How Does Empathy Work?

I think first we need to refresh on how emotions work! Energy enters the top of our body through our crown or the very top of our head, if you will. It then flows down our core and exits our root which is close to our bum and discharges back to the earth. Our observation of an event or situation inherently changes that energy into an emotion. Every one of our emotions operates at a different frequency and vibrates at a different place within our body. This is why different emotions show up in different places and can feel substantially different from each other. Conceptually, if we think of emotional output as volume, similar to water; The larger the emotional reaction, the more of that energy is transformed into that emotion, like filling up a bucket of water.

When somebody is connected to another person, they are tapping into that emotional volume that is happening within that person at that time. That spiritual connection between those people can be controlled and metered, once somebody understands the mechanics behind it. Most empaths in the very beginning or within their awakening feel very out of control once they start tapping into other people. At this point, public spaces or difficult situations can seem overwhelming to be a part of. Rest assured this is indeed within your control, but a few hard truths have to be learned along the way. Though I’m sure swallowing a bit of pride is well worth it, in order to gain control in this part of your life.
