If you've ever walked into a room and instantly sensed the energy shift, or found yourself absorbing others' emotions as your own, you might be an empath or highly sensitive person. You're not imagining it—and there are gentle, grounded ways to work with your sensitivity.

Common signs you're an empath or highly sensitive person
Social events leave you completely drained
Other people's moods become yours, and you need hours or days to recover your energy and feel like you again.
Setting boundaries feels impossibly hard
Saying "no" triggers overwhelming guilt, even when you know you're giving too much. But who is taking care of you?
Your space (or body) feels heavy
You sense lingering energy from stress, arguments, or other people. Even your pets seem affected by the energy around you.
If you're nodding along, you might be experiencing the world as an empath or highly sensitive person—and there are grounded, practical ways to honor your sensitivity while protecting your energy.

This work is personal
For years, I absorbed everyone's emotions without realizing it. I said yes when I meant no. I felt exhausted and didn't understand why.
After a profound spiritual awakening in 2019, everything shifted—I learned to honor my sensitivity while protecting my energy, and began exploring my Karay-a (Visayan/Filipino) and Cumbrian (English) ancestral healing practices.
Now as a certified Usui Reiki Master/Teacher, Animal Reiki Master/Teacher, and intuitive practitioner, I support others who are navigating this same journey.
