A client passed on something out of the Emmanuel Book, a book channeled from spirit. It had a great metaphor about taking care of yourself.
It said to imagine yourself as a pitcher filled with water. When you do, you can easily give to others by filling their cups. But you can’t do that if you are empty.
How many times do I see where healers (and others) tend to forget themselves and focus on healing others, putting others first? And how many times do we do that to the point where we are bad off because we have ignored ourselves for too long? Too many.
If we ignore care to ourselves for too long, eventually we lose the ability to help others. As I was taught long ago… there has to be balance. And all too often we are off balance.
Take care of yourself. You have to be strong and well to help others. Don’t ignore your problems. Be a pitcher filled with water.
