Full Description
While traditional psychics receive mental impressions, empaths naturally have their emotional receptors turned on high. Empathy can give rise to profound healing, love, and spiritual and magickal progression or, if left uncontrolled, it can be a painful experience of emotional overload. Esoteric Empathy teaches readers the ins and outs of empathy and encourages self-awareness through meditation, rituals, and other magickal practices and exercises. This highly accessible book is essential for those whose emotions fuel their spirituality. Whether you experience empathy on a regular basis or simply want to know more about this fascinating topic, this book provides much-needed answers about the emotional abilities that are ushering our species into a new phase of conscious evolution.
