The Empath Blues: 4 Ways to Relieve Emotional Fatigue

By Elise Lebeau

According to wikipedia, "decisional fatigue refers to the deteriorating quality of decisions made by an individual, after a long session of decision making". This concept has been studied extensively in psychology where people who have to make a lot of decisions as part of their daily job, like judges for example, become worn out over time and tend to make poorer decision later in the day. The mind becomes exhausted and has a hard time evaluating trade offs, a critical skill in decision making.

In a similar vein, empaths can become overly activated by the constant emotional information that they have to process. This is especially true for Impaired empaths who have a hard time regulating the influx of emotions they pick up from other people. Overtime, their ability to appropriately respond to emotions can become erratic, leaving them feeling powerless and depressed.

Under a spell of the empath blues, you might start to feel sad without knowing why. You are also more likely to feel depressed later in the day, waking up fine in the morning but experiencing a decline in your positive emotions as the day goes by. The empath blues is typically temporary but can become chronic if left unattended. Please note that anyone who feels depressed over a long period of time might be suffering from clinical depression and should immediate seek medical help as well as therapeutic counseling.

So what can you do when you find yourself in the throes of the empath blues? There is a very common misconception that the remedy for emotional fatigue is to try to be "happier". Meaning that you should try to think positively, even though you feel utterly crappy. Have you ever been with someone who was trying to cheer you up while you felt sad? Despite their best efforts, you kinda want them to shut up and go away.

This reaction makes perfect sense when you consider that alleviating emotional fatigue requires emotional quiet, which is the absence of strong emotions. Feeling happy is a strong emotion and strong emotions, whether positive or negative, are exactly what caused emotional fatigue in the first place! Not only that but trying to cheer up on the spot takes a huge amount of effort when you are feeling sad. You're trying to jump from one end of the emotional spectrum (sadness) into the opposite end (happiness) while being exhausted, so you're more likely to fall flat on your face mid jump.

Most empaths are not familiar with the state of emotional quiet required to address emotional fatigue. They are so used to feel tugged in all kinds of emotional direction that feeling nothing is often equated with feeling dead or empty. They wonder if something's wrong. And yet, this is no different than sleep for the body! We need down time where we let out body, mind and emotions rest.

Fortunately, empath are often very intuitive beings. They feel drawn to what is good for them. That's why if you're an empath you'll probably recognize some of your own urges in the 4 most effective ways to relieve emotional fatigue.

Being alone: Empaths need time by themselves where they are less likely to be tuning into the emotions of others around them. It doesn't mean you're anti-social or that you don't like people! It just means you need to refuel before going back out into the world. Make sure you have plenty of alone time when you're doing something that is not emotional, such as knitting, gardening, cooking, etc. I like to play video games which requires strategy but has no emotional triggers for me. Be creative!

Being in nature: Many empaths report feeling most at peace in nature, among trees and in large bodies of water like the ocean or a lake. With good reasons! Trees and water provide a natural "white noise" when it comes to emotional vibration. It's like wearing a noise canceling headset to drown out the emotions of people. I walk 5 miles a week in the forest around my house which rejuvenates and energizes me for the day.

Being physical active: Physical activity can provide a great buffer against emotional fatigue by taking your focus away from emotions and into your own physical body. For our purposes, the physical activity needs to be challenging enough that it requires your full attention. Rock climbing and yoga are my favorite activities to get emotionally quiet.

Meditation: Meditation provides a powerful way to guide your focus away from other people. This can be very challenging for empaths who tend to always tune into others. It can feel unnatural or difficult at first. But being able to create a quiet space within, whether by focusing on your breath or by following a guided audio meditation, can give you the space you need to rest both your mind and your delicate emotional system.

Are Your Children Empaths? Teach Them How To Manage Their Emotional Intelligence

By Elise Lebeau

We are all born with the ability to sense emotions in others. It's is a basic survival skill for humans and animals. This ability usually subsides in childhood as we learn to focus more on verbal cues than emotional ones.

Empaths, on the other hand, have a heightened sensitivity to other people's emotions that keeps developing over time. As other kids stop picking up emotional signals, empath children become totally overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of emotional information that they receive in social settings.

