher Dr. Alison J. Kay, offers weekly group telephone calls, online video-conferencing (Google Hangout), and private sessions where you can learn about meditation techniques. She teaches yoga classes too! Her group fitness classes include: yoga, mind-body, and core-strengthening.
Dr. Alison J. Kay studied in the east, Asia and India and thoroughly knows and understands the basis of the placebo effect (using several modalities, including meditation) and it’s relationship basis of subtle energy.
The tele-call series gave me hope for all of us to continue on our journey, learning and growing every day. To me, there is no such thing as “false hope”. Hope is hope. Because FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of things not yet seen.
I invite you to continue opening your mind to learning about something new in 2016 and beyond. You are never to old to be open to receive new and helpful information.
Be ye blessed in ALL ways.
Amen. Namaste. OM
