And I am not just talking about books. We are all guilty of judging someone by their cover, it’s part of our survival instincts. But why and how are we doing it? Well, there is no surprise the answer is energy.
Our intuition is a very powerful tool and everybody has it at their disposal. Whether we connect with it, is another thing. I am guilty of judging books by their covers. I feel the cover sets the tone for the book and if it catches my eye, I will pick it up and read the description on the back. Or if I receive a recommendation to read a book I didn’t like the cover of before, I will give it a second chance and read the back cover.
I feel people are the same way. Their appearance is the cover and the back description is equivalent to having a conversation with them. But a lot of other factors come into play when evaluating people. Not only do we see physical appearances, and non-verbal communication like body language but there is an emotional level, our past experiences/core beliefs and other life experiences.
Emotional Level
Now I know physical appearance and non-verbal communication are self-explanatory. So I would like to focus on emotional levels or the energetic level. Whether we are aware of it or not, we do wear our hearts on our sleeves, our emotional hearts. We unknowingly spend our emotional state in way of energy. People who are sensitive to energy and auras can read your emotions even when you try to hide them.
This is when our core beliefs and past experiences come in to tell us if this person or situation is okay or safe. If we can relate to the person or situation we then choose if we want to continue to interact. As empaths, we get to experience what people are feeling and that can distort the impression we get. I have a daughter, who gets distraught when what a person is feeling does not match what they are saying or doing.
Innately, we all can sense that is not visible, causing miscommunication between family, friends and co-workers. The best way through these discrepancies is to simply inquire or just observe before reacting. To make sure you are interpreting your signals right.