Since most parents do not know if they are empaths, they don't recognize the signs in their kids. It also prevents them for effectively teaching their kids how to manage emotional overflow. For a more in depth discussion on resources for adult empaths, you can read my articles on this topic here.

Emotional Intelligence is defined as "the ability, capacity, or skill to perceive, assess, and manage the emotions of one's self, of others, and of groups" (Salovey and Mayer, 1990).

When you teach your children how to manage their Empath skills, you are developing their Emotional Intelligence.

There are three fundamental concepts that need to be addressed in order to effectively manage emotional information.

1. Empowerment: Do you control your empath skills or do they control you (curse or blessing?)
2. Centeredness: Can you always hear your own internal self above all (raise above the chaos)
3. Flow: Does emotional information come in AND out freely (do you have an outlet?)

Is your child an empath?

Children have a different way of handling their empath abilities. Their range of available response is smaller, so they typically pick very quiet (as a way to calm down the emotional chaos they feel) or acting out (as a way to be louder than the emotional noise).

Keep in mind that children learn how to manage their empath abilities by watching you handle yours. If you're an empath but don't know how to handle it, get help for yourself first!

These are behaviors I have observed in empath children who don't know how to handle their abilities:

 •Gets unusually quiet (often seen as shyness) around crowds but is fine with the immediate family or smaller groups. Your child is trying to feel empowered and centered by withdrawing from the world. •Gets physically or verbally out of control around people but is mellow at home. Your child is trying to find an outlet to the overwhelming flow of incoming emotions.
•Resists going to bed or wakes up often. Your child is trying to stay centered while surrounded by the emotional activity of adults.
•Catches every illness available (cold, flu, ear infections, etc.). Your child is trying to feel empowered in shutting down unwanted emotional activity. Being sick is often the only way a child can use to withdraw from social situations.

Of course, this describes about 85% of children. I believe that most children do suffer from a mismanagement of their empath skills. I also believe that more and more empath children are born every day. So 85% is not a shocking number to me.

The bottom line is: can you help your child have a happier life by using empath tools? If it does help, then you're on the right track!

Disclaimer: This checklist is not a diagnostic or treatment tool. I am not a doctor or a mental health professional. Some of the characteristics of empaths can be diagnosed as ADD, agoraphobia or clinical depression. Contact your health care professional if you have any questions, need diagnostic or treatment for a mental health issue.

In order to help your child, you need tools that address each of the three concepts (empowerment, centeredness and flow). This is a technique I developed with my son.  Empath Anchoring Technique:

When your child gets overwhelmed, she often just needs a point of reference to stay grounded. You can be that anchor.

1. Calm your own emotions. You can't be a positive anchor if you're upset or angry.
2. Tell her quietly "Look me in the eyes" (point to your eyes) and put your hand on her chest. Make sure you have eye contact for the next step!
3. Tell her "We're going to take 5 breaths together and count them". Let your child breathe however she wants. You're just accompanying her, counting out loud with each exhalation.

Breathing quiets down emotional noise, re-centers the mind and helps children feel empowered by having something they can do when they feel uncomfortable. Include empath anchoring it in your night time routine!

Telepathy: A Characteristic of a Highly Sensitive Person

A type of energetic communication is employed whenever empathy is in operation. This subconscious or telepathic connection is what transfers information when you tap into the thoughts, feelings, or illnesses of others—even those of spirits that do not have a physical body (distinguishing between spirits).

Unfortunately, our society, Hollywood movies, and religious programming have caused many to believe that the unseen realm either does not exist or is something to be terribly afraid of. None of these sources can be trusted when they present ideas that conflict with your personal experience.

Empaths already possess the ability to pick up non-verbal information. I foresee a day when we will all be able to read one another’s minds, which means some of us are going to be quite embarrassed when we are unable to lie to one another. I share this next story to show you how innocently and easily telepathy operates.

As my husband handed me a letter, he said, “Guess who I saw today?”

Looking at the return address I thought it read, Hughes. “Wow! I haven't heard from Leslee Hughes in a long time,” I said as I opened the letter.

Then I realized the mail was from a client named Hinkes. Bewildered at how I could have seen Hughes on the envelope, I laid it aside and asked my husband, “So, who did you see today?”

“You just said her name. I saw Leslee Hughes.”

