Dear Empath with Gus Baxter

On today's episode, I am challenging your ideas around comparative thought. Specifically, I want to talk about the emotional expression of Greed. This emotion gets a very bad rap, but it's one that has played an important role in our survival. When Greed treated with respect and love, it will share some wonderful lessons with us. Join me on this episode to learn more about Greed, how it is vilified, and what information we can learn from Greed.

On today's episode, I explore empathic patience and how to support others on their healing journey. I want you to throw away your ideas about patience and what it means to be a "patient person." Empathic patience is an action and it is multifaceted. Join me for this discussion this week on how to use your empathy to support others.

On today's episode, we are taking responsibility for ourselves and how we help others. When we stretch ourselves thin and over-exert our energy, we fail to help anyone. Taking care of yourself is the first step in being able to be present and loving towards others. Join me as I walk you through three boundaries to set up that facilitate your own health and healing first.

Today we are combining two of my favorite things: tarot cards and journaling. Together, these tools help you access the voice of your inner self-coach by focusing on what you see. Unlike reading tarot, where you focus on traditional card meaning, when you use tarot for journaling, you focus on the personal significance of the images and symbols in front of you. To help you get started, I have published a FREE 20 page ebook called, "Tarot Journaling: A Beginner's Reference to Guided Journaling." You can download this for FREE at www.patreon.com/atlasreadings.

Let's dig into self-coaching! This is a mental back-and-forth that you engage in all the time, I promise. On today's episode, I explore using a journal as a direct way to access the voice of your inner self-coach whenever you want. I discuss the benefits of journaling, how writing allows you to access a meditative or daydream-like state, and how all of this combined gives you wonderful access to your self-coach, your inner voice of reason.

Journaling is one of the least expensive, most accessible, and personal forms of self-healing. On today's episode, I start this miniseries by discussing the benefits of a general journaling practice. 10-15 minutes of writing, mapping, or sketching can create a cascade of positive benefits. This introduction will help you get started with your own journaling practice and help you throw away any pre-conceived notions about what journaling is. Next week, I will continue this series with part 2: Journaling as Self-Coaching.
