Are you an empath? Often introverted empaths can feel others’ emotions and energy as if they are your own. They require more time to recharge and crave time alone, finding it difficult not to absorb these frequencies. Therefore, they can be continually searching for their place in the world as they feel like they don’t fit in.
Let’s face it, life’s hard enough right? Just trying to get by in society without these extra sensitivities. However, empaths also have the ability to be able to connect with others on a more emotional and spiritual level.

Books on being an Empath
Here is a short excerpt from one of her books.
“It was always easier to believe in others and their dreams. I never quite saw my potential when it came to me. As I grew older and wiser, I embraced doing things differently; it was my path to discovering who I was. Even though at times, I felt like the world had me pinpointed as an outcast. It was exhausting not trying to absorb the energies of those around me, and I always felt and I always felt utterly drained from just existing.”
“I questioned maybe these things never came into my life because I didn’t deserve them or that I was just unlucky. Going through very turbulent and challenging times, I had to look in the mirror and face myself to understand what my heart truly wanted from this life. I discovered I had to value myself before allowing anyone or anything of value. Even if I tried to envision good things for myself. It seemed that a horrible voice inside was always around, ready to pounce on any of my dreams.” __ Ahlia Rose; Awaken to Your Truth.
