As an Empath Do you Have a Specific Purpose or Job to do in Life?
I think this is an excellent question to explore if you are an empath. One of the hardest things about being an empath often is not understanding why you are an empath. You think there must be a reason why you would exist in this world as an empath.
Let me take a second to define what an empath is in case this is the first post on this blog you are reading.
And empath is someone who can feel the emotions and sometimes pain of others as though they were their own. Much different from sympathizing or simply empathizing. To empathize with someone means possible from personal experiences you can UNDERSTAND what they are going through or experiencing. And EMPATH is very different in that they KNOW what you are going through and experiencing because they have the ability to feel it WITHIN themselves as though it were THEIR OWN emotion or pain. An unskilled empath often doesn’t know when they feel something that it is not their own emotion or pain they are feeling. Empathy transcends time and space. And empath can feel the energy of the emotion or pain not just from another human being (spirit living a physical existence) but also from animals, plants, spirits on the other side as well. To give you an example, an empath may wake up feeling perfectly fine and in a good mood. Then suddenly they can find themselves feeling agitated and angry. They may even have a sense that they feel that way for a specific reason (giving insight into what the person they are feeling is going through). That seems innocent enough but imagine an empath feeling the pain of someone dislocating their knee or getting an IV put in and you can understand why many empath want to know why they have been blessed with such a gift.
Getting back to whether an empath has a specific purpose of job to do in life, the answer is yes. An empaths most important job is just being…just existing. And empath transmutes negative energy and an empath also has the ability to project energy/light. Two important things an empath needs to do to serve the world and their purpose as an empath is to become a skilled/controlled empath and just exist.
