No 64 Empathy and Empaths

In this video, Tylluan talks about empathy and empaths. What is an empath? How do we deal with it if we feel that our empathy for others is getting out of hand?
Some of the topics in this talk are also covered in her book, The Essential Guide to Psychic Self Defence which is available here: thewolfenhowlep...

[@stonycreekwitchchristine3092]

Very well said...with saying one is an empath being such a popular topic these days this topic needs to be addressed exactly in the way you did. Happily when empaths are created we can develop the tools needed to keep us sane but it is our choice. We are completely useless to ourselves and others w/o the "baseball bat" of discernment (knowledge of the motives of others) and a bit of armour. Thank you so much for your talks.

Envisioning a golden-protective light (or whatever color you resonate with) to surround you, before stepping onto a train, or into a store, has really helped me. And/or, a small Selenite crystal stick in my pocket has worked wonders against being "bombarded" with all sorts of irritating vibes. Thank you Mrs. P for these videos~

[@catv9085]

As an empath, yes, it is horrible! I have struggled all my life to balance my level connection to the world around me. It has had its perks. I am more adept at some things than other people are because I understand the human mind better than most. But it's brought me a lot of pain, chaos, and isolation as well.

[@tylluanpenry3233]

+Cat V It can be really dreadful, almost like being without any sort of protection or shield whatsoever. Most magical skills have their perks, as you say, but sometimes the pain they bring in their wake can be quite devastating. Blessings, Tylluan :-)

Hello, hello, just stumbled on your videos searching out videos and inspiration on celebrating Imbolc. Great video, by the way. Many thanks for the intuitive topics....and I have subscribed. I'll take the time to watch your videos...I really like your calm energy...and you have a lovely sense of humor. Be well.

[@loiswininger3775]

Thank you yet again for your down to earth,practical information. I love the sensitive teeth analogy :)

[@tylluanpenry3233]

I used to be much more empathetic than I am today. I still care for people but I’ve been hurt too many times. I built up a wall. It’s a good wall; it’s like a shield. I found that people saw my kindness as weakness. Sometimes people even distrusted me because of it. So these days I’m much more picky about who I let in. It’s actually a good thing.

[@laurarikard3851]

Thank you! I needed this! 💓

[@elsaberg5341]

Me too

[@alonealotta]

You are so correct this lesson has been hard learned Ms. Tylluan~TY~☼~

[@tylluanpenry3233]

Yes indeed, I think there needs to be more focus on it really. I hope I can offer some useful solutions and defences to at least controlling it a bit in the coming months! Blessings, Tylluan :-)

[@The9LADIES]

Thankyou for the `Wake Up ! ` call Tylluan .... Love & Hugs xxx

[@tylluanpenry3233]

Thank you! Glad you're enjoying it! Blessings to you both, Tylluan :-)

[@cerridwenUK]

so very true Tylluan. I'm empathic and learnt long ago never to step out without my baseball bat, my shield. I've learnt to control it so when I do feel I am safe and that being able to 'feel' is important, then I drop the shield. My mum and my sisters are also empaths. So when I told my mum I felt I was lucky to have someone to speak too 😊

[@tylluanpenry3233]

Working on control is very important. And if a baseball bat works for you then go to it! It's really good that you were able to talk to your mum about being an empath. Blessings, Tylluan :-)

[@nikamini6]

Thank you for your videos. I am glad that I found you. By now I am almost certain that I am an empath. Empathy is the most important word for me and the irony is that I am from Greece and empathy is an Ancient Greek work meaning “In the feeling/ En Pathos) With that being said the Greeks no longer use it and the only thing I see in the society is apathy. It’s hard to have strangers in need of advice or help but when you are alone no one tries to help you. Being an empath is giving fulfillment though, every time I try to help others I feel like it’s my purpose. What makes this ugly is that others try to hurt me or other people, also people are apathetic. This means that I have found myself feeling alone and lately I have less and less friends even though I absorbed their problems and even helped them battle depression. While studying, music and being in nature helps me and I have acceptable grades friendship is a problem for me. I sometimes lose hope and I wonder why can’t I find friends? Why is is so difficult for people to call someone new a friend? It’s just a word. Listen fellow empaths, I am not the right person to advice you but I have this belief in my heart. We try to help people and understand them, we feel them and yet we are alone and strained and it’s hard... BUT if the world stops having the few of us it will be too cold. Someone has to do this and I always tell myself don’t give up, don’t say why me ask why not me! Say that you can fight and you can do this. Even though I lost my sister I still try to find a purpose and a way to make life positive. Sending you all blessings and love. You can do this, I am here you are not alone.

[@ShaunMillerSymbian]

I am soo pleased find you .... your take on Magic and Energy is spot on thank you foe sharing !

