Energetic Weather

There is always some sort of weather happening, in the literal world and in the metaphysically energetic world.

Empaths feel both types of weather very keenly.

I cannot speak for all empaths, but I love a rainy day. I love snow. I love cool breezes. I love sunny spring days and I love surprisingly chilly summer nights. I also love the joy of children, the sense of fulfillment that some grandparents get from spending time with their grandchildren, the overwhelming sense of honor that adoptive parents feel after a long struggle to offer themselves up as a family. I love compatible, romantic matches, and tolerant, appreciative friendships. I love when people correctly realize when it is time to walk away, and when it isn't.

There are also things I don't like. I don't like acres of mowed grass. I prefer small lawns for a game of Croquet or Bocce, pathways and permaculture. I don't like clearcut logging. I want old trees to be highly respected. I don't like soulless science. I don't like greedy capitalism. I don't like abuse of any kind.

Not everyone feels the same things the same way. Some people love to sunbathe on shadeless beaches, while others might prefer sking, or scuba diving, or spelunking, or bike riding, or hiking. We can't judge another person's happiness for them, they have to tell us these things. On the other hand, when the geese begin to fly south we know that winter is on its way. We can see the signs and we can feel the chill in the air.

Energetic weather isn't exactly about preferences, although it may seem so to some. Energetic weather is a lot like literal weather, you might like it, you might not, but there it is. Some try to manipulate weather, literal and energetic. To a degree they feel that they are succeeding. Since energy can be manipulated there are those that desire to harness it, and in many ways they can, but energy also has a mind of its own. Empaths involuntarily measure the unharnessed energies, literal and metaphysical. Just as it isn't too difficult to predict the arrival of winter, so it isn't too difficult to predict generalities in metaphysical weather. The specifics are more tricky. To say how many inches of snow will be coming is a much greater skill, that no one I am aware of has perfectly mastered yet.

What I have been leading up to is this, there is a metaphysical storm front on the horizon. This is not a maybe. The cold front and the warm front are building and affecting each other. The sky is a peculiar color. One is torn between a desire to stay out in the open and watch the mesmerizing display, or seek shelter immediately. Most are seeking shelter. Oddly, it is the introverts who are still out and about, seemingly oblivious to the herd mentality. The hotheads and the healers are also still able to be seen, perhaps representative of the hot and cold energies, perhaps even feeling a surge of uncommon vitality.

What sort of storm is brewing? Are there tornado warnings? High wind cautions? Will there be flash floods? Will the air be charged and cleansed?

The first big drops start to fall, just after the lightning strikes a tree in the distance. A sense of wonder and relief and fear is upon us.
