Being an empath in NYC can be challenging. Believe me, I’ve lived here my entire life. Especially being in crowded places it can be very overwhelming. One thing for sure I’ve learned was to leave anything and everything behind that gives off negative energy. No matter who the person is (family/best friends) NO! this doesn’t mean you are better than them, It just means you’ve opened a gateway where lower frequencies aren’t allowed in your life anymore.
Keep on prospering!

How does one know he or she is an empath?
It’s a long but good read 🙂 http://themindunleashed.org/2013/10/30-traits-of-empath.html
It was an interesting article. I believe I am an empath too.
Welcome to the Empath World :p
I enjoyed the article in the link above – it’s dead on. This is something I’ve just realized about myself within the past couple years, and it sure explains many things. Any advice for dealing with someone at work who REALLY gives off some bad and annoying energy?
Thanks for taking your time and reading the other article… the best advice I can give is kill them with kindness 🙂
