are you an empath or do you know somebody who's an empath this video we're going to share about
what it means to be an empath the benefits of having this intuitive ability and also how to
manage it effectively number one is you might already have discovered within yourself empathic
people have the ability to take on the energy and emotions of other people and feel it in
their own body as if it is their own now this skill this gift is troubling to most empathic
people because as we all know a lot of people in the world they don't feel very good all the
time we don't even feel very good all the time so if somebody's in a poor mood or feeling down in
some way and you're feeling it it's almost like you have to manage your own challenges and then
you pick up the energy of other people and it can be just very confusing and very overwhelming but
that's only half the equation being able to read people read people's truth they're being able to
perceive their true state of being regardless of what they're saying most people are very kind of
you know they pretend basically but you can really feel into what people are going through and that
gives you an opportunity at times when appropriate to be able to lend a helping hand to say a kind
word to kind of offer someone compassion and it can go a long way your empathic ability to
helping you help make other people's lives better and make the world a brighter place the next thing
you need to know is that empathic people are very sensitive to their environment the energy the vibe
if you will of the environment it's something that affects you physically mentally emotionally and
if left if left to kind of run amok if you're intuitive a sense is just too open and Broad
all the time this it's like an overwhelm of info it's like over information overload you feel and
it can make you feel very confused and like just disconnected and ungrounded and it makes you just
want to recluse and not even be around people but again this is also once you learn to kind
of manage this it's very helpful because then you can easily discern what is good for you what is
right for you what is true for you maybe you're at a job interview and the person sitting before
you is saying all the right things the job seems fine but you can feel the vibe the energy it's
just not compatible with you and even if they pay you well even if your job title looks attractive
on paper you just you can tell without having to waste maybe months of your life and wasting your
time and other people's time you can tell this ain't gonna work how do you know empath well I
can feel it I just know it and then you know on the other side of the token you might have a job
interview that's like you know it's it doesn't pay as good as you would like but you can feel
the resonance you can feel this is going to be a good fit for you and then maybe you get
that job and then two weeks later somebody else in a much higher position more ideal position
they're fired and your your boss offers it to you and your and suddenly your pay goes up and
you have like this absolutely like awesome and ideal job situation as an empathic person you
can sort of foresee that by your ability to tap into the energy also empathic people have
the ability to empathize with people on a sole level which is phenomenal for your relationships
a lot of empathic people even though as they start to initially wake up to this ability
and for a time it's like overwhelming and they don't like it you know eventually like anything
in life like riding a bike you get the hang of it and you get to kind of come into your own and
you start to discover your own truth you start to really be able to decide who you really are
and then as you start to go through life more authentically that's when we tend to attract
the the soul family the soulmate people and this goes beyond your your you know your what
what Hollywood would deem your your soul mate your lover this Soul family are people that you have a
almost like a deep a such a deep bond and love and connection with that it transcends
uh ordinary relationships I've I don't know about you but I've met people that after one
conversation there's just a familiarity to them there's a a resonance in my body and
a a genuine and sometimes profound level of love that doesn't even seem to make any sense
and being an empath myself I've gone through my life over the last 15 years sort of working
with this ability and it's allowed me to connect myself with all sorts of Soul family members my
dear brother may know him Aaron Dowdy he's like uh beyond the best friend of mine he feels like
a brother we act like brothers and we he's like a soul brother I met my my beautiful wife Patty
she's a soul mate she's someone that I again I have this like Soul history with in a relationship
it's not always easy but it's fulfilling it's real it's authentic we grow together and this it also
extends into acquaintances you'll have soulmate bosses soulmate co-workers Soul weight you know
people that do your loan whatever it is you'll start to align yourself your frequency with people
that are literally from your soul family whether that's a true thing or not it will allow you to
really have extremely deep and meaningful real authentic relationships where you can be yourself
you feel safe to be yourself or you're encouraged to be yourself and it's amazing now a lot of
you are saying Victor I'm experiencing the exact opposite of this bro I'm becoming aware of all the
relationships in my life that are not like that that are not in alignment that are not authentic
and I'm waking up to it good because that's part of the process of rearranging your life
and yourself so that you are more in alignment and therefore more open so be patient if you're
currently in this kind of transitional period I went through it it's part of it and on the other
side of it is uh Soul family reunion number four it's very important for empathic people to learn
how to set boundaries and manage their energy to protect themselves from overwhelming situations
