EP 293: Having a Heart So Big it Hurts Sometimes with Beth

This episode is about loving your big feelings and emotions. Today’s caller, Beth, wants to feel comfortable in her skin. In her childhood home, her gift of being an empath became a liability. Whoever is the most open, the most sensitive one in a family often absorbs everyone else’s feelings. Beth would like guidance on how to keep her heart open but not feel overwhelmed by her feelings.

In today’s world, it’s often hard to keep our hearts open. So many people are numb, or shut down from feeling, or are scared to feel the “negative” feelings like sadness and anger, or have built walls and around their hearts and wear masks every day. When we are empathic and live among people who suppress, we feel it all.

Oftentimes, what makes an empath’s heart hurt is feeling sympathy or sorry. It is feeling someone else’s pain and suffering so much so that we feel bad for them. It is a judgment. When we are in sympathy we are judging.

The truth is none of us want to be blissfully ignorant. Ignorance really isn’t bliss. We may think it is and think back to a time when maybe we weren’t so awake and aware and romanticize it, thinking maybe it was better, but it really isn’t. We are here to evolve. We are here to awaken. And although it comes with many challenges, going back into being asleep is not an option.

Feelings are part of our life force and tears are not bad. Celebrate yourself.

Join us for our Love and Relationship Group Coaching Call on April 22 at 5 pm Central. It will be recorded if you can’t make it. Go to ChristineHassler.com/group. It’s $20. We will discuss masculine and feminine energy, polarity, and the duality of all things.
