Is This Mine?

Did you know that we all have the ability to be empathic?  Being empathic means you can feel what others feel.  If you watched Star Trek: Next Generation, Counselor Deanna Troi was empathic and could feel others’ emotions.  Everyone has this to a varying degree.

For example, if you are feeling fine one minute and then suddenly your mood shifts for no apparent reason, you may be experiencing someone else’s emotion.  You can muscle test and ask, “Is this mine?”  If you get a “no,” then just let that thought go.  You can do this by picturing those thoughts and feelings floating in a bubble.  You can either pop that bubble or just let it float away.  You have enough feelings of your own.  No need to take on others’ feelings!
