The difference between living a full life and one that is filled with misery, is knowing if you are an empath or a hypersensitive person. If you’ve lived your entire life up to this point with the constant psychological assault of what is everyday life for everyone then there is a chance that you are hypersensitive and you just didn’t know it. Here are some of the benefits you will derive from reading this guide: • Understanding what it means being empathic; • The different types of empaths; • The good and the bad of being an empath; • Understanding the potentials of your energy and abilities; • How to embrace your gift fully; • How to develop the empath gift; • Healing from negative energies that lead to insomnia, exhaustion, and adrenal fatigue; Empathy is one’s ability to understand what others are feeling and experiencing. Many individuals have extremely high levels of empathy and are sensitive to the emotions and feelings of those around them. Since they are susceptible to others’ emotions and energies, empaths need to shield their personal energy.

What is the difference between having empathy and being an empath? “Having empathy means our heart goes out to another person in joy or pain,” says Dr. Judith Orloff “But for empaths it goes much farther We actually feel others’ emotions, energy, and physical symptoms in our own bodies, without the usual defenses that most people have.” With The Empath’s Survival Guide, Dr. Orloff offers an invaluable resource to help sensitive people develop healthy coping mechanisms in our high-stimulus world—while fully embracing the empath’s gifts of intuition, creativity, and spiritual connection. In this practical and empowering book for empaths and their loved ones, Dr. Orloff begins with self-assessment exercises to help you understand your empathic nature, then offers potent strategies for protecting yourself from overwhelm and replenishing your vital energy For any sensitive person who’s been told to “grow a thick skin,” here is your lifelong guide for staying fully open while building resilience, exploring your gifts of deep perception, raising empathic children, and feeling welcomed and valued by a world that desperately needs what you have to offer.

Psychic power is an ability to perceive, that which is beyond the normal human senses and through extrasensory perception. Humans have five senses: sight, smell, taste, sound, and touch. Although some call psychic abilities the sixth sense, people with psychic abilities generally have over-exaggerated human senses. An empath is a person with the special gift of perceiving the emotions and feelings of other people as though they were their own without even trying. They are naturally tuned in to the energies floating around them. If an empath walks into a room and sits next to a person who's quietly mourning, the empath will pick up on the sorrow and experience it as though it were their own. An empath who lacks awareness of their gift can be deeply conflicted, as they cannot tell apart their own feelings from those of others. Humans are born with psychic senses or psychic power but because this ability is not encouraged to grow, people tend to forget about it. Those who continue to pursue this power tap into it mostly when they grow up and begin looking into their spirituality or when they have a desire to connect with a higher being. A number of people can experience their psychic abilities on a day-to-day basis. Others cannot comprehend the weird senses they get while others chose to give psychic power other names such as intuition or gut feeling. If life is a resume, then psychic abilities can be considered valuable points in it. Even so, it's not their existence that makes them important, but the fact that you can help other people by using them. It is like having a beautiful horse, one of a kind, but savage, that can't be ridden. That horse becomes truly special when you succeed in domesticating it and start using it for your purposes.
