What matters in your life? Is it having an intention to connect? Disciplining yourself to provide an empathic listening experience for someone else? To help aid in digesting the feelings and needs someone is sharing with you? And to help bring that to light with them, so they may have a new experience?
Welcome to the journey of awakening your empathic self. What has been hiding in the dark will be brought to light. Old patterns will no longer fit into the new relational spaces. Your tragic strategies will leave you feeling even more disconnected than when you were sleep-walking. On this path of compassionate connection there will be a variety of resources to aid you in creating an environment conducive to the heart centered growth you are seeking. Embrace the tools, digest what works, and let the rest go.
