Many people find being an HSP/Empath difficult, even a curse. I know in my own life and I’ll quote my 1st husband: “You are too innocent, too kind, too forgiving, too childlike, too compassionate, do you have a pink aura, why are people drawn to you? in a way he was right. I went on to give until I bled, I’m sure most of you can relate to this. I have been abandoned, rejected and betrayed by the p
eople closest to me, people I loved and trusted. Can you relate to any of that? There are so many ways to deal with the confusion and feelings of being overwhelmed, let’s journey together to figure it out. We can live empowered, healthy lives. I find my strength in our Creator. It can get quite overwhelming when you are so highly sensitive to all of your surroundings. However, in spite of this I have come to know that being an empath is a gift. I believe learning more about it will help us to be empowered to know our own uniqueness and beauty. As empaths we tend to be natural healers; those around us including strangers often feel better when they are near us. Most Empaths are not afraid to be alone; usually we welcome being alone so we can recharge and relax. Empaths are often extremely creative. We can be creative in many different ways such as painting, music, writing, etc. As an empath you may have the ability to deal with difficult people in ways that others don’t see. We are often able to sense whether someone is sad or happy in spite of what their face shows or what they say. I know in my own life that I am often led in such a way to bring a sense of peace to others. We can often sense ‘all’ of the energy around us. We often feel it from animate and inanimate things and feel better when we are surrounded by nature. I know I feel like I can finally ‘breath’. Also, we often have heightened senses. An example would be that we can smell or hear things that others don’t. It seems to me, including myself that although we have such beautiful gifts; However, we also have limiting beliefs about them. I would like to see us take ownership of our gifts, develop them and use them for ourselves and others in such a way that we add more light and healing to the world around us. Let’s take that empowering journey together.
