It can be incredibly challenging for my empathetic abilities to surge through my body. I had no idea what was happening to meet. On a roller coaster ride of emotions,, from intense sadness to elation all in just a 60 second period. It never seems to have an ending. Considered it to be a curse until….someone showed me towards the light of acknowledging this gift I’d been granted.
It’s not a gift offered to all, in fact, only a few were able to experience as I do. Feeling what others felt and their feelings consuming my body and mind in an instant needed to be honed in. I needed to start recognising what feelings were my own and what belonged to others. And if they were those of others, who specifically did they belong to?
Tap into the energy within my body, through my gut and speak directly with the emotion, as though I were an outsider looking in. Completely as an observer, managing the experience as so.
I stopped seeing the intensity as a curse and chose to finally to see it as a gift to see how I could help guide others through what they were feeling without them feeling the pain again if they were to share with me their experience.
Thank you to my inspiration to breath through the above via
