Awaken To Spirituality

Yesterday, I was powerfully reminded how easy it is to take on the sad, traumatic or negative energies of others. I was bringing a meal to a homeless person and the instant I handed her the bag of food, I started to cry. Sound familiar? In that moment, I realized I had taken on her energy of pain and suffering.
