Empath - Hannah White
Chapter 1: What is an Empath?
An empath is a person with an open spirit; they unconsciously sense things in the unseen and the seen realm to the point where it can become a burden. They pick up on the energy that is surrounding them and have a natural ability to tune in to the feelings of others. They are influenced by other people’s moods, thoughts, desires and wishes. Being an empath is not limited to high sensitivity and emotions; they intuitively know the intentions and motivations of others. An empath is not something that is learned; you are either born this way or you’re not. As an empath, you are constantly in touch with the feelings and energy of others, which means that you are continuously bearing the weight of the emotions of those around you.
Empaths are extremely humble; they shy away from compliments and would rather praise someone else than receive it. They express themselves with great passion and talk very candidly, which can sometimes cause offense. They are not the type of people who hide their feelings; they will open up to anyone who cares to listen.
Although empaths are sensitive to the emotions of others, they don’t spend much time listening to their own hearts. This can lead them to care for the needs of others before their own. An empath is typically non-aggressive, non-violent and is quick to become the peacemaker between people. An empath feels extremely uncomfortable when they are in an environment of disharmony; they avoid confrontation or quickly make amends if a situation gets out of hand. If they lose control and say something that would cause offense, they resent themselves for it and will make a swift apology.
Empaths have a tendency to pick up the feelings of others and then project them back to the person without realizing what they are doing. When an empath is in the beginning stages of understanding their gift, it is advised that they talk things out in order to release the buildup of emotions. If not, they have a tendency to bottle things up and build skyscraper walls around themselves and refuse to let anyone in. The inability to express their feelings is often the result of a traumatic event, a childhood where emotions were not expressed in the home or having parents who told them that children are to be seen and not heard.
Empaths have sensitivity towards movies, TV, videos, and news broadcasts that depict scenes of violence or physical or emotional pain and trauma, whether it is an adult, child or animal. This can reduce them to tears and cause them to become physically ill. They are unable to justify the suffering that they feel and see and have no tolerance for others who don’t share the same level of compassion as they do.
Empaths work in careers that enable them to help others, whether it’s with animals, nature or people. They are passionate about their work and their dedication to others. You will often find empaths in volunteer positions dedicating their time to help others without pay or recognition.
Due to their ceaseless imagination, empaths are great storytellers; they are constantly learning and asking questions. They are also very gentle and romantic; they have a passion for family history and will keep old photos, jewelry or other items of value that have been passed down from generations. They are often the ones who sit and listen to stories told by grandparents and great grandparents and hold a wealth of knowledge about the history of their family.
To suit the variety of moods that they experience, they listen to a range of music genres. People are often curious about their taste in music, especially the extent of the diversity. One minute they are listening to classical music and the next hardcore rap! The lyrics to a song can have a powerful effect on an empath, especially if it relates to something they have recently experienced. It is advised that empaths listen to music without lyrics to avoid sending their emotions into a spin.
Empaths use their body language as a form of expression; they can articulate themselves just as easily through dance, body movements and acting as they can through words. Empaths are capable of exhibiting high amounts of energy when they dance; they get lost in the music and enter into a trance-like state as their spirits sync with the beat and the lyrics. They describe this feeling as becoming completely lost in the moment; they are no longer aware of the presence of others.
Empaths have very attractive spirits, and so people are naturally drawn to them without understanding why. They will find that complete strangers feel comfortable talking to them about the most intimate subjects and experiences. Another reason why empaths are so magnetic is that they are very good listeners; they are bubbly, outgoing, enthusiastic and people love to be in their presence. They are the life and soul of any party, and people like to have them around because they feed off their energy. Due to the extreme nature of their personality, the opposite is also true; their moods can switch in an instant and people will scatter like cockroaches to get away from them. If an empath doesn’t understand their gift, the burden of carrying so many emotions can be overwhelming. They don’t understand that they are feeling someone else’s emotions; it is confusing to them. One moment they are fine and the next they are feeling a tsunami of depression, which causes them to act out.
It is not a good idea to abandon an empath in the heights of one of their mood swings. Whoever is around at this time should lend them a shoulder to cry on, become compassionate, and be a listening ear. This return of emphatic emotional care will often lead to an instant recovery. Empaths are often misunderstood, and it is a crucial part of their journey that not only do they understand themselves but others around them do too.
Empaths are often thinkers and problem solvers; they love to study a variety of different material. They believe that problems and solutions exist together and that there is always a solution at hand. They will often search until they find the answer to a problem, which can be a great benefit to others around them, whether at work or at home. The empath is often capable of tapping into the knowledge of the universe and receiving the guidance they need to solve the problem they have put their minds to.
Empaths are dreamers; they have vivid and detailed dreams. They believe that their dreams are linked to their physical reality and that they are being warned about something that is happening in their life or the life of someone they know. From a young age, they invest their time and effort into unlocking the mysteries of their dreams.
Empaths thrive off mental engagement; they have no desire for the mundane and find it difficult to hold their focus on things that don’t stimulate them. When they find themselves getting bored, they will often resort to daydreaming and settle into a detached state of mind. Although their physical body is in the same location, their mind is in another dimension.
A teacher will only hold the attention of an empath student if they are as expressive and emotional as they are; if not they
