L'esprit Dolphin

My senses are highly accurate; through them, I understand how the being in front of me works, whether it is another dolphin or a human. I know where they hurt, where their bodies struggle and if I should be delicate with them.

You, too, have that sonar to sense other living beings. However, your desire to help others or belief that you must carry the world on your shoulders may have blurred your senses. Instead of letting the information pass through you, you started feeling with the other.

Feeling with them duplicates the energy of pain and gives it a larger resonance chamber. When your hypersensitivity informs you, it tells you what is disharmonious outside of you; it does not mean you must integrate the disharmony within your energy field. Not carrying others’ pain does not mean not caring; you can care, be present and support without carrying. Maybe it is time you learn not to synchronise with others’ pain. Start with simple questions such as:

• Is it my pain or their pain? Do I really need to carry it too? Can I choose to release it?
• Am I avoiding my own emotions and sensations by making others' emotional state more important than mine?
• How can I nurture my inner harmony even if the outer world is not harmonious? (Remember, if others’ pain can influence you, harmony can also affect others. So holding your inner harmony will serve.)
