7 Tips That Will Help Empaths and Highly Sensitive People

Have you ever met an empathic person? It can be quite the experience. Empaths are those who have the ability to read people’s energy levels. Some say that this ability is genetic, being passed from one generation to the next, so if you or a family member have experienced the ability to perceive and read the energies of others, there’s a good chance that you or a loved one are empaths.

Having the ability to analyze a person’s energy comes from being highly sensitive. You can scan their thoughts and feelings, and possibly even past, present, and future life occurrences. Having this ability doesn’t necessarily mean that you fully understand it, but you recognize that you are sensitive to other people’s energy. Correctly being able to perceive and mirror the energy of another person can be challenging, but it is a gift that allows us an added layer of perception.

These seven tips will help empaths and highly sensitive people navigate and cope with their ability, so as to not get overwhelmed.

1. Schedule alone-time for you: Being alone allows one the space needed to release emotion, energy and stress.
