I want to share my experiences as a (Psychic Empath healer) so you know you are not alone. Never knew what it was called, but always felt I was different. So no, sorry to disappoint anyone that though I was weird or perhaps too sensitive. I was probably feeling all of your emotions. As an emotional empath I feel the emotions of people around me. This could be a great feeling or it can be so sad that I might feel heart broken. When I was about nine years old, my dad, as a catholic man, would take the whole family to mass. I hated walking inside the church and never understood why until last year. Of course, I felt bad because I was feeling everyone's true emotions, not the sugar coated ones they were displaying on the outside. Boy those days were tough and not to mention: How do you tell your dad you feel bad in a place he felt at peace? Then I began to notice that I talked to myself. I would carry a conversation by asking and answering my own questions. I started wondering what was happening to me. OMG. What should I do? I thought I was going crazy and had to keep this secret from everyone. Then, by 11 or 12, we moved from our apartment to an older house that was supposed to be better for us. You know, more space. It was a small house but it had a huge front and backyard. My parents had 2 dogs: a beautiful German Shepard and a cocker spaniel. There were a happy few months and then I started hearing footsteps walking towards me. I would close my eyes and see faces around me. I was scared to death and I would wake up my parents with my frightened screams almost every night. Soon we discovered that the previous honors used to practice black magic and this is what I was feeling. You see the spirits come to you when you have a gift, I just didn’t know what it was. A year later we moved again to a newer house that was peaceful and full of love, yet strange things still occurred. Unexplained lights turning on and off, but not all the time. I always felt those were affirmations that either I was on the right path or that something was off. My sometimes strange events continued throughout my life and I would just acknowledge them and move on with my day. I did always wonder why I would pick up energy from people and it took a couple of weeks of research to come across a video called: Are you an Empath? Wow this was the beginning of my unknown world. I finally knew who I was and what my life purpose was. By this being said, I want to help others find their comfort zone. This is a great gift. We just have to work together and protect ourselves so we can heal others.
