So many bodyworkers and energy healers are highly empathic, and this means we feel what someone else is feeling – often literally.

This can be a gift when we are able to use the connection of feeling to help someone in a refined way.

But one of the biggest issues that comes up is when we “keep” those feelings and don’t know how to get rid of them.

There are several layers of awareness and cultivating the Self that empaths must learn, and in this process at a certain point I start to lean away from elaborate fear-based meditations that call on all kinds of external forces for protection.

Instead, once there is an awakened awareness, I prefer to go towards an attitude of using OTHER information we feel as a form of power.  And all power, when used correctly, must be wielded with a sense of strength and honor.

Empathic Alchemy allows us to use the awareness of holding someone else’s issue, whether it is physical or emotional, and release it from ourselves as a transformed energy that goes back to its source.

With a little practice this becomes both easy and fun.

How To Transform And Give Back What Isn’t Yours:

  1. Become aware of where in your body you are feeling and holding OTHER energy.
  2. Describe it, preferably out loud – because speaking it gives us more clarity.
    • What color is it?
    • Does it have a shape?
    • Does it have a temperature?
    • Does it have a size?
    • Does it have a movement?
    • Anything else about it you notice?
  3. Sense it and affirm that this is not you.
  4. Now, go to your own Heart and imagine something that makes you feel warm, love, appreciation, happiness, great joy.
    • Think about this and let it grow as big and strong as you can.  Notice the color of this energy in you, the color of Love and Happiness.
  5. Shift and move your Heart feeling and color into the OTHER energy and transform it by using the ability of you as a HEALER to do this.  There is a part of you that knows and understands exactly how to do this.
  6. Once the OTHER energy is changed, release it and command it to go back to its origin, knowing that you are sending back a beautiful alchemized healing gift.

This is the new you.  You no longer hold onto what is not yours, you BE the healer you are and transmute the OTHER energy which you then give back, raising the vibration of everyone involved.

May You Be Blessed With Light,