I had telepathically retrieved that name from my husband’s mind. My third eye confirmed the answer by causing my physical eyes to see her name on the envelope. Empathic people can increase this telepathic ability as they develop their intuition.

Music and Sound

Take your focus away from earth-bound thought patterns by surrounding yourself with music or getting into nature. Sound is the vibration of life. Flow with it. Give yourself permission to sing along, relax, take a nap, dance, walk, or whatever you feel led to do. Shaking a rattle, beating a drum, playing an instrument, chiming a Tibetan bowl, or making a gentle or repetitive sound can also help you clear your chakras, aura, and body.

Empathy

Nervous vibe around the heart
That holds up castle walls
and keep you
Lonely, seeking
Retreating, reaching
Like a weight on the chest
Holding back all the rest
The lid to keep love safe inside

No!
Open the doors and let love fly
A safety net is in place this time
To keep you from going
where you’ve already been
and want to not be anymore
Because it hurts
to have the gift
you hate to love
the curse
you love to hate

You feel too much
You know, you see
Like a sponge, soaking up sea water
You thrive in what drowns you
And close off to what frees you

How Babies Demonstrate Empathy

Empathy is what makes other people matter to us and reminds us to acknowledge the people around us as we understand and share their feelings. At what stage in our social development does empathy begin?
As an intuitive counselor, Dr. Caron Goode is an expert on the early development of empathy and a child’s sensitivity to others. She notes that empathy exists in early mother-infant bonding. Even before birth, a baby in the womb is sensitive to the mother’s feelings, whether positive, neutral, or negative. Once born, a baby shows receptivity to both parents’ anger, tension, and depression, as well as their caring, responsiveness, and love.

In an article titled “Empathy: Big Feelings from Little Ones,” the Talaris Research Institute concludes that life starts with a biological bent toward empathy. From birth, babies have the ability to respond to the emotions of others. You’ve probably noticed how they imitate your facial expressions, smiling in response to your smile. They also may cry if they hear another baby cry. This type of response is a step in the development of empathy and the ability to share the feelings of another person.

Martin Hoffman, a psychology professor at New York University who did the first studies on infant empathy in the 1970s, questioned why babies cry when they hear another baby crying. Does this mean that the baby is truly concerned for his fellow human, or just annoyed by the noise? A study built on Hoffman's work was conducted in Italy in which researchers played for infants a recording of other babies crying. As predicted, the tears started flowing. But the odd thing is that when researchers played babies a recording of their own cries, they rarely cried. This shows that there is some rudimentary form of empathy in place, right from birth, but Hoffman also noted that the emotion tends to fade over time. Babies older than six months no longer cry when they hear another baby crying, but they may grimace when they notice the discomfort of others.

Have you noticed your baby showing signs of being empathic?

Emotionally and Physically Detaching: A Tool for Empaths

An empath's best coping method is the ability to emotionally and physically detach from others or a situation. An empath is a feeler, but we know when we’ve reached our limit. If the emotional burden of another becomes too great, we can pull away without being hateful, angry, or upset with that person. It is an essential act of self-preservation that must be utilized.

I find that being in a crowd for a long period of time is still overwhelming for me sometimes. So, for social gatherings where there will be a lot of unfamiliar energy, I either stay near someone I know or engage in conversation with someone whose energy feels good—I generally gravitate toward children! If I start to feel overwhelmed, I’ll find a corner where I can observe the action without being antisocial or placing myself right in the middle of things. That allows me to take breaks without being missed while I go outside or to a quiet room to get away from the cacophony of energy. If my husband goes with me to a social event and I start feeling over stimulated, I can stand near him or hold his hand for a moment to help ground myself with his energy. If I do this several times, he knows I am ready to leave and will look for a way to politely say our goodbyes. If I am going to a function without my husband, I may drive my own car so I’m not stranded if I need to leave.

How Empathy is Used for Good: Tom’s Story

Tom Goode “feels” people's pain, sees and senses the patterns empathically, and does his healing work using these senses. He first discovered he was an empath when he began a sales career and could tell when a person was going to buy and when they were not. He says that empathy is no more or less a gift than being able to play baseball, though clearly some people are better at it than others. Tom says that most people are out of their bodies, so numb to its feelings and so unfamiliar with how they themselves feel that they cannot differentiate their own energy from the energy of others.

