Empath in love with another possible empath

“Hi I am at loss. Have u ever been in a sucessful love relationship with another empath? How do I still keep my privacy & have my way of hiding some of my feelings, untill I feel a little more confident in us  before revealing too much about myself- prematurely…”

Hi!

I don’t know about you, but for years I felt I had to hide the fact that I am an Empath. The few people I told kinda freaked out and I didn’t really want to renew the experience…

But as *I* felt more comfortable with who I am, I realized that I didn’t have to *tell* anyone. Some people started telling me about their experience of feeling what other people feel…and by then they were totally open to hearing about this and everything went really well!

That made me wonder: How many times a day do we meet wandering Empaths who simply don’t know that we’re in the same boat? And if they knew, would they come talk to us? Would we be able to tell them about our Empath community? I know at least 5 people in my immediate circle of friends who are Empaths. We are NOT that rare!

So where are we and how can we connect to one another?

I created our gift shop so that you can discreetly proclaim your belonging to our community without causing any mayhem. Those who don’t want to know will ignore it, while those who are seeking will notice it right away! Just get a coffee mug or a tote bag that mentions you’re an Empath and let’s see what happens!

And don’t worry, if that still scares you, it’s ok too. Take all the time you need to feel comfortable with yourself first, then you can join us in spreading the word. One thing at a time

For those who have been around, you know that I tried this before and it didn’t work. But that won’t stop me from trying again. Because there are Empaths out there who don’t know about the Empath Survival Program and they’re suffering needlessly. I feel the least I can do is being stubborn about putting the word out there so that anyone who is looking for help can find us easily.

Here’s the link to our gift store: http://www.eliselebeau.com/empathStore

in love and thanks,
Elise

From The Blessing Way Blog

“It has been said that it is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness. Every time you remind yourself that you are, indeed, blessed — even in those times when you do not see or feel the blessings — you are figuratively lighting a candle in a darkened world.”

“Shortly after creating May You Be Blessed in early 2006, I sent a link to ten personal friends in my address book asking them to let me know what they thought and, if they liked it, to pass it on to others. Within a week, I had received emails from over 1,000 people wanting me to know how touched they had been by the movie.

One man wrote to say that he had stopped believing in God after 9/11, but was able to feel God’s presence in his life once more after watching May You Be Blessed.

A woman wrote that the movie had helped her keep her perspective as she and her husband filed for bankruptcy, and had even enabled them to develop a brighter outlook for the future. And another man wrote that he had found that watching the movie helped him deal with chronic pain better than anything else he had tried.

Then a little over a year after the movie was intially sent out, I received a message from a woman who had received the link on the same day she was diagnosed with cancer. She said it wasn’t until days later before she even got around to opening it, but as she sat reading each line while the soothing music washed over and the beautiful photographs reminded her that even in the darkest moments, light is still present, she began to feel a deepening sense of peace. “Every day after that I would watch May You Be Blessed,” she wrote. “I watched it while I was receiving radiation and then when I went through chemo. Even when I didn’t think I could, I found a way and just kept watching it. And every time, it gave me the peace and strength I needed to keep going.”

And one morning shortly after the movie was first released, a husband took time to watch it before leaving for work. He immediately sent the link to his wife’s email and then left for the day. Before he could arrive at his destination, however, his car was struck by a drunk driver and he was killed instantly. It wasn’t until the funeral was over and friends and family had returned to their own lives that his wife sat down at her  computer to check her email. There was her husband’s message waiting for her. Considering it a final message of love from her husband, May You Be Blessed helped her to cope in the days that followed.

The reason I have chosen to share these stories with you is because I don’t think we ever truly know the impact our most simple efforts may have on others. It takes no more than a moment or two to share the movie with others, but as these accounts attest, those few moments could make a difference in someone’s life.”

- Kate Nowak, author of the May You Be Blessed movie

As Empaths, we sometimes feel that our deepest desire and efforts to help others go unrecognized or unappreciated. When I watch this movie, it reminds me that everything we do matters, even if we don’t know it or feel it at the time…

Empaths can easily be swayed by the feelings of others.  It’s pretty much an occupational hazard when you can feel what other people feel.  Even if you know how to manage your Empath skills, there are times when you will be affected by the people around you…This is especially true in times of need, where you are more susceptible to soak up someone else’s feelings unconsciously.

This raises an important issue for Empaths: who do you chose to spend time with when you feel unhappy?

For example, if you are having problems at work, choosing to talk about it with someone who is ALSO unhappy is more likely to make your situation even worse because you’ll be adding their unhappy feelings to your unhappy feelings!  What a snowball effect…Pretty soon you’ll feel like a pressure cooker ready to explode!

If instead you chose to have lunch with someone who IS happy at work, you’re “pulling yourself up” by soaking in their feelings of contentment.  As Empaths, you don’t even have to *talk* to them, since you can feel their emotions directly.  Just being in their presence and letting them surround you with positive emotions will have an uplifting effect on you.

Likewise, when *you*  feel strong, you can chose to uplift others by broadcasting your feelings of happiness by being around them!  Remember that everyone has the biological equipment necessary to do read other people’s emotions. Empaths just happen to be more sensitive to emotions and hopefully, able to read others more consciously.

This is also a major reason why Empaths spend a lot of time by themselves.  They usually don’t like crowd or parties.  They usually prefer one on one conversations where it’s a lot easier to keep track on who’s feeling what.  Unfortunately, so many Empaths think they do this because something is wrong with them.  That they *should* be out there in big groups of people.  That they have “issues” and cannot lead a normal life.  That is NOT TRUE!

Spending time by yourself when you feel vulnerable is a GREAT IDEA!  It makes things so much simpler, allowing you to really focus on how *you* feel instead of having to sort out what’s yours and what’s theirs.  It’s oftentimes the smartest thing you can do.

So please, as a personal favor to me, don’t beat up on yourself because you spend a lot of time alone.  That doesn’t mean you’re broken.  That doesn’t mean you can’t make friends.  It means you’re smart enough to know what you need.  And if that gets a little lonely along the way, drop us a line at the Empath Community and we’ll be delighted to soak you up in love and support

in love,

Energy is like the air around us: it’s everywhere and we all consume it.  In fact, the human body is fully equipped with everything it needs to feel and interpret energy.

And as we feel the energy of a person, of a room, of an object that we want to buy, energy ultimately affects our choices in life.
But for most people, the influence of energy in their decisions making process is completely unconscious…

You’ve probably experienced this in your life.  For example:

• You instinctively love someone at first sight
• You feel uncomfortable as soon as you enter a house
• You buy a great jacket but you never wear it

These reactions are not based on rational facts, although most people will come up with some logical reason why they are feeling or acting.  These made up reasons might even make sense.  But as good as they may be, rationalizations are not as good as the simple truth: we feel energy and we react to it accordingly.

Most people are scared of acknowledging that their decision might not be 100% rational.  They are reluctant to admit that some portion of their reaction might be based on something so completely intangible as energy.  So they block it off, reject it or suppress it…

So what do you do when you get a feelings that doesn’t necessarily make logical sense? Do you validate it as a worthy piece of information?  Or do you brush it off as being “just your imagination”.  Either way, the energy of everything around you IS affecting you.  And it’s up to you to embrace it and allow it to guide you, or to block it and start making up complicated reasons to explains your actions.

Our minds naturally seek paths of least resistance where we are surrounded by people, places and objects that are in alignment with our own energy.   You can make this process easier or harder.  It’s your choice to dig your heel into the ground and “tough it out” or branch out and  follow the call of better-feeling energy.

Our ability to feel energy is a skill that provides important information to make better decisions.  It’s up to you to use it!
