Sharing some of the wisdom I have gained from others and through my own experience of being an empath. For being in a room of people can be overwhelming and taking on other people emotions is confusing as well as tiring.
When you come to innerstand that for most of your life you have most probably been taking on what other people feel, it is a tricky thing to then bring it into balance.
How can you do this?
As empaths we not only feel for ourselves, but we also feel what others are experiencing. So quite often we don’t realise it is someone else’s emotions. This is the first of the skills to master. Asking your mind, is it yours? or someone else’s?
Secondly, you then need to have a way to clear what isn’t yours. For many using water is a great way. You can come in from your day and have a hot shower or simply visit a bathroom to run water over your hands. As you do, setting the intention that you wish to wash off what isn’t yours. Other things to use can be a clearing fork, bell, feather or rod of selenite. Using them to clear each part of your body. Here is an example on YouTube of a using a tuning fork on yourself.
Thirdly there is a way to not ask for other people’s emotions to be absorbed by you. This is something best done prior to either leaving the house or going into e.g. your meeting. The process involves firstly centring yourself as you bring your awareness only on you. Ground down into the earth as a way to assist. You may like to imagine roots growing out of your feet and going deep into mother earth. As you feel centred you will then ask your higher-self or team in spirit to assist you during your day to remain within your own field of energy. Ask that other people’s emotions don’t enter your field. If you do start to feel someone’s emotions, say in your mind – you can return to the sender. This all takes routine and practice.
For empaths who are also doing a lot of their inner work, or are doing sessions with Mel, I’d strongly recommend using salt baths. Or going for swims in the ocean if you have access. The salt has a neutral frequency of emotion, helping to clear off what is not serving. We now have salt bath packs available. If you don’t have a bath, use a pot or bucket as a foot bath.
Mastering your empathic ability is a choice. It will take time and you won’t always remember. The more awareness you bring to it, the easier it will be. Doing your own inner work will also help to clear out lots of your own emotional hurts. As this happens, you are triggered less. For when we are triggered we quickly become out of balance and ungrounded and that it often when we start to take on other people’s emotions as well.
Your empath ability is also an asset which will be written about in a future post.