Being empathetic is useful to Tom because it allows him to know the truth or falsity in situations and people. As he became more sensitive, a trait that can be cultivated, he began to use empathy to assist others. If you were to call him and ask for facilitation in finding an answer to a problem area in your life, dissolving a pain, or correcting an energetic imbalance, he would “read” your energy and the emotion/thought behind it to assist you in finding your own answers. He says, “It saves you, as a client, much time and money for me to be able to do this by telephone, rather than have you come to an office or other physical location.” Empathy is useful in correcting symptoms of imbalance in animals as well.

Feeling the Energy of Certain Places

Mt. Shasta, the Himalayas, Sedona, and other places around the world have a high vortex of extraordinary energy that you can feel when you are there. As empaths, we can feel energy anywhere—good, bad, or indifferent. We even feel the energy at the Wal-Mart!
When some empaths walk into a shopping center they may suddenly get very sluggish because the energy is very heavy whenever people are making a lot of choices. Decisions about spending money, may generate a feeling of lack, anger, or fear. They see someone wearing a nice outfit and perhaps there is jealousy. There are a lot of negative or lower vibrations in public places—some tend to have more harmful or uncomfortable unpleasant energies than others. But, sensitive people can feel all of it.

It’s important to focus on the positive, uplifting energy of your own divinity within you whenever you are in public. Think of how you feel the wonderful divine energy when you are in the beauty of nature! Mentally go there to rejuvenate and renew yourself by feeling grateful, blessed, loved, and happy. By spending five minutes in your Sacred Heart Center before you leave home, you can carry this high-vibrational energetic signature with you all day. It will beam forth from your heart full of love. A cup that is overflowing cannot receive anything more, it must spill over. And, since your fullness is from an unlimited Source, you never have to run dry; you can continually be filled with Spirit.

Ways to Ground and Center Your Energy

A few months ago Sheryl Glick was my guest on We Are One in Spirit Podcast. She spoke about empaths managing energy. I’ll share a few highlights from that interview here and you may listen to the entire interview at http://dld.bz/bqFzj.

Sheryl: Before I go into any challenging situation, let’s say I’m going to a meeting where there is going to be some confrontation, I ground myself visualizing ropes from my feet and hips going down into the ground and anchoring myself. Then, breathing up the divine energy of the earth and bringing down energy from above, I closed my chakras so that I as a sensitive will not feel every bit of anger or discouragement from other people in the meeting.

Depending on how toxic the environment might be, I put armor. Think of Joan of Arc, a beautiful girl long ago who was so bold and beautiful. She listened to spirit to know what she had to do for her life pattern. She used armor across her chakras, across her chest, her heart, her solar plexus, and over her third eye. I ask my guides and other vibrational beings, loved ones, angels, whoever walks with me, to be around me and help me listen and give out whatever input necessary at the time, and to pay attention to any signs from people who need a little help. If I can be of help, I will certainly give it but my physical being is protected, my energy is strong, and no matter how toxic or what kind of energy I am safe. I’m not going to pick up energy from people who are very needy and don’t know how to get energy from above. Those who are not in alignment with Spirit think that they will feel better taking energy from someone else or upsetting someone else who has a strong sense of self. These are energy vampires. They want to feel good, healthy, happy, and strong like spiritually-minded people. They just don’t know how to do it yet. They are just functioning at a lower level and they need help to come up but you certainly can’t change them. They have to change themselves and they have to want to make the shift. But you can be an example to show them how to be strong and courageous and protect yourself.

Yvonne: I like to do a meditation as well as grounding and centering. Grounding and centering is of vital importance to those who are empaths. It’s a tool of standard equipment you must have.

Sheryl: You can put yourself in a cylinder of light. You can picture yourself in an elevator of Plexiglas. You can think of yourself washing out the toxins like being in a waterfall in nature and letting everything that does not pertain to your thoughts and other people’s behavior just float out of you. There are many different ways but they do work. I have learned how powerful these visualizations and concentrated thoughts for protecting yourself. You can be the healthy vibrant soul that you’re going to be and the other influences will not influence you so much.

