Being Empathic
Chelle Van Dyke



The word  empathy  derives from the Greek words  empatheia  meaning  passion  and  pathein  meaning  to experience, suffer .

According to Miriam Webster's online dictionary   Empathy is the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another of either the past or present without having the feelings, thoughts, and experience fully communicated in an objectively explicit manner.
As humans  our empathic skill are always turned on  as with all things  we just need to be open to receive the messages. It's like a radio it may be playing  but are you listening?

If you are a healer or psychic  you are always adjusting your frequency  like an antenna  just as an empath does  to help others.

Not all empaths are sympathic. Empaths feel emotions of others but do not have to feel sympathy for them. Empaths   for the most part  are compassionate though  with a desire to heal and help others.

One can be an empath from childhood. They are called natural empaths who inherit this ability allowing them to experience in higher frequency of awareness. Some people develop their empathic abilities later in life when they are more aware.

Most are right brained in the sense of using the creative intuitive side of the brain  people who use higher frequencies to connect.

Strong empaths must learn how to discern their own emotions from someone else's.

There are degrees of empathic abilities which vary from empath to empath.

Empaths are always sensitive people.

Empaths not only pick of others emotions  they can project emotions as well  that will get picked up by those on the same frequency.

Some people in metaphysics believe that people with light eyes are more empathic. This is not true.

We all have certain degrees of empathic abilities. By this I mean - we all have the ability to adjust our emotional bodies with that of someone we are close to  especially if there is a love connection. This does not have to be a romantic connection. When you live with someone  or just love them you can align your emotional body with theirs and feel their pain. The pain can be physical or emotional.

Being empathic means become one with someone or something else. You can connect with plants, animals, just about anything including the universe itself. It is almost a form of remote viewing. You can read emotions and thoughts through vibrational frequency.

Being able to empathize with people often helps you deal with them. You know what to say and do to keep balanced.

Physical Empathy...

One can take on the pain of another   especially in the case of twins - their frequencies are often linked.

When I am reading someone and I want to scan for health issues - I telepathically   or empathically   connect my body with theirs. I feel what they feel. If I find myself coughing   that person either has allergies or smokes   cigarettes or other. I quickly sense where I have pain in my body and go there to see what the problem is.

Emotional Empathy

Most empaths are more attuned to emotions than thoughts. To be an emotional empath is to experience the emotions of others  the positive and negative  pain and suffering and as well as love and compassion.

We become emotional empaths when we watch a film or TV show. This is a vicarious way of experiencing the emotions we came here to explore  but are not part of our personal experience.

We return to soap operas  TV series such as the latest series of reality shows as part of being emotional empaths. Positive people will hope for a postitve outcome of the storyline. For negative people it will be the opposite.

Most of us can turn our empathic abilities on and off as we tape in to the frequencies. But for others they seem to have no control over what they experience.

Those in control  embrace the subject  and those not in control feel a loss of power and hate it.

Under stress  awareness is heightene as well as empathic abilities.. It is best to pause and go back to the emotions you experienced before the negative ones surfaced  then detach.

If you have empathic gifts  you also want to understand and control what is happening for you  to manage your empathic abilities and not become overwhelmed.

Being an empath is a soul decision.

We often believe that entities who come from higher realms have great empathic abilities. This is due to their higher frequency of thought. They are telepathic and usually have no oral language as they are not physical. Everything is telepathic and empathic for them.

People use their empathic abilities when in other paranormal acitivites such as ghost hunting.

To increase empathic abilities  you most open the 'right side' of your brain  moving the logical mind aside. Begin with something creative  art , listening to music,  meditation , yoga , writing for pleasure or being in nature or in the water , etc....

Practice your empathic abilities when you are with someone either by being in the same proximity or by gently touching their hand.

You can try this by remote viewing by seeing the person in your mind then becoming one with their emotional body.
