Reader Question:I am a person who constantly analyzes everything and believe I have had many angel signs and experiences in my life although my doubt always seems to have the last word. However, lately I seem to question everything and have a hard time being around people, to violence, loud noises, etc. What is going on? And, what can I do to get my lower self to pipe down?
~Lisa
Response from Eileen: Dear Lisa,

Your sensitivity to such things is actually a sign that you are raising the vibration of your mental, emotional, physical, and etheric energy bodies. This is actually a good thing happening, and the natural response is to want to avoid people, situations and news that disturbs you. That is actually your higher self, so let it guide you.

We cannot avoid unpleasantness all the time, nor should we. It is okay to allow yourself the distance from dysfunction. You're entitled to peace and calm. However, the planet, and every living thing on her, needs us to know of certain events and situations going on to either hold the space for healing, or take action to facilitate change.

Ask Mother Mary for Assistance

Archangel Michael says in order for us to take action to change certain things on the planet we have to be aware that it is going on. The trick is to not let it knock you down. Mother Mary is a wonderful being who can assist us in taking off the emotions of such things, and still be in this world and helping each other.

Simply calling on her, no matter what religion you follow, by saying "Mary, this is too hard for me to carry, please take it from me."

Analyzing is a Form of Control

As for your analytical tendencies, your angels tell me it also manifests in impatience with others, including yourself. Your angels want you to know that it is not always your lower self, but that when you're in your mind too much. It is because you're not engaging your heart chakra. When someone is not in their heart, but more in their mind, it is due to being hurt in the past and fearing being hurt in the future. Analyzing is a form of control, we do it to protect ourselves from future pain and frustrations.
Take steps to take yourself out of the mental and more into the feeling part of who you are. There are so many wonderful tools to do so. Do some self examination as to why you are in that mental body? What took you out of the heart center and put you into the mental body long term? Meditation, energy work, breathwork, chakra healing, laughter, play, volunteering. Explore "heart centered healing." Read less and feel/experience more.

Your angels tell me when you are in your heart space more and more, the doubt goes away because you will FEEL them now. The truth of that will be life changing and you will no longer doubt their guidance or if they are with you and when. The knowing becomes one of love, more than a conscious effort from your brain.

Your angels tell me this is a very big life lesson for you. It is a main theme of growth at this time in your life. Working on the deeper intelligence of your heart can bring positive changes into so many areas of your life.
