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 »

If you’ve been reading this blog, you know that being an empath can be bliss. As a skilled empath, you can gain wisdom and do service in a way that non-empaths simply can’t.
As a very skilled empath, you can learn techniques for what I call “empath-merge” and have an extremely vivid experience of being another person. Or a flower!
But skilled empaths are made, not born. Instead some of us — I estimate 1 in 20 Americans — are born as unskilled empaths, “merely” talented. 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.

Somewhere between too easy and too hard lies the truth. Yet consistently I find empaths who don’t understand what is involved in becoming a skilled empath.
Consequently, they try too hard, making life way more complicated than it needs to be. Or else they assume that the skills needed are way too easy.

“I’m sick of it,” the client told me. (Here I’ll call her “Jean.”)
“Being an empath, my whole life I’ve been giving to people. Since we’re in the minority, of course, people haven’t given back to me in the same way.
“Well, I’ve had it. I’m tired of doing all the giving. Read More »
