The Path of Empaths

This term Empath may be new to those who has yet to discover about their psychic gift. Whichever stage of awareness that you are now at, let's just start from the beginning.

When we break down the word Empath, EM = Emotion = Energy in Motion. It simply means a path of someone who has the ability to feel emotions of others. Why are some people able to feel emotions of others? It is because we are getting more sensitive to energies around us. When we start to feel the morphogenetic fields around us, we can literally feel the emotions of others because there is no more veil or separation. Separation is just an illusion. We are all interconnected.

In the beginning of my own journey, I was not really aware of my sensitivities even though a lot of people told me that I was too "sensitive" (in a negative way). In the shadow frequency of the Empaths and Sensitives, we will appear to be "sensitive in a negative way" in that we seem to be suspicious, overly cautious, insecured and reactive. Or feeling overwhelmed with emotions that we don't seem to be able to control. Or in an argument, we become reactive and amplify the anger through outbursts.

As I become more spiritually aware of what is going on and healing myself through understanding the experiences and lessons, it then became clear what the path of Empaths and Sensitives are and what purpose we serve.

In the gift frequency of Empaths, it is about developing discernment. I relate this with Human Design Gate 13 because it is exactly what the path or archetype of Empathy is. The video below explained Gate 13 really well.

If you are an Empath, you have the gift of discernment. You can tell or smell bullshit right away. You can tell if someone is lying or being honest.

Usually Empaths attract the opposites, the Narcissistic, someone who likes to control, manipulate and victimize themselves or people. I believe there might be some kind of spiritual agreement for Empaths to meet with people with Narcissistic tendencies so that Empaths learn to be more assertive, self-empowered and standing in their own power. For the Narcissistic, it may or may not help them to be more compassionate and understanding depending on how impactful or influential is the relationship dynamics. It does not mean they have to be stuck in that relationship. Once the lesson is learnt, it breaks the cycle or pattern of victimization. There will no longer be a victim in the relationship. The "poor me" Empath will stand up and assert in their position as a sovereign being.

In the Siddhi level of Gate 13, it is about Empathy. The purpose of Empaths is to have Empathy; to bring this Siddhi frequency on Earth to raise the awareness of humanity to have more compassion, love, kindness, understanding and the ability to listen with an open heart. Listening is a skill that we can learn. Many people are not really listening. Most people are just busy talking about themselves, their achievements, their possessions, their drama, their miserable lives and no one is actually listening. This is why many people do not feel they are heard or recognized. They feel misunderstood, left out or even transparent. So the purpose is to rebalance humanity with the frequency of deep listening with the open heart because there is too much pain, suffering and depression in the world. Empaths and Sensitives serve as healers. They can work as counsellors, coaches, therapists, confidante etc.

A lot of people do not understand how coaches or counsellors work at healing in sessions. It may seem that they are just listening to the problems or issues of the "patients" or clients. But energetically, they are holding space for the "patients" or clients to pour out their grievances and issues. It is a form of release of pent-up energies that had been stored in the energetic fields and in the body. It is a space to let go of negative emotions. As therapists, coaches and counsellors, it is important to protect their own boundaries or energetic fields, to cleanse the space after the session and healing themselves. It is also important to recognize that whatever emotions that arise during the session is not their own energies but from the "patients" or clients. So it is important not to own those energies but to purify those energies with love and return them to the owner.

So as Empaths, our role or mission is to understand how others feel. Without understanding others, it is easy to judge and label others. It is a pathway of practising non-judgment and yet to have discernment. In order to do this work more efficiently without being caught in the drama of others, we have to shield ourselves with the light and be more aware of the energies that we feel internally and externally. Sometimes we may need to distance ourselves to recharge and detox and that is perfectly fine! Do not allow anyone's judgement to let you feel there is something wrong with you. There is nothing wrong with you. You are just wired with a beautiful gift. Embrace it! People are going to come to you, talk to you with their secrets and confine in you because they can trust you in listening without judgement. And we all need that. To listen without judgement.

As you learn to listen to other peoples' stories, you will start to relate their stories with your own and then realize that everyone has gone through similar lessons and pain. You will realize that we are really One. The people that you attract are people who hold the same energies as you deny or suppress within yourself. The energies that people project is a reflection of your own energies. This realization will come to you when you contemplate on your situation and doing deep shadow work. So being triggered is a good way to know what are the energies that you are suppressing or still unhealed.
