I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders. Extremely depressing but I send love and light to everyone and I try my hardest to stay grounded. I also feel a pull to the world . I want to run to the people that are hopeless, down and saddened. I want to offer everyone a hand . I always did but now I feel I need to self love more than anything so I can be healthy and have the strength to help others and animals and be less absorbent of peoples energies. Live and light to everyone! Namaste
I look at you as the ambassador of empaths. Thank you for this sneak peak and enlightening talk. ♥️
Being in a group helps you depression thank you KK California
Sharing is caring, love is truth, this resonates Mammoth, Judith dear generous soul, blessings to you.
I thought it was just me who felt that this time we're in, is a reset button to reflect more within. Surprisingly, I never thought I'd adjust to the distancing! It's such a good feeling and a breath of fresh air knowing that I can have my "space" both physically and energetically! Not having other's energy smack my own chakras like before. It was like I was a tiny boat riding the wave of other's issues and energy. It was sooo hard to stay grounded. I've never thought I'd reach this stage of having and owning my space! Thank you Judith for posting this topic during this time!!
I am listening to The Empaths Survival Guide and I was surprised to see the suggestion of attending 12 step meetings. I’ve been for over 15 years and I feel that being in meetings has done so much damage to me on an empath level. I can feel everything that goes on in the meetings from innuendoes, to favoritism, to attaching, to others I’ll will. With the pandemic I started doing the zoom ones and still the same thing. I now only do phone meetings.
i just started listening to the book and wondered about this as well.
At approximately 12:00 on as Judith speaks of taking on the pain of others I felt myself trying to ' go into Denial". Thank you so much for your words. I have found great help in Al-Anon books and meetings which by Loves guidance I've adapted to being me- what I now know is Empath. Thank you for your help and support!
You talk about the light
I believe in the light of Jesus Christ and his sacred heart is full of compassion for us and our suffering - if we only ask him through prayer we will feel this love
Bless you ❤️
By God's Grace I know God will intervene for us. For anyone of us who only says, "please help me, I'm ready, or Willing to do anything you ask." God loves us enough not to leave us without help.
Peace
You’re information has been life saving! I was told or felt I was wired wrong. My life coach pointed me to you. I was explaining to her I feel such responsibility for the state anyone else is in. It is exhausting!
Lisa, I know what you mean. I was guided to "boundaries" I first learned of them in a Al-Anon meeting. I can say no now when it is not possible to help someone because they don't want help. I can say no to energy vampires. I can realize someone is abusive and say no to them. I can remove myself from unhealthy emotional, or physical, or psychic situations. But, it took some counseling. I was a lost lonely scared child and had to teach myself how to survive as a Empath in a world of "tigers". But now I'm here learning about my needs, boundaries and getting tools. I hope you find your best tools and boundaries before you build brick walls... God bless you
Social distancing is really good for empaths :) We inhale LIGHT and deeply exhale stress in form of smoke . May our meditation always prosper ... may all be GROUNDED and protected by the mother Earth and bright space .
Dude... You lost me with your last several words..but I know our planet has many different expressions of the same Deep abiding Peace+Love which desires to assist us each individually yet as we are All linked as one entity.. Peace of mind and Unity to You😊
I had taken all my families pain when my father died but for empaths is not a good thing, and there is no way i am going to release this emotion I had carrying inside me for almost 5 years, for others its burden but for me it helped me to utilize negative energy and fully harmonize both Positive and Negative utilize it at the same time, and i was able to go beyond my limitations and overcome the weaknesses of being an empath. I remember the late great Bruce Lee Quotation “If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.”
II am a sensitive empath since a child. I was watching the CPAC in Florida on TV, and by the second day I felt so low and helpless and depressed from all the conservative speakers who were talking about all the negative cultural and political issues in this world. It was way too much and I was depressed for 2 days. I should have known not to watch any news of state of the nation, totally overwhelming. So this video by Dr. Judith Oroloff is so helpful and welcoming, especially from her book, "Thriving As An Empath: 365 days of Self-Care for Sensitive People."
