Today we are discussing being an “empath,” which is someone extremely affected by the energies and emotions of others. Often an empath will become distracted and overwhelmed by what others are going through, but it doesn’t have to be a negative thing. Children who are empaths will often retreat and hibernate.

How do you know if you are an empath? Some traits include: recognizing honesty in others, seeing behind the scenes, hating violence and cruelty, a love of nature/animals, looking out for the underdog, and sometimes feeling overwhelmed in public places. If you are an empath, own it and relish it; don’t view it as a curse but a special gift. Some tools you can use are calling on the bright light of the Archangel Michael and the violet flame of St. Germaine to help you. I’m sending you courage and confidence on your journey as an empath. Use the gift wisely.
