The Law of Attraction and Empaths

An empath is a person who feels other people’s energy, emotions and thoughts very strongly. Empaths often have difficulty separating their own energy from other people’s energy. This sensitivity to energy can be both advantageous and disadvantageous to the empath.

For instance, empaths can develop strong relationships with people, learn from another person’s experiences as if they had been there, and can be highly effective in careers with others because they have a strong intuition about what others need.

On the other hand, if a person spends so much time focusing on another person’s energy, they can have very little sense of who they are. Without a good sense of this “home base” to return to, they can feel as though they are bounced around between other people’s emotions and intents.

Many empaths developed or honed a heightened sense of others energy because they grew up in difficult situations and felt it necessary to be aware of how others were feeling to try to predict what they might do. Sometimes empaths do not know how to connect with their own source and find power within themselves.

Learning to make your connection with yourself a priority is an act of power, of self-love, and of righting an imbalance that may have existed for a long time.

This journey is well worth the effort. The purpose is not to lose the skill of heightened sensitivity to energy, but to rather learn to focus on others only when it is beneficial, rather than as a default setting.

There are some things you can focus on to help yourself move out of the cycle of tuning yourself to others.

1 – Connect with your Inner Self. Meditation is a valuable tool to help you do this.

2 – Understand who you are and your value in the world. Show yourself how much you matter by working with the law of attraction. The practice of asking for and allowing yourself to receive from Source over and over, can help you prove your self-worth to yourself.

3 – Learn how to stay connected to yourself around other people. Learning to listen to yourself and following through with the insights you receive is the key to becoming a skilled and effective empath.
