Ascend Academy: Way of the Empath pt. 1

Water makes up a large portion of the human body.  It also makes up 71% of the Earth’s surface, not to mention the clouds and vapors in the air.  Physically, it is essential for life and provides a great deal of maintenance, healing, and balance for any ecosystem.  Spiritually, it acts as an archetype for the flow of emotional energy through the astral plane and human energy system.

In the Way of the Empath, our consciousness shifts it’s attention away from the notions of separation, protection, and stability inherent in the Earth-inspired Way of the Sentinel.  Instead, we move the awareness towards the fluidity, balance, and emotion of the Water element.  The skills present in the Way of the Empath are all about flow, feeling, healing, and the direction of energy in a positive and harmonious manner.
