Default Question for Erin on connection and empathy

Hi all :-)

This is a question about Erin's ability to connect with people and read their feelings as discussed in Steve's article 'Soulful realtionships'. In my humble opinion, this gift is even more impressive than your psychic ability :-).

I think the greatest strength of a lightworker is their ability to connect with other people (that's how you develop compassion right?) and since I'm trying to polarise as one, I'm looking to develop my empathic abilities. So Erin, how do you develop this ability? I know that in the article Steve said this came from your realising that we are all one (aka subjective reality). But how do you know when you've truly merged with another person and are really understanding them as oppsoed to just deluding yourself (I'm referring to myself here and my less than stellar attempt to merge with and read the feelings of my family and some friends :-). I think I filtered my perception of their feelings through my own thoughts on them (if that makes any sense) How do you know when you've truly connected with someone as opposed to just 'thinking' you understand them?


I hope I'm making sense here! :-)
