And along those same lines…
for the most part Empaths are MADE, not born.
(Yes, I do believe that people being born with more intuitive and empathetic abilities is very real and possible. However, I do not think that’s the most common way that it comes to be.)

We become Empaths because we needed to as children in order to survive and to find safety. We just didn’t know that we were doing it. How could we? It’s a trauma response.
Trauma responses happen well below the threshold of Consciousness.

Learning to read people BEFORE they explode or hit or are emotionally cruel is a superpower that we are forced to develop out of necessity. So, stop acting as though “being an Empath” is some magical gift that makes you better than others.

Yes, it’s a superpower, but if you don’t address WHY and HOW you developed that power, it’s going to continue to bite you in the ass day after day, time after time.

If you were lucky enough to have been born with high sensitivities and someone nurtured that in you, then that’s absolutely wonderful. But many people need to face the darkness and pain that they were put through in order to develop the powers that they have now. Not to become angry about it, or to see themselves as victims. But to fully claim it by understanding the mechanism by which it was forged.

If you don’t, every time that same scenario appears in your life, you’re going to get sucked into it and likely give away far too much of yourself in the process. Once you can fully see what happened, you are in a position to truly help others because you Know from experience how it works.

A healed person is not a “perfect”person.

A healed person just loves and accepts what IS without judgement. A healed person has looked at all the wounds, scars and blemishes and kissed them. Not to make them go away, but to tell them that it’s ok to stay. And in doing so, they lose all their power. They become cherished and beautiful in their own right.

Perfection is an illusion, not because it’s unattainable, but because you are already perfect…despite all the things you think are wrong with you.

There is nothing wrong with you.
You are not broken.
You are not bad.
You are Human.

And Creation does not make mistakes.

Pink Moon – The Pond by Mary Oliver

You think it will never happen again.
Then, one night in April,
the tribes wake trilling.
You walk down to the shore.
Your coming stills them,
but little by little the silence lifts
until song is everywhere
and your soul rises from your bones
and strides out over the water.
It is a crazy thing to do –
for no one can live like that,
floating around in the darkness
over the gauzy water.
Left on the shore your bones
keep shouting come back!
But your soul won’t listen;
in the distance it is sparkling
like hot wires. So,
like a good friend,
you decide to follow.
You step off the shore
and plummet to your knees –
you slog forward to your thighs
and sink to your cheekbones –
and now you are caught
by the cold chains of the water –
you are vanishing while around you
the frogs continue to sing, driving
their music upward through your own throat,
not even noticing
you are someone else.
And that’s when it happens –
you see everything
through their eyes,
their joy, their necessity;
you wear their webbed fingers;
your throat swells.
And that’s when you know
you will live whether you will or not,
one way or another,
because everything is everything else,
one long muscle.
It’s no more mysterious than that.
So you relax, you don’t fight it anymore,
the darkness coming down
called water,
called spring,
called the green leaf, called
a woman’s body
as it turns into mud and leaves,
as it betas in its cage of water,
as it turns like a lonely spindle
in the moonlight, as it says
yes.
