Empaths and Addiction
Taken from my upcoming ebook, Coping Strategies for Empaths.
A wide variety of vibrations are projected through the wide variety of creative outlets through which empaths release their emotions into the world. The emotion that the empath projects through their creative works, words, and, ultimately their vibration level, either helps to raise the total consciousness of our world, or keep it lower. There are those who are at all levels and stages within their awareness of their abilities as an empath. This “imbalance” actually helps to maintain balance in the vibration levels of our planet. All things and people are connected, therefore, as the higher vibrations rise, so do the lower vibrations rise.
If you are an empath, there is no doubt, that you are ultimately here for light work in some form. There are huge numbers of empaths on our planet during these times. We have literally come together as a team to bring the vibration levels of our planet to a higher state of consciousness.
Some empaths may have come into this lifetime, highly aware, and may have known from early ages the power of their emotion. Others may have “awakened” to what it all means at many different stages of life.
Typically the empath first comes into awareness, not by realizing the power of their own emotion through their own projection of it, but by realizing they are feeling the emotion of others around them. In cases where the gift of empathy is accompanied by the gift of mediumship, the empath may have realized they could feel the emotion of those who are no longer living, even before they may have realized they were also absorbing emotion from the living around them.
Many, though, even with the gift of empathy and mediumship combined, may still have taken a while to realize they were literally feeling the emotions of others. In this time of “sleeping” the risk for addictions for the empath is high. The risk is also high among those who are aware of this part of the gift of empathy, but see it as a curse with no escape, as they empath may look for ways to make it go away.
We have seen many, many empaths on our world stages, create, and reach massive audiences with whatever vibration they were projecting through their release of the emotion contained within them, and we have also watched many drug their way straight out of this world before our eyes. Beautiful, spirited, entertainers, who turned to drugs during some part of their path, and many, even though they may have been later more aware, found themselves still struggling with the addiction long after.
The absolute clearest I can be on this issue is, you can’t make it go away. You have it because you are to learn to work with it, and master the flow of your energy to join with others to help raise the consciousness of our world. As we wake up, we help others wake up.
There are many different coping strategies throughout your early levels of learning about your gift, and how to effectively cope with it, and do what you have ultimately come here to do with it. It is not a curse. It is, however, a great responsibility to have the gift of empathy, and very important that empaths learn to cope with and grow with the gift in a positive and healthy manner.
The emotion the empath absorbs must be released. The gift of empathy is always combined with a creative gift as well, as a means to cope with, and release emotions, but more importantly, with the empath who is aware, to help raise the vibration levels by reaching an audience with any and all of those creative gifts, and projecting positive emotion.
Here are a few pointers for keeping addiction at bay if you are an empath:
Remember this: Positive is the key to the happy empath. The happy empath projects positive emotion.
It is absolutely essential to keep in a positive environment, keep your mind positive, and deal with your emotion at the root level thereby turning it into a lesson rather than being reactive.
Let yourself be open and feel, and be aware of the reasons within you behind the feelings. This will lesson their power over you.
Be aware of when your emotion changes with your environment, and is not stemming from within you. Learn to follow the source of emotion through observation.
Meditate daily.
Practice deep breathing.
Stay away from negative people.
Find something to be grateful for in everything, everywhere.
Know what calms you and partake in it when you start to feel stressed or anxious.
Spend time in nature and often.
Use your creative outlets and flow from your passions. Do what you love.
And finally, realize that the emotion that is your own, within you, is a beautiful gift given to you as a guiding point to learn and grow from. Rather than resist it, be open to it and let it flow through you. What we resist, strengthens, so if you are resisting negative emotion, then it is only bringing more negative to you. Examine it, and get to the root source within you about why you feel the emotion, and work through it from there. Through this learning and growth process, the cause for the emotion is healed rather than given strength to continue to reoccur.
Meanings of Different Psychic Terms
There are many different terms used out there in the marketing world for many different kinds of gifts. I am often asked about the various terms and their associations with gifts.
Psychics come in many various forms according to which gifts are strongest, and which ones they utilize in doing readings, psychic investigations, profiling, and the many other avenues of light work pursued by those with psychic gifts.
I will do my best to clarify some of the terms used today and what gifts they are associated with.
When you see the term “psychic” and “medium” put together, as in someone who simply states they are a psychic medium, this basically means that the person can both see past and/or future events through the use of one or multiple gifts, and they can also communicate through some form with the spirit world.
