Most people cannot see energy, but many feel it. Emotions are energy and energy has vibration. It is this vibration that people (and animals) can feel & absorb. They are what we call empaths.
Vibration can fill the space in which it resides, just like sound, it moves in waves and makes it's impression upon the surface of our body and within it. Those waves can also interconnect with other vibrations that are also moving and if lots of vibrations or emotions are radiating on mass, through the collective and if the collective is experiencing similar vibrations such as: fear, loss, confusion & trauma, then vibration/energy will feel denser and more oppressive- especially to the Empath.
Children are prime examples of this- they often mirror through their behaviour what they see & feel from their parents, surroundings & community.
Empaths embody vibration and energy-they absorb it. This can look like:
• Feeling overwhelmed, emotionally out of balance and physically uncomfortable (tummy ache/headache/sickness).
• Feeling uneasy in certain places, or around certain people or feeling easily emotional when hearing another person's pain, collective pain or news report.
Empathy without boundaries and protection contributes to dysregulation, disassociation, and re-traumatisation.
Trauma survivors are more likely to be empathic, sensitive and have higher emotional intelligence .They are also more likely to be frequently disconnected from the body and because of this can access higher vibrations more easily. This also means they can't filter or defend what they are coming into contact with or absorbing.
This can exasperate further dislocation and can find they are ungrounded, do not feel safe, or unable to protect themselves from absorbing more energy from other people and places.This can lead to ill health.
Best defence: Grounding techniques, breathing down to the feet.(awareness of breath generally), weighted blankets, tapping, showers, physical movement and seeking regular clearing and aligning sessions.
