Being an empath is an incredible blessing. You have a gift that helps you expererince life in a profound way. If you learn to embrace your empathic abilites- you can easily create a life of love, joy, peace and purpose.
EMPATHS HAVE THE GIFT OF PERCEIVING, FEELING AND KNOWING THE VIBRATIONAL ENERGIES, THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS OF OTHERS AROUND THEM, AS WELL AS THE COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS. SO YES, THE CURRENT STATE OF THE WORLD IS LIKELY AFFECTING YOU CONSIDERABLY. It’S LIKE YOU CAN EXPERIENCE MANY LIVES AT ONCE, PARTICULARLY THOSE WHO ARE MOST CLOSE TO YOU. YOUR EMOTIONAL DEPTH IS VERY EXPANSIVE, MEANING THAT YOU EXPERIENCE EMOTIONS ON A MUCH DEEPER LEVEL THAN MOST PEOPLE. YOU CAN TRULY UNDERSTAND PEOPLE’S PERSPECTIVES, HARDSHIPS AND PAIN WITHOUT HAVING TO EXPERIENCE THEM FOR YOURSELF FIRSTHAND. THIS ABILITY ENABLES YOU TO EMPATHIZE, AND TUNE INTO WHAT THE PERSON IS FEELING AS A RESULT. YOU ARE ALSO VERY GOOD WITH KNOWING WHAT THAT PERSON NEEDS IN ORDER TO HEAL AND WORDS THAT CAN HELP THEM. EMPATHS ARE THE HEALERS OF THE WORLD.
EMPATHS HAVE STRENGTH THAT MOST DO NOT REALIZE OR EVEN UNDERSTAND. OTHERS MAY EVEN SHAME YOU FOR YOUR SENSITIVITY. WHAT THEY DON’T KNOW IS THAT MANY PEOPLE CAN’T HANDLE EMOTIONAL DEPTH. YOUR RESILANCY IS UNMATCHED, THIS IS WHY YOU MAY HAVE HAD GREAT HARDSHIPS AND MAY EVEN HAVE EXPERIENCED A DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL IN YOUR LIFETIME. YOUR SOUL HAS DEPTH AND KNOWLEDGE THAT YOU CAN TAP INTO. THIS IS A SUPER POWER AND CAN HELP YOU CO-CREATE A LIFE BEYOND YOUR WILDEST DREAMS WHEN YOU LEARN TO NAGIVATE IT.
IF YOU ARE AN EMPATH, MAINTAINING BALANCE IS SO IMPORTANT FOR YOUR WELL-BEING. YOU’LL WANT TO TUNE INWARD AND BECOME MORE AWARE OF YOUR EMOTIONS, SO THAT YOU CAN DETERMINE WHAT BELONGS TO YOU AND WHAT YOU’VE PICKED UP FROM OTHERS. THIS WILL HELP YOU LET GO OF WHAT’S NOT YOURS. HOLDING ONTO EVERYONE ELSE’S CHAOTIC ENERGY CAN LEAVE YOU DEPLETED, CONFUSED AND EVEN SICK. GOING OUT IN NATURE, MEDITATION, EXERCISE, YOGA OR TAKING A SALT BATH ARE ALL GREAT WAYS TO REBALANCE AND CLEANSE YOUR ENERGY.
I EVEN CARRY CRYSTALS ON ME, TO HELP ABSORB ANY NEGATIVE ENERGY I PICK UP IN MY ENVIRONMENTS AROUND ME. CRYSTALS HELP REPEL AND PURIFY LOWER VIBRATIONS AND NEGATIVE ENERGY SO THAT IT DOESN’T AFFECT ME AS MUCH. MAY SOUND CRAZY TO SOME, BUT I’M A HYPER SENSITIVE EMPATH, SO FOR ME I’VE HAD TO LEGITLY LEARN METHODS TO SHIELD MYSELF. A FEW OF MY FAVORITES ARE QUARTZ CRYSTAL, SELENITE, ROSE QUARTZ, AMETHYST AND BLACK TOURMALINE.
