Containing Your Energy has many implications, and I will be writing a new blog series about it which will include a sort of spiritual travelogue and share some of the wonderful insights that being in such pristine nature provided.  I hope that it will be helpful for more than just me.  I’ve already been integrating new layers of learning into my work with others.

Have you been told all of your life that you’re too sensitive? Do you feel frustrated because if you knew how to be less sensitive, you surely would be?! … it’s possible you may be an Empath. So… before I move on with the blog theme of Self-Care and the Chakras, I want to talk about Empaths – especially the kinds of empaths who feel other people’s feelings, thoughts, and/or physical sensations in their own body, namely: Clairsentience – “clear feeling,” sometimes a “gut knowing,” and this can include feeling other people’s physical sensations in your body. Claircognizance – “clear knowing,” which can include what other people are thinking. Just knowing and often not knowing how or why you know. Clairempathy – “clear emotional understanding,” which can include the overall feeling tone people in a room, a business, a person, or a situation.

We are in this for the long haul with all of you; we are very patient as we walk alongside you on this very significant journey you are on there on planet Earth. We consider it to be an honor to be invited to your little party, and we are so excited to be on the path with you for all of the wonderful twists and turns that you have coming up in order to bring you into a higher frequency state.

Empathy is the ability to feel another person's emotions. It is a second dimensional ability shared by "primitive," tribal societies, herd animals, and birds in a flock. An example of this is when our pet comes up and nudges us in an attempt to comfort our sadness. Other examples are a mother's understanding of what her nonverbal infant needs or a healer's deep knowing of how a patient feels.

Are you more empathetic than you were ten years ago? Do you care more about the Earth and her environment, more now, than you did fifteen years ago? Do you feel more compassion for others now than you ever have before? Do you have a better relationship with animals than you have had at any other point in your life? Noticing things about yourself, small things, this is the way to measure your progress.

What you are capable of feeling more of now than ever before is compassion. You are able to empathize with the circumstances of others because of what you have drawn on in this lifetime. You have been drawing on your past life experiences, and those experiences have awakened the receptors within you, so that now more than ever you have compassion and empathy for your fellow humans.
