Do you consider yourself a highly sensitive, intuitive person? Have you ever wondered if you could be an Empath? Well, let’s find out!
First, what is an empath? An empath is someone who can literally FEEL someone else’s emotions as if they are their own. They are highly intuitive and connected to the Universe. Empath’s can do amazing, purposeful things for this world when they learn how to control and tap into their empath abilities!
Ready to find out if you are an Empath? Let’s dive in!
ONE: You are able to FEEL another person’s feelings. It’s NOT seeing someone cry and knowing they are sad, that is pretty much a given. As an empath, I have felt immense paid and sadness when someone else is sad. It often leads to people feeling very comfortable telling you things or opening up to you, because your reactions to their feelings are so GENUINE.
TWO: You have a high intuition! You can sort of listen to your inner guide for answers. IF you are new to being an empath & haven’t tapped into this intuition yet, you may not know it is there. However, you can learn to listen and let it guide you to a beautiful life! When I was living in Georgia, I had an intuitive feeling to turn up the radio while EVERYONE else in the car was talking and not paying attention. What was on the radio? A lottery contest for $70,000 and a FREE luxury apartment (furnished from West Elm). I was currently broke and living in a trailer. I listened to my intuition, I entered and I won. It changed my life. Years later, my intuition told me to move to OHIO out of all places. Not Los Angeles (my dream place) or New York (another bucket list place I had)… OHIO. Guess who I met three months in? My amazing husband who I now live in Los Angeles, CA with.
THREE: You can feel the intentions of a person or place. Empaths are described as lie detectors and can tell if someone is being fake and genuine! I always have a gut feeling if someone around me is a good person or not and so far, it has not lead me astray!
FOUR: Crowds or large groups of people can be so draining or overwhelming. The ability to feel other’s emotions can be so powerful if understood and if you can control it, but until then: lots of people’s energies at once can leave you feeling drained. Concerts, theme parks and even movie theaters that usually leave people feeling energetic may leave you needing to take a nap.
FIVE: You need time to reset and recharge. You may love recharging in nature or by yourself. This is what prompted me to learn I was an empath. Years ago, I was invited with a big brand to Miami. We went to lavish parties at the Versace mansion and met so many celebrities. It was so amazing and a great opportunity. The night I got home, I laid down in bed and started sobbing. My husband was so confused, saying he thought I really enjoyed the trip. The crazy thing, I loved the trip! I just needed to ‘release’ all of the emotions I had taken in from other people.
So, what do you think? Could you be an empath? Of course there are more traits, but this is a great start! I will be making more posts and videos soon to help you learn to control this and use it to your advantage! Being an Empath is BEAUTIFUL, not something to be ashamed of!
