A chant to become more empathic

Info: This spell is from ''Everyday Magic: Spells & Rituals for Modern Living'' by Dorothy Morrison. This spell is chanted to become more empathic, to get more in touch with people's true inner feelings and emotions.

You will need: 

• Items/props are totally optional, otherwise none are required.

Casting Instructions:

1) Get into a meditative, trance-like state where you feel open and aware of the energy around you. This trance-like state is vital because this chant virtually absorbs in you the external energies of others, hence the purpose of the spell to be more empathic...

2) Once you feel aware and open, chant with a very clear voice:

Goddess, mother of compassion,Help me now to understand
How others feel, so I can help them.
Guide me with your gentle hand.
Bring to me their true emotions,
Bring their dreams, their hopes, their fears.
Bring their hurts, that I may soothe them.
Bring their laughter and their tears.
Help me be more empathetic to the needs of others, please,
And help me nurture all around me.As I will, so mote it be!
