Learn About Being An Empath

Empathy

Empathy is the ability to "read�?and understand people and be in-tune with or resonate with others, voluntarily or involuntarily of one's empath capacity.  Empathy often works alongside with telepathy, and this mutually enhances the strength of these abilities. 

Empaths have the ability to scan another's psyche for thoughts and feelings or for past, present, and future life occurrences.  Many empaths are unaware of how this actually works, and have long accepted that they were “sensitive�?to others.

Empathy is a “feeling�?of another’s true emotions to a point where an empath can relate to that person by sensing true feelings that run deeper than those portrayed on the surface.  People commonly put on a “show�?of expression.   This is a learned trait of hiding authentic expression in an increasingly demanding society.

An empath can sense the truth behind the “cover�?and will act compassionately to help that person express him/herself, thus making them feel at ease and not so desperately alone.  It’s as though the empath truly understands, and, in many cases, they do through personal “firsthand�?experience. 

Empaths experience empathy towards family, children, friends, close associates, complete strangers, pets, plants and inanimate objects.  Empathy is not held by time or space.  Thus, an empath can feel the emotions of people and things at a distance.  Some are empathic towards animals (the “Horse Whisperer�?, to nature, to the planetary system, to mechanical devices or to buildings.  Others will have a combination of the above.

Empaths are highly “sensitive�?  This is the term commonly used in describing one's abilities (sensitivity) to another’s emotions and feelings.  Empaths have a deep sense of “knowing�?that accompanies empathy and are often compassionate, considerate, and understanding of others.  Everyone has this natural ability; however, many never choose to utilize their ability and/or are completely unaware of their empathic ability.

There are also varying levels of strength in empaths which may be related to the individual’s awareness of self, understanding of the powers of empathy, and/or the acceptance or non-acceptance of empathy by those associated with them, including family and peers. Generally, those who are empathic grow up with these tendencies and do not learn about them until later in life.

Empathy is genetic, inherent in our DNA, and passed from generation to generation.  It is studied both by traditional science and alternative healing practitioners.  When we combine and comprehend the two, we will be witness to incredible feats for human-kindness.  Slowly but surely, this is occurring.

Empathy has both biological/genetic and spiritual aspects.  Many will claim that empathy and telepathy are strictly of a “spiritual nature�?  This is an injustice; just as it is an injustice to focus only on the physical nature of empathy.  For indeed, empathy has very physical, mental and spiritual implications and attributes.

It is not unusual for empaths to have experienced many things in their lives.  Often many of their life experiences could be considered rather extreme, adventurous, or daring, allowing empaths to be open and receptive to much more.  Whereas some people’s lives may be considered rather “soft or easy�?and even enviable, that of an empath is often more than just challenging, with many a major roller coaster ride thrown in here and there! 

Empaths often possess the ability to sense others on many different levels.   From their position in observing what another is saying, feeling and thinking, they come to understand another.  They can become very proficient at reading another person’s body language and/or study intently the eye movements.   While this in itself is not empathy, it is a side-shoot that comes from being observant of others.  In a sense, empaths have a complete communication package.

While there is much we don’t yet understand about how empathy works, we do have some information.  Everything has an energetic vibration or frequency and an empath is able to sense these vibrations and recognize even the subtlest changes undetectable to the naked eye or the five senses.

Words of expression hold an energetic pattern that originates from the speaker.  They have a specific meaning particular to the speaker.  Behind that expression is a power or “force-field�? better known as “energy�?  For example, hate often brings about an intense feeling that immediately accompanies the word.  The word “hate�?becomes strengthened with the speaker’s feeling.  It is that person’s feelings (energy) that are picked up by empaths, whether the words are spoken, thought or just felt without verbal or bodily expression.
