Dear Empaths

This is a blog post written by Alayna Freese, who’s words rang so true, I felt called to share them here.

”Dear Empaths,

You are energy alchemists. Let me explain.

First, I would like to propose a radically different notion to you: you’re not fragile, and you don’t need to be protected. Yes, I am talking to you, empaths. This is probably different from what you’ve heard or read. I bet you’ve heard that you need to protect your energy, and avoid all kinds of people and situations because you’re just too sensitive.

As an empath, I have a question for my fellow empaths, and please forgive my language: what if that’s all bullshit? See, here’s the thing. Haven’t you ever wondered why we’re here? And by “we” I mean us sensitive people, who cry way more than we want to admit. Like, why do we have to go through all this, while we are here? Have you ever wondered that? Yeah, me too. And actually, I have received information about that, which I would like to share with you. Now, you can think I’m crazy if you like (God knows any empath worth her salt has been called that enough), but I am telling you, that I have been given some information about what we empaths are doing here and what spiritual purposes we serve in this world, why there are so many of us at this time, and why the absolute worst thing we can do is protect, or “shield” ourselves. Now, before you think I’m really batshit, let me clarify that this information that has been shared with me through a series of visions over a period of time, is, as I understand it, available to all of us. I would highly doubt that I am the only one who has received this information. And I would actually go so far as to say that empaths everywhere have in fact, received it, even if they don’t realize it. And I would go so far as to predict that empaths will identify and “get” this message, for that very reason.

But I digress—the point of this blog is not to explain how I got this information. The point of this blog is to share it. I wanted to tell you that, so that you would understand that what I am about to share with you is not precisely a formation from my own experience and thinking, but is rather what I believe to be a product of data channeled from some other dimension. Yes, I just said “channeled from some other dimension.” Yes, you can still call me crazy. But without further ado, let me now get to the point.

Energy Alchemy: the Purpose of Being an Empath?

Empaths have always been brought into the world, throughout human history, in order to do one thing mainly, and that is transform emotional energy. Empaths are energy alchemists. While in recent times we have popularized our understanding of empaths through the notion that empaths are nothing more than extreme sensitives who must protect themselves from sensing too much, what I have been shown is that empaths are in fact supposed to sense. This is because, contrary to popular belief, empaths are not mere sponges purported to randomly absorb whatever feelings. This is because the universe in which we exist is not random. It’s true that from the small view, here in the concrete and physical dimension, everything, including the condition of being an empath, takes on the appearance of random chaos. But from the wider scope, a pattern emerges—the order creeps magnificently over the chaos, and every twisted, strange piece that seemed haphazardly flung from our microscopic view, is expressly placed from the macroscopic view.

So while it often seems we are just tossed into situations where we meaninglessly absorb emotions that then needlessly throw us off, in the big picture, there is a reason for it all. And this reason is a part of one big, quantum pattern. Now, frankly, anything that becomes quantum is going to escape the grip of our rational minds, and so we won’t always know the specific reason. But we can know the general reason. And the general reason is that empaths are anything but delicate or fragile. Empaths are intensely sensitive beings—and all intensely sensitive beings, contrary to societal depiction, are intensely strong. Empaths are spiritual warriors, and as I mentioned, energy alchemists. Empaths are here to transmute and transform the energy they absorb. Empaths do far more than merely absorb. Absorption is only the first step in what we do. Empaths are made to move that which is in negative form, to divine form—to shift that which is dark to light. In other words, we empaths are sort of like the spiritual trees of the human world, purifying the dirty air so that all creatures can go on living and breathing.

Now, just because empaths are intended to transmute negative into positive, does not mean this is what we do with our gifts. First of all, we have free will, so we don’t have to do “as intended.” But second of all, it is often the case that we just really don’t know our own power. Not only does the world generally prey on sensitive people (because there are many who secretly fear our strength), but we are told over and over that as empaths, we’re vulnerable little sponges who need to hide ourselves. And so what we end up doing is either constantly battling our gifts and trying to suppress our sensitivity (which is a bit like trying to put out a fire on the sun), or we end up using our transmutation powers the wrong way. In this latter case, we end up twisting energy around inside of us, without necessarily transforming it for better, and in some cases transforming it for worse. This is sometimes done intentionally but in the vast majority of cases, it is done simply out of blind frustration.

The bottom line is we empaths have been discouraged from the knowledge of our true power. But we are not intended to be kept in the dark. Many of us are beginning to embrace our empathic abilities for what they are, and many more will follow. And this brings me to the reason why empaths are more prevalent than ever: empaths are intended to lead us into the Age of Aquarius.”