Not listening to the news, .........and not looking at all the health gobbledegoo on youtube or anywhere! Decreased stimulation. Thank you Judith!
Thank you Judith for your time and guidance.
I love your guide book for empaths and I love your you tube videos! where have you been all my life!!? lol
I just discovered your book “Emotional Freedom” and I just want to say thank you so much for all the work you. Thank you thank you thank you!
Thank You Dr. Judith Orloff for helping me to understand myself. As I am understanding what being an Empath means you are helping me understand myself more so I can continue growing and have a balanced life. I just purchased your book The Empath’s Survival Guide and It’s helping me understand how to navigate my stuff and other peoples stuff. I look forward to purchasing you other books like the one you are talking about today. 2023
I am like Wow! This is amazing ! I just found out at 64 years old . I knew I was very different from most man ! OMG ! This is so powerful ! I am not along my !I love myself or I would not have made it !
Nice. Lol. I found out before 40. ;)
What do you do for work?
I Hear you! I'm 53 and just found this stuff. I have always thought I was All Alone. I have always thought I would do much better out in outer space because humans just weren't all "right".. Judith is good but I'm grateful for all the Empath books and videos out on the internet. Peace to you and thank you for your words
I have all Judith Orloff's great books. She is wonderful !
:)
Mind blowing. Thank you. I’m also finding it interesting how articulate empath commenters seem to be.
I'm doing good during the "shelter in place" quarantine. The only things I have trouble dealing are the news outlets & social media platforms. The anxiety is ridiculous so I have to step away from them for a while.
So agree! The thing that stresses me is having to listen to the news to stay on top of the shifting rules so I don't get a fine when a new rule is introduced and I'm not aware of it. I hardly ever listened to the news before Covid19 came along, but the rules constantly change and many come with heavy fines if you don't comply, so...I have to ingest the negativity to not get penalized!
Thank you! Its nice to know I'm not the only one. I know there's a lot of people doing Good things. But the news always focuses and Highlights the Horrific.
I have to stop for days at a time so I can recharge and meditate, relying on God's Love to remember insanity isn't our only trait. Then I watch the news again.
I have this need to know who's in need.
I can pray. I know it helps --because I have literally felt the immediacy of others prayers in my times of need or difficulty.
Plus by complete accident or algorithm I was led to these videos. I never knew I was a Empath. I have always known I was different and lonely. But, reading the comments section let's me know we are "out there". But percentage wise we are not likely to be close. I ramble on.
Peace of mind to you 😊
Tempirance, I love your music choices! I subscribed because I do the same thing. Music is beautiful way to reach people. It's always been so super charging for my soul. Especially if it's been a energy vampires day.
Thank you
Peace
Thank you .....thank you.....thank you 🥰
This is constructive help and also comforting to me, Ms. Orloff. I appreciate you. Thank you!
Most times i go to nature to feel better and doing meditation to 🙏
I feel like you’re my soul aunt lol I feel you & I appreciate you, thank you for sharing & helping empaths find clarity
God is with us. Amen!!!
Thank You - You are a very bright light shining with encouragement and tremendous love reaching to the core of my soul in Louisiana - getting hit hard here - so grateful to feel I am not alone!!!
Me too. I read these comments because I don't know any other Enpaths but I feel great comfort knowing we all have similar feelings and thoughts 😊
Feels nice in here! 🙏🦋☮️✨ Thank you..
So timeless and important.
Now and then❤🌎❤
Thankyou so MUCH!!!
You are a spectacular light☀
The Great Creator is in control of everything.
Thank God for Love. I think of God as Love. Not as we humans "try" to show it..but the Wholeness, Fulfilling, True, flowing, All touching All uniting Love which fills All and answers All...
I hope you find Peace.
