The Life Purpose of Empaths
Life as an empath can be a beautiful and deeply profound experience.
Not only do you feel all of your feelings very deeply but you also have the ability to feel other people’s emotions. You’re hyper-sensitive to the world around you and notice subtle changes in your environment and the energy.
One of my favorite things about being an empath is being able to sense the energetic change of the seasons before they actually change throughout the year. When you’re an empath, you can pick up on things before they happen because you’re very tuned into the energy around you and in the universe. You notice things that other people might not notice.
Being an empath can also be very trying at times, especially if you’re not aware that you’re an empath or just haven’t worked on your empathic skills.
Whenever anything happens in an empaths life whether good or bad, we experience the feelings associated with it on an incredibly deep level. A loss of any kind could send us into a downward spiral where we get so stuck in our feelings that we think things will never be the same again. On the same token, when we experience something beautiful and amazing, we feel that equally as deep. So much so that it can bring tears to our eyes for the sheer happiness it brings.
