Classets (WRITTEN) -
Are you or someone you know a Sensitive or Empath? Join this free monthly post happening on the first Friday at 10:00 am. Follow the prompts and take a deeper dive into who you are and how your intuitive ability can be a Superpower.
Last month we talked about the definition of an Empath. And before that, the definition of a Sensitive. Today we are going to explore the downside of being sensitive to energies (being a Sensitive or an Empath). It can feel like a curse:
If we don’t know that it exists.
If we don’t know what it is meant for.
If we don’t know how to utilize it for good.
If you have followed along with the past several classets, you may now realize that you or someone you know is a Sensitive or Empath. Unfortunately, there can be a real downside of having these intuitive abilities. Instead of pretending this isn’t an issue, let’s explore what this means. Then, and only then, can we learn how to utilize our gifts to benefit ourselves and others. Here are the possible negative outcomes:
In a quiet space and time, sit for a moment and feel what comes. These may be painful memories for you. Be sure to get support from those that are loving in your life. You do not have to do this journey alone. Write down the things that come to you. Remember, staying stuck in the “downside” of being a Sensitive or Empath is not the only option. Once you learn how to manage this gift, life can be much simpler and it will make more sense. (I suggest a designated notebook for this journey of self discovery)
Next month we will be talking about the upside of being a Sensitive or Empath. Yes, there is a wonderful upside to this ability! Then later in this classet series we will learn specific techniques that will change this “curse” into a superpower.

And don’t forget, an extended version of this classet is available with a paid subscription in podcast form with more material and a guided meditation on the monthly topic. Plus there are more benefits found there. It’s worth the $8/month! Come join the party behind the paywall.
