Every single child on this green-blue Earth is born with an innate gift for empathy. It is only as we are influenced by the feelings and thoughts around us that we forget to ‘hear’ instead of merely just listening.
After a few years of exposure to lessons taught by our parents and teachers, most of us forget completely that we ever listened with our inner mind and soul, and not just our ears. We loose an important part of our sixth sense.
But some of us remember, and for many it can be an overwhelming experience that results in many years of heartache.
Due to exposure to other people's emotions, many Empaths can and do develop health problems of their own such as phobias, anxiety, and depression. In a lot of situations these ills have no root cause within the empath (i.e. the empath has had no prior situations or health issues that may have led to them developing these problems) however, over time and repeated exposure these medical issues can arise.
Yet once you have developed an understanding of this skill you can learn to sense the difference between your own emotions and the emotions of others, and therefore lessen the risks of your own ills developing.
