𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗪𝗮𝘆𝘀
I realized at one point that I had a gift that has significant challenges to it… and no one around me knew how to teach me to use it in rewarding ways.
Empathy.
Being an empath has profound rewards – if and only if we either are raised in a natural environment where empathy thrives (and who amongst us had THAT growing up?!?) or… we develop the skills and wisdom later in life.
On today’s morning mile, I pondered with my spirit buddy what a core skill is for an empath. Here’s a synopsis of what we explored:
Empath = emotional path.
Emotion = energy in motion
Empaths are gifted at having PATHWAYS for Energy in Motion.
Someone has big feelings? (Energy in them in motion)… we’ll have pathways to us and through us for that energy.
The skill is to develop energy skill and conscious pathways.
If someone is a people pleaser without energy skill, any “ask” can end up running rough trod over the empath. We can even feel “stepped on” like a “door mat” – right?
Empathways (“The Empath Ways”) offers us insight that we offer pathways for energy for those we are connected to. Where is the energy to flow and go?
Is it something for us to consume and transform (like we do with food and water)?
Or is it, at least at times, a pathway for the energy towards recalibration, spiritual connection, deeper wisdom, and re-established balance?
A challenge I am rising into relates towards being clearer about the energy pathways I’m offering when others are distressed.
There IS a pathway in me from frustration and disappointment to acceptance and adapting. (And yeah, also one from frustration to yelling-in-frustration. Empaths have many paths in them.)
Choosing feels… right to me. It rises to the challenge of the energies present. How shall we move with it, not in coerced fashion but in invitation.
Going onwards from where I am now, I am exploring “less mirroring, more embodying other empath-ways.” Will be interesting!
