One World in a New World with Laura Donnelly – Author, Flow Coach, Podcast Host
An Apocalyptic Chat with host, Zen Benefiel, MA, MBA, Transformational Coach (https://BeTheDream.com)
We often refer to the ‘dance of life’ metaphorically, though as an empath, Laura’s story is much more real world. Opening the exploration, Laura peers into her past as a budding dancer, hoping for opportunities to grow in her ability and be nutured by her director.
Now her intuitive sight and wisdom from her own ‘dance of life’ offers future generations the ability to create the choreography for their dance. The invisible hand creates some nice choreography for our conversation, especially in the latter half.
As we explore further, Laura recounts an event when she was nine and arriving home, stepping out of the car, and feeling like she got hit by a wave of energy that startled her for a moment. Along with it came the awareness that nothing would ever be the same.
The conversation circles around sensitivity to energy, empathic capacity, and how we process the subtle and not-so-subtle sensations. It’s noted that in prior generations, boomers and older, there was no open conversations even though it was obvious family members had certain sensitivities beyond the norm, or perhaps they didn’t a everyone was fairly oblivious to the subtle energy fields.
As one might suspect, the notion of ‘fitting in’ is explored a bit more in depth. Laura reflects on her grandparents being born just prior to the turn of the 20th century and how people with heightened sensitive simply had to fit in.
Today, there’s more openness, yet acceptance and exploration is still in its infancy. Hopefully conversations like this helps the shift along.
Laura reveals that the nature of a sensitive is to take everything on without distinction. Learning how to discern which is ours and which is others naturally sets up boundaries.
She shares it wasn’t until her late 30s and early 40s that her ability to move down the road and letting go of feeling responsible for that which really wasn’t hers.
She realized it wasn’t her responsibility to prevent other’s challenges. She speaks to the garnered awareness that we can inspire and invite others to consider an alternative path, yet choices are only in how we respond.
Others will succeed or suffer depending on their choice to continue or change their dance with life, literally and metaphorically.
What are you trying to fix that isn’t yours to fix? Is your reality full of things needing to be fixed? Laura shares a story about a photographer friend that shared a pearl of wisdom that certain applies to the scenario.
The conversation continues in the normal circuitous and often tangential style that provide apocalyptic moments for all. Explore the depth and tune in more in your own life.
