So You Think You're An Empath?
Do you know how strong your sensitivities are?
Limited opportunity to schedule an Empath Discovery Call!
(noun): A person characterised by their innate ability to intuitively sense and understand the emotions, feelings, and energy of others and their environment.
4 Signs you're likely an Empath
You have high sensitivity, not only to emotions or how others feel, some are sensitive to sights, sounds, smells and textures.
You also tend to be unselfish, often taking great strides to make sure others are happy, usually as you're tuned in to what others need.
You tend to trust your instinct and go with your gut when it comes to making decisions. This is also helpful when it comes to trusting people — you tend to pick up on subtle cues that help determine if someone is being untruthful.
You’re able to understand someone else’s feelings — and people tend to tell you their problems. Driven by your desire to help in whatever way to alleviate another person’s pain.
According to an article by the Cleveland Clinic:
... while being an empath isn’t considered a medical condition or disorder, there’s some science behind it.
“While we can’t say for sure if empaths truly exist, research shows that we do have what scientists call ’mirror neurons,’ which allows us to mirror others’ emotions, and we believe those who are empaths have more mirror neurons,” explains Dr. Childs.
Cleveland Clinic is a non-profit academic medical center, providing clinical and hospital care and a leader in research, education and health information.
Empaths have a unique gift for tuning into others, including people, environments, and animals.
They deeply sense emotions, sometimes to an overwhelming degree.
This can lead to absorbing vibrational energy, which can be draining and even painful.
Many empaths find themselves introverted, often without realising it's a way to avoid energy extremes.
Sadly, some unaware of their gifts end up feeling lonely to escape the overwhelming experiences they face.
The brain’s 'Mirror Neuron System' – a specialised group of cells are responsible for compassion - it's thought to be hyper developed - we call it empathy.
Many folks are surprised to learn that most humans are born with empathic skills, though they may not realise it.
Unlike more recognised abilities like creative expression or problem solving, empathy is often seen as a hidden talent. Plus if you haven't been raised in an environment that values and nurtures it, you probably don't think of your ability to 'feel others' as a 'gift.'
Whether you've considered it a blessing or a curse, empathy is innate, but its development varies widely.
I believe empathy exists to foster connections between humans and the world around us, yet as we grow older, many of us unlearn how to tap into it. Despite this, we utilise similar principles in science and medicine daily!
Empaths possess a heightened ability to sense energy waves beyond electronic devices, a skill increasingly vital in today's world.
Now more than ever, the empathic capacity is crucial in raising the collective vibration of our planet and species.
It's essential that we support those who may not yet have mastered their innate strengths without exploiting their gifts. And while being an empath may seem like an uncommon or mystical concept, it's becoming more recognised, thanks to scientists like Dr. Bruce Lipton shedding light on how humans utilise energy to enrich their lives.
Lastly, not everyone with empathic abilities is obligated to use them for the greater good. Whether you're an employee, parent, or member of society, you can harness your talents for personal benefit. So why not explore your empathic tendencies and shed light on some of your unique experiences?
Why not find out what level you are to bring light to some of your unknown weird experiences.

Generally we have deeper connections with people from all walks of life (not just our immediate loved ones).
However living with the gift of heightened sensitivity also comes with its challenges such as becoming easily overwhelmed, over-stimulated, exhausted or absorbing the stress and negativity of others.
LEARNING SELF PROTECTION IS THE BEST WAY OF REDUCING THESE SIDE EFFECTS.
