DOUBLE WHAMMY: FEELING MIGRAINES AND BEING AN EMPATH
The definition of an empath is someone who is hypersensitive (HSP) to emotions and conditions of other people. They usually have an intuitive personality and may be unaware of it. Empath means "in feeling". For empaths information comes unsolicited and sometimes unwanted. Empaths are loving, caring, kind people who want to help others. They are often found doing volunteer work and may serve others through emotionally-demanding careers as childcare givers, medical professionals, hospice workers, midwives, and such. Most empaths came in with a mission to heal people, animals, plants, and the planet. As healers, many have taken on so much external energy that they spend most of their time trying to clear unwanted energy and recuperate from the last episode that “blew their doors off". Empaths have an acute sense of smell, sight, hearing, taste and touch. The bombardment of senses can cause empaths to experience migraines and other (severe) headaches. (Please don't assume your migraine/headaches are due to your empathic nature, make sure you check in with your Dr. to rule out any other underlying causes of migraines/headaches.) An as we know migraine/headaches can be completely debilitating and life altering. Have you ever walked down the perfume aisle in a store and immediately felt nausea followed by a migraine/headache? Empaths are supersensitive to sunlight and white light as I like to call it. Their sense of smell is always in overdrive to the point of nausea. Here are some questions to ask yourself: 1. When in public, do you constantly feel overwhelmed with inexplicable emotions for which you can’t determine the reason? 2. Do you experience other people's physical ailments? 3. Do you feel overwhelmed when watching something horrible in real life or even on television? 4. Do you ALWAYS know what someone really means? 5. Do you feel compelled to care for anyone in pain, no matter who they are and what they’ve done to you? 6. Do people open up to you – even if you don’t want them to? 7. Can you heal? Being an Empath doesn't have to be so overwhelming, but this is not something most would aspire to so don't get upset if none of this rings true for you. Everyone's got "otherworldly talents" and you needn't be an Empath to excel in the realm of conscious endeavors. If you *are* an Empath, you will know this is you, If you feel (without hesitation!) these apply to you as I’ve just described, then also know there are ways of coping. With a little self-awareness you can turn your curse into gift, especially when it comes to being able to ease the emotional and physical pain of others. For now, take consolation in the knowledge that you are not crazy ! If you are having a difficult time preventing migraines from happening and you have not identified a physical cause that can be corrected, you might want to consider that your migraines are originating from an energy imbalance within you. If you are closed off from your intuition or empathic, energy healing gifts, or if you are running too much energy for your body to absorb, your body pays the toll. At birth we have a tendency to be energetically like little amoebas. We have unstructured borders. We move our energy fields in and around the energy fields of other people in order to check out how they are feeling. We do this instinctively in order to know how to get what we want, in order to be safe, or in order to understand that which is around us. As we grow older some people learn other methods of defense. Some people do not learn other methods and continue to be empathic, being sponge-like in soaking up energy, information and emotions from other people. These people find it very difficult to understand where they stop and another person begins. They have a tendency to allow their boundaries to be invaded by other people. They do not understand the concept of personal boundaries. When a person is empathic it is difficult for them to have a good self image that is not controlled by the thoughts of other people about them. They do not have a clear impression of self hood and "others." This gift of being able to read other people empathically becomes more of a curse than a gift. Fortunately Migraine Magick address not only the physical manifestation of the migraine/headaches but the energetics of the empath as well. Everything is energy, pulsating particular vibrations. Since an Empath feels energy, just like a living person breaths air, it is understandable why a few issues might arise as an human-being. Humanity (apart from perhaps indigenous cultures), is one big confusing energetic vibrational mess! The modern world is a melting pot of fractured energies: for example loaded emotional projection, hidden agendas (whether personal or global), wi-fi, mobile phone radiation, electric gadget emissions, multi media marketing designed to allure; highly processed foods, TV, ipads, need I go on. No wonder empaths have Migraines/headaches!!! Migraine Magick is structured on the quantum level to raise the personal positive vibration, bring the molecules into congruent alignment also known as superradiance. Once this homeostasis occurs, consciousness becomes more obvious. In other words, although we feel the emotion we do not become attached to it. Releasing emotional attachment is the main key to mastery. Most Empaths suffer needlessly because they cannot release their personal emotional attachment to feelings. If we let go of attachment, it doesn’t mean we won’t feel. It just means that we don’t get tangled in the feeling anymore. It means we can watch as things happen and really discern that ‘that isn’t us’, ‘that isn’t our own feeling. As a result healthy boundaries are naturally formed. Once being an empath is no longer a curse it is a HUGE gift: one that allows humanity to have compassion and understanding
