Our neurons receive information as electrial and chemical wavelength vibrations. What is less understood, yet certainly not less experienced -especially by Empaths- are the subtle energy vibrations our neurons are receiving and mirroring from our environment. Mirror neurons pick up the vibrations of other people and shape-shift themselves to create a mirror replication to inform the brain. This mirroring is not just a replication of the vibration of other’s emotions, but also their heart rate, their blood pressure, even their neurochemical composition.
Humans have this neural mirroring capability. Unfortunately, we also have the ability to allocate a greater percentage of neurons to mirroring than is healthy for any one individual. We can literally create a condition in our body where we have a higher percentage of neurons trained to reflect other people’s neural activity than the neurons reading our own bodies. That condition might be called overly-empathic.
The over-allocation of mirror neurons comes at a grave cost to the Empath’s own mental, emotional, and physical well-being. If you want to find the fastest way to pitch your body into anxiety, allocate a few billion extra neurons to interpreting the vibrational information of another human being. And, better yet, if you want to find yourself dealing with a list of physical conditions known to afflict Empaths (fibromyalgia, hypothyroidism, addison’s disease, neuropathy, chronic fatigue, sleep disorders) continue to silence your own neuronal diagnostic system until it reaches its brink, screaming at you through one of these diseases.
This meditation can be the first step to reallocate an empaths mirror-neurons.
