Empathic Life - Which Energy in the Room are You Focusing on?

My guess is that most who will read this are empaths. What is the higher purpose of empathism?" I believe it is to read energy and raise energy (in terms of higher vibration/less density), helping individuals and the world to lift up to a higher frequency. This might be the very simple act of smiling. It could be more involved in ways such as deeper conversation, expressing hope, or offering aid. You would know as you likely have done it many times.

How can we raise the energy when sometimes picking up way too much and even withdrawing or isolating because of it?



First, engage in practices that raise your energy. Practice spiritual hygiene by cleansing your field as needed. Some ways to do that would be to take a shower after being at the mall with the intention of cleansing away any heavy feelings that you have picked up and engage in practices that clear the clutter from your mind and other people's energies from your body and field.



Secondly, when you "read the room", ask yourself, "Am I serving the more dense, lower vibrational energies in the room? or the highest? If you are serving the lowest, you might notice that you are getting into the others' feelings of pain, anger, hopelessness - perhaps taking their feelings on - and even further, imaging a future that lies ahead with even more these energies. 



As the responsive being that you are, you will only serve to increase the density of others and the world by taking it on personally and projecting it into the future. 



There is another way: To use your empathic abilities to the highest level. That is to stand in your Self, that inner Divine that is ever present. You might acknowledge someone's feelings but not take them on rather than make it worse by reinforcing helplessness and the state of being stuck. 



Your higher purpose as an empath is to uplift, to raise the energetic field of yourself, others, and the planet. You might use words, you might not. Words are not always necessary. Just your presence as someone who understands and at the same time stands in the possibility and truth of lighter, less dense, and more joyous, open living might be enough. 



By engaging in self-love, spiritual hygiene, and practices that lift your vibration, you become the open vessel from more light to enter the field, then you, as an empath, bring that to others, uplifting, thankful, hopeful, and carrying forward to a better future.
