For Empath Empowerment, Quiz Yourself

Could I be an empath? That’s a first step in Empath Empowerment. Here’s a quiz I developed to help you, adapting a quiz for Highly Sensitive Persons developed by Dr. Elaine Aron.

Are you already a Skilled Empath? Then this quiz may serve to remind you of how far you’ve come.

Empath Empowerment isn’t something you can learn from any blog post or two. Could you learn to ride a bicycle that way? See LINKS for resources that can Read More »

Empath Empowerment Intro on YouTube

Empaths, you deserve to become skilled. It’s not enough to merely be talented.

Sometimes an empath likes to vibe out a teacher in advance of studying. Well, here’s your chance, a You-Tube video where I talk at some length about the importance of becoming a skilled empath. 

It may appear that I am speaking Japanese. This Intro to Empath Empowerment was filmed in Japan. My dear friend, and interpreter, Kaori Ueno, is off Read More »

Why This Empath Loves Japan

On the morning of Trip #8 to Tokyo, I’m so excited. Bouncing out of bed as if today were a major world holiday! Which, of course it is, in my world.

Bouncing out of bed at 6 a.m. when my plane doesn’t leave until 12:45? As if this made a lot of sense!

Oh, but it does. Even though I really need every hour of comfortable reclining in an actual bed. Nobody, not even the coolest traveler outside of first class, emerges comfortably after 13 Read More »

Empath Protection on Election Day

If you are an empath, here are some words of advice for Election Day.

Before you leave home, for mercy’s sake, do NOT just think about where you are going. Important though that is! Yes, voting today is extremely important. But now we’re talking about you, the voter, as an empath.

(Incidentally, the skills in this post would also be helpful to some degree if you are a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), not an empath. If the reason isn’t clear to you, put a Read More »

Dangerous Advice for an Empath

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 »

Aura Reading & Empath-Merge — What’s the Big Difference?

This week, let’s continue to profile this November’s rivals for the Virginia senate. Besides doing an Aura Reading of several chakra databanks, I’ll let myself go into an Empath-Merge. But let’s clarify basics today.

What’s the difference between the two, an “Empath-Merge” and an Aura Reading?

Anyone can do an Aura Reading. All you need is talent. (And everyone was born with many talents for Aura Reading. Only everyone does not have the same Read More »

True Empath Empowerment Vs. Strong Boundaries

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.

Why Must Empaths Do More than Spot Narcissists?

To solve the special problems that empaths have with spotting narcissists and protecting themselves from narcissists, let’s begin with some definitions. (If you already know these definitions, scroll down to our fun examples of enabling ”Pat the Narcissist.”) 

As an aura reader and empath empowerer, here’s my perspective. A narcissist is someone who is chronically self-absorbed to a significant degree. To spot narcissists every time, you’ve got to read auras. 

Narcissist patterns show in the heart chakra. Many other databanks in auras can help you spot narcissists, which is why aura reading is so necessary for anyone who is really determined to never be tricked again by a narcissist in nice-person’s clothing. Read More »
