I recently had a client come and see me to address a few different issues she was dealing with; generalised anxiety was at the top of the list, obsessive-compulsive thoughts, anxiety around self worth and weight gain.

The session allowed for quite a bit of information to come through, some of it past life and some of it more recent. I found I was healing the soul of a fellow healer, while this seemed to come as no shock to her I felt that she’s still unaware of her true essence, she hasn’t quite yet tapped into her purpose as a healer but that will come with time and healing. As any authentic practitioner knows you must first heal yourself before you can aid others, our training comes with our own healing.

Authentic Healers Feel The Call

Even without conscious awareness of her abilities, she has always wanted to help people and wants to be of service by helping others solve problems or be a shoulder to cry on but the issue I discovered is she feels sorry for people all the time. It’s this ‘feeling sorry’ for those around her who are suffering that is causing her to take on the energy of the issues causing the suffering for others.

When we feel sorry for someone we are apologising for their suffering and that is accepting ownership and we take on what we are apologising for. When we do this, on a metaphysical level we take on the issue of suffering as our own. In my experience the worst thing we can ever do is feel sorry for someone, never apologise for something that you have not done or caused and do not take ownership of anything unless its something you’ve actually done and should be apologising for.

Is That Weight Gain Yours?

One of her concerns was her weight gain and over time as she took on issue after issue that wasn’t hers, her energetic divine blueprint expanded to hold all of this extra energy and in effect her physical body expanded to accommodate it. Without clearing and releasing all this excess energy it would be incredibly difficult to shift the weight completely no matter what she did. I should mention also that it could be very difficult to determine exactly what is your issue and what is that of the energy you’ve taken on under these circumstances, so no doubt much of her anxiety was connected to this also.

While she admitted it would take some real conscious effort to not feel sorry for anyone in the future she felt unbelievable relief to get some answers to the cause of her stress and anxiety. So next time you find yourself feeling sorry for someone take a moment to acknowledge that we are all on our own path having our own experiences, working through our own karma and learning what we need to heal and grow.

You can’t do it for them, be there as a support, love them and empathise if you must but never ever apologise for something that you didn’t actually do, the energetic and spiritual consequences are just not worth it.
