You need to understand that an empath is like the citrine crystal or Mother Earth…Empaths don’t just feel. In the process of feeling another what we are doing is we are transmuting the energy back to light. Just like the earth or the citirine crystal…we too absorb and transmute energy. If you think about that for a while and then think “What if the world had no empaths?” Can you imagine the chaos?
Why you? That is simple. You choose to be here incarnate on earth at this time. All who are here not only choose to be here but plan themselves the experiences they would have and wanted to be here during this time to be of help with the earths ascension. I know you may not totally understand what I am saying…but that is okay. Certain things you have to learn when you are ready and when it is time. Take your time learning…it is really about self exploration. You don’t exactly embrace being an empath overnight. It takes a while to finally get control over it to the point where you can see the good in it.
Working on raising your vibrations greatly helps. Like vibrations attract like. I actually don’t connect unconsciously as much as I use to. Sure I still have to clear connections a couple times a day but it is only because when I am not clear I find it hard to use my own senses as I am feeling more of another and less of myself. For example, earlier today I suddenly realized I felt nothing. I almost panicked a little cause I felt like I was no long empathic or psychic…I literally felt nothing. Well I was connected to a person who was very empty. Of course more people aren’t like that and when you are connected you will feel it…their emotions and often pain.
Do something once a day that helps to raise your vibrations even if it is just listening to uplifting music or simply ask your higher self to raise your vibrations…as well you can ask your higher self to help you cut the cords when you feel a connection to someone. Your higher self and guides will help you until you can handle doing it yourself…but never forget to ask when you really need to.
