5 Tips for Empaths from a Spiritual Life Coach

If you’re here, you are not like the average person.

You can feel what others are saying. You can sense what others are feeling. 

As a spiritual life coach and an empath myself, I understand exactly what it’s like to be highly sensitive in a society that is overflowing with all kinds of emotions and energy.

If you are an Empath, you have a complex nervous system.

You are deeply connected to your internal world. Your expansive heart needs to stay open, but often closes if you become overstimulated. I have often seen that this overstimulation happens when you are around loud noises, large crowds, energy shifts, harsh words, disagreements, and violence.

Then you start retreating inwards and your heart starts to close. The expansive heart is meant to stay open. I encourage you to notice when these shifts happen and take note of what you can do to bring yourself back to center.

Here are some tips to help you do just that.

1. Practice Grounding Rituals

Empaths like us can easily absorb the energy of others, often leading to emotional overwhelm. Establishing grounding rituals, such as mindful breathing, connecting with nature, or visualization techniques can help you anchor yourself in the present moment. Grounding sort of acts as a protective shield, allowing you to stay centered amidst the emotional currents around you.

2. Set Energetic Boundaries

As an empath, it’s essential to discern between your own emotions and those you may be picking up from others. Something that helps is to visualize an energetic shield, bubble or cocoon around you, that creates a safe space that selectively filters the energies you allow into your personal sphere.

3. Make Self-Love as a Priority

Prioritizing self-love is a vital part of your routine. Empaths often give so much of themselves to others that they may neglect their own well-being and self-compassion. Regular self-love practices, such as meditation, doing something you love, going for a 15 minute walk, or having quiet reflective time, are so important for recharging your energy and maintaining emotional balance.

4. Listen to Your Intuition

Embrace and trust your intuitive abilities. Empaths like us have heightened senses of intuition. Listen to the subtle whispers of your inner guidance. Intuitive listening can provide valuable insights, helping you make decisions aligned with your authentic self and avoiding energy-draining situations.

5. Connect With Your Soul Tribe

Surround yourself with innerstanding and supportive individuals who appreciate and respect your empathic nature. Share your experiences with like-minded souls or seek guidance from a mentor. Building a community that understands and celebrates your sensitivity can be a source of empowerment and encouragement on your empathic journey!

How to Clear Your Energy as an Empath

Most Empaths or HSP’s (highly sensitive person) need to be mindful of energetic overwhelm and have some techniques to clear themselves, as they move through their day. Here are 3 of my favorite resets:

1. Make sure to build in downtime to your busy day.

2. If you’re in a loud social situation, plan to take a silent 15 minute walk in nature after to reset.

3. If you must have small talk with a new friend, afterwards come back to a loved one and ask a meaningful deep question to reignite the feeling of connection.

Being an Empath is a Gift

We are starting to see a bunch of highly sensitive empaths wake up. We are just not willing to put ourselves in the same situations that we used to. We are being called to step into who we truly are.

No more lies no more people pleasing, no more accommodating.

We are becoming energy recyclers. Whatever comes our way, we now decide if it gets to stay or if it gets returned back to the Divine to be recycled back into light.

We are positively changing the planet.

As a spiritual life coach, I encourage empaths to view their sensitivity as a spiritual gift rather than a burden. By incorporating these transformative tips into your daily life, you can navigate the world with a newfound sense of empowerment, embracing your empathic nature as a source of strength and wisdom.

And then you get to a point where you have a game plan for creating boundaries and neutralizing triggers. This can make your life can feel very different.

For years, I have had a journaling practice in place to help me navigate these tricky Empath HSP moments. It’s been so helpful to stop and have questions to ask myself to get back into alignment, when the energy is running high.
