Carry the weight of the world on one’s shoulders
Fig. to appear or behave as if burdened by all the problems in the whole world.

A well know idiom that is well known and can be experience in one’s life. As it may seem like an expression, for some people they actually carry the weight of the world not just on their shoulders but in their entire body. As a person who has gone through a major transformation this past year and a half, I’ve come to understand that I can carry the weight of the world and doing so effects my physical body drastically. Those who happen to be naturally empathic we tend to take on emotions and energy of those we come in contact with. It’s that we want to, it’s that our energy fields act as sponges and when we soak up the energy of others, our bodies can become very heavy if we forget wring out the energies of others.

I took a trip to Georgia recently to visit loved ones and to take care of some business that needed to be done in person and during my time there I’ve to realize of the connection that I once had with Georgia is not the same as it once was. My time when I once live there had it’s ups and its down and I was devastated when I couldn’t go back. Now my time in NY has taught me a lot about myself and I feel that I have a better connection to NY than I thought I did in the past. I’ve to realize that I am a better person in NY and I align with my true self better when I am in NY.

With that being said during my time there and returning to NY, I’ve come to realize that I have carried the weight of others and I don’t like the feeling. While I do enjoy the company of others and getting to know people I need to prevent myself from taking the burdens of others. Sometime I’m not sure if these emotions are mine and not someone else’s and as time goes by it will be quicker to detect.

Those who may be going though that, understand that you are not alone and there are ways that we can let go and release the emotions of others. Going into a meditative state with the intentions of releasing the energies of others, and shielding yourself from future attachments you are then opening yourself to the possibilities of raising your emotional state.
