What is an empath

AN EMPATH ?

What is an empath? Empaths „absorb” what other people are feeling. Empaths are spiritually attuned, highly intuitive, sensitive to sounds and sensations.

Empaths not only feel the emotions of others in their own bodies, empaths often benefit from a unique connection to the natural world, and particularly with nonhuman creatures.
The natural world provide a refuge! 

Empaths share an amazing bond with animals. It’s one that is built on understanding, care, and unconditional love – and it immensely benefits both animals and humans.
Perhaps animals have empathic characteristics too and that’s part of the reason they’re drawn to people grappling with strong emotions. 

Reasons why empaths connect deeply with animals:
They are powerful conduits of unconditional love! Animals love in a way that doesn’t need any explanation or reason. And, since they’re pretty upfront about how they feel, empath’s know exactly where they stand when they’re around animals. 

Whether it’s to take the dog for a walk or out in the fields with horses, empaths need this type of escape into nature to reconnect with themselves.
Animals teach us about survival – they don’t waste time thinking about what the cat next door said or what their five-year plan is.
Compassion, resilience, bond, bravery are just a few of the qualities that come to my mind (you can continue...).

Since empaths pick up on different energies easily, the effect of being around such calming forces can go a long way in making them feel less stressed or tired.
Even if you just stop to admire deer in the forest or birds singing in the tree, it’s a great way to reconnect with the world and quieten your mind for some much-needed relaxation, because the universe and everything in it is full of energy waves, and they flow through us!
