Quite often someone will say “Jeepers so and so really
brings me down” or “I don’t know why but today I felt really happy” Aside from
clinical issues such as mood disorders and depression or the odd simply batsh*t
crazy, there can also be a spiritual reason for feeling a certain way without
being able to pinpoint the exact reason.
Ever heard the phrase that someone’s laughter is “infectious”
or “they can really motivate people?” Empaths can do this, as they can receive
and decode others energies in order to feel them for themselves. They also have
the ability to project their own energy; a cheerful upbeat person will more
than likely whip up a group into the same emotional space, and intense maudlin
person will unfortunately and most likely bring everyone down.
An empath, in spiritual terms is actually someone who “picks
up” on others energy and most of the time are completely unaware they are doing
it. As we have discussed before, we are
all two parts of one story; energetic beings as well as human beings. We have
to make sure we understand this and we aren’t just energetic or just human, as
being an empath is one of the classic examples of when the two parts of us can
overlap. Human emotions are manifested or created by the transference of
spiritual energy.
An empath is like an undeveloped medium if you like, they
can already send and receive energetically they just aren’t at a stage where
they can control or apply it. Having said that, we must not confuse an empath
with a telepath as they are two distinctly different abilities and sometimes I
wonder if there is such a thing as a telepath but we can get to that in another
Daily Spook and when Arty explains it to me. As I write he tells me telepathy
is not what with think, but let’s not get off topic here much as I would like
to! Another Daily Spook on the story board!
An empath is a kind of spiritual sponge, absorbing energy and
because our energetic force fields contain our emotional energy that is what
transfers between the empath and those around them. In the same way as a sponge soaks up water,
it has to be wrung out occasionally to get rid of the excess and unwanted
baggage and this is where empaths sometimes run into trouble, they don’t
realise they need to be spiritually squeezed out periodically to remain
spiritually and mentally healthy!
An empath can “feel” spirit because the part of us that
creates our energy is the spiritual
part of us. Depending on the degree of
spiritual empathy an empath can either just “feel” that there is a spook in the
room or go to the other end of the spectrum and say “I felt Grandad was with me
today” thus actually identifying the energy signature. Remember me saying I no
longer need to see Arty because I know what he feels like now. It’s the same
thing. The empath that can differentiate between general energy presence and
energy definition is destined to be a strong medium if that is the path they
chose to follow. It can be a momentary feeling or one that last minutes but the
knowing and thus the wiring to do so is there. Mediums have to be empaths first
but empaths don’t have to be mediums. This is not to be confused with being psychic
though. Different thing altogether, a psychic reads energy by going to the
energy.
Empaths also tend to have very strong intuition, whether
their human self allows them to communicate and follow this is another issue
and unique to each individual. This is where it gets complicated because
sometimes an empath can pick up on others feelings and “own them” by assuming
they are their own and letting them play out so to speak. If an empath picks up
on a person who is depressed and anxious they can become so and the human
confusion is not knowing why we feel
like that. The uneducated empath will then apply these hijacked feelings to
their own situation because they feel it and they don’t know why. An example
is; Empath picks up someone else’s anxiety. Before they do that they have a
normal happy life, good job and sound relationship and then without reason they
develop fear about their job or their relationship. Knowing it is unfounded and
being unable to pinpoint the reason they became more anxious and thus the
feeling becomes theirs to deal with. They make
it theirs, and this is where the human and the spiritual collide and cause
problems, particularly if the empath does not know they are one. This however
should not be confused with the very real condition of mania, depression or
anxiety and when we have constant destructive behaviours or negative thoughts
we should talk about them and seek help. Sometimes an empath can expel these
feelings simply by talking about them too. The energy is out there and dealt
with. Other times the empath must ground and then protect themselves to shed
the baggage that is not strictly theirs.
Empaths have to be careful not to pick up spooks who
shouldn’t be there because they can be unintentionally magnetic when it comes
to attracting other spook energies as well as human energy. Although the link
between mental health and spiritual energy is complex and questionable there is
no doubt during my research that I have found if a spook wants you to be
depressed and you are an open empath, then you’re going to get down in the
mouth. If a spook wants to get through to you and you are an empath you can find
yourself thinking thoughts that might well not be your own; when Matthew
arrived in my spook space I had a sudden urge for vodka when my drink of choice
is champagne. It can also be an impulse to learn a new skill that you had
previously never considered; I had a strong urge to do my pilots licence when I
was younger and then ten years later found out my maternal grandfather was a
pilot. Much of this was spook transmission because I was picking up on who was
around me in spookland.
The other issue is that when a negative spook gets hold of
an undiscovered empath they can ‘hide’ because they like the energy source.
They will keep prodding and poking to keep you in a negative frame of mind because
you are fuelling them and who cares what it is doing to you! An example of this
was that a client of mine met a potential partner. She was confused as she
adored him, felt everything was right but now and again she kept thinking how
it wouldn’t last and happiness wasn’t possible with him. She came to me for a
general reading and I mentioned to her that she had a spook around her. The
mother of an ex-partner who was rather angry that the previous relationship with
her much loved son had not worked and thus this spook was “meddling” in my
client’s energy to try and stop her going forward. Mummy-spook wanted her to go
back to her beloved son! My client admitted she didn’t want to go back to her
previous partner as the relationship had run its course, but didn’t understand
why she kept thinking of him when she wanted
to go forward with her new partner but just couldn’t make the leap. A short sharp chat with Mummy of ex-partner
spook and kicking her out of my client’s spiritual space paved the way for a
new relationship and without the anxiety of Mommy Dearest! Don’t forget the
strongest spook communication is “thought and imagination.” If they want to
they can put anything there that they want to and we have to recognise and get
rid of it if we need to.
Using the ability of empathy is something we have to learn,
again because whilst we are here on this spinning lump of dirt and water we
have a human side that tends to interfere with our real self, our spiritual
self. So being an empath is one thing but recognising it and applying it where
it’s appropriate is another thing and is something that has to be learned
carefully and with respect to spook!
In my experience empaths tend to experience one or all of the
following;
· You feel the need to look after or care for others less fortunate than you even if sometimes it is to your detriment.
· You have a high sense of morality and justice.
· You instinctively like or dislike people.
· You make decisions based on a gut feeling that is generally right
· You worry or become concerned about people that may not be your real concern (friends of friends, acquaintances)
· Places have feelings for example you can walk into a house and know whether there is anyone there without seeing them or knowing they aren’t there.
· You have seemingly irrational feelings about places you have never been before; either you are really attached or you strongly don’t like a particular place because of the feeling.
· Your instincts will usually tell you if someone is being untruthful
· You can answer yes or no questions without thinking about it
· When you say “it will be alright” to someone who is in a difficult situation you are usually right.
This is the simple version and as mentioned, not everyone is an empath
so don’t assume if you have erratic moods that you are. If you are unable to
cope with your feelings remember; Doctor/Counsellor first – medium second!
