On Compassion (Especially for “healers”).
Some of you are not going to like this since being an “Empath” is often a badge worn with great pride and sadly of a strong sense of “martyrdom”. Labels can be quite debilitating and disempowering.
When someone asks me for help let me share with you how I choose not to be an “empath” but still retaining that wonderful capacity to “walk a mile in another’s shoes”.
I am within myself, at peace. And if I were to speak of where I am at I would say to anybody that whatever I feel you are not responsible for it but I want you to know that mostly I feel good.
And when you are not feeling good please do not feel bad that I do not sympathize or empathize with you in your not feeling “goodness”, because I won’t be of much use to you. Nor will I be able to feel the Truth of who you really are.
So rather than empathy or sympathy what you are going to find from me is compassion.
And what is the difference between sympathy, and empathy, and compassion? Empathy is giving my undivided attention to what you are saying and how you are feeling until I stay there long enough, or feel your pain strong enough, that the same vibration that you have got going, is now within me, so we become one in our dysfunction and disconnection. I am so there for you, l “feel” what I have felt that You feel.
This is empathy, and includes its earlier companion, sympathy (“Oh you “poor” thing”).
Let me now slow things down a bit to unpack the experience of “compassion”.
Compassion is “I see You, I see the mighty Soul you really are playing out this experience that you have chosen, to discover what you truly are, and I So Love and honor You.
And I am fully Present and in Love with Life and turned on to it and by it. And even though you are not vibrationally in that place, that you deserve to be, and is in fact who You ARE, and I don’t focus on the place you are in, so I do not join you and you do not become my excuse for not being in alignment.
Thus I choose to stay in alignment with Source. I stay in alignment with who I really am and I focus on you anyway because I Love you and simultaneously I Love what I AM.
You see your problem, I see your resolution.
You see what is wrong, I see what is better.
You don’t like you, I love you.
You are judging You, I only see your Light.
You are mad at the world or afraid of it, I am in Love with the world and embrace it.
You have forgotten, I am Remembering.
We are in the same space both having very different experiences.
That is what I share with you.
You cannot deplete me for I will not give you my power. I desire only that you find your own.
In sharing my Presence you get to know your own.
The ‘gates’ of Unconditional Universal Love are forever open and if I Know my own field and am constantly choosing what I align with then I can step away from you with no withdrawal of my Lovingness.
I So Love You
