Anger Release Empowers The Empath

As an empath, I’ve been personally and professionally targeted by others many times in my life. But I am not the only one. These challenges are common among the highly sensitive. Why do sensitives tend to experience so much bullying? I believe we tend to attract it because we are called to support others in balancing their emotions. We are meant to use our gift of empathy to help heal others.

But at times the empath becomes overwhelmed. She is only human and sometimes also needs to vent. Most of all the empath must learn to release anger and other negative emotion she may experience as a result of the injustice, callousness and even cruelty she often tends to suffer.

Unresolved anger is one of the underlying causes for many addictions and dysfunctional behaviors. Anger that leads to a sense of entitlement, and from entitlement comes dissolved hopes and dreams.

If we learn to surrender our egos and release entitlement, then we find the hopes and dreams we’ve lost return to us. Peace is the ultimate foundation of prosperity and well-being. Having peaceful thoughts and kind intentions for everyone invites abundance into our lives.

This doesn’t mean we have to be a ‘doormat’ for others. If we are truly at peace, our higher vibration commands a natural boundary and the Universe fills in the energetic gaps.

For example, while dealing with a difficult person, someone else may come along to interrupt the conversation with some humor. The Universal Spirit naturally intercedes on our behalf once we set good intentions for everyone by releasing our anger and resentment.

Meditation can help us embrace our worries, our fear, our anger; and that is very healing. We let our own natural capacity of healing do the work ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

The empath must therefore learn to take special care of herself through consistent spiritual practice, energy work and self-healing. I find some of the best ways for me to release negative emotion is through journaling, talk therapy, and daily meditation.

Other self-care habits I recommend are smudging your sacred space with sage, diffusing essential oils in your home, and taking Epsom salt baths. There are many other self-care practices that also work very well, so you don’t have to rely on only these. Find something that works for you.

When the empath or sensitive commits to proper self-care every single day, she soon learns that there is no need for her to pick fights or defend herself any longer. The empowered, balanced empath can help heal others without being part of the drama. The truth flows and speaks for itself. Former ‘enemies’ lose their power over us once we take steps to resolve our own negative emotion and release our anger towards them.