Still having a hard time realizing the reality of this. Self help previously was, "Can't save everybody" which was a horrible way to handle this. I understand now. Thank you
Good morning Dr. Orloff and God bless you... #3
YES! Thank you for your loving words. You look natural on camera and I can feel the wisdom in your words and vibe. Blessings! I also love Taoist practices and teachings!!
Did the heart meditation and my hands were so warm it felt like they were burning like putting your hands next to a campfire. So beautiful and a really helpful meditation for centering which is just what I needed
My husband is up my nerves. He watches the news 24/7 and constantly yelling at us to wash our hands and criticizing my cooking or housework. I am teaching online all day with classes back to back with no break and he’s worried if I folded a towel. I tried the Bible and the shield but LAWD! I am holed up in my room trying to get around his negativity.
Sorry, hon. I hope he has calmed now, and you have a bigger space.
Hope you’re doing okay now
Same here. Don't worry.
Thank You So Very Much!!
I definitely know the earth is being purifies.
Dear beautiful souls,
Sending love and light from my heart to yours❤🙌💙🙏🌈😻🦋💜🌺
Thank you that helps me a lot 🙏
Thank You! 💛🙏🌻🦋😇
Glad find you here
Totally feel better as empath social distancing! Most time anyway, as long as I make time in nature!!
I do to mostly.. but I know when I do go out. Like to the library or a store. Or somewhere my friends are. It's like just being near people fills me with energy? This is a new discovery. I'm not taking, or stealing their energy. But being there, just listening. Or if I "hear" a answer- sharing it. I am fed in some deeply personal way. I'm so grateful the algorithm said check out empath stuff. I didn't Know! It blows me away reading other people who think as I do. I sincerely hope you have a beautiful growing experience. Peace
Thank you so much Judith! I have all your books and recommend them highly. Thank you too for your wonderful facebook group as well. It is so awesome to have other empaths to connect with. I felt so all alone in the world until you came along. Now I know I have a tribe!
Thank you. When I can I'm going to check out her Facebook page. I'm knew to knowing about being a Empath. I just always knew I never met anyone who was like me. I love how Judith described it Exactly like I thought. " It's like I'm an alien here on Earth." She blew me away.
Good evening Dr. Judith... and God bless you... #3
Thanking you so much for ur kindness and genorosity
Thank you, teacher
Thank you!
I find I sponge everything it makes me drop fit so nice to hear there are others
Thanks Judith, I feel a lot of connection to the Earth since my childhood. I feel this social distancing is so useful, I needed it a lot. Thanks for the book as I everyday go through everyday's intentions....and they work awesome. I am so grateful to you for that. I was having a very hard time to set limits and with your guidance it is helping me a lot. Thanks a lot Judith.
I pray a lot, the feeling and knowing that there is a higher power helps a lot to control my attitude.The self affirmations are so helpful.I used to take so much of pain from others and especially with by BF, I absorbed his negative energies and positive to such an extent that I started living his life. Hardly did I realise that it was not my work and I suffered myself for so many years and after I came to explore your book....The Ecstasy of Surrender and Empath's Survival guide, I figured out that I am a full blown empath and what was happening to me since my childhood. I am so blessed that I came to explore your books. Thanks a lot and Luv u.I am trying to explore more about my sensitivities.
I am so glad that I found you.
I'm glad i found you. I'm looking for friends. I know it's too forward but just speaking my mind.
Hi, Nice. I love the feeling of PEACE. Amen!!!
Thank you for this.
I am now working from home...which i love.
I am blessed to still have a job.
But am having huge issues with my work going over the top on digital connections.
The expectation to zoom, skype, teamspace video call is overwhelming.
Having all that energy beaming into my private santury is hard.
I feel like the odd one out as i don't need that level of connections.
God -(Love) bless you. I'm so sorry for the energy intrusion into your space.