[@laurarikard3851]

I have just been through the biggest heartbreak of my life. My ex came to my home with his son and his sons new girlfriend and busted out the windows of my home. I was holding my 9 month old granddaughter. Our relationship had been toxic for years. That night changed my life! I've been so aware of my being since

[@A.Hess7749]

It blows my mind, that for all the people that claim to be empaths in this comment section, not one person reached out to you to make sure you were OK. I know it’s been three years, however I’m new to this channel and wanted to reach out to you. I’m sorry you went through such an awful experience, it must have been a devastating time in your life. I hope you have been able to heal and move forward on a more positive path. For what it’s worth, I’m thinking of you and sending healing blessings full of love.💕

[@sumthingangels]

I have Asperger's So for me I feel empathy allot more then most people do. You have great advice on this.

[@amandaponder1251]

I went through a period where I used to cry and cry over the current state of the world. I would just break down in listening to music or just in hearing some news or just sitting with my thoughts. I still get sad about the suffering in the world now but not nearly as easily or severely... I guess I've had to, for my own mental health, let it go a bit and just keep it out of my mind.

[@Tigerpaws9097826]

Thanks to you, MoJo7Crow, I've learned a new, and very useful, word. I completely understand its meaning.

[@laurarikard3851]

I've always felt that I must not be careless with what's inside me! I feel everyones feelings

[@HappyCrone]

I feel things so deeply, but my wall is either up or down, that is my problem. I have a difficult time modulating it.

[@rhaven50]

I love this. I came across a wonderful book on psychic self defence a few years back. it was a real eye opener and empowering. great share :-)

[@tylluanpenry3233]

Glade you're enjoying it, rhaven50! Blessings, Tyllulan :-)

[@MoJo7Crow]

+rhaven50 Tylluan Penry has written a book herself on that subject called The Essential Guide To Psychic Self Defence. Is this the book you are speaking of? I just rediscovered it in a stack of books I have scattered about just the other day & have been revisiting it.

[@rhaven50]

MoJo7Crow I could't honestly say who the author is. It is in storage. I read it a few years ago :)

[@twilightmoon5840]

rhaven50 what was tye name of the book she wrote, as I need it! I dont know how to Transmute negative energy instead it lettumg ot just go threw me it sticks me giving me physical sickness or what we known as empath sickness

TRUE EARTH BEAUTIFUL GOOD WITCH

[@Tigerpaws9097826]

Thank you very, very much for this message, Tylluan. I made a casual choice to listen to it, and discovered it was something I very much needed to hear. Others I've heard address the empathic nature of some of us tend to regard being an empath as an asset overall, accompanied by a degree of vulnerability that requires boundary-setting and protection. The emphasis you placed early on here that an overly empathic nature might be more of a detriment than an asset shocked me awake, and I found myself listening more closely to your advice than what I've heard from others. I'd share more, but am a bit reluctant to get too deeply personal in a public forum. I'll just just add that I found this message of tremendous personal help, and am very grateful. -- Todd

[@tylluanpenry3233]

Thank you Todd, it's because I've received many emails from people who wonder whether in fact their 'blessing' can have a dark side that I decided to record this video. I'm so glad you found it helpful. Thanks for stopping by to leave feedback, much appreciated. Blessings, Tylluan :-)

[@crystalconfidant3687]

Love your video wisdom! About "Sensitive Teeth"... a teaspoon of Coconut Oil swished in mouth has been more effective to me than the flouride-laden sensitive toothpastes. Didn't mean to step in out of place here; I couldn't help myself/smiles from California!

[@hamishdeh5985]

hi tylluan as someone who considers myself an empath and a wight and a long term viewer I am afraid to say i disagree with you here though at the beginning and when one doesn't know one is a empath it can be much as u described as being completely open very rapidly after u research the condition one can easily put up empathic blocks or walls thus allowing you to make choices and function relatively normally this is not to say that in extreme circumstances these will always work i.e. when someones crying or mad or having a nervous break down in the other room u will probably still be able to feel it but in my case at least by applying these blocks the feelings lessen and sometimes subside i infant think if anything that my empathic traits helped me into the path of whichtcraft I'm not going to call myself a wight as i am only a few months practiced but i feel that connection to the earth humanity and the heavens in my emotional body has helped would love to hear back from you love all your work and dw this doesn't change my view on you and i will contunie to wait eagerly for your next video yours Hamish 9 9 1999

[@ashmayberry906]

I'm very much an empath. My doctor calls it being extremely hyper-sensetive, and it really is awful! I find myself getting so caught up with other peoples pain and hurt that it blocks out every other energy coming from them, and its led to me being taken in and tricked by some very nasty people. Even when someone's hurt me or put me in danger I sometimes still feel so guilty because I can sense them hurting and feel I should be helping them I some way; even if the way they act on their paint has an negative impact on me.

