AWAKENING EMPATHS

28 August 2020 / News

What I wish I knew earlier as a highly sensitive soul…

Hello Sacred Soul of Light & Thank you for tuning in to this week’s transmission, Are you an empath? Are you highly sensitive? I’m so excited about this week’s channelled messages because I know first hand what it means to be an empath here on the earth at this time, and how important it is to accept, honour and love this part of yourself as the sacred gift that it is. Too often though, the world doesn’t recognise the highly sensitive nature of empaths as a valid thing. This lack of validation leads to many of us thinking that there is something wrong with us, or that we need to just ‘toughen up’ and it can be heartbreaking. So many incredible souls are incarnating at this time, and many of the next generation coming through are highly sensitive souls here to help shift the earth from fear and pain back to higher unconditional love. Those of us who are here now, have the responsibility of being true to ourselves and creating lives, jobs and supporting structures for not only ourselves but for the new generations of empaths to be nurtured, honoured and empowered to do the light work they came here to to. That’s exactly why many of us corporate light workers are here, undercover, doing our inner work, transforming the culture and structures of the organisations we work in to help them shift and evolve to the frequency that will be appropriate for our children and the next wave of lightworkers. This time of mass awakening and working from home is an important part of the disintegration of the harsh collective corporate energy that has amassed in offices and organisations up until this point over years and years of collective pain and what I have come to call ‘pain pushing’ (to be explained later on) Many of us were already struggling to exist in a place with such harsh energy, with individuals so unconscious, so attached to suffering and striving and so addicted to the distorted masculine energy. As we healed that energy within ourselves, released our blocks, we have become even more sensitive to the great difference between our newfound frequency and that old environment. It has become even more unsuitable to us. That is why we need to really prepare ourselves for the transformation that is to come on the earth and ensure we build a life that empowers rather than drains us. So the universe has blessed the empaths with a period of supercharged sanctuary time. and boy did we need it.  So now it’s time to ensure we understand, honour and fully accept our highly sensitive nature as we go forth into new earth. We have a role here, we are here to help the earth feel and heal itself. But we must ensure we have structured systems and ways to protect and honour our energy throughout this transition. The first step is to recognise if you are indeed an empathetic or highly sensitive soul…

An empath is someone who not only feels empathy, but who actually feels the physical, emotional and energetic state of those around them. When you don’t understand this about yourself, life can be harsh and extremely difficult and exhausting. Signs that you may be an empath or highly sensitive include: Not wanting to go to public places where lots of people frequent including large shopping centres Really struggling with public transport Have trouble sleeping in new places or with new people around Struggle with large group social activities like weekends away Being excessively exhausted after full day team workshops where everyone is in one room for a long period of time Feeling physical sick and full of heavy energy upon returning home from any of the above Struggling with change of routine or travelling to new places, requiring a significant adjustment period  I know over my life, struggling with almost all of these points, I was so disappointed in myself that I couldn’t seem to do the things that people deem ‘normal life’. I think it was a combination of absorbing energy as a child and all through my growing up years, in my twenties I remember waking up most days feeling such a heavy achey hazy energy in my body. The only thing that would make me feel better was excessive sleep or exercise (I used to go to bikram yoga 90 minutes at 37 degrees about 5-6 times a week just to feel ‘normal’) I didn’t realise I was in a perpetual state of absorbing energy of others and not understanding why I felt so sick and heavy all the time.  It’s not until very recently I look back and understand if someone had explained empathy and energy as well as the notion of hyper sensitivity to me, I could have developed energy clearing routines that I now have and I could have been extremely more selective and decisive about the people and places I exposed myself to. Now I am extremely protective of my energy. It has changed my life and my health dramatically. I am still learning the best ways to protect, honour and work with my sensitivity and I don’t have it perfect yet, but below I am going to share what I have learnt in the hope it could help someone out there struggling with the same thing, or potentially your children who may be empaths that require understanding, respect & nurture. They also need to be taught practical ways to clear their energy to ensure they don’t accumulate heavy energy in the body that could be mistaken for other ailments and misdiagnosis.

Awakening Empaths: My Top 10 Realisations…

1. Accept this incredibly sacred aspect of you:

Don’t resist or talk down to yourself about this. It is a thing. I am here validating you. There are many resources out there now to support & acknowledge you. Release all judgement of yourself. Don’t tell yourself things like ‘I need to toughen up’ speak to your sweet soul with love.

2. Examine how you feel after an interaction with someone – this will give you a clue as to the potential ENERGY VAMPIRES in your life: 

Energy vampires are souls who are highly unconscious, so much so that they don’t even realise how unhappy they are. They are often emotionally blocked. They have blocked their pain for so long, and have become so out of alignment with their soul and their purpose that they don’t even realise that they are looking for sensitive souls to project, deflect and trigger in an unconscious attempt to feel something by triggering reactions in others.

3. Become aware of the coping mechanisms you have used up until this point, or the point you realised you may be sensitive or empathetic…Are they still serving you?

