An empath is someone who may feel another person’s aches and pains. An empath may also feel the emotions of others, which may range from anger, happiness, depressive, and manic behavior, etc.

Every living thing emits a three to four foot energy field called an aura. The aura will contain feelings, emotions, thoughts, and even past events of one’s life. As one aura interacts with another’s aura, each person in this interaction may experience feelings or events of the other’s person information field, often confusing those thoughts of others with their own. Each person, alive, has had this experience this to some degree, even those who deny it.

Empaths also can feel the energy that comes off a home or business. It is a form of intuition or psychic ability that sneaks up on you when you are not expecting it. Thoughts, called channeling, sometimes will pour into the crown charka of an empath from unknown origins such as ascended masters, God, angels, past relatives. Some thoughts will make sense and some will make limited sense. It will be your job to figure out what it means to you and why it is occurring at that moment in time.

An empath may even channel lower beings- if they are not in alignment with their higher spirit. When the lower beings channel in, it is time to get the physical and mental state up to par by resting, exercising and eating correctly to align with the higher self. Do no energy work for others while fatigued, ill, or stressed. It exhausts you further. Let someone else work with you while you relax and rebuild. There are so many people out there, who are reading this right now, who are empaths and not aware they are. They assume all their troubles are their own.

Answer the following questions to evaluate how sensitive you may be the energy around you.

• Do you have panic attacks or high anxiety when in crowds?
• Do you panic in confined places?
• Do you prefer quiet places and one on one connections vs. large loud parties?

• Do you feel anxious, uneasy, or nervous, like an animal does, just before earthquakes, tornados, or weather changes occur? 
• Does the New Moon affect your emotions more than the Full Moon does? The emotions are sharper and more internal around the New Moon than on the Full Moon. The Full Moon allows us to express easier externally. 
• Can you read the body language and/or the minds of those next to you and/or even at a distance?
• You have a hard time watching abuse or killing on the news, movies, or in real life?
• Do you often get random thoughts, worries, or feelings about family and friends, which turn out to be true?
• Do hospitals or doctors office make you nervous or ill?
• Do you actually take on others symptoms of illness or pain—such as fever, blood pressure, headache, body aches etc?
• Do you know things that you have no idea where the information has come from?
• Do you overindulge in alcohol, drugs, shopping, food, smoking, etc to dull or escape from your thoughts and/or emotions?
• Do the emotions of others affect your state of mind? Does it make you anxious, upset, mad, sad, happy, etc.?  Do you find your emotions unexpectedly shift throughout the day from happiness to sadness or from joy to dread?  Or randomly other emotions?
• Do you connect easily to others?
• Do you speak freely about your life experiences to help others understand theirs?  Or do family, friends, and/or complete stranger easily confide in you?

If you answered yes to over half of these questions, you are undoubtedly an empath and need to learn how to break contact with others and your environment when necessary.  For more information on empaths and psychic connections to the cosmos