Below I share 4 TOUGH LESSONS EMPATHS MUST LEARN. THESE ARE ALL LESSONS I’VE EXPERIENCED MYSELF. BY BECOMING MORE AWARE, YOU CAN TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE OF OVERWHELM. TO AN AMAZING JOURNEY. HOPING THAT MY LESSONS LEARNED CAN HELP YOU TOO…
- TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF FIRST: This is something I talk about alot. You need to take of yourself with self-love. You wear your self out by taking care of everyone else before you care for yourself. This can lead you into a cycle of low energy, stress, unfullfillment and can even lead into sickness and disease. Take it from me- I had to learn this lesson the hard way over the course of my life. Read my story here... Love yourself too- YOU DESERVE IT! Do not guilt yourself into believing otherwise. This also means YOU ALSO NEED TO ALLOW OTHERS TO HELP YOU! You need fair energy exchange and balance in your life in order to thrive. Create a healthy balance between giving and receiving. This will help you restore, develop healthier relationships and manifest more abundance and support into your life.
- PUT UP BOUNDARIES: Putting up boundaries may distress others- DO IT ANYWAY! Unhealthy boudaries can invade your energy and leave you feeling depleted with huge shifts in lower energy mood swings. This is because you are not properly saying no, speaking your truth, or you’re just absorbing the emotions of others as your own. It’s ok to say no. Create boundaries of what you don’t want to put up with anymore. This practice protects your energy. In my experience, when I wasn’t putting healthy boundaries in place- I felt like I was carrying everyone’s “junk”. Shaking off what doesn’t belong to you emotionally, physically and energetically can be liberating. Once you start paying attention and become more aware of your energy-you will begin to quickly notice how others can impact you. If you are an empath- these experiences can feel extreme at times.

- IF A SITUATION IS PAINFUL, YOU MUST GET OUT: As we mature, we begin to feel resistance to experiences and people in our lives that are no longer serving us. This is where we must go within to determine what is best for us. This may mean it’s time to move on, let go, step away or if you can’t remove yourself entirely from something- what healthy boundaries can you develop? Sometimes we put up with thinking that we are stuck in a situation- you do have a choice. Do what is right from you. I continue to learn this lesson myself- you need to do what is best for your well-being. Putting up with things that are painful is not the journey to healing. You need to understand what’s best for you. This can also mean letting go of feelings that you are holding onto. For years I grasped onto the feeling of grief. When I lost my Mom and Sister, I was devistated. I held onto the pain, instead of honoring it, letting it process and letting it go. It’s taken time to move through this healing journey, but it’s also been one of the most liberating experiences of my life.
- SOMETIMES YOU CAN’T HELP THE ONES YOU WANT TO HELP: Empath lesson 101 here…YOU CAN’T FIX EVERYONE. It’s in your DNA to heal others, believe me…I understand. Not everyone wants help or is ready to heal. Everyone has their own journey. You need to respect where others are at on their path. You may not be able to help everyone…and that’s okay. Let it be. You can give people the tools to learn and heal- but you can’t make them use them. When they are ready, they will try. Sometimes we can get so fixated on getting others to see where they’re stuck-we end up using manipluation to “help”. Don’t do this to yourself or others. It can create unhealthy codependencies. Listen to your higher self for guidance- it will show you the way. An easy way to learn how to do this is to get yourself grounded and check into your feelings- does the situation feel light or heavy. A feeling of lightness is what will point you in the right direction with your actions and choices.
You can thrive as an empath. You were gifted the blessing of being able to tune into the world on profoundly deeper levels for a reason. Your gifts are a part of living out your purpose on here on earth.
Life presents us with opportunites for growth and healing. It’s when we allow ourselves to become aware- that we open the doors for miracles to occur.
Embrace you. Go within, discover your gifts (we all have them) and cultivate them. You are here to learn and use your gifts to be of service to bring love and healing into this world.
Embrace your journey 💚
