What is empathy? And why it is so important in Mediumship
Within this blog, I will explain empathy and my understanding of what it really means. It is a big part of my life and my work is a psychic medium. I hope that this blog will give you the insight and the necessities of understanding its true definition.
What is Empathy?
Empathy is the understanding and the sense of how other people feel about themselves and their situations. Moreover, it is the intuition and the selfless interest in how somebody else feels. Along with being able to imagine or put yourself into somebody else’s situation.
True empathy is something that I try to adhere to. Within my work of working as a psychic medium with the spirit world and my clients, empathy is something that I hold close to my heart. Taking my work very seriously in order to make sure that I pass on as much love, support and empathy to my clients.
Sensitive people tend to be attuned more to empathy. This is because they are able to sense somebody else’s feelings. What’s more, is that people who show empathy will tend to help everybody else out. In particular, those who are in need.
Empathy when working with the spirit world
Undoubtedly empathy is vital when working as a psychic medium and working with the spirit world. Bearing in mind that the client that is having the reading from you could be going through a lot of grief and stress. More than likely due to their loved ones being in the spirit world.
In order to work as a psychic medium or even just a psychic, you need to have a strong sense of empathy. If you do not, then you will not be able to work in this industry. Understanding other people’s insecurities and traumas is vital. Remember, you are dealing with somebody’s life and it is far from a joke.
The spirit world is also highly empathetic. The main reason spirit comes through is usually down to empathy and love. Passing on their love and guidance to everyone that they knew in the physical world.
As a psychic medium myself, it is one of the things I love most about my job. Being able to give all that love and support from the spirit world to your client. In many cases where grief is so overpowering for them just to know that their loved ones in the spirit world are safe that’s all they need.
Empathy when working as a psychic or tarot card reader
Just as much as empathy is important when working as a psychic medium it is just as important when working as a psychic. Giving your client spiritual guidance and showing them the positives in their life.
I believe that no matter how bad life can be. There is always light at the end of the tunnel. We are meant to go through difficult, stressful and hurtful situations, but this is what moulds us into the people we are.
It is the job of the psychic to give empathy and proof that life will get better. Really understanding your client and knowing even from your own life experience experiences as a psychic how they must be feeling.
This is why many psychics and psychic mediums have had difficult lives. Overall at no point would you be able to do your work professionally or with so much passion if you had not.
What creates empathy?
Well, that’s the biggest question. Undoubtedly there are many different factors some people are naturally born empaths. However, I do believe it can be learned. Certainly from having experienced difficulties and hardships throughout your life, you know how it feels.
Many people who have had difficult lives understand how it feels that they can be the most susceptible to empathy. At the same time, it is really I suppose a humane thing to do. Being unselfish and trying to put yourself into somebody else’s situation.
At the end of the day, you can never be 100% sure where you’re gonna end up in life. In that case, that’s why I tried to be empathetic with everybody. Never take anything or anybody for granted.
For example, if you experienced bullying within your childhood or adulthood life. And then witness somebody else who is going through the same situation it’s easier to feel empathy for them.
Empathy and spirituality
On the whole, empathy does not belong to spirituality or any religion. You do not need to be a spiritualist or a religious person to feel empathy or classify yourself as an empath.
Yes, it’s true that empathy is a big part of spiritualism and a lot of religions. However, you do not need to adhere to or have any belief in them.
Certainly, if you practice religion or consider yourself to be spiritual then you must recognise empathy. Also, you must have an open mind and be acceptable to other people and their faiths.
Mindfulness is another factor. Being accepting of your own self in order to be an empath.
Forgiveness
Many of us who work as psychic mediums and in the spiritual field have had difficult lives. Our lives usually include bullying and trauma because we are often perceived as different and unusual.
Admittedly, most of us have trauma and can be perceived as being oversensitive. As difficult as it can be it is important to move forward. Perhaps in some cases feeling empathy for those who have caused you harm.
With this in mind when you think about it, they cannot be happy in their own lives to treat you in a bad way. Karma always manages to come around one way or another whether it is good or bad karma.
Forgiveness is not always an easy thing, but it is important not to let your trauma rule your life. In fact, use it as a tool with empathy and giving people the love and support that they need.
Selflessness
Undoubtedly selflessness is a factor of being empathetic. However, at the same time, it is important to also put yourself first in certain situations. So many of my clients, I’ve met that true empaths don’t do that.
In my role as a psychic medium, I see so many amazing people with real spiritual and empathetic gifts. Often many of them don’t realise that they have them but at the same time, they don’t value themselves.
Yes, of course being an empath is a good thing, but you need to also take into account yourself. Giving away too much of your time and your energy you deserve it back.
Summary
So here we have my description of an empath. I really hope that this block has helped you understand what an empath is certainly from my perspective. Please do take into account all that I have mentioned and I hope that it helps you.
Thank you
