The term ’empath’ is often used to describe a person whose brain and the central nervous system works uniquely. Empaths can understand people, resonate with them and be in tune with them, voluntarily or involuntarily.
In simpler terms, an empath has a high degree of overall sensitivity. Empath’s sensory organs have a unique level of sensitivity to light, smell, sound, and even other subtle senses. However, the degree and intensity of their sensitivity are dependent on their natural abilities. They also possess a very sensitive emotional nature that is somehow quite difficult to manage. Sensitivity though is only one part of being an empath.

The thing is, empaths are very, very intuitive. Some things that most people can’t see yet, empaths tend to do things by feeling, sensing, and reacting to cues. They are, for the most part, driven by deep intuitive connections which are primarily conscious and automatic ones. At times, what an empath senses or knows cannot be immediately verified but as soon as they master their gifts, hunches, and gut feelings, these senses become invaluable.
Empaths are mostly known to have a deep sense of knowing accompanied by compassion, being considerate, and a deep understanding of others. These gifts may sound very intimidating, but the truth is, these are worth honing and celebrating. Empaths make wonderful healers, lightworkers, leaders, and practitioners. Their contributions are valuable especially to those who are needed and who wish to change the world.
