Rev. Miska, your response to Trina's question hit home for me! When you pointed out that a healing practice of taking on another's pain & transforming it thru our own bodies was an advanced form of healing taught to some of us in previous lives. This did hit home because I had an experience where my father was rushed to the hospital & it was determined he had a blood clot & might have had a stroke. I focused & saw the clot. I was able to see the clot & was able to see it vanish. I found out he wound up with no side effects & checked himself out of the hospital. He was totally fine! The doctors were shocked! I am an empath & pick up on people's emotions all the time. It drains me. I found your point very interesting where you indicated there is also a point where our empathy can go so deep that we actually are taking away their power in our attempts to take away their pain. I advocate for women & children who have had problems w/welfare, child support issues, etc. I can actually see your point & agree, and I have done exactly that. I "feel" so much, that I have been taking away their power. I have felt like a failure, but will focus on your recommendation of focusing on simply holding loving, compassionate awareness along with faith in the person's ability to heal themselves. Thank you!