I hope you discover a tool here or at another Empath site that helps. There are some really great ones out "there"
Thank you for being you Judith. Your honest work has given me hope. I’m an empath who takes on other people’s emotional pain. I have that myself but I have this cross to bear. Even my cat doesn’t escape my intuitive attention I feel she needs. I have to stop and start over again and not give my power away. I’ve tried everything. Even now I want these chains off me. My therapist ask me why I’m caring my dead husband pain around. And I was. Thank God she labeled that. I work hard doing & reading so to help myself it does help a bit but deep inside I carry his pain & my pain & everyone’s pain. I need real help
Same here.
Flo, your getting counseling. You will find your boundaries and healthy tools. We can be Empaths and say no to those who just take, we can learn tools to leave the unhealthy emotional pain or to release the unhealthy pain out into the universe without causing any harm.. I know as long as you keep trying and learning your going to find the tools and strength and healthy boundaries you hope for..😊
Judith Orloff,
It has taken 60 years to this point, I have developed a process I call the CURE it is a body crystal rendering, will talk more time limited now, love your light just found you, I will review all your works, thankyou for sharing.
Lost for words!
She is great.
Thank you!!
Sending love around the world
Phew finally yes I'm knackered and feel sick
That was excellent and very helpful!
How can we discern Guts from Fear?
Sometimes what seems to be guts is fear and what seems to be fear is guts.
Wha-- What what??? I know fear. It's not anything like guts. I often need guts to face fear, or friends or family to just be quiet comfort.. but maybe I'm just bit hearing this quote right yet..
Thank you god bless you
If I heard you speak 10 or 20 years ago, I would think you are cuckoo. Now, I am like yes this is totally me! I believe it is because my chakras were closed and I was walking around depressed and anxious and in body pain. Now, I am actually meditating and going to a reiki and buying spiritual and empathic books and saving station... I am listening to speakings of those with gifts. I have started an anxiety medication and cbd and it helps tremendously. I would have never tried holistic methods and now I am obsessed with integrative medicine! This pandemic has brought major anxiety and panic attacks that the US is going to have a civil war and the world has started the apocalypse!!! I am slowly feeling better this last month which is giving me the time and energy to practice meditation. THANK YOU for speaking to ME at this exact moment in my life. It is Sunday April 11. 2021!
Thank you for such a wonderful video ✨
My husband is definately an empath. It causes harm to him. It makes me so sad he needs pointers on how to make himself an empowered empath.
Your response sounds very empathic..or compassionate..either way-- thank you for trying to find tools for him
I’m sitting here smiling because August 18 is my birthday! Yes, I’m in the right place.
Reluctance to express my needs
I wish there was a different word other than empath. It seems like when we use that word, other people take it as we think we are something extra special and have special powers.
Empaths in a way do have special powers or if not powers, the ability to sense things and people non-empaths DO NOT AT ALL and are surprised at how circumstances unfold when empaths saw it or sensed it clearly from the beginning.
Crazy name I see 77 all the time and 27 and 127
@@rosej5029 thank you. I'm so grateful to read your words. They are my experience too. But I have never met anyone who understands. Especially when I tell someone, explain why I'm calm before the storm hits.
Even after the stuff happens these other people can't see"it". So confusing till now. 😊
Thank you for this. I value being informed as well, and yet - balance is a full-time task, especially lately. But, I think I can hold out for a while longer - I gotta lotta ammo: "The Complete Far Side" - Volume 1980-1986 and Volume 2 1987-1994 - Gary Larson is patient zero for my disease... Right now, it is like nutrition for me, actually. ;-)
Ty so much for this video ❤️☺️
:)
I'm very social!
Thanks 🙏🏻 Agree. Very similar with Thich Nath Hahn.
Thank you god bless you y0u are best
I am a clerk at a hospital. I find it so hard to protect myself from all the energy in and around the hospital. I come home and am exhausted. I want to eat and drink to numb myself. HOW do i protect myself? Please help me
What reassuring words! It has puzzled me why I have been feeling been feeling so calm lately, especially because I do feel the pain. Do you think we can use this time to Declare Peace on the world, and from our isolation craft a plan to mindfully dismantle the war machine? Am I delusional to think this is our big chance?
