  • Are You An Energy Transmuter? Signs You Absorb and Transform Energy

    Are You An Energy Transmuter? Signs You Absorb and Transform Energy

    Learning to work with our energy is one of the most important things we can do in this lifetime.

    For those of us who are highly sensitive, creative or empathic there are a lot of ways we’ll use our energy to benefit others but at our own detriment.

    Understanding how to set clear boundaries and intentions is a must. So that we can help others while remaining energized and full ourselves.

    In a recent 1-1 session I was asked how I would define an ‘energy transmuter’ as it had come up. I wanted to expand on that here.

  • Can Empaths Lose Their Sensitivity?

    Can Empaths Lose Their Sensitivity?

    empath sensitivity

    I’ve talked about empaths a lot on this blog, and I realize that one assumption people might have is that empaths are empathetic all of the time. 

    I think the label can sometimes get in the way of the experience or way of being that we are trying to portray with this word.

    I think it’s important when we talk about empaths to know that we’re talking about a specific type of experience, a specific path one takes through their sensitivity. This is to better understand ourselves or make sense of our experiences, but these labels can become unhelpful. 

    Going back to the first point, it’s not the case that empaths are empathetic all of the time. When we use the term empath it is to describe someone who can/does take on other people’s emotions as if they were their own – like a sponge.

    There can be a higher level of sensitivity present naturally, but this sensitivity is also influenced and amplified by our environments. 

    It’s very possible for empaths to lose their sensitivity or even become cold, because empaths just like everyone else, go through ups and downs. Empath is not a stagnant state, and many people outgrow or decide to drop that label eventually.

  • Your Sensitivity Is a Gift

    Your Sensitivity Is a Gift

    Your Sensitivity Is a Gift

    Being a highly sensitive person can often feel like a curse. I dealt with a lot of issues surrounding my heightened sensitivity in childhood and teenage years, it was only in adulthood when I began working with my sensitivity that I realize what a gift it was.

    For highly sensitive people the world can feel like a cold and lonely place, when we see people who can navigate life without the same compassion, empathy and kindness it makes being sensitive seem useless.

    However it is not our sensitivity that is the problem, it’s that we haven’t been given the correct tools to manage and work with it. Instead we are given two binary options: be emotionally reactive all the time, or be hardhearted.

    The truth is, we can find a healthy balance in between these two extremes and find strength within our sensitivity. That is what I want to talk about today. Let’s get into it!

    As you get to grips with your sensitivity and learn how to balance self-care with helping others, your specific skill set can begin to blossom.

    The term empath is simply a starting point as you get comfortable with working with energy, but as time goes on you can find you drift from the label. ⠀

  • How to Protect Your Energy as an Empath From Negative People

    How to Protect Your Energy as an Empath From Negative People

    Protect Your Energy as an Empath

    The question I get asked most is how to protect your energy as an empath. People want to know how to stop taking on the emotions of others, feeling tired in social situations and feeling so triggered by other people’s energy.

    The empathic ability is one that is incredibly underappreciated in society, to the extent that many people who have been reading energy all their lives don’t even know that’s what they’re doing!

    We do not give people the tools they need to navigate their emotions effectively and teach them how to balance sensitivity with strength and stability. Too often we view it as a binary option: you’re either strong all of the time or overly emotional.

    In this post I want to go over a few of the ways in which empaths can protect their energy and the techniques I use daily to keep my aura clean and strong. It’s all about having the right tools and techniques ready at your disposal.
