So you are an empath, now what?
I discovered my empathic traits several years ago. It all came to a head when two very important people in my world sucked me dry and I was wallowing in the black hearted ways. Instead of nourishing their own souls they covet parts of others, this included parts of mine. Of course now I know I allowed that. This all happened before I knew about empaths.
I went into emotional chaos and fell into a deep dark abyss. My daughters and sisters were very concerned and afraid for me. Some suggested I do traditional therapy and counseling, maybe meds would help they felt. Instead I ran. I had to get out of that deep seated vortex of muck, mendacity, the mean spirited ones. Remove myself from that energy tornado and figure things out.
Going into self appointed exile for 9 months. I sold everything and ran to the hills. I lived very minimally in the mountain forest near creeks and streams, had a campfire, an old van to sleep in, cast iron skillet and one spatula. For months I stayed there and talked to the trees, the soil and laid in the moss. What I discovered I was also absorbing the energies of the forests. All that beautiful simplistic purity filled me with blissful tears. I could feel the vibrations rise through my feet and heart. When I danced barefoot around my campfire, alone, I never felt alone.
I then had to return back to the world, to face those I allowed to mistreat me. It was a difficult road, it took discipline and many many wails and sobs as each layer was uncovered. The inner work is a vital part of exposing the gift within. Through the help of the spiritual advisors that taught me my vulnerabilities were my strengths, it all started to make sense. The Shamanka’s led me through journeys, teaching me how to walk through the dark with eyes wide open. Discovering where I left fragments of my soul, retrieve them and meld them back together. That was huge for I could feel the completeness as I returned them home. I could feel my very foundation strengthen.
Through practice and discipline I have developed my own tools to walk in the Light as an empath. I have my own abbreviated method to ground, connect and project goodness with simply using my breath. I call it my Wise Woman Energies. I share this because I do not want you to give up. Keep on doing the work. We all have this spark and the more you uncover that spark the more fulfilling your life will become.
