There is some pretty scary stuff going on in the world right now.

Whilst sometimes we can feel quite powerless to make change on our own, it's important you know that your role on this planet to make positive change is powerful. 

And it starts with empathy. 

Empathy, towards other human beings, other species and for our planet is the most potent medicine the world is desperately in of.

For those of you are feeling the pain of our mother earth quite deeply, it is possible that you are an empath, which is what I am sharing about today. 

Empathy is defined as sharing and understanding someones pain and suffering. We open our hearts and put ourselves in their shoes, to share the experience and offer support.

Being an empath is quite different from feeling empathy. Empaths are hypersensitive when it comes to feeling someones emotions. They mirror the response another human is having and they tend to absorb other people’s emotions and energy, therefore termed as emotional sponges.

Studies have shown that there are many different things going on for someone to be an empath. The main neurological difference going on within an empaths brain is something called the mirror neuron system, which identifies empaths to have a specialised group of brain cells that enable the mirroring of someone’s emotions, so they feel their pain as if it was their own emotion.  

Empaths have the strong ability to feel the energy field of other people and their surroundings. Whilst this is an incredible characteristic, empaths don’t choose when they can turn this on or off. This means 24/7 hypersensitivity to the world around them.

Because empaths absorb they can feel emotionally exhausted and energetically drained a lot of the time. Empaths can also feel the intense emotions without knowing why they are feeling that way because they've picked up energy from a person or a situation during their day and are carrying it in their body. This may feel like it’s their own emotion when really it isn’t.

With this hypersensitivity and ability to take on emotions that aren’t theirs, empaths can be prone to depression and anxiety. Because being an empath isn’t an official diagnosis in the medical world, empaths are commonly mid-diagnosed with depression or anxiety and are given prescription drugs. This indicates that something is wrong with them, when really they are just hypersensitive to their environment.
