Resources & Coping Skills for Empaths & Highly Sensitive People
What is an Empath? If you're one of us, you have highly sensitive spiritual, emotional, and energetic perception. You literally feel
other people's energy and emotions in your own body and energy field.
Sometimes it may seem like you are an energy
sponge for other
There is nothing you can do to take your intuitive empath sensitivity away; however you can learn to cope with
it so it doesn't hurt.
It is possible to learn empath coping skills and create boundaries so that you
are not drained of energy. I explore these issues and other tools in my free monthly newsletters and in my book The Complete
Empath Toolkit. I also hold several Empath Academy classes each year and offer workshops in select cities.
My name is Dr. Michael R.
Smith, I'm an intuitive empath, and I act as a coach and facilitator for empaths and highly sensitive people. I help you to
understand the power of intuition and subtle energy - and how it can benefit or hurt you, depending on how you manage your energy.

Dr. Michael R. Smith
It happens to empaths every day.
Other people will either give or take our energy from us. It's inevitable as breathing.
Energy exchange happens in every interaction in the world. More often than not, empaths are the ones who become drained.
An important first step in being a skilled empath is to learn to quiet your mind so that you can have awareness of when people infringe
on your energy. There's a famous story that tells of how Jesus knew when someone had tugged on his robe and therefore pulled
some energy from him. As empaths, we also get people tugging at us, asking for our energetic help. We must be like all
the great spiritual masters and become aware of when these dynamics are at play. Only then we can take steps to preserve
our energy, primarily through the act of saying no.
Our second primary task is to make our energy fields (auras) bigger than they have
ever been before. We do this through ritual practices that keep the chakras open and allow us to take in more Light energy.
When we have a larger spiritual "mass" (e.g. a larger aura that can hold more Light), then when other people do take from us, it won't
harm us as much. Make it your goal to have a little extra energy "padding." It's like wearing an energy coat that extends,
say, 15 feet all around us, made of pure light.
Empaths are warriors in the spiritual realm. Our weapon is Light.
As an
empath, you have a choice. You can let others overtake you with their lower vibration. Or you can overtake them with your
high vibration. The only way you will overtake others is through the purposeful creation of Light.
It really is that simple.
Creating
Light can be done in a variety of ways. Yoga, martial arts, and mind-body meditation practices are just some of the many techniques
that connect body and mind with the intention of more Light. It is up to you to find a discipline and a ritualistic
practice, something that you take seriously in order to raise your vibration and create more Light.
(Finding the right
rituals for you are explored in detail in The Complete Empath Toolkit. This is also what we do in my personal mentoring and
coaching work).
If you've been sitting on the sidelines, now is the time to kick it up a notch!
That's what the universe is asking of
all of us. May you find the fortitude, the courage, and the will to keep moving forward, to keep bettering yourself, and to
become more in tune with spiritual principles.
