Do you often find yourself caring for others and feeling their pain? Do you easily make others’ problem your own without even realizing it? Do you think you are hypersensitive?

If you nodded in yes to these questions then there is a high probability that you are an empathic person. Now there is a lot of fuss about being an empath and the relative perks, but in this post we find out whether empaths are truly blessed or cursed.

Empaths are not easy to explain

Like any other mystic field empathic behaviors are not easy to explain either. But what I have found and what experienced psychics agree to is the fact that being an empath is like a double edged sword. This is because as an empath you have a very sensitive intuition that can help you to find answers to some of the toughest questions of life. However as you are also hyperemotional it is easy for you to fall prey to your emotions and get too involved into helping others and losing track of your own wellbeing in the takeoff.

If you strive to be more empathic then you need to understand what skills you want to develop. As there are many empath traits you need to know which one you need to harness.

Empaths are people who help people around them healthier both emotionally and physically. But they do not do so just to help people but also because empaths themselves are affected by the emotions of people around them, so the more comfortable people around them are the more safe they are.

This is why sometimes an empath is also called a chameleon because they change according to their surroundings. Another confusing fact about empaths is it is not easy to decide if they are self-caring or self detrimental.

As mentioned, empaths try to take care of the environment to make them comfortable, sometimes they end up avoiding confrontation so as not to make someone angry or sad, even when empaths themselves are suffering. So what would you call this-self-care or self detriment? Well, you decide on your own.

Essential Practices for Empaths

After going through the joys and pitfalls of being an empath, if you recognize yourself as the one, then there are a few steps you can take to improve the joys and lessen the sorrows.

1. Develop your aura

Between your physical body and your external environment there is a layer of your energy aura. It is the interface that connects you to the environment. If you develop your aura you better shield your body from the environment.

2. Do not take unnecessary responsibilities

As an empath is it natural for you to fall for others when they are in pain and in need of help, but make sure you only compassionate enough that you help people to the extend where you can maintain your sanity and health.

3. Smudge regularly

Others’ people energy can easily stick to you when you are an empath. This is why it is necessary that you regularly smudge yourself so that others’ energies do not influence you a lot.

Hope you will take care of yourself first before you help others.
