It has taken me a long time to understand energy and empathy. It is such an unknown, unseen reality, yet it can have a huge impact on our lives. For those of us born with empathy it has been a part of us and our makeup all our lives. The difference is that the world and the universe are moving so rapidly now that we are all awakening at some level. Hence our energy fields are more open. This can be a good or not so good thing. As humans we are made up of ‘Left’ and ‘Right’ brain, Yin Yang, positivenegative. Like a car battery we need both the positive and negative to work and function. To open our intuition, we must expand our knowledge and awareness, energetically and empathically. We need to balance body, mind and heart. Other people can affect us empathetically, on a physical and unconscious level. You may start the day in a great mood but, after dealing with a negative person, your mood may change. This is because you ‘caught’ their energy. Our days are filled with interactions and communications with people in person, on the phone and over the internet. It’s very important to be aware and to strongly shield our energetic body. ‘We must set boundaries on our time, space and energy and stay true and honest to our self and our value system’. Most energy empath people are givers not takers, so it can be quite challenging to step into our own self-worth and say ‘no’ to certain situations. It’s important to trust our intuition/gut and stay in our power, whilst remaining as graceful and humble as humanly possible. Ultimately we all have free will. This is our power and no-one can control or take it from us unless we allow it.
EMPATHY:
The deep ability to understand and share the feelings of another.
My self-loving advice is to check in daily on yourself and surrender to the divine universe. Let go of anything that no longer serves you in unconditional love peace and happiness. Heavy bouts of negative emotion can lead to toxicity through the body. Giving away too much of yourself, your plans, ideas and experiences can lead to vulnerability. This leaves you open to attack, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
EMPATH:
The trademark or makeup of an empath is feeling and absorbing people’s emotions and/ or physical symptoms because of their high sensitivities. These people filter the world through their intuition and at times can find it difficult to intellectualise their feelings.
We are all human and have bad days. When this happens, I use this powerful thought command: ‘Cancel Clear Delete’. This allows the thought to occur but not manifest into reality. By rebooting you can replace it with a positive thought, affirmation, manifestation or command. Knowledge, Awareness and Action will go a long way to a happier, more empowering and compassionate empath life. I truly hope this helps you reach a happier path and fully utilise your awareness, energy, skills and gifts in a positive manner. ca AVALON HEALING SERVICES Ph. 07 5373 7928 Mob. 0413 757 147 Email. gemma@avalonhealing.com.au www.avalonhealing.com.au