Thanks for posting this video on UA-cam. I am starting to own the fact that I am an empath and reading "The Empath's Survival Guide" - Learning how to take care of myself as an empath. Is there an online community of empaths anywhere that I can join?
I read in another commitment that there might be Facebook pages for us... But I don't know for sure.. good luck!
It made me cry really hard….I’m not sure why 😭
Hi from Simi valley, California... ---> Samuel
Hi, I appreciate for your the title of the book. Thanks.
I love to help people be around people gives me joy. At same time i just get negative feelings from some people. they act & say nice things but without them saying a negative word i don't like the feeling to be around them until i pushed myself to the point of emotional stress without realizing. A couple years ago i came across your book thank you so much it gave me so many aha moments of what i was dealing with & how to handle it. It helped me to set boundaries started to say no, be ok to be alone to protect my peace as I'm emotional sponge still need to work on myself on emotional healing as you call it from emotional hung over. Your book is helpful thank you
Wishing you well from one Habesha to another. I appreciate what you have written.
@@Eden_WE Thank you Eden haftey. I'm doing well just needed to balance my priorities and set boundaries these book helped big time at the time. I know how our culture is we tend to forget to take of ourselves as we give priorities to our loved ones needs. Stay well and be safe sis. Take care of yourself 🙏💕
I think being an empath is constant self work...we're never truly done...as there's so many things bombarding us.
The spirit is connected to the psyche. In turn it thus works like a key to change/transmute/shield.
I need that book thank you
Me too.
I'm from Va.
🙏🏻🌻🙏🏻🌻🙏🏻
I am sensetive and people mistake me with having a mental disorder.
Hi from madison fl
I don't hang with people that make me uncomfortable. Period.
Me too. It is draining.
We need to talk!
I crave human contact but I need to cool down afterwords; like you said. This will be what time of empath?
❤️
We need a regular therapist as empath.
Judith,
Thank you so much for this video❣I've been feeling disconnected from myself & keep feeling like I can't even go out to work unless I'm all good & everything's cleaned & organized since I got so behind due to some illness. It's been overwhelming! And it affects my productivity level/ how much I earn. How do I navigate through this? Positive Suggestions are welcomed ❣❣❣
break everything down in small steps then go to work n like Dr Orloff said be gentle w yourself
Avalon,
I hope you felt encouraged ❣Were you referring to your having a different belief system? If so, it wasn't my intent to offend you or anyone in any way. I can only share authentically from what I possess & experience. This is where I get my peace, hope in the midst of tough times to keep going❣ I don't want to tell you to go to something else that can only be temporary. Anyway, you have free will & I hope you're able to order what you need & have them deliver or have someone help with stuff around your home? Wishing you peace & 💝
i am empath, but i don't get stressed and don't get drained even though i don't know how to ground and shield myself from negative energy.
What do you do when you get burnout from your job and get stressed out,headaches and achy chest everyday do you stay at that job or early retire
How could I missed it?
Very similar to Thich Nath Hahn my Thay
I don’t want to feel that again!! And when he attacks her I might! Really bad pain! Don’t know who else to talk to!
I need a mental health evaluation to get my kids back. How can you help me?
Hi , Love Your Work,,. Dont understand some of your Vocab
It is nice that you are being honest.
Empaths can absorb emotions from film &T.V. WHY AND how to stop it.
