First let me say that I was lucky enough to be born very empathic. However,you do not have to be born with this gift to have it and I will explain y. You see, empathy is something that everyone already has, just to varying degrees. In its simplist form, empathy is nothing more than feeling the emotions of others, and thats it. Now, think of how many times that you have actually felt the emotions of someone else...see? You do have some empathic ability! But like I said, that is empathy in its most simplistic form. The logic behind my argument of everyone having empathy is simple enough, we are all energy essentially with our own individual energy patterns varying from one person to another. But just bc our energy patterns differ from each other is irrelavant when it comes to empathy. The reason is because the energy at our core is all the same for everyone. If we are all energy and the Universe is energy as well and with the Universe being the ultimate form of energy we are all connected. It is because of this connection given to us by the Universe that we all have the ability to become empathic.
Now for trying to explain how to build empathy...The easiest way I can think of is with Pscyhological Empathy (Magickal Empathy to me is something different bc it uses the energy of the Universe to connect to others emotions). Psychological Empathy could also b rephrased as observation. Just pay attention to the actions, reactions, and mannorisms of others and you would b amazed at how much you can tell about their emotional state! If you are not naturally strong with magickal empathy, then I would recomend attempting Psychological Empathy first bc it does not require the connection of energy between people. However, if you wish to train and attain empathy as it pertains to most ppl I would recomend first making sure your "Thrid Eye" chakara is open (not going to get into details of how to do that here, with a lil bit of digging it shouldnt b a problem for anyone to find how to do). That chakara is often given credit for giving people psychic sight so to speak (it allows the person to more easily access psychic abilities).
Honestly, beyond that part it begins to get hard for me to describe in words on how to develop empathy. I still do not have total control over mine and I seriously doubt I ever will. To those that wish to bring this ability to the light I would say start using simple observation to gather emotion, mediate of course, and be very careful when actually trying to be empathic (one thing I have noticed is that empathy works best for me when I am not trying to b empathic...if I do try to be empathic my own emotions may sometimes blur the true emotions of the other person)...thanks, hoped this helped...
@ego-less.
Becoming an empath doesn't mean you have to be one by birth.
One can learn his/her emotions then he/she can understand other people's emotion.
Meditation is one good way to do that.We as beings are capable of many things even that of the impossible we perceived as..
