Empath Traits and Tips

I came across an article on the internet recently titled What is an Empath? and I had to share. It's one of the most detailed descriptions I've come across describing Empaths. She also lists 30 of the most common traits of an Empath. What amazes me is that this article describes me so well. At the time I read this article there were 725 comments on it. Although I didn't read all of them, I read a lot of them, and it was apparent that many other Empaths felt exactly the same way; even down to most of us not agreeing with only one of the 30 traits, which was the same one -- trait number 28. Very interesting.

I also recently received some great self care tips for the new year especially for Empaths and Highly Sensitive People from Colette Baron-Reid. Check those out here.

Indigos

I love it when I come across great descriptions of Indigos by other people. It helps me in explaining to others what it means. Although there is much more depth to it than this, the following description sums it up in a general nutshell. I totally identify with it! It was written by Charles Virtue, son of author Doreen Virtue. Charles is an Indigo.

"The term Indigo refers to strong-willed, intuitive leaders of all ages. Indigos have an inborn ability to sense whether someone is telling the truth or not, and they only respect people who are honorable, regardless of age, title or rank. Because of their non-conformity, Indigos often buck the system....which is part of their global mission to bring truth and integrity to this world."
