Emotional Sensitivity is directly related to Compassion. What we must remember is that there are different types and levels of Compassion.

Compassion from the level of human existence is tied directly to our ability to be empathic. Very often emotional empaths have a difficult time in life until they learn to control their empathic abilities and gifts. I know I did.

Compassion from the human level is often overwhelming and brings us to tears and causes us to say “yes” to people in circumstances we usually would not. We do this because we “feel” other’s emotions and the emotional frequencies of everyone all around us, and it becomes easy to confuse the emotions we are “feeling” as our own.

The human heart radiates an electromagnetic field, and the interaction between the electromagnetic fields of human’s hearts affect our moods, attitudes, feelings and beliefs whether we are conscious of it or not. 

Just by going through our normal day, being in traffic, going to work, the grocery store, etc., we are constantly being bombarded with emotions that are not ours, and because we are not consciously focused on this knowledge, we fall into allowing the low vibrational frequency emotions of other’s dramas and personal issues to move into our energy fields, and soon we think what we are feeling is our own emotions, and very quickly it becomes too much to bare.

What transpires next is, we begin reacting and interacting with others in ways that create situations and personal dramas that fit with the emotions we have subconsciously taken on.

We also have to remember that when we say “yes” to helping others beyond what is productive and beneficial for their personal growth, we are not doing it for them, although we think we are; We are doing it for our self. We are doing it because the pain is too much to tolerate and we will do anything to make it stop.
