I wrote this just a couple of years ago for a workshop for highly sensitive humans who are prone to depression, anxiety, and despair due to the state of the world. Some of us do take in more from around us. There are physiological/neurological realities to this. There’s nothing “woo” about it. Some of us have more sensitive nervous systems, to overly simplify it.
But humans are built for empathy and empathy brings pain. We just have to watch for that pain snowballing. We have to take care. We need other humans around us for nurturing and grounding.
This invocation is about all of that. Use it, perhaps, during a meditation or print and sit a copy on your altar.
