Being an empath is when you are influenced by other people's energies and have an innate ability to intuitively feel and perceive others. Your life is unconsciously influenced by the desires, thoughts, moods, and even pain of others. Being an empath is much more than being highly sensitive and is not just limited to emotions or physical pain. Empaths can also perceive the motivations and intentions of the people around them. Being an empath, you are always open, so to speak, to elaborate the feelings and energy of other people. This means that you really feel and, in many cases, assume the emotions of others, sometimes unconsciously.

Empathic fatigue is not something a doctor will diagnose or cure. It is an energetic imbalance and must be corrected by spiritual means. We are entering a moment in which the medical world will no longer be able to separate the body from the mind and soul.

Empathy is what makes other people important to us and reminds us to recognize the people around us as we understand and share their feelings.

Empaths are loving, caring and kind people who want to help others. They often volunteer and can serve others through emotionally demanding careers such as child care donors, medical professionals, health workers, midwives and the like. Most empaths came with a mission to treat people, animals, plants and the planet. As healers, many have taken on so much external energy that they spend most of their time trying to release unwanted energy and recover from the last "doorway" episode.

Emotions like fear, anger and frustration are energies. Like a virus, you can potentially "catch" them from people without realizing it. Empathic people can be psychic sponges that absorb energy wherever they go.
