Empathic tips

If you've been following me from the beginning then you know that I'm a sensitive. For those just joining or viewing my site this means I'm an empath.

What is an empath?

An empath is a person that feels the emotions of others strongly. It's like we're a sponge soaking up the emotions of other around us. If you've ever felt your good mood or emotions suddenly change due to a person near you being down for any reason, then you may be empathic. If you don't take steps to protect yourself from unwelcomed emotions then people may be draining you, literally.

This post will be about how to protect yourself and ground your energies. I've had several empathic people come to me in the past day or so with issues I could tell were draining them. When someone like this happens it's a sign that either their guide is leading them to me or my guide is asking me to help them. I'm a helpful person by nature and I love to share my knowledge with others.

(Note: These tips can be used for anyone. Not just empathic individuals.) 

Grounding: Grounding is a good way to rid yourself of unwanted emotions and negative thoughts. There is no right or wrong way to do this and you are free to find other creative ways to help you ground your energies. Visualization is the key.

One of the ways I like to ground is to imagine myself as a tree. I sit in a quiet area, close my eyes, and visualize my feet or the base of my spine, if I'm sitting, is the base of the tree. I imagine roots growing deep down into the earth. One or several of the roots will reach all the way to the center of the earth and anchor around it. Once the roots are secured you can start sending the negative thoughts, or emotions down those roots. Do this until you feel like the weight has lifted from your shoulders or you feel lighter. When you start to feel light or vibrating, you can start the process of lifting your roots back to you. Take a cleansing breathe and resume your day.  Repeat the process as needed.

More grounding tips:

• Imagining you are blowing the negative thoughts into a ballon, tying the bottom and allowing it to float away.
• Writing down what is affecting you and tearing it up. 
• Water has healing effects. While in the shower imagine the water is a bright white light flowing over you and allow the negative thought to go down the drain. 
• Walking in nature barefoot. Your feet connecting directly to nature is a grounding in itself. 
• Singing out loud and allowing it to flow out with each note you sing. 
• Dancing and imagining its moving out of you with each movement. 
• Clapping your hands and smashing them away. 
• Breathing them out. Inhale through your mouth and exhale through your nose slowly. 
• Hug a tree or touch a plant. Allow it to flow down the trees roots. 
• Imagining a cord driving into the earth to anchor and send them down. (Same as I described earlier with the tree) 
• Holding crystals. Crystals are excellent for grounding and healing. Squeezing on them releases their healing powers. A brown, black, red, or cream colored stone is for your base chakra or for grounding. A clear white crystal, quartz, is an all around all purpose stone. You can use that as well to increase your energies and rid the negativity from you. 
• Stamp your feet on the floor to allow them to be pounded into the earth. 
• Listening to music. It can calm your energy and help relieve your stresses. Try to stick to uplifting tunes.
• Imagine a white light filling you up completely and allowing it to push out the negative energy from you.

Those are just suggestions. If you've discovered other ways to clear your aura or energies then stick to those. Do what you feel comfortable with.

Protection: When you are empathic you need to guard your energies. If you don't take measures to protect yourself then you will feel like you're on a non stop emotional roller coaster with no way to get off. It will drain your energy, you will feel tired and weak constantly.

Visualization again will help you with protecting your space and energy. A way I like to protect myself is to imagine a white bubble of light surrounding my body. Know that nothing can penetrate this bubble, but love and good energy. Anything that tries will bounce off the bubble and hit the person directing it to you. They're feel it and eventually move on.

If you feel like it's not strong enough then double it up. Nothing wrong with a little more protection to guard what is yours. 

Mirrors are good too. Surround yourself with them and they reflect the bad energy back to its origin. Suit of light armor? Sure. You can use just about anything, use your creativity and again do what you feel comfortable with. Once you've learned how to protect and ground yourself you'll then be able to embrace your empathic abilities.

Well that concludes the lessons for the day. If you have any questions feel free to approach me and I'll be happy to help you in any way I can. If I don't know the answer I'll research my books, or looks for something online to send you.

Be well my friends.

Light and love to you all,
Viktoria.
