Hi All this is a thread I posted a few years ago that I thnk might be of interest to later day members!







Empaths are emotional sponges

Traits of an Empath

Empaths are often quiet and can take a while to handle a compliment for they're more inclined to point out another's positive attributes. They are highly expressive in all areas of emotional connection, and talk openly, and, at times, quite frankly in respect to themselves. They may have few problems talking about their feelings.

Empaths have a tendency to openly feel what is outside of them more so than what is inside of them. This can cause empaths to ignore their own needs. In general an empath is non-violent, non-aggressive and leans more towards being the peacemaker. Any area filled with disharmony creates an uncomfortable feeling in an empath.

If they find themselves in the middle of a confrontation, they will endeavour to settle the situation as quickly as possible, if not avoid it all together. If any harsh words are expressed in defending themselves, they will likely resent their lack of self-control, and have a preference to peacefully resolve the problem quickly.

Empaths are sensitive to TV, videos, movies, news and broadcasts. Violence or emotional dramas depicting shocking scenes of physical or emotional pain inflicted on adults, children or animals can bring an empath easily to tears. At times, they may feel physically ill or choke back the tears.

Empaths will struggle to comprehend any such cruelty, and will have grave difficulty in expressing themselves in the face of another's ignorance, closed-mindedness and obvious lack of compassion. They simply cannot justify the suffering they feel and see.

People of all walks of life and animals are attracted to the warmth and genuine compassion of empaths. Regardless of whether others are aware of one being empathic, people are drawn to them as a metal object is to a magnet! They are like beacons of light.

Even complete strangers find it easy to talk to empaths about the most personal things, and before they know it, they have poured out their hearts and souls without intending to do so consciously. It is as though on a sub-conscious level that person knows instinctively that empaths would listen with compassionate understanding.

Here are the listeners of life. Empaths are often problem solvers, thinkers, and studiers of many things. As far as empaths are concerned, where a problem is, so too is the answer. They often will search until they find one, if only for peace of
mind.

Empathy is gift but you must learn to control and direct it. You can pray for protection and at the same time imagine you are being filled from your head down to your toes with an intense bright white light.

How to utilise your gift of empathy

Imagine a strong force field a bubble like energy field protecting your whole body.

Do this for a few minutes or as long as you like, then hold both hands upwards and throw the energy at the object of your distress or at the person you want to help, both physically or mentally.

Even if the target is on the other side of the world

Wait until you actually begin to feel the flow of energy flowing out of your body usually from your hands and fingers that comes from God and not you.

People especially empaths wrongly use their own limited life energy to do this and end up being hurt, drained and depressed

You dont like me do you? you seem to join forums just to put people down. I see your type of unpleasant hateful people all over the net, next time I will not take the bait, this is the second time you have tried to provoke me as far as I am concerned you and your like can go to hell!!

I never said it was my own work if it is I put my name to it, I just overlooked the link that is all nothing sinister like you suggest

I forgot to put the link so I have sinned in the sight of man and God and ask for forgiveness because unlike you I am a fallible human being.

May the fleas of ten thousand camels lodge in your beard.

Are you an empath? obviously not, just a  hateful selfish person?