Yvonne: Exactly. Instead of putting up walls, you’re just setting healthy energetic boundaries. The same you would do when you lock your doors at night before you go to bed. You put whatever measures in place you need to protect yourself.

Sheryl: Yes, to be comfortable, so we’re at ease and there is no disease. Disease really is just discomfort in the body. It comes from thoughts and patterns in behavior that we learned from others that were not good for us so we have to let go of all that. We have got to return to our own destiny and our pattern of life and what we came here to do. To fill our promises to those in spirit and when we return to them and say we gave it our all that’s all we really need to do and give it a good shot.

Yvonne: Thank you so much for sharing with us today, Sheryl. It’s such a wonderful insight. Thank you all for participating in this call and Sheryl for answering questions and giving us some interesting food for thought.

Sheryl: Let’s all be grateful for the life we have and the people we have in our life. Instead of concentrating on our challenges, let’s look for the positive. Let’s look for the good in people. Let’s look for the good in ourselves, and love ourselves so we know we’re doing the best we can and accentuate the positive. This message came from my mom this week. What you put your energy into what you put your thoughts. This manifests quickly so we don’t want to accentuate anything that we don’t feel will be best for ourselves and for others.

Empaths Learning to Manage Energy

A few months ago Sheryl Glick was my guest on We Are One in Spirit Podcast. She spoke about empaths managing energy. I’ll share a few highlights from that interview here and you may listen to the entire interview at http://dld.bz/bqFzj.

Sheryl: There’s so much interest now in nutrition and exercise, walking, being in nature, listening to music, eliminating stress. These are all beginning awarenesses to understanding that we are energy beings having a physical life. We need to find ways to make ourselves thrive. The definition of healing is a multi-dimensional process. We work with spirit for our healing. We’re not just working with medical people, medicines, and surgeries to heal our physical body. We’re working with people in the spirit realm who are helping us learn more about ourselves through our strengths and our possibilities for growth on all levels. It’s not just about ridding the body of disease symptoms; it’s about incorporating all aspects of our physical and spiritual needs and embracing all situations, no matter how difficult. They come to us as an opportunity to grow our levels of courage, honesty, integrity, and love. Our level of loving is an indicator of true healing. That’s when the mind body and spirit cooperate.

Yvonne: Healing is not just the absence of symptoms, it’s the whole body well-being. The mind-body-spirit well-being, which means having peace no matter what the circumstances we are in.

Sheryl: Right, and allowing and accepting any challenge that comes without saying, “Why me?” and blaming other people. It’s about going beyond judgment to say, “This is my journey and if Spirit has given me this—whatever event we are involved in—there is a reason for it and I’m going to do the best I can to make choices to help myself and help others.” That’s healing. That’s being confident in who you are, loving your life, loving people in spirit, loving people here and not being afraid to lose anything. You never really lose anything. Every loss or when a person leaves your life is another opportunity for you to experience new people and new understandings and to grow, expand, and evolve. That’s what we’re here in this life to do.

Yvonne: Sheryl you mentioned that you’ve learned as an empath how to protect yourself. If you could share a tip or two on how you protect yourself when you are in a public place where there is a lot of energy brewing about around you. That means staying in integrity during trials.

Carol (a listener calling in): Look at the ugliness with the banking fraud going on globally right now and corruption in general. No matter what it looks like we have to keep our integrity, our connection to spirit, our sense of love and what’s right.

Sheryl: We’re all very concerned about the changes coming now in 2012. There’s a big shift in people’s DNA. Originally, we had 12 spirals to our DNA when life was more peaceful before all this technological input, before people became so greedy, corrupt, and we had all these scandals in all areas of life: educational, financial, religious. We’re riddled with scandal and corruption right now. There is going to be a return; there’s a change going on and physical life is shifting into a spiritual higher consciousness. It’s happening now. We must be aware of what we know to be correct in order to be conscious citizens to the universe—not just of our little home or town or country—but to the world. And beyond this world but universally, as there are dimensions beyond Earth life. Some people understand energy and understand life after death and understand the progression of the evolution of humanity. Science and spirituality are merging. One is no better than the other; they are equally looking for an answer to who we are, what life is all about, and where we return upon dying.

