Generally, the Western Medical Society tries to medicate us all while insulting us with the title "crazy." What if I told you that this was all rubbish, you are not crazy, Western Medicine is the issue, and there is a centuries-old cultural and medical explanation for who you are as an Empath? Not only that, but that the explanation does not degrade you, but rather names you beautiful, wise, and one of the most important members to the balance and well-being of all living things, including the human race. I'll go on to tell you that the negativity that you may feel towards being Empathic is simply a lack of understanding, and through reading this text you will have the tools and courage to make changes. Through that process you'll understand why and how you are integral in the workings of society, and if you choose to, you may lead and balance the world in a way that you never thought possible. Embracing your Empathic nature, to become a true Empath may be the key to the best version of yourself. This may affect not only your own wellbeing, but the wellbeing of everyone you come in contact with. In a world that lacks an overall sense of courage, it is in itself a courageous act to love oneself so let's get started!
