Are You an Empath?

In my work as a Spiritual Coach I am always talking about what it is to be an Empath. In fact almost every single one of my clients is an Empath, even those who don’t recognise it yet, because that is who I was put here to help. The empaths, the aware, the awakened, those going through awakening.

So what is an Empath?

My interpretation, and I do speak as one, it is someone who is open. Open to the energies of the the world around us. Our connection is open and therefore we can be receptive to the moods, the emotions, the highs, the lows of those around us.

We are also open to the energies of the collective as a whole. I remember the day Michael Jackson died. Now whether you love him or not, whether you are into his music or not, there was an energy cast across the planet for 48 hours. The world felt like it had paused. The world was in the energy of mourning. Of grief. Those who are empathic felt that. Even if in the moment they did not know what it was.

We spent time in reflection. Deep in thought, not thinking about anything in particular, simply sat in this energetic pause. Feeling the emotion of the collective. Feeling that loss.

We are also open to the planetary influences, the astrological influences that can impact us to varying degrees throughout the year. I believe everyone is susceptible to this but as we raise our level of awareness, our connection to our soul, this sensitivity increases.