I was told by my mother in spirit through a medium years ago. She said to me, you have honesty and you have integrity, so stop thinking with your mind. Use your heart and you will be a medium. When she was alive my mother would not have said anything like that or even understood it, but now she’s giving me permission through spirit to go ahead and develop a talent that I didn’t even know I had. It gave me permission to use it to help other people understand more about themselves.

People are awakening to their own energy as a soul being and know that we’re connected to each other. Yes, everyone is connected in the universe. We are in this oneness, like the name of this show says We Are One in Spirit, and one in humanity. We need to treat each other cooperatively instead of through competition and divisiveness. We need to come together in love and harmony. There are a lot of people now finding this path and I trust it will make the shift necessary to change these institutions that have lost their way.

There is nothing to worry about. There is enough of us awakening to the light and vibration of higher energy to get things back on track, and that’s just what we’re doing by talking today.

Yvonne: I’m writing a book called Shifting into Purer Consciousness. It’s all about the 2012 shift and how it’s affecting empaths and people known as walk-ins or those who have received a download of their higher self. When faster-vibrating cosmic energy comes into the Earth plane, as it has been for several years now, it sometimes upsets our entire apple cart until we learn how to integrate those higher vibrations. These energies are being sent to us and we are to employ them to help make the shift in human consciousness happen.

Sheryl: Also my book, Whispers from Spirit, is also a way for people to see that they need to align to higher energy for all positive interactions with other people and to stop taking energy from others because it never works that way. You cannot take what is not yours. The law of attraction says that what you give out is what you receive. To allow the energy to download from Spirit to us we can have an abundant life. We can a healthy vibrant and joyful experience, but too many people live in fear of not having enough in this physical world. So, they are busy blaming, judging others, and taking from others. This is what has caused all these institutions to flounder. So we are here to help people return to their connection to divine energy, which will ultimately clear out a lot of this negative input and vibration. We can’t be with people who are vibrating at a low level or acting at that level. We need to be with people who are more in line with Spirit so we can create this higher vibration and make the changes that are necessary right now at this time.

Yvonne: Right! We’re shifting from a male dominant viewpoint, which is consumerism, greed, competition in a “gimmie gimmie’ mindset, and we’re moving more into a matriarchal divine mother energy that is nurturing, cooperative, and community oriented where everyone is respected and treated equal.

Sheryl: Yes we’re going from a self-absorption ego-minded and dominating energy to a more cooperative, compassionate, loving, and nurturing energy. This goes for men too. Men are going to have a little bit of a harder time because they don’t have the same essence of spiritual energy but they are going to do it too. Not all of them of course.

Empaths Becoming More Aware

One empath I spoke with said he is becoming more aware of the energy around him and the spiritual gifts he has. Yet at the same time he has been somewhat afraid of it. For him, this stems from religious philosophies, which told him that these are not gifts of God—that they are really from the devil. You may have been brought up to believe that these types of sensitivities are evil, but at the same time (even as a child) you’ve had awareness, sensations, feelings, or inner knowings. If so, you may be a little conflicted about how to approach their use. Perhaps you haven’t tried to develop these gifts because you are afraid you’ll go too far or don’t know what kind of boundaries you should set.

First let’s take a look at a beloved teacher, Jesus. Once he was in a crowd of people when a woman touched the hem of his garment. Instantly he knew virtue (healing energy) had gone out of him and he asked, “Who touched me?” He was that sensitive! He felt it when someone was tapping into his electromagnetic field even though she only touched his clothing! I remind you of the verse that tells us that every good and perfect gift, spiritual gifts, comes from God. There are many spiritual gifts listed in 1 Corinthians 13: the gift of prophecy, the gift of tongues, the gift of the interpretation of tongues, discerning of spirit, healing, working of miracles, etc. These are listed for our benefit so we understand that we have been gifted in some way. And there’s a responsibility to use those gifts with love. We weren’t given these gifts to hide them from the world or be afraid of them. They are tools to help us and others. When we have these intuitive gifts, it is very important to nurture our own spirit and set boundaries to keep from being bombarded by energy from everybody out there. We must love ourselves before we can love others or else there’s nothing to give. Spending time with God-Goddess is like refueling a car. You can’t run very long without more juice!

