How to tell if your are empathic? You feel everything. You feel your life; emotions, feelings, highs and lows and then you feel anothers, as if they were your own. I am an empath, with high intuition and felt like I was loosing my mind, when I was a kid. I always felt like there was something wrong with me. I grew up in a house, where no one communicated their sorrow or their pain. I grew up in a time, where words were not put to sorrow or pain, however, physical violence was the outlet and relief, from this pressure.

When my parents were getting ready to spiral out of control with their emotions, I could feel the shift coming, like you can smell cut grass, or rain on the earth. As an empath, I found myself trying to act as a peacemaker, caretaker and mediator. At 5 and 10 years old, with 2 brothers and a sister, all a year younger, they came to me, when things were bad. There was no one that I could go to.

As a conscious channel, being empathic, with high intuition, it took many years, starting with traditional counseling, at 25, to do some serious clearing and healing, to find my way back to myself. And then it was off to developing my psychic and intuitive awareness, to continuously maintain my personal balance, personal boundaries and personal space.

Empaths have to spend lots of time clearing and aligning to their inner awareness and it took me along time to learn this and accept this, especially the responsibility for feeling 24/7. Empaths must learn how to protect their personal space and boundaries with a tremendous amount of awareness. There were times in the past, where I had friends that were in the middle of their own shifts in life and their emotions got to be too much for them. I started realizing that it was easier
