Science & Spirit CHAPTER 6 - Empathy The heart generates a powerful electromagnetic field which permeates every cell in the body. This electromagnetic field fluctuates in concurrence with fluctuations in emotion, and in doing so encodes emotional information. All life projects emotion subconsciously through the use of this heart filled. When you allow your own heart filled to synchronize with the heart filled of someone else, you gain a sense of sympathy, you feel, as they feel. As with any muscle, the heart field strengthens with exercise, and weakens when ignored. Those who consciously synchronize fields are able to better understand those around them through emotion. Empathy creates a strong sense of compassion in those who practice. Those who are able to feel pain in the hearts of others are more likely to try to ease such pain, and are less likely to desire adding to it. The first step to controlling empathic nature is to be able to distinguish between incoming emotions and your own. Detecting incoming emotions can be accomplished by recognizing sudden emotional reactions in your own heart without the coupling of any corresponding initial stimulus. This is the effect of your own emotions becoming overpowered by someone around you. The stronger an emotional reaction is, the stronger the heart field projection will be as well. If you desire control of your empathic nature, avoid shutting out incoming emotions entirely. With control you will be able to strengthen your own emotions, and be able to push back against incoming emotions, while avoiding any influence to your emotional state. Through practice an understanding of empathic nature and the heart field, you will not only be able to detect a specific emotion and its source, but be able to project stabilizing emotions of your own. To stabilize the emotion of another, such as to calm someone down, you must first allow their incoming emotion into your heart, and not immediately push it away. Analyze and understand the complexity of the incoming emotion, & when possible attempt to understand the motive or stimulus behind what they feel. Hold the desired emotion you wish to use as stabilizer in your heart, such as joy, forgiveness, hope, and project a gradual transition between emotions, as if to guide them through the desired emotional transition process. Were you to only project a direct competing emotion rather than a gradual transition, it is unlikely to produce the desired result. It is not enough to call someone across an emotional state. You must join them first and then walk back together. It is important to truly understand the depth of ones emotions before you can help them. If possible, imagine something they would associate with the emotion you wish to project. The effective range of empathic nature is determined by the strength and sensitivity of the heart field. The effect increases as physical proximity decreases, with maximum efficiency during physical contact. Intensity is for the amplified between individuals with close emotional bonds. The heart and mind can be fully activated alone, but as we become clouded we lose sight of the extent of our spiritual abilities. There are medicinal enhancements which allow us to temporarily activate these dormant abilities, however any natural supplements are only a substitute and bring along their own consequences. These enhancements can be a valuable mind opening tool, but do not replace the requirement for hard work and practice. One of the best ways to understanding emotion is to study body language. As emotion is a language in itself, it can be difficult to distinguish and translate specific emotions into something we can understand. By pairing empathic nature with body language, we can relate what we feel to an existing emotion we already understand, making that emotion easier to distinguish in the future. Although it can be difficult at times, the detection of emotion, even negative emotion, is a blessing. It connects you with others and brings an indescribable level of understanding. Practice opening yourself up to all incoming emotions. Shutting our emotions creates a mental barrier and numbs empathic nature.
