Empath Myth #1

Empath myths abound, although I haven’t really numbered them all in a systematic fashion. The empath myth for today comes in chronological order. It came up during a session last night. Here’s how it goes:

Empath Myth #1: If you have an emotional gift as an empath, you’re unusually aware of other people’s feelings.

Not necessarily. Behold my aura reading of “Empath Mary.” Read More »

How Can I Help You Become a Skilled Empath?

I’m honored to have written the first book to help empaths develop skill. More books for empaths have been published with each passing year, but they still don’t teach this method.

Instead, you’ll find two different approaches.

First, there’s emphasis on shielding and protecting yourself.

If you’ve been looking at books that attempt to solve the problem of picking up pain by shielding yourself, guess what? No aura reader would seriously advocate this as a way to develop skill for an empath.

Empath Empowerment Skills Can Now Be Learned from an E-Book

“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 »