Hi Judith, my name is Renee, I’d like to participate in your program, I will download the book on audible, and listen to it, but my needs a very specific, due to disability, and other mental health issues. I’m wanting to start a podcast, reaching out to people with special needs, people with physical mental psychological sensory disabilities like myself, I am a masters degree trained position, but I am really going through a very difficult time emotionally and physically. I am an older woman, I need support so I can support others, in a professional capacity in a personal capacity. Like lots of people, I am struggling with the basic needs of life, and until I can work out a situation or circumstance starting my podcast, gaining monetization, and getting physical help to make it happen because I am blind, an older woman, and I’m not so technically savvy. If someone could reach out to me I would so appreciate it, I’m asking for a hand up, not a handout, or not charity. I have so many messages to pass on, so many people who I believe need to be loved, cared for, excepted, cherished, and understand that they matter, and that they were divinely created, regardless of physical mental psychological sensory disability, ageism, and other factors that make their life a little more difficult or a little more harder to cope with or deal with. I am definitely in an empath in many ways, and I’ve been really feeling what’s been going on for the past three or four months. Not only am I blind, I deal with mental illness on a daily basis, but I know that it has to do with brain health, and I need help figuring this out as far as brain and got health, and the other psychological things which go along with the physical body. Please reach out to me or have someone reach out to me, I was going to doThe program that you are beginning on the shift network, but to be honest with you I’m between eating, and going forward in my profession, as a psychotherapist, as a coach, as a disability advocate, as an older woman, someone who can educate, teach, encourage, and support people with special needs or people of difference. Thank you, hoping to hear from someone in your office or to and more information and perhaps a personal contact. Blessings to you and all that you do and who you are, I so believe it’s 65 years old that I have so much to offer, but I don’t know how to offer it, I don’t know how to monetize from it, I don’t know how to get the physical podcast going although I recorded several that need to be shared, and I really believe there’s a population of people including all the people struggling with aging and all those other things that happen women, and people with special needs who need a hand up, who need encouragement, who do you like, who need help, but need plans to take action, but until I get help to understand my own Journey and path I can’t be there for others until my physical needs are taken care of, until my psychological needs are taken care of and I get the help I need to be psychologically more prepared, to deal with physical disabilities including diabetes, and other things it’s not gonna happen. I’m sorry for the desperation in my post, but I am kind of desperate due to my age, time in life, and other things, and I so know in my heart that this was one of my purposes for a living, in addition I am a cancer survivor, so I understand a lot of things from many different perspectives or levels. Please have someone reach out to me if you get this message. And I can give you my home information thank you so very much, and blessings
Hello Judith. It appears that you're doing very well with your teachings. I've never liked the term "EMPATH". It has "Hokey Pokey" mystical horse crap associated with the term. I wish I had a better name for this special personality type, buuut, I don't. There is absolutely nothing magical about it. It only appears to non-empaths to be a psychic gift. It is neither psychic in nature or a gift. Many people (who watch too many movies ) wish they could be an empath but they don't really understand what it is they're wishing for. I've read statistics stating that 1-2% of the population are empaths. From my personal experience it's more like 1/2 %. I rarely run across them and when I do we both know without saying a word to each other, just a small barely noticeable smile at each other. Nowadays everybody thinks they are an empath. I guess it sells books and seminars but 99% of the people claiming to be....are not. Frankly most of them just plain would not be able to handle it. An empath can spot a "wanna be" empath in the blink of an eye so those that think they are fooling someone, you are only fooling the non empaths. We (empaths) don't read your energy, your aoras, chakras, or any of that other crap. Subconsciously I listen to every word you say, which words you choose, what order you put them, where you place the emphasis, facial expressions so small and insignificant that no one else in the room would ever see it even on slow motion film. We read your body language , your breathing rate, perspiration rate, your heart rate all without thinking about any of it. Personally I believe it's just a survival skill a rare few individuals are born with. I didn't realize until I was in my 20's that no one else could do this. In the beginning I thought it was a gift because I could help people and that's why I became a Doctor of Chiropractic. Soon I would begin to think of my abilities as a curse. I have suffered tremendously over the years. I sometimes still wish I was normal for ignorance is bliss!
Dr. Ron
As empath, we suffer a lot.
What should I do, if, people think differently about me?
That is their problem....not yours. Not everyone will like you, its just a part of life
How are you doing today and how was your Thanksgiving?
