Two Game-Changing Tips for Coping as an Empath/Highly Sensitive Person

If you’re empathic or a highly sensitive person, I have 2 new tips for you today that I hope will help!

As you know, coping as a highly sensitive person comes with a set of challenges that can be difficult to navigate. In many ways, being sensitive is good, especially when it comes to feeling, understanding, and transmuting subtle energies. However, it can also negatively impact your life. Feeling everything around you makes it hard to be “normal.” In addition to that, I have discovered that…

Being Empathic Impacts Your Body.

Feeling and sensing energy can really stress you out, which negatively impacts your physical body. At times, you can inadvertently go into a state of hyper vigilance, where you are always on the lookout for the next situation, place, or person you need to avoid in order to feel OK. Sometimes things happen that you weren’t expecting, and it takes hours or even a day to recover. And it tends to get more difficult as you age.

But there’s hope! Here are a couple of game-changing tactics I discovered just this year:

#1: Adaptogenic Herbs

What has REALLY shifted things for me this year is taking Ashwagandha, an adaptogenic herb that helps your body get conditioned to and adapt to stressful situations. There are other types of adaptogens, including Rhodiola, Siberian Ginseng, and Schisandra. I found Ashwagandha to be the most effective for me personally, but everyone’s different.

Adaptogenic herbs help your body to adapt to stressful situations. Taking them doesn’t mean you are not going to stop being an empath, but they do help with side effects like adrenal fatigue and burnout. Give it a month to 6 weeks before you start seeing results. I was amazed by how good Ashwagandha is for my body.

 

#2 Center Yourself in Your Heart Chakra

I spoke about this recently, but I just spent a few months slowly and thoroughly reading Soul Loveby Sanaya Roman, who channels Orin. It’s a practice book, so you work the steps as you read it. It guides you though a powerful process of opening your heart chakra and running that energy through your body.

What is changing things for me is the fact that I, as do many of us who are empaths, have a lot of unbalanced solar plexus energy. If, as a fellow empath, you ever feel things in your gut and it HURTS, you know what I’m talking about. I didn’t intend for this to happen; it just did. And nothing I tried (and I tried a LOT of things) really worked to change this. In Soul Love,Sanaya and Orin teach you to lift solar plexus energy into your heart chakra, which transmutes and transforms it. 

I highly recommend this book, but if you don’t want to read it or meditate, remind yourself to operate from your heart chakra as often as you can. If you feel something troubling in your gut/solar plexus, imagine lifting that energy into your heart center, which will shift and transform it. 

I hope these tips help!
