Are you realizing you are an empath?

Is it becoming more clear to you how deeply affected you are by energy — i.e., other people’s energy, environmental energy, and noise? Do you get overwhelmed easily?

There are some simple tricks every empath should know for releasing the emotions of the day. 

Stuck energy causes empaths to feel exhausted.

When you understand and practice the tips here, you’ll avoid getting energy stuck in your body. ​

Most people aren't familiar with the idea of "stuck energy." Nonetheless, many of us are running around in that condition.

Energy is supposed to flow — that’s its natural state.

As an empath, you're being called to master your energy.

You're being called to tune into your energy and become aware of subtle energies in the world and within yourself. These are divine feminine healing energies.

We live in a very masculine, "Get over it!" and "Get it done!" kind of world. Now, that needs to change. And you, as an empath, are part of that change.

By becoming an empowered empath, you release unwanted emotions and energies.

The world needs empowered empaths now, more than ever. They will be the ones forging a better future. Is that you?

Here are 9 tricks for exhausted empaths to release the emotions of their day.

1. Make self-care normal.

The idea of self-care has become more “normal” in recent years. But our culture — consciously and unconsciously — still "stresses" the idea of always having to get things done.

It’s a part of our culture that needs serious reform.

So, be a trendsetter and make self-care normal. Make taking care of you and your well-being more important than material gain or status.

2. Bathe with salt.

In making self-care normal, taking a bath is the most basic activity. It’s one of the best and most powerful tips for empaths.

Make taking a bath a regular part of your life. It’s an immediate release of energy. You can use Epsom salt, but you can also use kosher salt.

If you don’t have a bathtub, take a shower. Even if you've already taken a shower in the morning, take another shower at the end of the day.

And as you shower, visualize the tension falling off your body and down the drain.

Rinse off the day’s stress. It really works!

Water is very healing, especially for an empath.

3. Learn how to use crystals.

Crystals such as rose quartz, amethyst, citrine, and an almost endless variety of others are your helpers — they hold healing properties.

There are many creative ways to use crystals for energy.

It’s a very sacred and beautiful way to be in the world when you have crystals by your side.

4. Use essential oils.

Essentials oils are another amazing empath’s helper. They are from the plant kingdom and offer many healing properties.

Each has its own unique balancing, clearing, healing, and even strengthening properties.

Again, just like crystals, there are many creative ways to use essential oils. Learning how to use essential oils can protect and empower you.

5. Feel your feet!

This may sound silly, but it’s an awesome trick for the empowered empath.

Most of us are so up in our heads. Feeling your feet immediately grounds you down into your body, which is very emotionally calming.

It’s such a great trick and a wonderful practice. I use this a lot — it keeps me centered and grounded in my body.9 Tricks For Exhausted Empaths To Release Emotions | Anna Thea | Yo...

~Personally, I would be lost without my bath salts and crystals, they keep me stabilized.  How about you?  What methods work for you to keep somewhat calm and stable?

Thank you.

Sadly, this does nothing to regenerate the energy from within a tired soul, be they an empath or not. I have known more people to get lost in familiar surroundings to reground their wayward thoughts, than to be submerged in the chaos around them. For that is all an imbalance is, too much of something at once to the point where nobody can otherwise make sense of their surroundings.

I use St Johns wort.  The dose is 3 times a day, I use 1 a day, sometimes two.  It helps me take the edge off and stop the negative thought process.  Honestly, I do better in spring and summer, a bit of autumn, I need to be outside.  I also use books to escape.  I like Fern Michael's books, they are fiction but have female empowerment stories.  Specifically The Sisterhood Series and Men Of The Sisterhood, but all her books help me to escape.  Actually, so does LOUD music, especially African Meditation  music.

I really love that.

I like this list. I personally don't take baths but I am considering getting a salt scrub. I have a huge collection of all the high frequency crystals like the Synergy 12 Stones including:
Petalite
Moldavite
Phenacite (Phenakite)
Danburite
Azeztulite
Brookite
Satyaloka Quartz
Scolecite
Tanzanite
Tibetan Tektite
Herderite
Natrolite
(That's a great list of stones for those that are ready)
I use essential oils in a diffuser. I like a blend I make myself made of Amber, Frankincense and Myrrh.
I use music as well. Delta and Gamma binaural beats are my favorite but all of them are good. I really enjoy Dr Thompson, especially his Delta sleep 1 and 2. I also highly recommend listening to Kelly Howell's Secret Universal Mind Meditarion in a regular basis.
Other than that a little herbal tea or something of that nature can do wonders for empath burnout, but you have to make a real ritual out of it and will the healing into being with your intentions.
Anyway, thanks for this list. It affirms for me that I have intuitively found what other empaths are drawn to for self care.

[Arachnifauna]

I like binaural beats as well ,very soothing

Often, when we are in need, we figure it out and discover what we can use.
