journeynow Posted August 3, 2018 Author Share Posted August 3, 2018 Boundaries for Empaths: “I am unwilling to absorb anyone else’s energy.I want to be aware of it, but I’m unwilling to absorb it.” “I need to check my schedule and get back to you.” "asking your body “is this mine” for every feeling, mood, thought, pain, interaction, etc" https://www.huffingtonpost.com/jenn-bovee/boundaries-for-empaths_b_9355796.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
journeynow Posted August 3, 2018 Author Share Posted August 3, 2018 Grateful for reflection I could have said "You seem angry. Is that true?" Instead of trying to figure why she would be so angry and how to lesson the tension. She appeared to me to be seething, which felt incongruous to the situation, and I felt her mood and unfriendliness for hours afterward. Even still, it lingers. (That is on me. I pick up others negativity and let it hang around with me. Thus my considering what it means to be empathic and how to have good boundaries in that respect.)

journeynow Posted November 2, 2018 Author Share Posted November 2, 2018 The Great Bell Chant May the sound of this bell penetrate deep into the cosmos Even in the darkest spots Living beings are able to hear it clearly So that all suffering in them cease Understanding comes to their heart And they transcend the path of sorrow and death. The universal dharma door is already open The sound of the rising tide is heard clearly The miracle happens A beautiful child appears in the heart of a lotus flower One single drop of this compassionate water Is enough to bring back the refreshing spring to our mountains and rivers. Listening to the bell I feel the afflictions in me begin to dissolve My mind calm My body relax A smile is born on my lips Following the sound of the bell My breathe brings me back to the safe island of mindfulness In the garden of my heart The flowers of peace bloom beautifully. —Thich Nhat Hahn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