When Jesus was walking the Earth some people wanted to stone him some wanted to throne him. There was a vast difference in perspective and what people thought of him. We empaths have that same dilemma. Other people may not understand you. Maybe they are afraid of the gifts you have. Through our religious teachings we have been taught that the discerning of spirits or being able to communicate with those in the afterlife is of the devil. I’ve been called a necromancer by a close member of my family. Obviously, my gifts are not appreciated there. Does that stop me from using them? No, I use them because I have been given these gifts and I have a responsibility to use them wisely; and that’s what I intend to do. Do I flaunt them in front of my disapproving family members? No, that’s what the Bible refers to as casting your pearls before swine. I'm not calling anyone a pig. I'm saying that there’s no need in putting something so valuable out there and allowing your gifts and sensitivities to be trampled. You can decide who you reveal your gifts to and who you use them with. In fact I’ve made it a practice that unless I have permission to pray for someone I just don’t do it. You can easily get your energy tangled up in someone else’s by meddling energetically in another person’s stuff.

Some people have a great sensitivity to energy and they see things or get impressions. They may intuitively know what is going on in another person’s life. You are not obligated to help every person you encounter, but there is something you can do. Before you decide to get involved pray about it. Breathe deeply for a few minutes and ask yourself if you should do/say anything about what you have discovered. How do you feel when you think of saying something or offering to help? Does it feel right? Do you have pain anywhere in your body or emotions? If so, avoid getting involved on a human level. If a person has not asked you to help them, they may not want your help. Do you feel lighter, joyful, or happy when you think of helping this person or mentioning what you have discerned? If so, ask for wisdom about what to do and how to approach the person.

If you keep thinking of someone and sense they need help, you may or may not need to approach them on a human level. You can always send love and light to guide their way. Simply call upon the angels to help. Imagine a beautiful beam of light coming from the cosmos, maybe pink or green. Pink represents the heart or love; green represents healing. See this beam of light going toward and surrounding the person in need. This powerful energy is like a stem cell that has divine intelligence and knows where it is needed and what to do when it gets there. This not only gives them energy to work with, it gives them clarity so they can make good decisions. They may be able to feel that strength undergirding and supporting them. If something needs changing, they can apply that energy however they want to. If it’s healing, if it’s a relationship, if it’s emotional/mental issue, it doesn’t matter, the love and light is universal. Just send that energy and let them do with it what they want as spirit directs them. By sending love and light, you are not trying to manipulate any outcome or change anything in another person’s circumstances or life. You’re not violating their free will or “fixing” a situation their soul has created from which to learn its lesson. Sending positive energy to someone is like leaving a gift on their doorstep. It provides what they need but they never know who sent the gift and you won’t have to take on other people’s stuff. You will know who and when you need to help as well as how. If you follow your inner guidance, you’ll intuitively know how far you need to go with your help and what you need to do to strengthen your own boundaries.

If someone asks you to pray for them, then you have a responsibility to use your gifts. But, rather than using your body or emotional center (third chakra) to feel and sense, use your sixth chakra, which is also called the third eye, to see or know where you need to direct energy. It’s when we try to operate out of our own emotions and our own physical strength that we are going to be drained. But when we operate from divine power, the place of the sacred heart, it’s not us doing the work; we’re simply being a conduit. We are able to be the light, and by being the light, we’re being God. And we don’t have to worry about backlash or be concerned about what other people think.

So if you are worried about what you have been taught regarding your intuitive gifts or concerned about what other people are saying, remember where the laws of God are written. The laws that the psalmist David was talking about are not written on tablets of stone or in a book, nor are they found in religion. They are written in your heart. If something doesn’t feel right, and you have conflict about it, always go with the truth your heart reveals to you.

Is the Energy of Others Draining You?

Empaths are reporting that they can sense a deep emotional connection to other people. Sometimes it’s very draining and they are not sure how to deal with it.

