Seeking deeper understanding

[catshadow]

For a long time, my empathy remained "quiet" (I honestly can't think of any other way to explain that), except for at extremely intense moments, at which point it seemed to completely take me over. Recently, however, I'm having a lot of trouble dealing with it. I have a pretty good idea of what is making it so hard for me but I'm still having a lot of difficulty with it. I can't focus on anything and that's dangerous since I'm a constant companion of five children and it's starting to exhaust me both mentally and physically. Besides meditation, which I'm doing a lot of, anybody have any suggestions for me? I'm about at my wit's end, which is only making it worse for me.

Any and all suggestions would be welcome and appreciated, truly.

You need to develop a core of Serenity in your character. When you find that, everything gets put into perspective, and you won't be swayed emotionally by every turn of circumstances.

Our Souls exists simultaneously throughout every moment of Eternity, but the Ego has to interface between the Soul, and the Material World. It's not an easy job, but then you've already noticed that...

JCL has said some good stuff. The development of a strong personal center is one of the important tasks in a person's life.

Meditation is good toward this (if it is of a kind that centers and calms you)... so is Reiki, so is Qi Gong (or Chi Gung), and so forth.

You didn't say why you think you're out of balance just now...

Does it have anything directly to do with being responsible for five children? Is that a professional role, or are you related to them?

If you tell us a bit more, maybe we can help more.

Both sides of my family have strong empaths. Unfortunately, my father's side of the family had abusive histories and later on, when I was a child, I was raised, well, stressfully. Recently, I finally started to come to terms with how my father treated me in my childhood and, when I started trying to deal with it, all this started. Because of the form of the abuse, and how he dished it out, I'm only now coming to terms with the fact that I block everything I do.

I'm about ninety-nine percent sure it's all connected to the family troubles I'm going through now, that's what my instincts are telling me, but I just can't think of anything. I just can't think, period. I mean, I've taken care of these kids for a long time and, only in the last little while has it become simply too much to handle.

Alot of our lives is sculpted from our pasts. So it is with our empathic gifts. Mediation is one thing I find very helpful to keep me balanced. Learning more about sheilding is also a good idea. We have alot of info here on that subject. Alot of personal experiences are posted here. Also allowing yourself as much time as you can away from outside influences, which is hard with five kids. I do understrand that. Finding your centre is done with mediation. So I do encourage your meditating when ever possible. And of course as said, reading in the Bunker posts. :hugz:
