COMPASSION
This is something that comes up in most of my reiki sessions!
Compassion is one of the most commonly weaponised energies.
Some people use the language of empathy to bypass accountability, blur boundaries, or shame others into over giving.
Some will call you unkind when you stop absorbing their chaos.
Some will accuse you of lacking empathy when you no longer bend to their expectations.
True compassion doesn’t demand self‑abandonment.
It doesn’t require you to tolerate manipulation, emotional dumping, or behaviour that harms your nervous system.
🕯You can be deeply compassionate & say no.
🕯You can hold empathy & refuse to be controlled. 🕯That is emotional maturity.
Your boundaries are not a lack of love.
They are the shape your self‑respect takes.
Compassion isn’t a performance🤍
Reiki teaches us that compassion begins with ourselves, with our energy, with what we allow💫
