Dealing with emotional energy is the hallmark of our nature; however, it is not what makes you an empath, it is merely a symptom. Empaths are here on planet Earth, in large numbers, at this time in history to DO THEIR WORK. That involves learning to heal ourselves so we can teach others how to live from their heart. That is our work, our why.

Still, we feel “afflicted” with the burden of sensitivity. Because we are lightworkers and our sensitivity tunes us into to the world around us. We are not meant to assimilate into the current world, rather we are meant to shine the light of love into the darkness of self-interest, greed, and power-over.

In shining our light, we dispel that darkness and together we transmute the energy allowing love to come through. For anyone who has ever felt victimized by their sensitivity, I promise you are not meant to be overwhelmed and wounded. You are meant to heal and come alive to your purpose of love in action. 

How each empath is lead to spread love is their work, their purpose, their why. So, if the question is, “Why am I afflicted with sensitivity?” to spread love, is the answer.
