Energy is your most important commodity. When you’re feeling drained and exhausted, it doesn’t matter how much time, money or friends you have because you won’t have any energy to enjoy it.

There’s a vast array of strategies to help you manage your energy ranging from the foods you eat (chaga mushrooms, gogi berries, elixirs…) to boosting your mindset (that’s my work as a life coach), to the energetic realm (frequencies, vibrations, empaths…).

In this episode, you’ll learn about energy from the perspective of the energetic realm.

Rebecca Gibson, Spiritual Strategist and Psychic Medium, teaches us about empaths and how to manage your energy (whether you’re empathic or not).

In short, empaths are people who are so attuned to other people’s energies that they absorb what others are feeling emotionally and/or physically. For example, if a friend is sad and worried, you won’t just feel bad for them (sympathy) or just understand what they must be going through (empathy). You will actually feel the sadness and the worry (empath). This might also happen for physical pain like if somebody is sick or has a sore knee. If you’re an empath, you can actually feel it.

Most relevant for 2020 is that if you’re an empath, you might feel the continually transpiring world events weighing down on you. Maybe you’ve experienced unexplained dampening of your energy or maybe even bouts of sadness that leave you drained.

This all happens on a spectrum and maybe you feel it a little or maybe you feel it a lot. But when you don’t know that you’re an empath, you’re susceptible to getting bogged down and not be able to do anything about it because you don’t know what you don’t know.

Well, now you know ;)

We also dive into the deep layers of what it really means to be an empath and how to use it for the superpower that it is.

Oh! And I learned a new term - spiritual hygiene. I love that term and it really helps me better understand how to take care of my energy. I’m really excited for you to learn about it too because it makes all of this stuff feel more second nature and easy.

In specific, you will learn:

  • Traits and signs to help you know if you’re an empath

  • How energy exchanges cause empaths to feel drained

  • What to do about the fact that empaths who are disconnected from themselves and operate through ego might attract toxic situations into their lives

  • What you need to know about how empaths help bring others back to the frequency of love

  • *How to protect your energy so that you don’t absorb what you don’t want

  • Not only that, but how to get MORE energy

What is an empath?

What does it really mean to be and empath…what does it feel like to be one? What kinds of experiences do they or have they encountered? Rebecca shares with us traits of an empath like how they absorb other people’s emotions and experience massive fluctuations in their own emotions.

Are you an empath?

Rebecca shares 13+ signs and examples that will help you know if you’re an empath such as:

  • absorbing other people’s emotions

  • being drained from watching the news

  • feeling completely isolated

  • noticing that groups of people vibe at your vibe (ex. if you’re happy and you walk into a room others seem to be happy; if you’re anxious and you walk into a room it seems that everyone else becomes anxious)

  • people confide in you and leave feeling amazing while you’re left feeling like crap (headache, anxious, cramping…)

Spiritual Hygiene!

One of my new favorite terms! This is an easy term to remember to help you cue into protecting your energy.

“Just as you’d wash your hands after shaking a bunch of people’s hands, you need to wash off your energy after bumping energies with others”

Rebecca gives us several amazing ways to clear and protect your energy. They’re simple and definitely something that you can do right away!
