I am an Empath. I was born an Empath, but no one put a word to it until two years ago. A spiritual advisor told me she believed I was one, and I googled it to see what it meant to be an Empath. Every single word explained me.

Maybe you are an Empath also.
Following are some common characteristics:

EMPATHS are sensitive to the feelings of others. They can actually feel another’s pain,
and heal it in some way. Since empaths pick up on the feelings of others, there is a great understanding and ability to “see” another person.

I can feel if someone has positive or negative energy towards me. I feel the two-faced.
Therefore, I will ignore these types of people, and watch in wonderment how others don’t see their negative energy or ill intentions.

Adults, animals, and children will tune into an Empath’s energy and tend to
gravitate towards them knowing they are safe with this empathetic person.

Empaths are very expressive personalities, as well as, great listeners.

They are often seen counseling and not just professionally.
Empaths will find themselves helping others out while putting their own
needs aside.

Sometimes, an empath will need to withdraw from the outside world
to be alone and to daydream. I do this when I’ve pushed myself too hard
trying to multitask and do too much. Also, I don’t mind being on a stage, but
I am very uncomfortable in a huge crowd.

Empaths are passionate towards nature, beauty, animals and children. Animals and young children are especially attracted and drawn to the Empath’s qualities. There tends to be an immediate connection.

Empaths make great friends or lovers for life, but are literally crushed if the friendship or relationship is abused. As they experience many abuses and heartaches, they will learn to be more selective in friends and lovers.

Empaths may have a large circle of friends. Unfortunately, they generally only have
a few trusted ones. People come and go in and out of their life.

Empaths attract jealousy in others because of their many talents, loving nature and natural ability to get along with and network with so many people. The jealousy will
hurt an Empath as they really cannot comprehend this behavior, or lack of compassionate understanding.

Empaths often promote the talents of others before their own. Empaths
are usually facially expressive as well expressive with their emotions and feelings.

Talking openly and honestly on all topics is characteristic of an Empath. This characteristic of mine is obvious from my blogs.

Because Empaths are frequently the recipient of listening to others problems they often retreat into the quiet of their minds eye. Oftentimes, the need to block out others is
great so that the energy balance is restored. This is why “alone time” is important for
“recharging our batteries.”

Empaths tend to be peacemakers, are non aggressive and non violent.
There is an acute sensitivity to violence of any kind on television, films,
and especially in “real life” situations. Any infliction of pain or violence to others, especially animals and children will cause the Empath to feel physically ill and retreat. Oftentimes the
memories of those images will replay in their mind again and again.

I cannot sleep if I see violence or abuse of any kind on television or in a movie before I go to bed. It may cause nightmares, or it just may replay over and over in my mind preventing restful sleep.

Therefore, I tend to watch romantic comedies or nonsense television just for fun.

I was amazed to discover that I was a true empath. Maybe you just discovered that you are as well.

This is the ability I use most when I read cards or any of the other divination arts.
I use feeling and emotion instead of the logical and rational.

Blame it on my Cancer Rising and Grand Water Trine, or so an astrologist told me years ago.

Simply stated you “zip up”. Start at the pubic bone, 2 to 3 inches out from the body, and direct the hand upward to the lips, as if you are zipping up a zipper. Do this 3 times in a row and after the last stroke ending at the lips, twist the wrist as if you are locking a lock and this will result in an imaginary, but very realistic seal or block that will repel any energy that could result in a manifestation of physical pain.
It works, it really does! Try it!
