We are ambassadors of love.
We are also cognizant that we live in an energy soup, we are beings of energy, and sometimes certain vibrations, emotions, or thought forms are a little contagious because of the energetic nature of our beings and surroundings.
As our hearts open, we grow in awareness. Our loving nature expands. And often, if we are empathetic by nature, this exposure to the raw emotions of others--perhaps their scheming ways, perhaps their depth of being indoctrinated into 'the system' (how asleep they are), perhaps their horror and shock at current events--it affects us.
Today we are going to learn how to be loving without letting others take advantage of us mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally, and energetically.
In medical training it was a lesson about the monkey on the back. Here is an example:
- A nurse or fellow resident approaches you for help.
- They explain their problem to you.
- They ask your input.
- They walk away.
- Suddenly you have a new problem you didn't have before! The 'monkey' jumped from their back to yours!
So, in the medical field, we are taught as soon as we recognize the monkey and its potential to jump onto us, we review very quickly in our minds if that 'monkey' is truly our work responsibility or not?
Many people like to shirk theirs, you see?
Especially when it has lots of drama.
So, what we do in Medicine is as quickly as we know the 'monkey' is heading our way, and it's not truly 'our monkey'--we make it jump back! We are assertive and friendly, polite and FIRM. We turn the situation around and walk away knowing that the monkey isn't on the floor, it's back with the person who had it and tried to pawn it off on you.
What is this magic prayer for empaths?
It was taught to me by my teacher Anne Reith, PhD.
It works beautifully and you can say it all day long if you have to make it through the day.
When you feel a sudden heaviness, darkness, a drop in your vibration, a new worry or fear, something that doesn't feel 'right', say this quietly to yourself: if it's not mine, Lord, please take it away.
You will be surprised how quickly the energy lightens after you say it!
Your assignment is to be an Ambassador of Love. Everywhere you go.
People are not used to Love. There is no defense against it. It is both powerful and effective!
But the people you encounter might have a lot of issues, or baggage, or things that are just hard to watch or feel. I get this lots of times in the hospital. A simple example would be the person addicted to pain medicine who is going for surgery. There is going to be post-operative pain. The person is going to have a high tolerance for the pain medication. But they still need to have their pain addressed. You can't ignore it. Many times such patients are experts at manipulating others to get their needs met.
Are you there to get them off their pain med habit?
No.
You are there to help them as they are through the surgery. As best as you can with compassion and love, yes?
So you do what you are sent to do.
If you find yourself worrying for the patient, for their habits, their addictions, perhaps the way they had traumatic childhood which led to it...that's outside what is asked of you. That's when you might wish to say the prayer of the Empath. If it's not mine, Lord, please take it away.
This way you will be more effective for the long run, both for yourself and others.
You don't have to take the problems of the world home with you on your assignment as an Ambassador of Love.
Your plate is full with your own Life Lessons.
When you say the prayer, and the 'monkey' doesn't go away, then you know it truly IS your life lesson, and it's best to ask for Divine Assistance and Guidance to help you know the next steps to take to handle it.
Ross doesn't have anything to say except he is very proud of me for my work to enlighten those who are suffering. He says that the other people don't know where they are, or what is going to happen. You are fortunate in that you do know. And you are wise to accept our gentle guidance and friendship for the short term and for the long term.
clap! clap!
Aloha and Mahalos,
Namaste,
Peace,

Those who work on your behalf with unconditional nurturing, warmth, love and compassion.
