When we worry about everyone other than us, we are affected by everyone else. Physically, mentally, energetically, in every way.
As an empath, being around others used to just drive me over the edge. I couldn't take it. Crowds, movies, public places like grocery stores... no way! Everyone else drove ME crazy... little did I know that once I shifted my focus inward, started to look at myself, my stuff, my issues, my responses, that it would all change.
Learning that others were our triggers was a foreign concept for a long time. I was like "huh"? I started to pay even more attention to others and what was going on with THEM in order to figure my own self out. A "teacher" even taught me to do this every waking moment of every day to the point of obsession. It was still easier than looking in the mirror (even though I was, and didn't understand that either).
They had pain, my heart hurt. They had ego issues, I got a migraine. They were insecure, my chakras went berzerk. I stayed so focused on them, that I became a "professional" watcher! I could tell you everything wrong with someone else. I was exceptional at knowing what was wrong in their little world. It did teach me to start paying attention to my responses, and through that I started to learn about myself. I started to see where my own pain, lack, blocks, issues were. Then I had to go inward. This started a whole new learning curve for me.
It wasn't until I realized that it had nothing to do with them. My world was my world. My issues were my issues. They were just a tool for me to learn more about me; to start to heal me. Wow, new concept. Now I had to learn to focus on myself! Jeesh... I could have skipped years of focusing on others if only....
Now, others don't matter. I can use what I feel in my body to detect subtle energy imbalances when working in a healing session or "teaching" mode with them. Otherwise, not mine to be concerned with. Wow, I had to go all the way around the world for that little tid-bit... so now I help others cut to the chase... no one cares what is up with the other person. It is all about us!
