Your sensitive nature as an empath may overwhelm you at times, especially when the energies in your environment are difficult to contain.
But, before you dwell on the disadvantages of being an empath, consider the unique superpowers you possess. You might even want to hone your empathic abilities to your advantage.
Here are 4 rare superpowers that every empath possesses:
:: Sensing people’s thoughts
Having psychic abilities is a rare gift that empaths have. While everyone can read other people’s minds by observing their body language and verbal exchanges, empaths go a step further by receiving psychic images, statements, colors, or smells. They are exposed to realities that are not available to the average person.
As an empath, you can put yourself in someone else’s shoes and experience what it’s like to be them.
You can assist others by guiding them back to the truth when you suspect they are lying, even if they believe they are doing the opposite.
You can easily learn from other people’s mistakes or successes, and you can even avoid wrong turns or arguments if you anticipate them.
Feeling everything is a gift, but only if you accept it and stop avoiding it. You can take advantage of it to your advantage.
:: Being your own emotional hero
It can be difficult to feel the emotions of others while also feeling your own. But if you know how to discern it and use it for emotional growth, you’ll have a superpower that not everyone has.
Listening to your own feelings and thoughts and acting compassionately towards yourself are examples of self-empathy. Perceiving this may help you communicate effectively with others.
Assume someone said, “This president is going to ruin the country.” When you hear this, your internal dialogue may respond, “This person has no idea how everyone is affecting the nation and the planet, and other factors are also contributing.” He’s a scumbag. However, if you are aware of how your thoughts are flowing, you will be able to honor and communicate them in a more loving manner.
You can then change your internal dialogue to be more positive. You’d probably respond, “What this person says may be alarming to me because it contradicts how I see the world, but I also don’t want to disagree with this person.”
You will most likely respond to this person emotionally: Yes, each of us is ruining the world, but we can also make it a better place by sharing positive thoughts, deeds, and actions every day. This statement may broaden the other person’s awareness while also demonstrating your alignment with your purpose. Being aware of your emotions and thought flow is a true superpower if used correctly!
:: Transmuting the negativity that you feel
Empaths are acutely aware of negative energies all around them.
Some empaths can sense negative energies right away; they may feel emotional repulsion towards someone and have no idea why.
They can also detect negative energies that linger in a room where an argument or negative conversation has previously occurred.
When you sense negative energy, you have the ability to transform it into positive energy. You can do a five-minute Tonglen meditation or bring high-energy plants and flowers to a low-energy location. You can also speak and think positively to those who are being affected by negativity.
Use humor if you can find it in the situation. Laughter is the best way to create positivity and can lift anyone’s spirits. Being aware of negative energies gives you the advantage of not being influenced by them and the opportunity to transmute them into positive.
:: Using your sensitivity in acquiring a highly coveted skill.
As an empath, you experience a variety of discomforts. Your nose revolts against certain smells, your stomach may suffer from gastrointestinal distress caused by non-organic foods, you require quieter surroundings to sleep, and you may require alone time to unload all the smells, sights, sounds, and emotions absorbed throughout the day.
Rather than focusing on these inconveniences, you can use them to your advantage.
You could train as a perfumer and start your own business using natural scents. You could start your own organic food business, or you could start offering quiet spaces like gardens, libraries, or meditation rooms that benefit not only you but also others.
You never know how grateful others will be for your gift. Everything about which you are more sensitive is something that your senses perceive better than others. Make use of it!
You can expand your empathic skills and fulfill your life’s purpose as long as you accept your sensitive nature and find ways to fully utilize it.
Empathy is a superpower in and of itself, but it also comes with other superpowers. You are the only one who can make it a blessing rather than a curse. Even better, turn it into a superpower!
