Dear Empath

Posted on by RhapsodyBoheme

Picture from last year at one of my favorite hangouts near my house.

Today’s post is personal and I know many of you will relate. May it bring peace to you in reading those lines. May it remind you that you feel everything just a little extra. And may it outline how truly special you are for doing so. Here it goes….

Dear empath, the one who feels everything so deeply.

I understand that your tender heart feels so tired, so overwhelmed by the heaviness of life here. You don’t understand how people can be so mean, so cruel, so vindictive and so angry. But even more so, you just don’t understand why everyone expect YOU to also be that way.

It’s just not in your nature. You love. You see all of life with love, and you only want others to also see the love and beauty that is present in all of life.

You’ve walked through most of your life feeling like an outsider, like you’re from somewhere else, and you’re beginning to desperately want to go home there now. Please don’t give up. You’re not wrong. You’re not the one who is wearing blinders to our true nature. You’ve known the answer is love all along…

The time has come for you to flourish, to learn from your heart and to share the immeasurable joy’s that doing so affords. It’s your time to shine, dear one. And to do so, you simply have to love yourself…Love yourself is fiercely as you’ve loved everyone else. That’s been your job all along – and now it’s your time. Love YOU with all your being, dear one, and you’ll remember again that ALL is well.

Love,

Your Soul

We are the co-creators of our life and the time is now. More than ever are we needed to support Mother Earth and each other. Together we discover and explore our unique gifts in times of strengths, in times we lean on each other, and in times when we learn from each other. This blog started as an outlet and what I ultimately called my “Warriors Journey.” It was a way to document the ups and downs of my life, sharing my hardships as well as my successes. It showcased the struggles, but more important the ways of how to overcome them. Although we are warriors each and every day, I realized that having to be a warrior, comes from a place of pain. I decided to rename this blog, and “Phoenix Rising” now stands for the story of overcoming such a painful place. My motivation for this blog hasn’t changed and I hope to share inspiration and hope, to create a sense of belonging, a space of being heard, and connecting with like minded beings who instill a sense of oneness. We are never alone, and we are unstoppable in the pursuit of what sets our soul on fire. Who I am in a nutshell... 
I am an energy healer and Reiki Master. I am surviving a chronic disease that I’ve sent into remission three times since my initial bout, 15 years ago. I continuously challenge the status quo and by doing so I change my stars. I am a believer that anything is possible. I am a hopeless romantic and I believe that true love exists on various levels. I am an optimist that will always see the glass as half full. I am a dreamer, believing in endless possibilities. Not even the sky is the limit. I have jumped off of the hamster wheel, and I am writing a new chapter. I am chasing my Nirvana to support my most authentic self. This is my story, I am that Phoenix and I am rising from the ashes. Namaste 🙏🏼💙🦋

    1. Thank you so much dearest. I know exactly what you mean and it takes a lot of courage standing on your own. You know it’s the only way to be true to yourself. Always remember how unique and special you are. There is nothing wrong with you and you are perfect. You don’t need to change and the right people, your clan will love you for who you are. Be proud of who you are, for you are special my dear. Hugs

  2. Absolutely get this. To love is grand, to live is harder and almost more important. I learned that with mom. Love zombies who go forth to love indiscriminately, they need to live. Embrace life and live what they love. YOU do this. YOU have shown this over and over and I think of you when I forget. YOU are a live lover. (live as in a person who lives, not as in lives like 9 lives cat food…sheesh, English is an awful language!!) You are not a life lover, even if you do love life. I think it is because of that you live—Circuitous??? oh dear! I know you get what I’m trying to say, though!!!

    1. My dearest sister, I hear you loud and clear and couldn’t agree more. Nothing is ever easy, but it can be done.
      You are right and I do embrace life. It’s much simpler this way and we all decide for ourselves. For me it is working better this way. You fill my heart with your kindness and I hope you are well. Soon I will be much closer to you again. Distance wise 😉

  5. You are indeed an empath who sees other empath. And in your struggle, you see ours too. Your words are as if you can see right into my heart… for it is yours also, as with everyone here.

    Yes, my insightful one, the struggles for me have been many for me lately, and hurtful. I too must love me, especially right at this moment in time when tears spring forth. Doors are not just closing for me, but slamming in my face. I must move on and your words, spoken through your own wellspring of emotion, have made me realise that all of us here are being given a little shove by the Universe. 💕💕💕

    1. Oh dear Colette, your comment stirs on mixed emotions and I am grateful for your words and yet saddened to hear about your struggles. You know best what is happening and you don’t need reminders. And yet I’m here to say that everything happens for a reason. We often don’t understand but often something better comes along. I truly hope this is the case for you, while embracing you in a big hug.
      Be well my sister and know you are not alone. Xoxo ❤️❤️

  11. What special and precious soul-felt words you are gifting to all and so many people’s hearts are opened to them. I see them for you, my dear one. It’s comforting to know you have the power and wisdom to express them and own them, for you are right, the time has come for you to express your love for yourself, you who give your love to others like no other could. Time for your life to blossom, for your dreams to come true, for your hopes and joys to be realised. May it be so. x