now it's not easy because it's kind of funny you know setting a boundary as a lot of you
know oftentimes requires saying no or more broadly it means saying something that you can accurately
anticipate is going to maybe upset someone you can tell someone's someone's got like an agenda
they have an attachment to this maybe request of you and you can see it all over the place you can
feel it and you know that you don't want to do it it's not ideal for you it's not fair to you maybe
but you know in saying no in that moment it's going to be uncomfortable for you especially
and also them it's going to you know you can anticipate the tension that's going to arise
in the circumstance that because you're empathic you feel a lot so a lot of times empathic people
overextend themselves but this as you probably have learned kind of kicks you in the butt in
the end you avoided attention for the moment but then you find yourself obligated to do this
thing you put your word into you gave them your word and that's going to be way worse oftentimes
I've also found this in my own life avoiding those uncomfortable tense uh conversations that
may be the moment calls for but we avoid it that usually leads to even more intense energy because
they're it's like a there's like a buildup of pressure and that pressure is going to kind of
culminate whatever is unresolved we'll come to light and if you nip it in the butt right away
it's a little uncomfortable but it's better in the in the long run but it's not easy but it's
very important if an empathic person really wants to manage their ability effectively they're going
to have to become I wouldn't say comfortable with but used to and accept the fact that saying no
can go a long way to you managing your energy and you know offering an equal amount of love
and uh you know goodness to yourself as you so willingly do other people empaths can also
benefit greatly from a type of meditation or self-care practice you know a lot of people
they kind of like meditation I can't sit still my my mind is too racy well for one that's how
it is for most people I've been meditating for like 15 years my mind is still racing but it
still helps but what I'm saying is empathic people if they really have the expectation of
truly managing their energy and optimizing their gift and having that discernment and having that
balance in their life and not feeling so overwhelmed I've never met a single empath
that can do that without some type of self-care practice now I know imposing structure you know
a regimen into your life is oftentimes uh you know not a desirable idea to empathic people
but what I found for myself I understand that line of thinking but I also found that having
the discipline and doing something like meditating even when I don't want to even when I don't feel
like forcing myself to do that actually gives me freedom it allows me to go through life more
conscious more present more grounded it allows me to make more conscious choices in my life
and not be run by my my lower impulses it also allows me to be able to recognize when my tank is
needing to be refilled and I'm in the red zone I'm on empty it just makes you more self-aware
also it cultivates a sense of inner peace and tranquility and balance and it calms the mind
it kind of soothes the central nervous system for the empath which can very easily be kind of like
like uh you know like overactive or a nervous system even common casual situations when you
can maybe sense maybe you're on a bus and you could like tell the bus drivers in kind of an
ornery mood that that alone could like cause you to go into like almost a fight or flight
thing because you're just so sensitive to their energy but a meditation practice can give you that
ability to be more objective to where you can be aware that bus drivers had didn't sleep well and
he's upset because of something going on with his relationship or something you could like know all
that but when you are meditative you can stay detached you won't feel so entangled in every
everybody's energy because you can just again be be like aware without attachment and finally
number six like any interesting thing in life being an empath is a like a it's like a spiral
like upward expansive Journey you can become more intuitive more in touch and this might sound like
the exact opposite of what you want to do Vic I don't want to be more intuitive I don't want to
be more open well as you learn to balance it and especially if you have that practice you
can be more objective you can go deeper and deeper and deeper and and just become quite
an amazing a coach a lot of empathic people become coaches uh healers very creative an
empathic person who's that open you can start you can kind of perceive these amazing million dollar
inspired ideas floating around the cosmos that most people are blind to most people are locked
up inside of their shell and you're like open to all this you can bring through some amazing
just Inspirations from the Divine because you can perceive them and you just get better and better
and better at this more and more balanced more and more in tune with yourself and your higher
faculties and it also allows you to beat us in a really good compassionate and understanding
friend and lover and and father or a mother and you just can become a really good person
because an empath is very open to love open to their heart open to what matters in life
and I promise you if you just take even a couple of these little suggestions and hopefully even
with this understanding you can start to see your empathic ability not as a curse not as
a burden not as a series and bullet point list of symptoms to be managed but that's a blessing
sensitivity is a blessing and I hope that by the end of this video you can recognize that
and start to experience a lot of the cool stuff I've experienced in my journey being an empath
more love more purpose more impact more peace more happiness hey just want to say thank you
