Tools to empower empaths
Heart Focused Breathing
Start by putting your hand on your heart center. Breathe at a comfortable pace.
Bring your attention to your heart and imagine your breath going in and out from your heart center.
Extend your breath out, then bring it back to your heart, again and again.
Now remember one moment in your life that made you feel very happy.
Bring that feeling into your breath. Allow it to go in and out with your breath.
Allow that good feeling to fill your whole being.
Doing this for even one minute each day significantly reduces anxiety.
Cleansing your aura
Connect with the aura that surrounds you - it is multi layered so choose the layer that is the furthest from your body
- Connect by feeling it, seeing it, or just knowing it is there
Around this entire layer are feelers. They look similar to fingers, and they are constantly moving, feeling everything you come into contact with.
While you're in the shower, let the water flow over you and imagine it going through all the feelers, cleansing them - let everything get washed away. It can literally come off you and go down the drain. You can also do this by imagining your in the shower, or in nature - like standing under a waterfall. Allow it to wash through your feelers to release everything you picked up in your day or week.
Do this daily or weekly or anytime you've been somewhere that you picked up a lot of different energies. It will help you feel clear and give you a fresh start.
Protection in a crowded place - Energy Spikes
Connect with the aura that surrounds you - it is multi layered so choose the layer that is the furthest from your body
- Connect by feeling it, seeing it, or just knowing it is there
Around this entire layer are feelers. They look similar to fingers, and they are constantly moving, feeling everything you come into contact with.
Connect with the energy feelers - do this by feeling them, seeing them, or just know they are there. They are naturally soft and flexible, and because they are part of you, you can move them how you want.
Imagine them going from fluid to hard and spikey. Change them all to spikes, and have the point sticking outward.
The goal of this is to protect yourself (like a porcupine).
When you put your spikes out, be sure to give them the job of protecting you - tell them - "don't let any negative or dark energies into my space; only love is allowed here."
It's important to say only love is allowed here, otherwise you are blocking everything from coming in.
Practice this technique before you actually need it! Have fun practicing it. If someone is coming toward you, put your spikes out and watch them turn and go the other way!
Use this before walking into a crowded place, or anywhere that has a mixture of energies and feelings, or if you're around someone who is full of anger, depression, or anxiety, or that you don't want coming close to you.
Remember when you return home or to a safe, comfortable place to tell them to soften again.
Difficulty making decisions? Use this technique.
Remember the pros and cons list? Well.... I recommend not using that. Why? As an empath it's pretty easy to find pros for everything!
Instead, do this:
Consider each possibility / each option
Imagine the outcome for each option
If I make this decision, what is the ripple effect?
How will those around me be effect by my decision? How will those I love feel?
How will I feel about this decision? When my loved ones feel this way how will that make me feel?
Is this the ripple effect you want to create?
Make your decision based on the ripple effect you want to create.
As an empath, we often make decisions based on how we feel in the moment. But if we're using our Superpower and being an empowered empath, we can consider the ripple effect and choose something that will have a powerful impact on ourselves and those around us.
Remember.... if you make a choice, then a few days or weeks into it, you realize a different choice would have been better, just change it. Don't beat yourself up or make yourself bad or wrong (this creates shame), Just make a new choice.
