INTRODUCTION
Being an empath is a great gift that comes with a lot of responsibilities.
If you are extremely sensitive to energy, you may be an empath. And in this book, I'm going to teach you how to look at your empathic abilities in a new way so that you can thrive in this world.
I'm here to help you open your heart, heal your past, and live with purpose. In this book, we're going to talk about what it means to be an empath and how you can develop your empathic abilities so that you become empowered and more powerful as an empath, as opposed to feeling like youre some fragile, sensitive being that can't stand the energies of a harsh world.
I started learning how to deal with my sensitivity challenges when I was 23 (after my burnout). I have always profoundly felt the emotions of other people as if they were my own. But after my exhaustion, I started learning how to turn my empathy into a gift and help others do the same.
About 20 percent of the entire population is highly sensitive. I was born highly empathic and sensitive. So, you're not alone.
For more than ten years, I have assisted hundreds of people all over the world to turn their sensitivities into a strength instead of a weakness. And if you are an empath or a highly sensitive person, often overwhelmed by everything you are feeling, I can help you too.
Empaths are highly sensitive people - they feel everything. They are good listeners, naturally giving and always understanding. They may often absorb energy from the people around them.
Their sensitivities can be overwhelming in romantic relationships as many empaths stay single because they've not learned to manage their special gift. When they absorb negativity and toxic emotions, it may lead to depression, sex and drug binges, and even panic attacks.
But the good news is that being an empath doesn't have to make you feel overwhelmed all the time because you can learn to center yourself, refrain from shouldering responsibilities all the time and free yourself. Your empathic ability is a gift, not a curse. Being an empath is an excellent gift, but it usually comes with challenges.
You encounter challenges due to your empathic abilities, but with training and a full understanding of your abilities, you can thrive. I will provide you the essential building blocks for establishing a formidable, energetic grounding that enables you to stay connected to yourself while interacting with others. I'm particularly passionate about this topic because I've had to develop practical techniques to manage the challenges of being an empath myself.
These strategies have helped me protect my sensitivities and maximize their benefits. In this book, I will show you how to become a balanced and happy empath. You must learn how to avoid taking on the energy and stresses of others. Being an empath is a mark of strength. It is not something to be ashamed of as empaths have great introspective brains - nothing can escape their attention.
They can often know people's intentions as they feel what the other people feel - they can read people. However, untrained empaths can quickly get overwhelmed and suffer from constant stress, fatigue, unexplained aches, and pains. It is, therefore, essential if you're an empath to stay grounded and connected to yourself.
This book aims to help you experience your empathy as a strength, overcome your fears, and become proud of your gift. It will help you learn practical strategies to help you stay connected to yourself as you navigate life with ease.
Let's get started.
CHAPTER 1: WHAT IS AN EMPATH?
Empaths are gifted at detecting, reading, and processing the energy around them. An empath is a fine-tuned instrument of energy reading.
An empath can psychically tune in to the emotional experience of a person, place, or animal. They can sense what another person is saying even before the individual utters a single word. They are sensitive to the visible as well as the invisible. They are communication experts and can quickly and proficiently pick up on body language, tone of voice, body movements, the words people choose when they speak, and the words they avoid, the logic they use, and other unseen energies. These are the clues that empaths utilized to read people.
You may be surprised to learn that everything around us has an energetic vibration or frequency. An empath can sense these vibrations and recognize even the slightest change. Some empaths are so sensitive to the energies of the people and environment surrounding them that they absorb the foreign energies into their bodies, allowing them to feel emotions that aren't even theirs. This is why empaths must learn how to block or shield themselves from unwanted energies.
Words hold an energetic pattern that originates with the individual thinking, reading, or speaking them. Every word holds a specific meaning to each of us, and these meanings elicit an emotional response. As we utter the word, it becomes empowered. For example, the word "hate," whether it be read, spoken, or thought about, often evokes an immediate emotional response. The individual who is reading, speaking, or thinking about "hate" adds their emotional energy to that already powerful word. This energy is what an empath senses, even if there is no other physical indication from the speaker. That is the meaning of the phrase "getting a vibe" from someone.
Empaths have a deep sense of knowing, making them compassionate, considerate, and truly understanding others. They are affectionate in personality and expression, which makes them great listeners and counselors. People, including strangers, will seek them out for guidance in all matters of life, and they, in turn, will help them, sometimes even to their detriment, sacrificing their own needs.
Empaths generally have inclinations for creativity in all forms: art, music, dance, poetry, and entertainment. They are imaginative and interested in many cultures and will seek to learn about them with an open mind. Empaths can be found in every society and every culture throughout the world.
Empaths are not only open; they can also be the complete opposite. They may be loners who are quiet, withdrawn, depressed, and erratic, for it is easier to shield yourself away from others when you are a psychic sponge soaking in everyone else's negativity. It can certainly be overwhelming. It is because of this that most empaths may find themselves continually drawn to the solitude of nature. The earth's energy is grounding and can recharge their overdraw and spiritual psyche. In this way, nature herself easily becomes an essential element in the life of an empath.
