3 Powerful Energy-Protecting Strategies for
EMPATHS & HEALERS
BY LISA CAMPION
A
re you a sensitive empathic type of
person? If so, congratulations! Being an
empath is an amazing gift. Being able to
feel what others are feeling emotionally and
physically are the perfect tools for a healer.
And yet until we learn to protect our energy,
it can feel like a heavy burden.
As empaths we always want to help other
people, we have the life purpose do so. And
yet we need to keep our own energy tanks
full in order to be truly of service to other
people.
I have a friend who is going through a very
rough patch in her life. My tendency would be
to jump in with both feet, and pull out all the
stops to try and help her. And I already have
a full plate with my own clients, students and
family situations. I could feel the deep pull
in me to help her, and as an empath, I could
deeply feel her pain and suffering.
My heart hurt for her and yet I know that
I need to keep my balance and choose to
give from a full tank.
