“Empaths of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your pains.”
Okay, that’s a semi-serious parody of “Workers of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains.” If you were born as an empath, you need humor. You need skill, besides. Otherwise, every day of your life, pain is likely.
Why? When you have the circuits of an empath, but are not yet a SKILLED empath, you will take on pain from other people. It will land right into your aura.
Maybe it helps that I’m an aura reader, giving me the ability to observe this directly. But you don’t have to read auras (yet) to know that something unsettling is going on, not if you’re unskilled as an empath.
Even if you don’t know exactly what that something is, you will often feel anxious, troubled, depressed, tired, easily hurt or way too vulnerable… as though your skin doesn’t quite work right.
Actually, it isn’t terribly uncommon for an unskilled empath to feel a whole sequence of moods like this, one after another. Read More »

Recently, I came across two very different empaths.
EMPATH #1, “Fran” had me read her aura, and it was a delight. Besides being well trained as a healer, she clearly had strong skills as an empath.
Her empath circuits were strong and wonderfully unencumbered by other people’s stuff. Moreover, Fran’s aura showed clearly that she had learned how to keep her empath gifts OFF most of the time, turning them on only when desired and doing this in ways that kept her safe.
EMPATH #2, Freya, gives empaths advice at her blog. I applaud her intent to help people get in control of their abilities. “It’s not always an easy process, but it is an achievable one, provided you make the effort.”
Then Freya goes on to advise empaths to project their emotions outward in order to change other people: Read More »

All kinds of empaths talk with me:
- Skilled empaths
- Questing empaths trying to find out “Who am I?”
- Scared empaths, fleeing energy vampires and narcissists
- Despairing empaths who believe they are damaged forever
- Empaths who (mistakenly) think they know everything about how to be skilled because they now “pay attention to boundaries.”
Here I’d like to give some much-needed clarification to the whole empath-boundaries-protection issue.
WHAT IS AN EMPATH?
Most beginners believe that an empath feels other people’s feelings.
Well, that’s a piece of the puzzle. Maybe.
At best, this definition is incomplete and misleading. But at worst, this definition is completely inaccurate.
