An empath is a special form of psychic individual who deeply experiences the emotions, physical sensations of other people. Empaths are hard-wired at birth to be able to perceive other people as if they were in the other person's body. It is more than being just a sensitive person, because it involves the full spectrum of experiences, emotions, feelings, thoughts, and perceptions. Empaths know from experience that we really are all one!

Being grounded and in your body - and being a skilled empath or HSP - means that you are constantly engaged in a conversation with your body. Being grounded may not seem very "sexy," and yet it's being asked of all of us for optimal use of our spiritual gifts. And, paradoxically, the more grounded we are, the more intuitive we become & the more "light" we can carry for others!

Skilled empaths, in order to serve humanity, become vigilant about the energy that we perceive from our body. We speak and have conversations with our chakras, our solar plexuses, and our organs, and they respond! This constant conversation and dialogue is otherwise known as "being grounded."

To promote this wonderful conversation with your body, here's a quick biofeedback exercise that you can do right now:

1) Close your right nostril and breathe fully in through the left nostril. To what degree is it blocked?
2) Close your left nostril. Breathe fully through the right nostril. Notice any blockages.

The nostrils correspond to the opposite side of the brain. Thus, a free flowing left nostril shows that you are flowing freely in your spiritually-connected, creative, right brain. A free flowing right nostril shows that you are properly functioning in your Earthly-bound, linear, left-brained personality.

Blockages in either nostril help show us what we need to work on at any given time. Balanced nostrils reflect balanced energy in our bodies (mental, spiritual, physical, emotional). Unbalanced nostrils reflect unbalanced energy in our bodies.

Living a good life as a grounded empath is possible for you! It just requires a bit of practice and repetition of rituals that help you become friends with your greatest tool - awareness of your body. Master that, and you've mastered most of what being a skilled empath is all about. Being "in your body" means that you'll be able to answer the all-important question "is this feeling coming from me, or is coming from someone else?".

This little exercise above is among countless others covered in my book package "The Complete Empath Toolkit.". It includes 8 hours of audio instruction, two eBooks, and a special invitation to a seminar event. These types of strategies are also taught in my popular online class "The Empath Academy."
