Emotional Support
Being deeply loved, understood and accepted is the emotional support we all need.
Due to their awareness/sensitivity and deep empathy, they should be helped to understand the emotions that they will be picking up in those around them. A tool, such as Onion Head, is helpful for them to match and identify what they are feeling with a pictorial representation. There are simple techniques from energy psychology that we can use and teach to them, that will reduce the intensity of feelings that they are experiencing (www.braingym.com ). Similarly, The Emotional Freedom Technique, also called Tapping, (www.emofree.com , www.eftuniverse.com ) can be used by tapping on their acupressure points or tapping on their behalf, to reduce and dissolve emotional, mental, physical and energetic patterns that are constricting and limiting..
We can help them differentiate between their own feelings and the feelings of others that they have taken in. We can energetically protect them from taking in the feelings of others, and as they get older, teach them to energetically protect themselves, especially from energies such as fear. This can best be done by keeping their energy fields whole, clear, balanced and vibrant. It helps when their family and caregivers do the same for their own energy fields.
