Empaths are people that are very sensitive and when they are living in a time like this, it can cause them to feel intense.
When the Coronavirus came and then Black Lives Matter, it left people feeling pained with sickness, injustice, and racism.
These few months have been hard, and they have been most hard for people that are black or brown and if you find that you are sad or angry, you aren’t alone.
Many people, especially empaths understand that you are going through things and about putting up barriers around your life. This can be a time where you are in pain and you are worried, and you need to have others that love you and show you care.
Empath
An empath is someone that feels things through other people. Whatever someone around them is feeling, they feel the same thing because of the energies.
If you are around someone that is in pain and is feeling the pains of injustice and you are an empath, you will feel it too.
Staying Balanced
Being a medium means that you get messages from the spirit world and you can use your abilities to help you do a reading and to share love.
Psychics are able to use their gifts to help others and this can be hard to do because of the strong feelings inside of you. An empath has strong energies and emotions and they feel things at a different level.
Even if you do not know you are an empath, but you are strongly emotional, chances are that you will not realize that you are going through things emotionally because of what is going on around you.
When you find your deep emotions, you can understand why your life is full of stress and anxiety.
Being an empath is a gift and it allows you to help others, but you have to realize that you have a task of taking care of others. If this sounds like you, you need to be balanced and understand that times are troubled, but you are doing the best things for you and others.
Putting You First
It can be hard for an empath to remember to care about themselves, but this is very important. It is something that is needed to keep their mind, body, and soul strong.
Make sure that you get enough sleep, that you eat healthy and that you exercise. Find things to do that calm you such as reading or doing outside activities.
Learn to play a role that changes from day to day and learn to help others and to take care of yourself so that you can do that. When you are a person that feels things deeply, know that you have to take care of who you are.
Soul to Mind
Instead of asking yourself questions and waiting for the answers, learn to take time to disconnect and rest. If you want to know what is going on inside of you because you feel that it is an obligation, remember that you need to rest sometimes.
Do not try to be perfect but work to be balanced.
Be Quiet
Most people hate their feelings especially if it is anger or sadness, but you have to learn to embrace these feelings and work through them. Avoiding your feelings will cause you to be sick or to be stressed.
Open your feelings up and allow them to flow through you.
Separate Your Emotions
This is hard but not impossible. You have to learn to feel your emotions and to separate your emotions from the energies and emotions of others around you.
You can do this by learning to understand your emotions. When you feel something and you are alone, it is your emotion but if you feel something in a large crowd, chances are you are tuned into the emotions of others.
You can find these things and learn to understand what is going on such as:
- Figuring out if the emotions are yours or others.
- Letting emotions such as rage or sadness go because they are the feelings of people in a crowded room.
- Knowing that aches and pains can belong to others.
- Having unexpected emotions does not have to do with you but someone else.
- When you feel moody or anxious it can be people around you.
Triggers
There is another thing that happens in empaths and that is triggers. Figure out what your emotions are doing to you so that you can understand your feelings.
Learn to take the physical sensations and to connect with yourself and your surroundings so that you can understand what is going on.
Journaling can help you to know what is going on and help you to connect with yourself more.
Meditation
Learn to mediate so that you can connect with your emotions. Do this a few minutes each day and this can help you to learn to separate your emotions.
Find a place that is quiet and comfortable that you will not be distracted. When you feel strong feelings, learn to take quiet time so that you can take control of your emotions.
You do not have to meditate in a traditional way, but you can learn to find a way to find peace and clearing your thoughts in your own way.
Clean out your thoughts and do things such as go for a walk or do yoga. The feelings that you have that are intense is part of you.
Don’t Push Them Away
The feelings that you have are there to help others. You have to learn to accept the feelings and not to push them away.
When you do not face your feelings, it can cause you to not be able to heal. You have to learn to heal and remember that your emotions will not break you down if you follow through with them instead of trying to hide them or push them away.
Let your body move and allow your emotions to come through. Let them flow through you.
Pace Life
If you are focusing on your life and your health, then you need to learn to focus and to pace yourself. Do not get overloaded with things in your life and allow yourself to rest.
If social media is overloading you, let it go and learn to pace your time online.
Psychic
If you think you need help you can talk to a psychic. They are there to coach you and to help you figure out what is blocking your life. If you are an empath, you will need someone to talk to and to help you discover your purpose and your feelings.
Allow others to talk to you and keep you on your spiritual path.
Black and Brown Empaths
Some people do not realize that there are souls that have evolved and have been here for a purpose such as George Floyd. He changed the world by the way that he lived and lied, and he lived his own life lessons.
He made an impact on the way that he died and was loved by many people and allowed others to show love to him and his family.
You are the one that dreams for your ancestors and the spiritual work that they do. If you need a break, take one and allow yourself to forgive. We must forgive so that we can move forward.
Do not be upset or discouraged but allow yourself to be spiritual and to be comforted in the darkest moments of your life.
All Empaths
You have to take a moment to make a plan in your life. There are no coincidences and even though the Coronavirus is not something we wanted to face; we are all feeling the insecurity of it.
This is not a time to give up, but you have to learn to be connected and to have more compassion for others. Let your vulnerability shine and learn to have joy through your suffering.
Learn to help others and to change your plan to help others work through their pain and to reach their gifts. Your feeling and your life matters and what you are going through is valid. Do not ever let someone tell you that you don’t matter because you do.
Allow yourself to heal and forgive yourself and others for the pain that you feel each day.
