Sympathy & Empathy

-


What is the difference between sympathy and empathy? How do we discern between the two? 

Empathy is feeling or having the ability to feel what others are feeling. It is good to have this ability, to be comfortable with feeling emotions from another living being. 

Sympathy is feeling sorry for someone.

Which of these to energies takes from you?

Sympathy, someone who wants or craves sympathy is an energetic vampire. Think about all of the times you have felt sorry for someone. After being in their presence are you drained? Yep.

Choosing to feel the emotion is easier, you are just feeling the emotion. You are not taking it on or away from the person. You are choosing to feel it out of compassion, love and understanding to assist in whatever capacity you can. 

How do we protect ourselves from being overwhelmed by emotion or tapped from someone who is feeling sorry for themselves?

Surround yourself with Light, say a prayer to the Creator for protection and guidance. Put a bubble around you with the intention of protecting you from being tapped energetically. When you do this you will also be divinely guided through whatever happens in the moment. This works for me and it can work for you too. Maintaining your energy through out the day is healthy and loving to yourself. 

So when a person says to you , "Don't you feel sorry for me?" - (Goo & Cootie Question)

You can tell them no, but you can empathize with them and give them suggestions on how they can improve their situation. That way they cannot energetically cord into you and you have helped them. 

It is up to the other person to ultimately make their decisions. Make the offer and stand back so they can make their decisions. 

Remember emotion is energy in motion. Since we are all ultimately energy and we do move through our emotions - we are always in motion, even when we are  praying or meditating. Allow the feelings, allow yourself to feel. You are Human after all.

I always get people who ask things like this - "Well, what about those people who are abused and starving, don't you feel sorry for them?"

No I do not feel sorry for them. I pray for them, I ask they receive help for their higher and better good. This is the best effort I can make on their part. The best example I can give for others to follow. 

Look at the people who are in your circles that you move through daily, weekly, monthly, yearly and recall how you feel within those circles. You will know when you will need to enforce your bubble and say your prayers or intentions. 

Send love, Be Love!

Keep your heart open and aligned with the energy of LOVE!

  Archangel Michael & Archeia Faith Archangels and angels are created to serve the Creator and Mankind. In other words the angels are our helpers, they help us, by different kinds of guidance. When you receive guidance, remember to say thank you.  You do not have to elaborate, leave offerings or anything like that as the Angels were created to assist our Creator and us Humans, Be polite, say thank you.  Archeia are the divine feminine Archangels. Most of the archeia are compliments for Archangels.  Remember not to humanize Angels. They are Angels, we are humans, totally different living beings.  The angels do not punish, or force a way of being. Angels assist us with raising our resonance. Angels are not religious, they are love.  You don’t need to worship the angels to accept guidance for you.  All you have to do is say thank you.  Archangel Michael & Archeia Faith are the Archangels in charge of the Guardian angels.

Gratitude - Gratitude, thankfulness or gratefulness, from the Latin word gratus "pleasing, thankful", is a feeling of appreciation felt by and/or similar positive response shown by the recipient of kindness, gifts, help, favors, or other types of generosity, to the giver of said gifts.  The difference between Gratitude & Thankful  The Oxford Dictionary defines the word thankful as “pleased and relieved.” Both of those are great feelings. ... The Oxford Dictionary defines the word grateful as “showing an appreciation of kindness.” This is where the difference lies; being thankful is a feeling, and being grateful is an action.  When I lived in Colorado, my friend Vicki taught me about being present with my gratitudes. She helped me rewire my brain to help me be open to receive what life had to offer. We started writing our gratitudes/Intentions - keeping journals. As word smiths we were able to write some pretty lines, lines that resonated with us to help us with ...

Knowing Your Worth

A couple of weeks ago I had a very interesting conversation with one of my colleagues. We were discussing the different rates that some of some of the different energy workers.  There seems to be some who have opinions that rates may be exorbitant with some of the healers, energy workers or mediums. I gave myself a few days to think about the conversation and get clear on what I thought about the differences in rates. My opinion is those with integrity and get results should charge what they feel is appropriate.  The Equal Exchange of Energy - Remember? There may be some rates are so high that the middle class or lessor cannot afford them. What if this energy work is just for those of the upper class? Maybe this expensive energy work is for those people who assist with 'making our world a better place?' I am thankful for this.  Perhaps this energy work will help those who make great decisions for the masses, instead of just for the self. Does that make sen...
