I do not ask the wounded person how he feels, I myself become the wounded person.
- Walt Whitman, Song of Myself This poignant verse illuminates the essence of what it is to be an empath.
This extraordinary ability allows empaths to gain deep insight into the people and world around them.
Through sharing the emotions of others, empaths can form intimate and strong connections.
They are often sought out because of their uncanny ability to identify with people and are known as good listeners.
Their energy soothes and quiets with its healing nature.
This is the external empath.
The one the world sees and is drawn to.
The internal empath is often a different picture entirely.
Their emotions rise and fall with those around them.
In many ways, they are like a ship on the sea, being buffeted by waves from all directions.
The emotional rollercoaster can take a toll on an empath.
Their desire to help and support those whose feelings are as palpable as their own drives them to sacrifice their own well-being.
Swamped in a miasma of emotional baggage that doesn't belong to them, they struggle to maintain balance against the tide that threatens to overwhelm their ability to identify and cope with their own emotions.
It is a daily struggle to keep the world at a distance without becoming isolated within themselves.
Fortunately, balance can be found and maintained.
Meditation is the foundation for an empath's emotional well-being.
In this book, we will explore common traits of empaths and some of the issues they frequently face.
We will lay the first level to your empathic foundation by discussing basic meditation and the benefits you will receive through it.
Following the basics, we'll build another layer of your foundation with several techniques to augment the meditation that is specifically designed to help you maintain your empathetic equilibrium.
Finally, we'll help you solidify your foundation by offering ways to empower yourself and your empathetic gifts.
Empowering Your Empath.
