Thank you Open. The 9 steps is very clear and insightful approach. I have an experience that I wanted to share. As I take on emotions and states of mind that are others', very easily, I started to learn how to distinguish them from my energy. Sometimes just asking whose energy is this, causes the emotion or low vibration energy go away. When it stays, then I have to deal with it. :-)

But recently I had an important realization; which is that most of the time I am "involved" in other people's business. What I mean is that if I am in a situation for example that someone says something that is hurtful, or doesn't say anything when I expect him/her to communicate, and I feel rejected, or feel that the person "should have" or "shouldn't have", I am into someone else's territory, as I am judging the other person's behaviour. How am I to evaluate or expect what the other person should or should not do? I don't know what he/she is into, what his state of mind, path, karma etc. that made him say or not say that thing. He/she does what is best for his/her at that point in time, in that specific situation. And if I can separate or be aware of this judgment of mine, I can really deal with my reaction or feeling. This is a recent "exercise" of point of awareness that is happening with me. This also lead me to be more humble towards the energies of the universe. :-)
