A Comprehensive Guidebook for Empaths – And it’s free.

The Empath Guidebook (and Bach Flower Remedies for Empaths) – 2nd Edition.

Free does not mean worthless.

The name might not roll of the tongue, but I feel it’s still my best work to date.

The original Empath Guidebook was written around 2012 and offered as a free download.

This 381 page version has been edited and expanded upon. If you are into Bach Flower Remedies (and as an Empath, they are your best friend), this is a wonderful resource for you as it goes into great detail on what remedies work for the Empath and why.

This book is available on Amazon as a Kindle and paperback version. However, I am offering it as a free PDF download as well.

Why free?

Because I truly believe it will benefit every Empath who reads it. Both new and advanced ones.

I believe such knowledge should be freely available. Yes, the option to buy it exists, but that’s only if you desire a book you can hold in your hands or wish to support my work.

Emmy the Empath emerges from the E-Closet – by Joss (Anneli) Rufus

Anneli is back with another Emmy the Empath.

Personally, I like the term ‘e-closet’. So many people feel ashamed about being an Empath as if though it’s a bad thing.

It does not make you in league with Satan or evil. In fact, more likely the opposite. Empaths will be more likely to help you than hinder you.

Also, it’s a valid point that being an Empath does not make you automatically psychic. Stop asking us for the lottery number!

Thanks Joss for sharing this with us and thanks for being such a valuable to the Empath Community. 🙂

People say I’m highly sensitive, but am I an Empath?

Anneli Rufus

How do I know I’m an Empath?

One of the most common things I see, when people e-mail me for advice is: Am I really an Empath?

They have looked at all the signs and can relate too many of them. They don’t always fit all the traits of an Empath. There are very few who do. However, they certainly fit many of the major ones, including being told that they are just too over sensitive or highly emotional.

HSP or Highly Sensitive Person is a signature trait of being an Empath.  It means that you react with a heightened sense to everything that is going on around you.

If something bad happens, your reaction will seem to be over the top to others.

It might be something along the lines of having a bad day at work. You believe you’ve made an error and now you feel very guilty about it.

Maybe someone reacted in a way to something you said or did that you didn’t think was positive and you feel bad or even guilty about how you made them feel.

Perhaps a partner or a friend is having a hard time and you can’t enjoy yourself around them because they don’t feel happy. You feel obliged to make yourself miserable so you can empathise with them.

You might even be cautious or afraid to let others know your true feelings because you don’t want to come across as uncaring or indifferent. You will make yourself feel unhappy because that seems to be your best option.

The Empath will feel obligated in some sense to react in a way that allows others to see that they are not alone and they have support.

This is generally unhealthy for all parties concerned because it simply feeds the negative energy rather than healing or helping anything.

As I said, it’s common for an Empath to be highly sensitive.  They take on the pain and discomfort of others around them, no matter if it’s human or animal or even plant.

Generally, if you ask yourself if you’re really an Empath, the very act of asking is a good indicator that you are. Non empathic people won’t ask and won’t even care. They will dismiss it out of hand.

Chances are high that if you ask the question, you are an Empath.
