Empaths And Therapists Re-Fill Your Cup

This meditation is for anyone who gives. Therapists, coaches, teachers, nurses, and empaths this is for you. It's also for those who do not give in a professional setting but offer the world a lot of empathy and care. They show up so much for the people around them, that they can forget to look after themselves. They can worry that they haven't given enough, they didn't say/or do enough. I'm here to reassure you that you have done more than enough for today and this is your space to re-fill your cup. You cannot save the world and your light is enough. We'll use a beautiful visualization to draw in your energy and move into some gentle affirmations to allow yourself to receive.

Welcome into this meditation.

This is a meditation for anyone who associates with being an empath,

A lightworker,

A caregiver,

Someone who gives in this world however big or small.

That may be that you work as a coach,

A therapist yourself,

A teacher perhaps,

A nurse,

Someone who works in a giving role.

It may be that you don't work in a giving role but you give a lot in whichever roles you show up in in your life.

It may be that you care for a loved one.

Any way that you associate with that term,

That term empath,

That term lightworker,

Caregiver,

And for all the people who associate with that,

Which in a space like this,

There will be many of you.

Many of you are going to be feeling the world and sensitive to the world and you will feel how much is needed from you especially at this time on earth and I want this to be your sanctuary amongst that.

I want you to feel that you can come into this meditation today and going forward when you need that reassurance that you are doing enough and when you need to actually reset and rebalance your energy because let me tell you we need you in the world and if your energy is just giving,

Giving,

Giving,

You'll have nothing left to give.

So we need to protect our lovely empaths,

We need to protect people like you who are giving so much.

So when you are ready,

Finding a comfortable position,

This can be laying down,

This can be sitting up.

I would just say that whatever position you get into,

Allow it to be one that is soothing,

Nurturing,

Not feeling as though you've got to do any hard work with it.

Take your time to get there,

Take your time to just sink in and to begin to let go and we're going to start to simply breathe into that,

Allowing the body to sink into the cushions,

The bed,

Whatever you are sitting or lying on.

And as we breathe into that we start to appreciate the sensation of being held.

You do so much holding even when you don't realize it and i want you to feel held in this moment.

I want to invite you to feel held by me right now but again by whatever it is that you're allowing to physically hold your body,

That sensation of almost like you're being supported,

You're being propped up.

Now is the time for you to switch off,

To take pressure off your shoulders and to retreat in from the outside world,

To take a deep breath in if you can through your nose and allow everything to go,

Breathing out through your mouth.

Again,

Deep breath in through your nose,

Take your time,

Slow everything down.

When you're ready,

Exhale everything out through the mouth.

Just feeling that sensation of release and I want you to visualize that your light,

That you may or may not realize you hold but your light is probably been radiating out into the world today and that is wonderful but we need to draw it back in for you.

So almost if you imagine like these light beams have been given out all day long maybe to a person that you have worked with or you've interacted with,

Maybe just to a person you've passed on the street and you didn't even realize you were giving them energy.

These wonderful light beams that you've been sending out,

It's time to call that back in for yourself.

So trusting that that light will still stay with whoever you've given to but this is just about taking your energy back,

Bringing it right back in so it's almost as though you perhaps have given too much of yourself or even fragmented a little today and calling that back,

Calling your light back,

Calling,

Calling,

Calling.

Imagine it hearing you and returning back to you.

You almost see these light beams coming right back in.

You start to feel your heart filling back up with light,

You start to feel your own body filling back up with energy and as you breathe just take your time to refill your body back up with this much-needed energy,

This much-needed light.

As you simply breathe,

As you allow yourself to be held and as you refill your body with light,

I am going to say some affirmations and i will allow you to soak in whatever you need.

So soaking that light back in and absorbing the words of i am allowed to fill up my own cup,

I am allowed to look after me.

If i do not look after me there will be nothing to give and therefore i have more than enough permission to look after myself and to for this moment not give.

I have done enough today,

Whoever i have perhaps helped,

Interacted with,

It was enough and i know sometimes we don't feel like it's enough,

Maybe we should have said that thing,

Maybe we should have helped them in this way,

If only they could get to this place,

You have done enough.