Unconscious empaths develop coping strategies to survive in the harsh energetic environments they find themselves in for example:

• Developing codependent relationships in a bid to protect themselves from the harsh energies around them
• Pushing their pain onto their loved ones because it is too much for them to hold – this can cause serious damage to relationships 
• Becoming heavily extroverted and putting on a show as a way to deflect energy with humour or grand gestures
• Needing to people please everyone as a way to avoid conflict or harsh responses
• Lack of personal boundaries, trying to rescue others
• Saying yes when they really want to say no

Unfortunately all of these coping mechanisms actually leave empaths accumulating dense energy and feeling even more depleted. These approaches are also destructive to the peace and simplicity so many of us empaths long for as they facilitate the weaving of complex and exhausting webs of energy keeping us trapped in low vibrational situations.

4. The best protection against heavy energy or energy vampires is acceptance of the trigger followed by an armour of SELF LOVE (BOUNDARIES!)

When you feel heavy energy, as always, you need to accept that you have been triggered rather than run around and resist it. It will eventually come out one way or another. Accept the trigger, examine what the experience is teaching you – for example:

Do you need to release the need to people please?

Do you need to practice listening to someone but imagining a shield of love & light between you and them protecting you from their energy?

Do you need to take back your power from those situations where you’ve said yes when you really want to say no?

Empaths feel the best when they start to honour their sensitivity and EMPOWER themselves by speaking their truth!

Things like..thank you, but I’m being called to focus on my own project at the moment, or Thank you for the invitation but I’m not comfortable going away with big groups due to my empathetic nature.

5. EMPATHS HAVE TO PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM OTHER EMPATHS, LIGHT WORKERS & CLOSE FAMILY & FRIENDS

Yes, we have to protect ourselves from other empaths, even our beautiful soul family. Remember we are talking about energy, So it’s not personal, we all go through different stages of healing and we are all dealing with different energies at different times.

So we are not protecting ourselves from the person, rather the dominant energy in their field. 

Yes if someone is very unconscious, they continue to embody heavy energies without doing the conscious work, without healing – then you may need to make the decision to not be around that person.

If on the other hand you are dealing with a conscious person with high awareness, you may be able to have the conversation with them and just be honest about struggling with the energy.

Sometimes if I am struggling with an energy – I tell the person I am talking to. I make a conscious effort to make them aware that I am struggling and that I do not want to dump or project onto them. Making the person you are with aware of this, makes it easier for them to protect themselves while speaking with you.

6. WE HAVE TO BREAK FREE FROM THE CYCLES OF ‘PAIN PUSHING’ or PROJECTING

When the heavy energy becomes too much to hold, often empaths will find anyone they can push their pain on. The pain they are pushing is often not even their own.

You will know if someone is pushing pain onto you because they will feel better after talking to you and you will feel horrible.

As empaths we must take responsibility for any energy we have attracted and not cleared from our space. Clearing with energy healing, crystals, sage, writing, singing, anyway we find to rebalance within ourselves will free us up to break out of the cycles of pushing of accumulated pain onto others.

7. NATURE & MOTHER EARTH ARE THE EMPATHS SANCTUARY 

Bare foot goddess on the earth. Breathing in the fresh air from the trees. Flowers. Sunshine. Ocean. Get into nature as much as you can. Make it your ritual. Release all heaviness back to the earth with love & gratitude.

8. BOUNDARIES CREATE FREEDOM

Speak your truth
Say No
Say Thanks but no Thanks

Honour your sacred energy. Empaths are often healers, here to to support humanity in their transformation. Our souls are not used to the harshness of the third dimension. It may have been lifetimes since we last had a life on earth, or it may be our first. Its important to honour what feels right for us, without getting caught up on ‘what others will think of us’ (thats just your old empath coping mechanism – let it go)

You are in control of you life
Who you see
Where you go
What you do

Choose wisely
Be selective 
It’s not selfish
It’s part of honouring your soul’s mission!

9. PALO SANTO

I love clearing my space and my body with essential oils and palo santo. For me I connect to palo santo, for others its rosemary and sage. Remember when you clear a space to set the intention of clearing all that is not divine love and light, and as you clear carefully, with intention, go to each corner of the house and each room and repeat ‘love and light, love and light, love and light’

You may even want to clear to loving uplifting music

10. EMBRACE YOUR GIFT: USE THE CORPORATE LEARNING GROUND TO HONE IT

Once we learn more about our empathy we can feel more gratitude towards it. For me while not understanding it has been a curse for much of my life, I am now empowered to understand, honour and use it in my healing work. It’s a delicate dance, I don’t always get it right, but I am getting better at riding the waves of energy and having fun recognising the energetic dynamics in the office – when others try to project on me, when I am being codependent, when I witness pain pushing or blocked energy vampires at work in the board room. It’s fascinating and empowering to notice the energy games around you. The minute you recognise any harsh energy as an opportunity to hone your empath warrior skills, you will surf that wave all the way home. Enjoy the ride beautiful.

So it is my wish that these realisations can help you if you are an empath or support you in any way when you come across a highly sensitive soul to have a deeper understanding of the gift.

The empaths are here to help transform the harsh energy on the earth, the plant seeds of awakening in the collective, to encourage humanity to FEEL and HEAL instead of resist and run from our wounds.

What noble work you do dear beautiful angel

Thank you for agreeing to come to earth at this time.

You are so loved and you are never alone in this, for we are all around you.

Have a beautiful week observing the energetic dynamics within and around you.

Become the empath warrior master of energy and you will rise above any harshness.

Be gentle on yourself as you would another, for it is in the falling that we find our ability to rise.

Love Always,

CA