[@sollysmum]

Hi Tylluan, this has really hit home to me. I’m struggling to protect myself from someone very close to me who can be quite cruel . I think that he has some psychic power that he’s not aware of ? Either that or he’s very intuitive. Do you think someone is capable of psychic attack on some sort of subconscious level ? And if so is it harder to protect yourself from something so chaotic ? Much love

[@dochenry9312]

Absolute truth. Ty.

[@tylluanpenry3233]

+doc henry Thank you! I appreciate the feedback! Blessings, Tylluan :-)

[@AmazinqCutie]

I'm an empathetic person. I feel and sense things within people. However, I've also been called a psychic and medium. I don't know what I am but I do know that I feel or sense spirits, dream premonitions and certain animals fear me or want to growl at me. Weird?

[@tylluanpenry3233]

Not weird at all. We all operate differently, although there are some similarities between certain groups. I've also found that the more we back away from the world and its trivialities, the more our talents for empathy and mediumship seem to grow. Good luck on your path! Blessings, TYlluan :-)

[@AmazinqCutie]

Tylluan Penry Thank you 😊

[@donnakelly6581]

Is it just me or is there a weird background noise like a deep snoring noise that sometimes talks

[@Web_of_the_Spider]

Great video, Tylluan. Sorry I haven't responded in a while, my laptop was playing up. I've been watching your videos on my Kindle, but I'm not very technical so I couldn't comment. Plus I agree with everything you say. I hope you had a blessed Samhain too.

[@TinyFloral]

How would you define an empath?

[@tylluanpenry3233]

I think that part of the problem is that people define it so differently. For me an empath is someone who can experience empathy yet has this under full control. All too often, unfortunately, what starts out as empathy ends up as something else entirely. Blessings, Tylluan :-)

[@twilightmoon5840]

TY for sharing, as I am an Empath, and very open, to the point ehere i crossed my ownself, I am finially out of the mud, but i usually use a spritz bottle with florida water, and black tourmaline chips in it.. i know how to protect myself with oils, and burning resins and herbs, but I dont know how to transmute negative energy which then sticks on me.. sny recommendations on how to transmute

[@tylluanpenry3233]

In my own experience it's really a matter for persistent and thorough cleansing. Often people magically cleanse just once using a single method. If the negativity is really bad then you have to keep at it. Yes, it is tiring, but less tiring than allowing the negativity to persist. And also try exploring whether there is a way of turning the negativity into something positive. Anger, for example, can be turned into a force for good when it's directed at injustice. Hope this helps and best of luck! Blessings, TYlluan :-)

[@twilightmoon5840]

Tylluan Penry TYVM, as that was clear snd broken in lament terms. Who knows why I chose to b sn empath b4 I was born lol. As i do feel cursed, but I also see manh blessing now

[@tylluanpenry3233]

There are always blessings if you keep looking... Blessings, Tylluan :-)

I hated it has made my whole life hell

[@kalunga2126]

Is it possible to completely shut it down? when I was in my early 20s, I couldn't go to hospitals or funeral homes. I would feel like I was going crazy; see and feeling people's craft and or situation. one day a good friend of mine landed in the hospital, I was dreading to go see him at the hospital. I finally work up the nerve and went. As I walked in everything was fine but as I walk to the elevator it started in my stomach. I got in the elevator and skipped my stop. As soon as the last person got out, I spoke firmly and loud and said "stop it, no more will you fill me with this" . It didn't stop right a way but later down in my life, I've noticed that I wasn't picking up on people's grief or sorrow. Now I have to really tap into a person's grief or sorrow, in order to try to help them. Know that I am order, I want to working on controlling it, just so I can help other. How do I go about this? As always a very helpful video, thank you 💖 Bless it be.

[@tylluanpenry3233]

If you feel you have a spirit guide then it may be possible to work with them to keep it under control. Otherwise it is really a question of allowing it to work only when you say so, therefore perhaps have a word or phrase to shut it down. It's not trying to punish you, this talent, it's just like a puppy straining to get off the lead. It sounds to me though as though it's always pretty well controlled - it hasn't gone altogether which is good. Hope this helps a bit! Blessings, Tylluan :-)

[@twilightmoon5840]

Lol, I just rewatched this, and it turned a light switch on, about 5 yrs ago, I had a few psychics message me out of the blue, just from empath sites?? Long ago and they would message me to eat, as that time I was going threw severe trauma once again, but this was the most painful mind spirit and body, as I did get sick. I was going threw a Kukidini awakening wasn’t pleasant, and they kept on telling me I wasn’t ready??? Anyways a medium who ended up being good friends for a bit, apparently no one wanted to tell me I had spiritual attachments and still wouldn’t go threw it, and I don’t share her religion as she talks to angels and Jesus all day when not helping others... Sorry what she said to me ... was that I was more spiritually open than she was. What do you think what she meant by saying that, as I’ve lost contact. I’m not sure if that’s good or bad.

[@megynkelly180]

You're very beautiful. HI sweetie!
