yoiu you Empathy

[Guest guest]

Dear Maggie:  I think you have answered your own question.  You discern what is

your energy and what are your feelings by observing and  becoming aware of  your

own energy patterns and feelings and also being aware of the energies in your

environment. You seem to be aware in that area and your awareness seems to be

developing , such that you are learning how to protect yourself from being " fed

on " .  IMHO you need to pay attention to the boundaries of your aura and not be

so open in that area, such that you take in the emotions of other people; that

is not helpful for them or you, in fact it is destructive. 

Empathy is a different matter: it is being able to understand and relate to

someone else's situation or emotions without internalizing them so that they

" take over "  .I take it your intention is to help others without hurting

yourself, right?  You sound like a really good person who wants to help others,

and that is admirable, just don't allow yourself to be hurt in the process.

Peace and Love    Diane

Thanks Diane! What I find funny is this is happening even when thinking about

others isn't happening. Barely any eye contact or connection is even made. Just

the sudden vicinity of a person and this occurs. So it must be when I am

consciously thinking about connected with another I am better able to have

boundaries and discern. But when simply in a yoga class minding my business and

just having slight awareness of someone else, there it was. So like you said it

must be a little more awareness with my boundaries as well whenever out there in

the connected world. Like, I believe, Glen had said it seems to be a natural

occurance upon k awakening. But we are all connected aferall. All good helpful

feedback. Thanks to you all!

 

Blessings,

Maggie
