Who Is An Empath

Empaths are often poets in motion. They are the born writers, singers, and artists with a high degree of creativity and imagination. They are known for many talents as their interests are varied, broad and continual, loving, loyal and humorous.

They often have interests in many cultures and view them with a broad-minded perspective. They are mother, father, child, friend, nurse, caregiver, teacher, doctor, sales people... to psychic, clairvoyant, healer, etc. (That is not to say that any of these categories are all empaths.)

The list is extensive and really unimportant. It is more important to notice that empaths are everywhere--in every culture and throughout the world. One of the most obvious places for empathic connection is within the parent/child/family bonds.

Mothers show recognizable signs of empathy in the early days of conception and this rapidly increases after birth. Children are often mirroring the feelings and thoughts of their parents and siblings because they are empathically “in tune�?with them and exposed to them on a daily basis.

It is wonderful for children to grow up with “aware�?parents for the children are less likely to suppress their abilities and accept their natural talents. Empaths are often very affectionate in personality and expression, great listeners and counselors (and not just in the professional area).

They will find themselves helping others and often putting their own needs aside to do so.  In the same breath, they can be much the opposite.

They may be quiet, withdrawn from the outside world, loners, depressed, neurotic, life’s daydreamers, or even narcissistic.

They are most often passionate towards nature and respect its bountiful beauty. One will often find empaths enjoying the outdoors, beaches, walking, etc.
Empaths may find themselves continually drawn to nature as a form of release.

It is the opportune place to recapture their senses and gain a sense of peace in the hectic lives they may live. The time to get away from it all and unwind with nature becomes essential to the empath. Animals are often dear to the heart of empaths, not as a power object, but as a natural love.

It is not uncommon for empaths to have more than one pet in their homes. They are born veterinarians and animal caretakers. Empaths make great friends for life, but are crushed if the friendship is abused.

Over time, they will become far more selective. Though they may have a large circle of friends, they generally only have a few “close�?/EM> ones.

Others unfortunately become jealous because of the many talents, loving nature and natural ability of empaths to get on with many people. The jealousy will hurt an empath, as they really cannot comprehend this behavior or lack of compassionate understanding.

When this occurs in an empath's life, it is a sign that more self-awareness is being called for, so that the empath themselves can overcome being hurt by the negative aspects of others.
