Do you ever feel like other peoples emotions cut into your sole more than what you’d expect?
Do you ever feel like something is wrong and you just can’t quite put your finger on it?
Do you ever feel emotionally overwhelmed when you are in crowded places?
You might be an Empath!
What is an Empath? Funny you should ask… For me, it is my greatest gift and my greatest weakness crammed into Pandora’s box.
Everyone experiences emotions differently. There are many people who have similar emotional/spiritual experiences that they refer to as Empathic. I consider myself an Empath. This is my description of my abilities:
I feel other peoples emotions as my own. I can easily (with the exception of my clouded judgement when it comes to the people I am romantically involved with) determine a persons emotional state. I feel drained when I socialize with others for a long period of time. I feel that I can effect the mood around me. I can choose to exert happiness, depression, or even lust into the air around me. I can see it impact the people who are physically close to me. When I am driving, I can often times feel the soles of those around me. I can feel when a person has faced a recent loss, is stressed, or is day dreaming. I can some times influence their emotions by sending them calming vibes. I can feel my sole connect to other people who may also be Empaths. Most of the time these people do not even know that they have these abilities. I can feel their connection even when I am not physically near them. It is like their sole makes a mark on mine. When they emotionally peak and recess I can feel it. It impacts my own mood.
I do not claim to be psychic. I do not see other peoples horas. I do not claim to always be right when I have a “feeling” about something or some one.
I am simply saying that there are people out there who feel things a little bit more strongly than the general population.
Some times I think of it as my own personal connection to God. That he has allowed me to feel so deeply for nature, animals, and other people.
Another view point to consider is that in ancient Egyptian drawings there are indicators that our ancestors were able to identify over 200 different senses. Today we only recognize five. Maybe me and the other 1% of the world that are experiencing these things are not simply going crazy. Maybe we are just in tune with a side of ourselves that most people are not willing to be open to.
If you think you may be an Empath or know someone who is email me. I would love to hear what others experience!