In the term “psychic medium” alone, there are still a great many variables. For instance, one psychic medium may be clairvoyant, empathic, and be able to see and feel ghosts. Another psychic medium may be clairaudient, and clairvoyant, and can both see and hear those who have crossed over as well as ghosts. Still another may be a remote viewer and a spirit medium, meaning he or she is able to “transport” themselves mentally to another time and experience it as if they were there, and that person is also able to communicate with those who have crossed to the other side, as well as those who may be ghosts.
Clairvoyant means clear seeing. A person who is clairvoyant may be able to see past and future events in their mind’s eye, or through dreams. They may also be able to see others from the other side when coupled with medium abilities. Someone who is clairvoyant may also see frames of information as if viewing a movie in fast forward.
Clairaudient means clear hearing. A person who is clairaudient may be able to hear past and future events or sounds related to a situation. They may also be able to hear others from the other side when coupled with medium abilities.
A Medium is someone who can communicate in some form with those who have crossed to the other side, those who may be stuck here as ghosts, or both. A Channel Medium is someone who can channel long spells of communication with spirits on the other side, or literally be a “channel” for someone from the other side.
Someone who is an empath, or empathic, literally feels the emotions of others around them or those they focus in on. They may also be able to feel physical pain of others. Empaths are able to transmit energy as well as receive it, and are the creators of our world. Because of their ability to literally “feel” others, they are found as writers, artists, musicians, counselors, psychologists, life coaches, medical intuitives, as well as other creative and healing arts. Empathic ability is always coupled with creative ability to give the empath a natural way to cope, and ground themselves.
A remote viewer is someone who can put themselves mentally in another place and time. They are able to experience the event as if they were present with all use of physical senses. Many remote viewers are found profiling for this reason.
Psychics and Psychic Mediums can have various combinations of many gifts as well as many different career paths in areas where they feel most guided to help others, or areas where others are guided to them. Different paths depend on the person’s life themes, personality, combination of gifts, and areas of interest.
Why Am I Seeing 4:44 on the Clocks?
Q. Hi Beth,
What do you make of this:
4:44 Coincidence
Seeing 4:44 on clocks all week
My Tumbleweed Eternity song is 4:44 min long
Seeing 3:33; 2:22 5:55 on my iphone almost every night,
(I am suddenly awakened and see these times on my iphone)
777 on highway billboard while telling the stories about My 4:44 coincidences.
This happens several times a day, when I check the time. -Jeff
A. Hi, Jeff! Thank you so much for your question! I’m honored to be able to answer it for you!
First of all, these are not coincidences. This is special communication from spirit, a “wake-up” call, if you will. Numbers have specific meanings, and when we pay attention we are guided by them through spirit.
There are a great many people across the world experiencing this phenomenon, which eventually leads to seeing 11:11, 1:11, 9:11, and virtually everything with 11 in it everywhere you go and within everything you do! Most, when they get to 11:11, say it isn’t associated with wanting to know time, but just a pull towards the display. (including myself)
What does it all mean? There is a great wealth of information from others who are experiencing it, sharing their answers to try to help others. You can google 11:11 and read for days!
Some common factors about 11:11ers:
A lifelong feeling of not ever being alone.
Had “imaginary” friends or saw people others did not as a child, ie ghosts, spirits, guides, etc.
A feeling of “landing” in the wrong place, not belonging with family, surroundings, etc.
Negative situations present in childhood that built strength and character.
Many have had brushes with death, ie accidents, fatal illnesses they survived, etc.
Highly creative within the arts or sciences. Other people who are sharing this phenomenon with you are artists, scientists, writers, psychics, mediums, musicians, broadcasters, counselors, psychologists, healers, and the list goes on and on, but all are highly creative, and have always been “in service” to others in one way or another.
A vivid “inner” life
Being empathic, ie, being able to literally feel others’ feelings, whether being aware of it or not. (and also projecting emotion)
These, of course, are only a few….
Here are the answers that have been given to me about this phenomenon by my own guides, and experiences:
When I’ve asked, “What does this mean?” I am told, “You are awakening.”
When I’ve followed with, “To, what?!” I am told, “Consciousness.”
When I asked, “Is there something I should do?” I have been told, “Help raise vibrations.” “Create.” “Write.” “Lift.” “Love.”
The best I can say to you is, pay attention to what is happening right before this happens to you. What were you thinking, doing, etc.? This is a message in itself, and guidance.
Ask for Guidance and it will be given. Meditate. Create. Love.
Where Is a Good Place to Find Help For Empaths?
Q. From a twitter friend: I’m wondering if you’d have any idea of the best place for me to find info. I’m an empath but just recently realized so. Any ideas??
A. There is a great wealth of information out there across the internet that other empaths put out in efforts to help others like yourself. Connecting with others can be a wonderful help, as we often may feel alone with this extraordinary ability.
