someone said i was an empath...so i took this test...

one thing i know is that life is too short to get all mixed up in someone else's...

i attempt to be ♥ conscious of the energy i am putting out into the world at all times...are you living conciously??? do you stay aware of the energy you put out into the world?

recently a blog visitor asked me if i was an empath...i didn't know what she meant, so i did what i usually do and began to research...and i took this test...

You Scored as Universal You are a Universal Empath, you possess all the qualities of the other seven empath groups. You are what is known as an "Implicate" or Imp, a product of evolutionary design and genetic mutation. You are a psychic hybrid. (from "The Book of Storms" by Jad Alexander at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Empaths/) Universal 100% Healer 95% Artist 90% Judge 85% Precog 75% Fallen Angel 70% Shaman 70% Traveler 65%

not sure i put much stock in this, but i do know that i feel other people's energy and, even worse, their pain...ever since i was a child, i have been very sensitive to the world around me...i absorb the energy of people around me...if you are happy - i am very happy, if you are sad - i am very sad...when i go into a room full of people - the energy fills me and sometimes i get overwhelmed...

the most overwhelming part is feeling the pain of others...i can't even watch a crime show on television because i actually feel the pain of the victim...i absolutely cannot watch boxing or martial arts because i feel every blow...

i just thought i was overly sensitive until my daughter started to develop the same thing...now, i am sure it is a gift...

this has grown as i age...along with the sensitivity has come knowledge...i know when to protect myself and how to stay aware of the feelings and pay attention to when they are overwhelming...i know when to excuse myself and take a few minutes to center my ♥ energy...

am i an Imp, a product of evolutionary design and genetic mutation...well, i will leave that up to your imagination and beliefs...
