Hello!
I'm Erin Furner, aka your biggest cheerleader for self-love and spiritual growth
I consider my role here on Earth as an ‘everyday spiritual mentor’; helping you navigate this crazy thing called life by living in alignment with your true awakened self (mind, body, spirit). I do this by translating spiritual wisdom and practices into easy to understand bite-sized habits that you can naturally incorporate into your life.
My passion is working with Empaths and Highly Sensitive People (HSP) because I too am an Empath and before understanding what it meant to be one, I found dealing with stressful situations and negative people incredibly hard. I'd take on the low vibes thinking they were mine, not realising that I was actually tuning into either the collective field or personal field of someone else.
Maybe you do the same or can pick up on the energy surrounding you really easily? As an Empath or HSP, you're naturally intuitive and you likely sense the call to help others even if your own life feels a little chaotic and stressful. Let me just say, it's practically impossible to help others when you're not feeling the high vibes or stability within yourself (speaking from experience). You're told to choose love and rise above adversity but I know your path isn't always easy which is why I'm excited to boost your spirits when you need it and help you transform dark into light. But before I do, here's a little bit about me.
Do you ever get the feeling that you don't belong and the more you try to fit in, the more awkward you feel? Me too!
That's me, smiling at a chicken pasta dish I had cooked for the family. I look pretty happy there, and if you met me at that time you would probably think I was. But behind the façade of smiles, I was a lost soul.
The truth is, being around people made me feel awkward and sensitive even though I came across as a total extrovert. It was energetically draining trying to fit in and be the person I thought people wanted me to be. What I really wanted was to explore spirituality and read books about ghosts or dabble with my oracle cards but it all felt 'wrong' so instead, I spent time with people who didn't understand me mainly because I didn't understand myself and I also didn't have anyone that could guide me.... well, at least I thought I didn't have anyone.
As time went on, I became incredibly self-critical and fearful of the world to a point where I developed chronic anxiety and depression. I believe my low state was a combination of my own 'stuff' and the energy of those I spent my time with. It seemed everyone was going through something and I unknowingly took on their feelings and symptoms . Being an empath can be both a blessing and a curse would you agree?
The one thing that breathed life back into me was a knowing that there's something bigger than me (I call it the Universe) that I am constantly in connection with. In fact, I am not separate from it and neither are you.
I remember one night in my room, I opened my bedside table drawer, and there, as if it had been there the whole time, was my old guardian angel brooch I had worn years ago and thought I'd lost. The significance of this was huge! When I was young (around 10 years old), I had a close bond with my angels; I felt drawn to their energy, shared my problems with them, and asked for relief for issues I couldn't physically deal with. I would wear the brooch everyday as a symbol of the bond I had with them. But as I grew up, I lost that connection (and my brooch). The craziness of life happened (and hormones) and my compass swayed in so many directions that I no longer knew my true North. So you can imagine then how life-changing the appearance of this brooch was! It was a very clear message from something far greater than me - it was the push I needed to remember loneliness is an option (the Universe always has my back) and if I wanted out of feeling such low vibes, I needed to take positive control of my life; emotionally, spiritually, and physically. I can't tell you how much I needed to realise that - it was a major turning point that I honestly believe saved my life.
The Guardian Angel Brooch changed everything
So I took control of my life. I returned to my oracle cards and opened up the channel of communication again. I allowed my soul to speak to me through journaling. I reflected, processed, digested, and released all the immediate things I felt were contributing to the low vibes I was experiencing. I changed my inner dialogue to a more loving standpoint and I figured out how to get out of my own way and listen more intuitively. Healing wasn't instantaneous, but every small step was further up the ladder and out of the darkness. The greatest healing came from the fact that I was a part of it - that I recognised and loved myself in such a way that I made self-healing a priority. That in itself is so empowering!
Life is meant to be lived
I think we can all agree that self-healing is a lifelong journey and not always an easy practice to maintain especially when life gets in the way and your priorities shift. But ironically, your energy wouldn't be half as negatively affected if you practiced self-love and care (am I right?!). The trick is to find what feels good and let your soul take the lead.
For me, self-healing comes from many different methods. Sometimes it's nature, other times it's yoga. Sometimes it's music, other times, meditation. Crystals are my lifeline and so too are oracle cards and tarot. In every moment, I find what feels good (by listening to my soul), and I do that. And if I don't? Well, my body has a wonderful way of letting me know (hello dis-ease and low immunity!).
It's never too late to wake up and honour your true self
So, why do it? Why invest time in self-love and self-care? Because depression sucks. Anxiety is horrible. Fear isn't fun. And disease is restricting. Sure I came here to learn life lessons but I certainly didn't come here to suffer and neither did you. But I understand; when your mind, body, or spirit is in a dark place, it’s not always easy to simply ‘snap out of it’. Sometimes it takes hardcore courage to let go and allow your soul to lead especially if you’re trying to figure it all out on your own!
So in light of that, I want my journey to inspire you. I want you to know that it’s never too late to wake up and honour your true self – mind, body, spirit. I also want you to know that you don’t have to be a ‘vegan yoga-pant-wearer, levitating in lotus position’ kind of person to be spiritual. Your spirituality is uniquely yours – a chance for you to remember just how much love radiates within and around you. And when you remember that and strengthen your self-love and spiritual practice, life becomes pretty magical. Sure, bad things may still happen, but you’ll have the resilience, confidence, and understanding of how to navigate through them.
So, are you ready to kick suffering to the curb and liberate your mind, body, and spirit? Great! Take a look at the SHOP page where you'll find products and services that are an extension of all that I've learned about self-healing and spirituality + the current energies that we're experiencing as a collective. There are also BLOG articles that are super helpful too. As you peruse (I love that word) this website, you may think it’s just me guiding and teaching, but really, there’s a whole Universal team assisting your self-healing journey. So, gorgeous soul, let’s do this collectively!
