Think of this as an escapade that we are about to take, all I ask is that you open your mind to something that may blow it away. These are feelings I don’t usually address, in doing so I am taking you into a different world and part of me.
These topics I will explore over a series of posts, for a gift can manifest in many forms.
In the past I have felt a level of shame surrounding my weirdo tendencies, where now I feel it is important to discuss, for we all incorporate emotions and attributes along a gamut, we are a collective pod. This is to give you more understanding for who I am and other light-workers, indigo, crystal, and star children who may have similarities.
Empaths are like mirrors to the environment and people, they are able to tune into what is occurring on many levels. Empaths are very sensitive to everything that goes on around them, for it is felt deep within them. The understandings of people and environments come with a vibration, which are felt by empaths. Empaths understand others pain, sometimes to a physically debilitating point. They are able to see behind people’s words and actions to what is underneath. Empaths have a deep ability to see into people clearly, and view others psyche’s. When faced with negativity an empath will become withdrawn, quiet and introverted. When there is positivity an empath will light up with excitement and happiness.
Empaths can become very tired when they are around many people (mall, etc.), there is an element of absorbing other’s energies to exhausting points.
I feel every person’s light and beauty, which gives me hope for humanity and the survival of our species. My gift has many facets to it, far more than empathic now. My gift allows me to understand and see other’s patterns and what they need to come into acceptance with. Every person has their strengths and weaknesses, helping others to see their best heals me. I am able to take energies from others so they feel better, which is what empaths do, I call it transmuting.
When someone feels something, I feel it in my body. I can usually discern if one is healthy or unhealthy (on all levels) by how my physical feels in one’s presence, whether it is in my head, stomach, back, neck, etc. I am unable to distinguish the exact meaning of what is what, other than love, unless one allows me to tune into their energy during a healing.
I can feel thoughts, actions and deeds directed at me. When one feels love, happiness, joy, freedom, acceptance, and compassion, etc, I feel unlimited in my expression with them, my heart feels glorious.
Judgement, jealousy, anger, fear, possesiveness, gossip, hatred etc. all hurt me deeply, making me very depressed, withdrawn and tired. I feel this all from far away as well, only to then feel love for the negativity and people who it is coming from. Love cancels out all negative feelings and experiences. In shamanic teachings there is a term for this, which I will get into in more detail. Those close to me, I can feel long distances.
I am able to tell when people are hiding or lying by understanding intentions, even beneath the surface. This ability as a child caused misunderstanding for others, unable to process what I didn’t know, it left me confused. This is where my introversion started to happen, I had a nature of understanding people, yet couldn’t understand my integral gift. Discerning what is mine and another’s has taken a while to develop for myself.
As my consciousness has risen, even if I tried I couldn’t possibly lie or hide; the truth is so much more beautiful to express, and naturally escapes me. I bring up the truth of people’s inner being, which reflects within me. My path is about bringing truth in the way of the highest for every person, with love and compassion, which has been a test at times, especially with those I love.
If we look at one another as mirrors, instead of judging, we can feel illuminated. Judgement hurts the judge and judged, so why judge?
I like to ask myself what is it that is irking me, how can I allow it to empower me?
Feeling misunderstood in my life for my gifts, now that I know what they are and how to properly use, they no longer come with the high price tag they used to. I wish to heal the world and what an amazing tool I have been gifted to do so.
I believe that every human has a gift, when we start opening to our intuitive senses, it can help our life immensely. I believe that all people are empathic to some level. I will elaborate on more tools, techniques and ways to access your gift in the next few posts.
What is your gift dear one?

Nicole, whatever our gifts are, we only feel “weird” at the beginning, as long as we’re sticking out from the masses. The more people understand, that is experience for themselves, the more accepted “the weird” becomes. I remember in the 1970′s Spirituality and New Age was almost synonymous with “not quite right in the head”, and parapsychology etc. were considered fake or unrealistic.
I look forward to your series
Thanks for sharing, that’s pretty cool, I am sure some of what was regarded as crazy talk back then, is now commonly accepted in our societal speech and thinking. I think that these more intangible senses can frighten people when they don’t understand the beauty of them. I am proud to say I am gifted, and love to see others hone in on their gifts! I think that if we all lived by our intuitive senses, this world would be a much more peaceful place.
Thank you, as always!
I’ve had these feelings over and over and over again myself. I wrote about Energy this morning and a few other times on my blog. I always seem to forget how affected I am by other people but I’m learning how to pay more attention.
I will check it out for sure, thank you for enjoying, these are feelings I have had my whole life, the empowerment has come from understanding what they mean!!!

Nicole