Empaths are energy sensitive beings; that is part of who we are and we’re always going to be that way. However, there is a way you can filter the energy and calm it down and have your own personal peace so you are able to radiate peace from within. In chapter 9 of Whose Stuff Is This?, I give a list of things that people can do to help ground and center the energy they are dealing with and I give some visualization techniques that can be used to work with energy. People have reported that these exercises are really helping them. That’s because they raise the vibration not only of your body but also your auric field and your soul’s vibration. So the detrimental things around you tend to bounce off.
If you are familiar with the Bible you may recall the scripture about putting up a shield of faith to quench the fiery darts of the evil one. We’re not calling anyone evil but we do have an electromagnetic field around us that can be strengthened with some spiritual purification practices such as deep breathing, prayers or meditation, affirmations, or grounding and centering exercises. So when that detrimental energy comes to us it hits that field like a bubble, which is flexible and is not going to pop like a soap bubble. It’s more like amniotic fluid surrounding a baby; it cushions and protects the beautiful life within. It’s the same way with us; when our aura (field) is strengthened, we are not as impacted by the environment outside of our bubble. 

Many times empaths allow their auras to be thin and they pick up a lot of stuff. They tend to mesh their our field with other people’s fields, especially on a crowded subway, on a bus, or in a shopping mall where there is a cacophony of energy running wild. These are the places where empaths are the most uncomfortable. When there is a large crowd of people or there is a large crowd of people in a situation where there is a lot of grief or mourning going on, we tend to pick that up quite easily.

Some of those exercises in my book will definitely help strengthen the aura. There are some practices on whosestuffisthis.com that will help people to be able to put up better boundaries. I’m not going to say protective barriers because we’re not walling off anybody and there’s really nothing to be protected from; it is a good practice to maintain your own energy field and body so you can continue to do the work that you’ve been called to do. 

When I pick up something that I know is not mine, I realize now that I’ve gotten it for the purpose of transmuting that energy. One way to do that is to call on the ascended master Saint Germaine and the violent flame of transmutation. I imagine that any detrimental energy within me is being drawn outward and into a ball of light. It’s coming out of my field and out of my body into a ball of light. Then I toss the ball into the air and allow Saint Germaine to zap it with the violet flame and transmute it into love, joy, peace, happiness—all the positive things that we want more of on the planet. You’re using a higher frequency by calling on an ascended master. You are not keeping it in your body or in your field where it could to do more damage. 

On whosestuffisthis.com there are resources, articles, visualizations, books, and other things that can help empaths start understanding how to use energy.

What Does It Mean to Be an Empath?

When we talk about empathy we’re saying that people have the ability to feel on behalf of another person. “I feel sorry for you.” or “I’m so sorry to hear that.”

When a highly sensitive person (empath) receives bad news they may take empathy to a whole new degree. They really do feel for you. In fact, they may feel the same emotional impact that you feel when you have a loss. They take it on as if it was their own grief. Or they may feel it in their body; if they are around someone who is sick, they may try to absorb that energy of sickness to transmute it.

Now the way empaths get into some trouble is by not being aware that they are an empath. They may not know what is happening to them; they just think they are very emotional or overly sensitive; they may get sick a lot. They don’t really understand that there is a spiritual reason and that they have been gifted with an ability that some people don’t have in order to help this earth become a better place. 

Empaths many times take the suffering of others into their body to transmute it rather than working with higher energies that are available to help transmute detrimental energy. Anyone can work with ascending masters, angels, or archangels. We have a host of heavenly helpers in the spirit world who can assist us. These high-frequency beings need an anchor here on the earth and that’s where empaths and spiritually sensitive people come into play. We have signed up on a soul level before incarnating to be able to work with these divine helpers, but many times we get here in human form, and forgot why we are here. We get busy in mundane affairs of life and don’t spend time staying connected with our Source of strength; therefore, empaths suffer a lot.

The reason I wrote my book, Whose Stuff Is This? ~ Finding Freedom from the Detrimental Thoughts and Feelings of Those around You, is to help people find the freedom that comes from understanding the gift of empathy and knowing how to use it without paying a personal price. I published that book last year, 2011. Here we are a year later and I’m writing another book. It’s going to be like a sequel to the first book because now that we are in 2012, we are fully in what’s called the ascension or an awakening to oneness. It’s a shift into purer consciousness or purer thought and it’s affecting everything and everyone on the planet.

Empaths seem to feel the impact more keenly than others. They have more symptoms of the shift as we’re moving toward our authentic selves and things that no longer serve us are going away. My next book, Shifting into Purer Consciousness, will teach the right use of energy and give helpful tips to integrate higher cosmic frequencies that are affecting the earth during this 2012 (and beyond) shift.
