During a workshop yesterday, someone shared that she struggles with the energy of others because she is an empath. While teaching, I received a message from Spirit that I, too, am empathic. Although I didn't see myself this way initially, upon reflection, I realized it was true. Most people who know me are unaware of people's emotional intensity, which literally causes me physical pain. An example is when someone is feeling truly overwhelmed, it feels like electrical currents are burning throughout my body, all of my skin feels like it's scrubbed raw, and I have trouble thinking because it feels like there are cotton balls instead of a brain. Different emotions have different physical impacts, and the discomfort only disappears once the situation is corrected. It's the reason I had to hurry to find a solution. At the time, my job consisted of patrolling the streets downtown, assisting with any medical or safety issues, dealing with individuals with multiple addictions, and other issues. I needed to develop coping methods to survive working in that particular environment. It wasn't something I planned to do; it was instinctual. When the person's energy was intense, I sent calming energy of love and peace to the person around me. The result was that the others calmed down, which became a win-win situation. It was a game changer for me; their energy no longer impacted my well-being. It sure is a gift, yet there are still two situations where I cannot be around concerts or sporting events. I hope this suggestion can help someone whose negatively impacted by others.
