Open your Heart Chakra

This group is designed to bring together those of us who "feel" more than the "normal" person, have never seemed to fit in, but have always been "special" in a very different way. We are each "gifted", but have at many times felt cursed, not knowing how to deal with what we are experiencing, and have not had any coping mechanisms for how to deal with what we go through that makes us this way. Because of this, many of us have become introverts, withdrawing from society, misinterpreted incorrectly by society as to who we are. Many of us don't even realize what we are experiencing or who we are until much later in life. Some of us are even outgoing, which contradicts the norm, which makes it even more complicated, but both of us require "down-time" to replinish our energy.

Herein, Empath Awareness comes into play. We are here to see how we can support each other through sharing dreams and healing // centering // protection techniques. We, also have skilled tarot readers and intuitives in the group who routinely share their skills.

As empaths or intuitives, it can feel like a huge storm inside when we don't learn to harness our abilities. It can also be a source of inspiration for knowing when to let go // let loose.

How do you know that you are an Empath ?

* Do you feel better alone ?
* Do you tend to get tired or worn out in crowds ?
* Is it a pattern in your life for people to seek out your company to make them feel better ?
* Are people drawn to you to tell you all their problems ?
* Have you been told: "you are too sensitive?"

If so, there is a good possibility that you are an Empath.

The ability (( or, curse - as some might call it )) goes much deeper. Not only can an Empath tune into and absorb another person's emotions - which make them highly sought after to make others feel good. They can, also, affect and project emotions in their friends, families and complete strangers.

This group is the place to embolden our unique perspective on the planet. We welcome those who feel called to the word Empath as an identity for them and choose to gain strength by sharing space with others who have done the same.

If you are still unsure if you are an Empath, there are some good starter information pages on Empaths here:
