Being an empath can be extremely difficult. If you find yourself avoiding large groups & crowds, moving away from people because you can sense their issues, heartbreak, illness, etc…more than likely you are an empath. I am going to tell you that the secret to being empathic is not running away from the needy, but running towards them.

You have a gift. It is up to you to learn how to shield yourself so you do not get drained or make yourself ill by helping people in need. It is about setting up your own boundries until you are ready to embrace the “Universe.” You do not come out of the womb walking, talking and eating without help. You are taught these skills.

Many times more of your gifts will present themselves. You may be clairvoyant, clairaudient or clairsentient. Being intuitive can lead to so much joy in your life. It is who you are. It is one of your senses that has not been utilized to its full potential. The time is now. Use your gift. Expand your horizons and celebrate who you are.

So to all the empaths out there – quit making excuses about how sensitive you are, because you are a walking, talking gift to everyone on this planet and by hiding away you are doing yourself and those in need a disservice.
