Empathy is the ability to recognize and feel other peoples emotions. Sympathy is feeling compassion for other people. Often times to be an “empath” means that you are absorbing much of the pain and suffering in your environment, which can sacrifice your won ability to function at a high level.

If you have every been in a room with a negative person, you know just how toxic their energy can be.  Learning to stop absorbing other people’s energies is such a great spiritual skill to have.  Here are five ways to stop absorbing other people’s energy.

1) Remember, you can’t please everyone

If someone is bullying you, complaining about you, or dissing you, do not make it your mission to try to convince that person to like you.  This will only suck you deeper into that energy field and will make you energetically dependent on their opinion of you.

Not everyone is going to like you. Everyone on earth is living here for a different purpose. By loving yourself first, you will create a forcefield around other peoples opinions that will protect you from being so drained by their opinions.

Throughout the history of neurological research, it’s been proven that one’s involvement in exercise expands one’s brain functioning; in turn, I think “exercise” is a paradigm where several different fitness modalities can fall under. In this piece, I will discuss the notion of unilateral loading on one’s body, as well as the mind. You will learn how to train your brain and body to achieve great results in increasing your mental capacity.

Brain, On Exercise

The National Library of Medicine conducted a study showing that “Physical exercise has been shown to increase brain volume and improve cognition in randomized trials of non-demented elderly”. Now, throughout this trial the exercises were restricted to the confines “Tai Chi” and other accredited fitness practices. Imagine, if one could extract the mental benefits of exercise without getting caught up in the mishegas of today’s fitness crazes. Enter, the unilateral loading.

We’ve all at one time or another asked ourselves those deep and profound questions, such as: “Who am I?” “Why am I here?” or even the million-dollar question: “Where am I going and how on earth do I get there?” No sooner have you asked one of those, and the next one pops into the consciousness: “There’s got to be more to life than this!” Does this sound all too familiar?

For the longest time since I got my dog, Koda, I’ve grown increasingly interested in all animals, but especially dogs! While preparing for Koda’s arrival, I’d read numerous books on animals and watched lots of DVD’s. I’ve since worked closely with the local animal shelters in my neighborhood to raise money. I’ve also participated in classes and workshops on how to care for dogs and other animals. It may sound like overkill to some to get so deeply immersed, but my soul has been constantly prompting me to do this work as a balance to the work that I do as a medium.

Dear Ones, let us assure you that there is not one wound within you that you cannot heal yourself. Let us explain what we mean by that.

Many of you have experienced hurts from others. These hurts occur from being neglected, abused, mistreated, or abandoned by another. Often these hurts have occurred in childhood and they become part of your story. From being part of your story, they become an part of the energy that you hold.

Generally, when you have a wound that requires healing, you think one of two things. You believe that there is no undoing it since it happened so long ago, or, that it is dependant upon the person who inflicted the hurt to heal it. Both of these beliefs create a blockage to your healing.

What if we told you, you could create the healing you have been yearning for all along for yourselves? You have the complete ability to send your loving, compassionate self back to the point of the hurt and give yourself every single thing you deserved but didn’t get. Go step in and protect yourselves in that memory. Go gather yourself up in your arms and snuggle and love yourself with the most wonderful, nurturing care. Reassure your wounded self. Encourage your wounded self. Give your wounded self the care and respect it always deserved. Help your wounded self know that it has every single thing it could ever need, right now, to heal and thrive. Fill that part of you with the healing balm of endless and unconditional love.

It can be challenging to see and let others walk their own path. To you, it may seem hurtful, painful or destructive. To them, it is just another lesson they need to learn. Bless their journey and release your attachment with Unconditional Love. ~ Creator

God said:

When you are happy, you make your happiness, and you accept it. I am speaking of a gentle stream of happiness, not a rollicking tidal wave. Too much happiness all the time could wear you out. Yes, gentle happiness is good, a gentle stream of loving yourself.

Unhappiness may seem to be visited upon you, yet you have often accepted unhappiness as a guest as well. Sure, unhappiness comes and goes, yet a steady current of feeling deep unhappiness is not a total stranger to you.

Equate happiness with love. Equate unhappiness with lack of love. Allow love to stream from your heart minute by minute and allow love to stream in from wherever it comes minute by minute, and, yes, you are happy.

We are not speaking of dramatic love. We are speaking of simple love streaming. The love does not have to have a name. Love flowing is all you require in order to name yourself happy. Just these little simple moments, for instance, as when you feel the computer keys under your fingers as they trot your words right along, or when you are sleepy and rub your eyes, or when you anything are at all that you are aware of.

Right now you could be pulling up a shade and looking out a window. Right now you could be watching the Sun rise, or you could be watching the Sun set and Stars come out and a perfect circle of the Moon and the Glory of God sparkling in the Sky.

These little moments multiplied all over the Universe can be your happiness because you like these moments.
