"Do you feel it?" is probably the most accurate question to ask, when you want to know if someone is an empath. The english word empathy is derived from the Ancient Greek word ἐμπάθεια (empatheia, meaning "physical affection or passion"). An empath is generally described as a person, who feels into the other person. In this post I want to give you a picture of what everyone is capable of. An empath is no 'better' human or something like that, he/she is only more aware of what happens around him/her. We all have had the strange experience of knowing or feeling that something isn't correct. In my opinion it's the heart, which talks to us.

Here are 7 Signs to know that you are an Empath:
- You feel others feeling: This is probably the most essential attribute of an empath. You can take on the feelings of people around you. Because you're vibrating at a such high frequency, you are very sensitive to the most subtle energies. These energies can emanate from everything, especially from people and electrical devices. You see, we are in reality only energy vibrating at a different frequency. The more you are aware of this fact, the more you are aware of subtle energies around you. You only need to look into someones eyes to tell them their inner emotional state. Many people are afraid of us, because they don't want to be X-rayed. But we don't this to harm anyone, we are here to help humanity and planet earth. Because you are so susceptible to other people's energies, you often times get depressed. Most people don't know it, but they are so full of negative energies that I often times ask myself "How can they stand this pain?".
- You are an expert at body language: You love it to watch people. Literally, you can sit in the park observing the people who pass, without getting bored. This is often times very annoying for the watched, but you know you don't do this to judge anyone. You rather do this to lern something new. Since you were a child you always watched life as it passed. Even in the most boring situations, you found a way to entertain yourself. In fact you were most of the time so engaged in observing your environment, that you faded out all the boring stuff.
- Being in crowded places overwhelmes you: This is due to your high sensitivity. In a small group it's no problem for you, because there are not so much energies. But in a crowded place with more than 100 people or sometimes more than 1000 people you feel uncomfortable. This amount of different energies is too much for you and you can't help but to leave into a less crowded area. But in the rare cases you enter such huge crowds, you're trying to find a place at the end. This gives you a certain type of safety, so you can leave very easy and fast when you need to.
- You are highly intuitive: You have a deep connection to your Higher
Self. This gives you insight into the huge collection of wisdom. Most of the
time, this wisdom is used as intuition to guide you. When you trust your
intuition, it will let you see the world as it is. Often times you don't know
from where this knowing is coming from, but you have a deep inner knowing it is
true. In the hinduistic belief and many other cultures, the Third Eye is the
seat of your intuition. Probably you are not the type of person who likes to
plan. It's simple: Your intuition always makes the right decision for you.
- You can easily tell if someone is lying around you: You are a human lie detector. When you
look someone in the eyes and they lie to you, you know it. It's very hard for
people not to lie to you, because they also have the feeling of being caught.
In my experience the eye color influences the persons ability to lie. Brown
eyed people are far more secretive. They don't let anything out and so it's
more difficult to tell if they are lying. Blue eyed people, in contrast, are
very open. They are like an open book. They don't want and they can't most of
the time lie to you. So for an empath it's most of the time easier to look
through a blue eyed person than a brown eyed person. This doesn't mean
that people with brown eyes are liars, they are only more mysterious.
- You avoid negative media images: Probably many of you didn't follow the
presidential election, because you can't withstand all this negativity. It's
like that all the lies, the corruption and violence is absorbed by you. This is
sometimes very hard for you, because you need a long time to recover. You are
more likely a person who likes to read interesting books about the nature of
life and to watch uplifting YouTube videos. This positivity brings balance to
your life. It enhanches your kundalini energy, your frequency.Nowadays, we are unfortunately surrounded by all kind of drama, stress and negative energies. To bear this amount of negativity, you find yourself going inwards to find answers. I recommend you to meditate, if you are having trouble with all this different energies.
You also have to realize that the truth often times can be negative. This shouldn't freighten you, it should let you see the world as it is. In the end the truth sets you free. - People open up to you: It's like you're a counselor since you were
born. Random people are suddenly talking to you about their life and their
problems. They often times don't know why they are doing this, but most say
it's because they feel comfortable around you. Though you are may be wondering
too, you are open and ready to help. In fact you love it to hear the stories of
people. It gives you a warm and welcoming feeling. You are emanating love and light outwards and the people feel this. They can't help, but open up to you. They have no control about it. And they don't regret it. You always have an answer for them.
We are in a time, where we don't know who we are. There is so much happening right now on the planet and in ourselves, that it leaves a lot of questions unanswered. It's time to look for the answers not in the outer world, but in our inner world. Why is the world as it is? For sure, we are creating our reality as a collective, but sometimes this answer doesn't fit. It keeps us confused and clueless. We should release the need of knowing everything and accept the unknown. Only through the unknown we will learn something new.