People will be ready to hear things in their own time and if you tried to help someone today and it didn't resonate for them,

Allow yourself to trust that that wasn't on you,

It wasn't because you wasn't enough,

Not because you didn't do enough.

Sometimes we are just ready to hear things in our own time and we are all on our own timelines.

I did not foul this person,

I did not get it wrong,

They will be ready to hear it when they're ready to hear it and if they're not that's okay too,

I allow people to be on their own journey.

I do not put pressure on my shoulders to save and help the whole world,

It's not my job to,

I cannot do that,

I am allowed to not feel that i need to save people or help everyone.

I can only give what i have the capacity to give.

I am doing enough and i am enough.

I do not have the power to fix or change people,

I let go of feeling as though i have the power to do that because it's not my job to fix or change anyone.

I focus on making sure my light is shining as bright as it can by looking after myself,

By connecting with all the things that fill me up and in turn i give off this light to the world without even trying.

As i walk down the street,

As i sit on the train,

As i sit next to someone,

I am giving off a light because i am staying connected with the light,

The divine,

However i see it,

I'm staying connected with that and therefore i then give off light that others will feel and i don't need to strive to do that,

I don't need to put pressure on myself to do that,

I allow myself to appreciate how much light i'm giving without even realizing.

I have done enough today,

I have given enough and it's okay to call my energy back in for me,

They will be okay,

They will figure it out,

They are on their own journey and on their own timeline,

It's not my job to pull them into a place that they may not be ready to go to,

I trust in that person or people that i'm trying to help,

I trust and have faith in them,

They will get there when they're ready to get there,

Instead of putting pressure on myself to help them,

I put my faith in them,

I trust them and i trust their autonomy,

Their agency in their own life.

I have done enough today,

I have given enough today,

I did not get it wrong.

Taking a few more breaths here,

Just absorbing those words.

I want to remind you that you are simply a channel here and that the energy you give to the world cannot come directly from you,

As in it cannot be you giving away your energy.

I see Giffers and Paths helpers,

Lightworkers,

As really these beautiful adapter plugs who are plugged into the light,

The divine,

The heavens,

However you see it,

And then others they help,

Simply plug temporarily into them,

So it's almost this channel where you're plugged into the light when others maybe don't feel they can be,

And then they plug in to you,

But they're not plugged into you,

They're plugged into you to a degree,

But you're just streaming it through you,

So it doesn't mean you're giving away you,

It doesn't mean you're giving away all your energy,

Just like an adapter plug,

The energy is streaming through whatever the source is,

It's not draining the adapter itself,

So when you are giving my love you have to give from this space where you almost to some degree get out of the way,

And you are just the adapter in between,

You allow light to come through you so that it reaches others,

But you do not give from this empty cup,

You do not give yourself over,

So beginning to just come back into your body,

Perhaps again feeling this sensation of being held,

The sensation of softness of cushions or whatever you can feel on your skin,

And again permission to rest after this meditation,

Permission to let go,

To switch off,

I know this feeling because i myself i work as a therapist,

I before i even worked as a therapist was giving without realizing,

Almost being a plain therapist to my friends and to people naturally without even meaning to,

And really that learning i've learned is that you cannot just keep giving,

Giving,

Giving,

Giving,

Giving,

You are not solely responsible for changing the world,

And i promise you,

You are doing more than enough,

Your light is enough,

You do not have to save people,

In fact you can't save people,

You have to look after yourself,

So come back to this whenever you need to,

And just beginning to perhaps move your hands,

Your feet,

Bring a little bit more energy into the body,

Even if you're about to fall asleep,

It just allows you to come out of that visualization,

Or almost putting that visualization away,

And either blinking your eyes open or falling asleep if that's what you need,

And please know this space is always here for you,

Every time you've had a day where you've been giving too much,

Where you've been questioning yourself,

Come back here and allow this space to soothe you,

Because as i say,

We need you in the world,

We can't afford for you to be giving away all your energy,

Because it can't come from you,

You are just here as a light,

I'm sending you so much love and i'll see you soon
