Thank you so much for signing up for my email list at Celestial by Crystal. It means the world to me to have my community supporting me on my path towards success. As a thank you, I have prepared this video for you, as there seems to be a trend in everyone that has signed up for my email list so far… that you are all empaths! Yes, even you! This is often represented in your energy system as a huge heart chakra. Normal heart chakras are about four to five inches in diameter, but Empaths’ are often triple in size and even bigger.
What is an empath? Well, in the dictionary it states that an empath is “a person with the paranormal ability to apprehend the mental or emotional state of another individual” but there is nothing paranormal about it. My intuition says about 15% of the human population are empaths. It just seems abnormal because it is not something we learn about in school and we no longer live in tribes with elders teaching us about our intuition. It is normal for some people to walk into a room and feel or sense things about other people. But if you are untrained as an empath it can be extremely overwhelming to walk into a social situation and it can eventually lead to anxiety, panic attacks, fear, and even depression. But we can fix that! All we need is to gain a few pieces of awareness.
So you are an empath with a big heart. Empaths often give away all of their energy and it causes their heart chakras to become depleted. It is our job to charge our energy system first before we help others. If we give all of our energy away, without remembering to recharge our batteries, it is draining to us, and we will not be able to help more people. So the first bit of advice I can offer empaths, is that it is important to keep our energy systems fully charged at all times. If we keep our energy system full or overflowing, then we can give to others without draining ourselves.
The visualization I like to use to help with this is imagining that our heart chakras are like huge green buckets. And our root chakras and crown chakras are like hoses filling those buckets. Once our buckets are full, then the water can overflow down our arms and out our hands, and then we get to direct where the extra water goes. I am not taking water from my bucket and giving to others, I am only giving them the excess, the overflow. If we want to help more or give more energy to others, we can upgrade our hoses to larger hoses so that there is more overflow. If we want to help the whole world, then we are going to have to visualize the world’s largest fire hoses that are rushing so much water into our buckets that we have enough water to share with everyone!
Second, we need to learn who we are. We can discover who we are individually before we allow others’ emotions, feelings, thoughts, sensations enter our bodies. We need to learn ourselves very well and have a baseline for our own bodies, emotions, and energy systems etc, so that when others influence us we can learn that what we are experiencing is not us, but maybe a reflection of someone else within us.
Your homework is to visualize that everyone else's stuff is not your stuff. Maybe it melts off of you in the shower and washes down the drain. Maybe sunlight dissolves it or transforms it into beautiful light energy. It doesn't help anyone else out if you carry this burden for them. Dust off your shoulders, you are no longer carrying their weight. You are you, and no one else. You can remind yourself of this by saying “I am ME” or simply “I am”. Once you clear yourself out, then when something enters your energy field you will have a better understanding that what you are feeling is not you. Your knee hurts because someone limped by you on the sidewalk. Or you have a headache because of your neighbor three doors down. And now you can recognize that that’s not you!
Third, it is important to ONLY help people when they ask for our help. It is not beneficial if we give all of our energy away to people who do not want and will not use it. We can save our energy for growing, learning, healing, changing, and evolving so that we are more adept at helping others when they DO ask for it. And because our batteries are full we will be ready!
Ok, to recap. One, keep your energy system charged. Two, Learn who you are individually. Three, only help others when they ask. These three things will help you keep your heart open and full, so that you can have more compassion for yourself and others. They will help you keep your light shining bright, and you will feel amazing more often, just like a special unicorn! Because you are magical and unique, just like a unicorn!
