What is Empathy?
Here are 5 points
about empaths that answer the question - Empathy - what is
it?
1. Empathy is the
ability to recognize, understand and read the emotion
of another person. A simple way of describing this would
be to say you put yourself in anothers' shoes. You are literally
doing this and in turn it could be said that you are resonating
with the other person. Some people can do this voluntarily
and others do it accidentally. The process involves the ability
to read in others, the energy and subtle differences
in frequency associated with the range of human thought and
emotion. Most people don't understand how this process works
but when it comes to helping others it's enough to just recognise
you have a gift and that you are sensitive to others.
2. Empaths often have
telepathic ability which means that your ability to 'read'
is enhanced. Some empaths have a deep sense of 'knowing'
which further enhances their ability to read another person.
This is very useful because people are complex and often
display a persona over many layers of thought and emotion.
The ability to see under the surface and sense someone's
true feelings has many useful applications when it comes
to helping others. I use this myself in the process of 'life
coaching.'
3. As the word
empathy suggests, empaths have the ability to act in empathy.
This helps others because you can act with compassion and
understanding enabling the other person to feel they are
not isolated or alone in what they are experiencing.
4. If you could
measure the strength of an empaths ability you would a
wide range of difference in ability. This is because of
the 'human' factor. We all have varying degrees of understanding,awareness,judgement,emotion,intelligence
and compassion. However everyone has empathic ability
to a certain extent. For a variety of reasons people
ignore or are unawre of this ability.
5. Many empaths have an interest in people
and become proficient with reading body language
and listening for verbal cues that betray what someone really
means during the process of communication. Whislt these skilss
are not empathic they do enhance the empaths ability to help
someone.
Personally I have found
that many empaths have trouble seperating the emotions of
others with the emotions that are generated in themselves
when they read others. It's an easy mistake to make
because emotions are
intense and cloud your vision. They fall into this trap because
they don't have the ability to work with emotion themselves.(see
