Being an Empath

Empaths

Empaths are deeply sensitive individuals who have high vibrational connections through their nervous system to energy. This means that they feel their experiences very intensely, on a very high frequency, which they try to make sense of through their emotional understanding.

Empaths perceive the world on a very physical and emotional level. This can be a blessing and a curse.

It is common for Empaths to find out about their high sensitivity through a challenge or trauma, where their system becomes so intense it is felt as an overwhelm. This is often seen as a calling; or an awakening to spirituality and understanding of self.

Empaths are not born to any given category or purpose. Empathy may be one part of a spiritual type, along with Intuition. Having a spiritual belief is also not an agenda.

Some Empaths have further psychic and intuitive skills which allows for them to feel the emotions of others(including animals)or the energy in a place; but this is not always the case.

Empaths cannot abide the suffering or pain of others. They find it difficult to separate the feelings of another with their own emotions. This can lead to difficulties in relationships with others and a desire to ‘fix’ others. When this happens Empaths must learn to step back and own their own energy space. They may seek help to do so.

Empaths need to learn to clean their own energy, create a sacred space to live within and observe their own emotional responses; as well as put up healthy boundaries.

Empaths make good healers as they have the ability to learn to work with energy. Those who can master themselves will make excellent therapists, carers, teachers and leaders. Empathy must be kept in balance in order to do the greatest good.

If you are an Empath I would love to see your comments,
