Empaths: What is an empath and are you one?
Have you ever wondered why people who are strangers or people you barely know open up to you and share their most trustworthy thoughts? Do you have an immediate connection with animals? Are you unable to watch violence, cruelty or tragedy on television or in movies because your soul simply cannot handle it?
Are you able to know the character of the people you meet from the first meeting?
Do you have a deep spiritual sense and find the world and everything around it to be burdensome? Are you often tired and have physical ailments that cannot be explained medically? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then you may be an empath.
Empaths are very sensitive to the energy and emotions of people, animals, and sometimes even spiritual imprints that exist around them.
Some people are even sensitive to the energy of plants.
This extreme sensitivity applies both to those with whom they are intimately close and to strangers. Empaths feel the world around them and they sense what others feel thanks to their highly developed senses and keen intuition. They often unknowingly internalize the feelings of others and interpret those feelings as their own.
Just as with any other sane individual, empaths have the capacity to empathize with those with whom they interact.
They are able to understand how others feel and understand what they are going through. What sets empaths apart is their above-average level of empathy, and the ease with which they can connect to the feelings of others. And where others experience a feeling of empathy when interacting, empaths do not always do so. They do not need to rely on the physical senses of sight, hearing or touch, to absorb the emotion and energies around them. They can feel and internalize the emotions of people close or distant.
Busy places like shopping malls, supermarkets, stadiums or movie theaters can overwhelm the empath's senses.
They can invade him with unpleasant emotions, emotions that he feels as if they were his own, he absorbs all the emotions around him. Environments with a heavy, low energy atmosphere, such as nursing homes, retirement homes, and hospitals can cause feelings of depression, physical ailments, and fatigue in the empath. Thrift stores, consignment stores, and antique stores, places that carry residual energy from previous owners can be very draining for empaths because they may have a second-hand car or house that is already absorbing all of it. their energy.
Empaths are always looking for solutions, answers and knowledge.
They are deep thinkers. Empaths believe there is a solution to every problem, they will feel frustrated and uncomfortable until they find it, and they will search relentlessly until they are satisfied. Those who are spiritually connected will ask God or the universe for guidance and answers. They often sense synchronicities, phenomena that occur, but because they are more connected than most people to the supernatural world, they more easily recognize these coincidences as indicative signs.
Empaths have a great interest in metaphysics.
Having likely had paranormal experiences, whether near-death experiences, out-of-body experiences, psychic power, or a connection to those who have joined the Afterlife, they easily integrate this reality into their physical experience without ask questions. They naturally know that these things do not require a rational explanation.
With a natural ability to tap into Universal energy and heal others, empaths tend to be drawn to
and to work in the field of holistic therapies and in the field of energy. Their sensitivity allows them to feel the emotions of others, influence their body and mind, and create harmony within themselves. To do this, empaths must learn ways to prevent other people's energy from becoming their own. Otherwise, the balance and harmony they create in others will cause imbalance and lack of harmony in themselves.
Empaths are generally non-violent, non-aggressive people who enjoy peaceful and harmonious environments.
The lack of harmony makes them uncomfortable. They will do everything possible to avoid confrontations. If ever they are faced with turbulence, they will play the role of peacemaker and they will seek to resolve this problem as quickly as possible.
They are very sensitive to violence, cruelty and tragedy, whether real or not. Watching this on TV, in movies, or reading anything about someone else's physical or psychological suffering is almost unbearable. The suffering of people, children, or animals becomes their own suffering.
Empaths connect deeply to animals of all species.
They vibrate with their energy, they love their purity, and they greatly appreciate their unconditional love. Empaths often prefer the company of animals to that of humans, they often have one or more pets near them. Many empaths become vegan or vegetarian because they can feel the vibrations of the animal they are eating. They feel the fear and suffering of the animal. They don't understand why a beautiful animal doesn't have the same rights as humans.
Since empaths feel things very deeply...
They often work as volunteers, dedicating their time with passion to helping animals, children, those in need, or the environment. They are very attentive people who are truly interested in the happiness and well-being of others.
Due to their ability to know things without being told, they can be a great asset to others as they tend to know where others are coming from. But with this ability, it is very difficult for others to lie, hide their emotions, or hide behind a facade. They know the feelings and intentions of other people, even if they have just met them. They can even read body language and notice subtle inflections in speech that are undetectable to others.
Empaths feel very uncomfortable if they realize that someone is lying to them, manipulating them, or being fake to them.
They do not accept or tolerate this kind of behavior from anyone, including themselves because of the way it makes them feel. And although they are basically very tolerant, they are not at all tolerant of unnecessary drama, selfish or self-centered behavior; especially that of narcissists. They cannot tolerate negativity from others, especially judgment and jealousy. These attitudes immediately absorb their energy.
They can't lie to themselves, they can't pretend to like something they don't like, whether it's social activities or their job. They must feel useful while doing this work or it will eventually make them sick emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Many empaths work in creative fields such as art, dance, writing, or music; areas that allow them to express themselves, that nourish their soul, it is essential to their well-being.
They also cannot pretend to be happy when they are not, and unhappiness can return at any moment.
Empaths are very prone to mood swings due to the bombardment of overwhelming energies, negative or positive. They can be easy-going and happy one minute and miserable the next with no logical transition. When they are unhappy, they cannot hide it, even if they want to. Everyone can read it on their face.
There is one thing that makes them very unhappy and that is the restrictions.
Empaths are spirits who must have freedom of movement and expression. They feel imprisoned by control, by rules that are too strict, or that they don't believe in, and by routine. Many of their life experiences have been daring or adventurous, they have a great need to discover the true pulse of life, whether good or bad. And to have had these various life experiences of which they are aware on many subjects. They often appear to be wise people to others, however they are usually silent about what they have accomplished unless asked. They are more comfortable noticing the accomplishments and qualities of others.
Empaths exude a lot of warmth and compassion that draws others to them.
People who don’t know them unconsciously feel it and open up to them to tell them personal things about their lives. Before they realized what they did, they opened their hearts to us. Animals become attached to them very quickly for the same reasons.
Their deepest connections are with those who are like them, those who understand them,
and those with whom they can be expressive, open, and frank. They can form lasting friendships with those who are not like them, but they will always feel like there is something missing in the relationship.
Empaths have trouble staying focused on things that don't stimulate their minds.
They are dreamers who get bored or easily distracted. When we don't stimulate them, their mind wanders, sometimes it even becomes detached from physical reality.
They live in duality. Empaths exist in the dark, dense, negativity-filled, low energy world called Earth, but they exist mentally in the pure, high energy, optimistic world of spirit. It is difficult for them to stay grounded because they understand the freedom of the alternate world, but they must stay grounded because that is how they accomplish their earthly missions.
