Empaths and Letting go.

I am definitely an Empath. Although I didn’t know this until recently. I always just thought it was me. That sounds silly I know. But I mean how do you really put words on who you are? Until you educate yourself. When I was smaller it was more of my Gut instinct or feeling. Plus being highly sensitive. I learned through reading books. That you can only be one or the other.

I first started noticing the feeling part. Taking on other people’s pain and mirroring their emotions. After receiving my Taria-Mai Reiki level one. It was the strongest after seeing a client. I asked my Reiki Master/Teacher about it and she said. It was because I was too attached to the outcome of their healing process. You see people are in charge of their own healing journey. Or a better way of saying it is their responsibility.

I still feel other people’s pain to this day. It’s just part of who I am. I will often feel my husband’s neck and shoulder pain. Or my son’s headaches. I’ll be all over him asking are you ok and show me your pupils! Acting as if he somehow has a new concussion. He’ll say, Don’t worry mom, my pain tolerance is just way higher than yours!” I’ve learned to say “ok take it off”. To my guides once I know whose pain it is I’m feeling.
