Hi, friends.
It's Josie.
Thank you so much for being here today, in this video,
I have seven signs for you to recognize yourself
as an empath, how to really pay attention
to your own sensitivity and empathic energy.
So I hope this video helps you.
Let's go right into it.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
You know, I speak to so many empathic people,
and these seven signs, they are universal.
Sign number one, you feel people's pain.
So you may be speaking to someone, and they look so happy
and they're joking, but you have this internal feeling,
you have this gut feeling that something is going on.
You cannot put your finger on it,
but your intuition is always telling you,
now someone is suffering.
So sign number two--
now these first two signs, they go together.
They're very closely related.
Sign number two, you always want to reach out and help.
You always want to be the first person on the scene,
even if it will cost you your own time, your own energy.
So it's important to understand that empathy
is that driving force that asks you to reach out.
So when you-- my spirits are playing with my lights again.
So if you have this instinct to go ahead and help someone,
right away, right this moment, wait.
Ask yourself this question.
Now is that person actually ready to receive my help?
If my investment of time and energy
will just go wasted because I feel the need to be of service,
to be of help to somebody, doesn't
mean that they are ready to receive it.
So it's very important that you take control
of that empathic gift and not to let it drive your life,
to stop and to set some boundaries.
So that's where you really step into that power
and use your empathy to actually benefit yourself
and so many people around you.
Sign number three.
That's kind of my story.
I feel really drained in public places.
In places where there's a lot of energy, a lot of people,
I really feel tired.
If I had to take a bus or a crowded train,
I will literally fall asleep.
I can't help it.
I'll be like, oh god, wake me up in 20 minutes.
It also relates to people in your life
who are very energy possessive.
If you are around people who are negative,
they borrow energy from everyone around them
by triggering certain emotions, such as fear and worry
and anxiety.
So if you are in the presence of someone who's negative,
who is triggering all of these negative emotions in you,
remember, save it.
Save it for yourself.
Don't give it away by holding your ground.
Now I've done videos on that, many, many videos
on keeping your grounded, by staying grounded
and protecting that sensitive energy.
I will link these videos for you below.
So sign number four.
Now what I've seen that many empathic people would
prefer to stay by themselves.
Being alone, they feel very much protected and safe
when they are by themselves.
Well, Josie, I am an introvert.
I don't have any friends.
As a matter of fact, I don't have any friends at all.
I love my own company.
I can do whatever I want.
I can take a walk in nature.
I can read a book.
I feel good.
Please understand that empathy can do that to you.
You'll have this false illusion that being
all there by yourself is OK.
When you feel vulnerable, when you
are afraid to be exposed, to create
meaningful connections with other people,
that's where you will--
again, that empathy will work against you.
So we live in a world where there are so
many possibilities.
All you have to do is just to open the internet
and find someone who is resonating with you,
somebody who's sharing the same messages, somebody whos sharing
the same interests with you, and reach out to them.
So sign number five.
Many empathic people naturally tap into nonphysical realities
and nonphysical energies.
Now that could be angels.
This could be spirit guides, their departed loved ones.
They may not see them with their eyes,
but they feel their presence.
They're sensitive to the point when they recognize
that something is going on, there
is an energy presence with them.
And many empathic people have told
me stories of angels, that they had guardian angel when they
were little, or their departed loved
ones came to them in a dream.
So they are just naturally more sensitive
to these nonphysical energies.
Sign number six.
Now many empathic people have serious problem
with forgiveness.
Now if you don't remember anything from this video,
I really need you to pay attention here.
Forgiveness.
For sensitive people, it's a physical symptom for them,
not knowing how to forgive, not having the tools to forgive.
That's where they get trapped in suffering.
If they have ever been hurt on a deep emotional level,
that pain becomes that.
It grows in them.
Now it really takes on, you know, growing roots.
So they cannot let it go easily.
So they walk around every day with this heavy weight,
psychic emotional weight of their past.
They don't know how to release that.
And that's why many people try to protect themselves too much.
But I'm here to tell you that forgiveness always
begins with yourself.
Forgiving yourself is the most important thing you can do.
Self-blame, shame, all of those issues and low energy emotions,
they must go.
You need to let them go when you free yourself.
And you allow yourself to grow in your own authentic, true
self.
Then you will notice that many, many issues in your life
will simply go away.
They will disappear.
They will no longer be an issue.
You will say goodbye to that pain forever.
And finally, what I notice that a lot
of empathic people, interestingly,
become activists.
Their voice is important.
If they see suffering, say, animals suffering,
so they will speak about becoming a vegan,
or they will direct people's attention to world issues.
That's where that empathic power can manifest.
That's where compassion and kindness, that's
where all of these qualities become
the source of powerful movements in the world.
That's where rallies for peace, that's
where some important realization and inspirations come.
That's where the best books have been
written by empathic people, because they see these issues.
And they want to make a change.
So here you go, guys.
Seven signs that you are an empath.
I hope this video was helpful to you.
If you want to share stories, now
what does it mean for you to be an empathic person,
please share in comments.
And I'm sending you my love.
Be well, be great.
I love you, and I'll talk to you in the next video.
Bye.