The best place to learn, truly, though, is within yourself. To learn to better “identify” where feelings belong, spend time meditating daily, ask for help from God, your guide, and your angels. They will guide you.
Things that are beneficial (almost crucial) to your well being as an empath, are:
1. Surround yourself with as many positive and uplifting people as you possibly can.
2. Avoid those who are chronically negative.
3. Find a creative outlet to release all the energies you “absorb” throughout the
day, and USE IT EVERYDAY. (art, writing, poetry, anything creative, as empaths
always also have a creative gift in order to do so.)
4. Practice observing the emotion as it is felt, and identifying where it is coming
from. The more you do this, the easier it gets. This helps to “detach” yourself
from the emotions that do not belong to you.
5. Be very aware of your ability to project emotion to others. We not only absorb,
we also project. Use this ability to uplift others around you. This, in turn,
allows you to “absorb” more positive energy.
When we take in emotion from others that we do not release, we can literally make ourselves physically ill. Both grounding yourself and releasing are very important for your well being!
Am I Doing the Right Things?
Q. It’s so odd, I feel everything from almost everyone else and can always help them out but when it comes to myself, I never know what I’m doing. When I sit down and write it’s like a free flow of positive ideas based on difficult circumstances just flow out of me and I’m not really sure where it comes from, yet I know the advice is right. I wish that I knew how to listen to myself and learn how to not always feel so worried when I feel shifts in others.
I’ve recently met someone new whom I’ve grown attached to and it’s so odd because one day he runs hot, the next day he runs cold. I worry that perhaps it’s not real, or perhaps it’s his own fear that pushes him into a back corner, or perhaps that I’ve ruined something by getting worried over little things. I just don’t know where I’m going and I don’t know if I’m doing the right things but when we talk and such, everything just feels perfect.
A. You are an empath, a spirit medium, a channel, and have the ability to automatic write. All of these natural gifts are waiting to be completely realized to their highest potential.
As is the case with most people who have metaphysical gifts, and are able to help others with those gifts, our own lives can often be described as chaotic at best. We tend to over analyze anything that comes to us about ourselves, as well as block information at times. And of course, there are some pieces of information we just don’t have access to about ourselves! How would we grow if we could see our own lives as clearly as we can for others?
Though empathic people can literally feel others’ emotions around us, that doesn’t exactly tell us why those people are feeling the way they are. We especially tend to over analyze where emotion is concerned in those we love, and we want to feel “safe” with our own emotions. One of the biggest points of over analyzing in these instances, is we tend to always think those emotions of our loved ones are geared toward us, when most of the time, they are not. We end up waiting for what seems like an eternity for them to just come out and tell us why they are feeling the way they are so we can stop analyzing the whole situation to death!
In answer to your relationship question, it is fear you are feeling from him, but is not necessarily a bad thing. The fear is there because he does feel the same connection with you. The important thing to note is, the fear has not driven him away. He is working through it. Be patient.
What Can I Do to Grow As An Empath?
Q. What, as an empath, can I do to grow?
http://dailyspiritonline.com
A. Lovely question. Thank you so much for asking. Your question has sparked a future post for another blog as well.
I’m taking your question to mean, what can you personally do to grow as an empath, but have given some general information as well. God Bless.
For all who are empathic, growing as an empath requires a great deal of inward time. You must get comfortable with the constant flow of feelings, learn to detach from them, and have a great way to cope with the constant flow of emotions that continually run through your spirit.
Being an empath, is a beautiful gift. Those who have it are to use it in service of others. Empathic abilities are always a part of a total package of multiple gifts.
Often being an empath is coupled with writing talents, musical talents, or art talents, and coupled with life themes such as Rescue, Humanitarian, Experience, as well as other types that are in service to others. Empaths always have other creative talents in addition to usually more than one metaphysical gift. Their creative talents are a natural way to cope with their constant emotional states.
Empaths, such as yourself, who are here with great writing talents, are here to teach, guide, bring together, and help raise the vibration levels. You have the ability to reach a mass audience.
Those, who are spiritual, usually find their calling within the specturm of light work, teaching and guiding through their creative talents, and other gifts.
Not only do empaths constantly “feel” others and their emotions, they also have the ability to project (and this is often unrealized, even if they do realize they are “feeling” others).
It is important to surround yourself with positive vibrations and support, and always be conscious of your own vibration levels. Negative environments can feel like mortal chaos to empaths, and can throw us completely out of balance if we let them, as well as others around us. Try to avoid them.
Positive thoughts, positive environments, daily meditation, and a creative outlet, as well as asking for help from God, your guides and your angels, will all help you grow as an empath.
We have been given the ability to feel others’ emotions in order to understand, grow, and help others grow.
