How Empaths Exchange Energy
Can one empath feed off another empath's energy? Yes, and one does not
have to be empath to do that. Though if one is empathic and knows they
intently do so, then one has loads of learning to do, that will have a
most encouraging flow-on. This happens throughout ones life, through
all people we meet. We are "Energy Beings", pure energy, constantly
exchanging energy.

Many power-struggles occur, for example, partners are having words, one
is yelling consistently and the other person sits there quietly, not
knowing what to say for whatever reasons. The one who is quiet is likely
having there energy drawn from them, the one who is yelling is likely
getting more energy from the quiet one. (Most don't realise this is
occurring though).

The quiet one feels depleted of energy and withdraws into deeper
silence even more, while the other one yelling finds they have to burst out
of the house to go 'settle' down, because there anger just seemed to be
fuelled more!

For the one doing the yelling, there may likely be some frustration as
to why the other sits in what appears silent ignorance and purposefully
not wanting to reply, this generally is not the case. Some empath's
will respond by simply saying, "I don't know what to say" and or feel
like they don't know how to express themselves, when it may simply be a
matter of not having any physical energy left to do so. And or retreat
to the room for a nap, feeling completely exhausted in not saying
anything at all!

In this kind of situation, there is no one to blame, when either is not
aware of the energetic-exchange taking place. Raising ones voice again
depletes the energy of another. The louder one gets, the more the
other's head bows, shoulders droop, the eyes loose there sparkle as the
physical body stoops. Bit by bit there energy weakens.

Now it doesn't have to be so dramatic as that, but yes one can feed of
another. If it is to gain personal power over another with intent and
deliberate knowledge of, then it would be worthwhile to change this
rapidly, for it will eventually backfire! However if the exchange of
energy is neutral, loving etc than that is a 2-way flow, which is beautiful
for all concerned. But if one is taking and not giving well obviously
one party is going to suffer.

This is more apparent when one partner or person is continuously
dominant, authorative, demanding with little to no regards to how they make
the other feel. Some people actually do enjoy being in this position,
it makes them feel good, powerful, controlling. And others even get
paid for having such a demeanour about them!

Though in the general overview, most people that are such don't realise
that they are drawing the energy from another, because the whole energy
process is not part of our normal vocabulary and or understanding, let
alone upbringing. If a person does know and understand (they do exist
for sure), then the intent is not one to get mixed up in!

Can it help a relationship to flow better in being aware of such
'power-struggles?' Yes, indeed, and one does not have to be empathic either
to take heed. Being aware of what is occurring can help both partners
to NOT be in control, to not be demanding and argumentative. Honestly
when a partner knows and can see clearly they are drawing the 'life' out
of there loved one (for example), would they continue to do so?
Knowing that there actions are likely why the other just doesn't have the
energy to express themself, is more than enough to soften ones approach.

Speak gently, listening goes both ways, allow the other to express self
and REFRAIN from offering personal judgment and criticism, (unless you
are open to taking it back). Be gentle in voice, body, actions and
thoughts, and allow a 2-way flow on.

If you know of someone who may find themselves in this situation often,
and yet not realise what is going on, shedding some gentle light on the
matter may very well help them!

Rethink and redo it so that one isn't feeding off another. Help is
gentle and subtle and in empathy. Putting your self in another's shoes and
helping them with compassionate understanding, goes a very long way
.
If so what would be the outcome and why would this take place? A very
tired, depleted of personal energy person~! Most empath's are very
affectionate, loving, vibrant people who are FULL of energy, and others
sense this (even if they don't know, it occurs on a sub-conscious level)
and are drawn to empath's like magnets. As though an energy field pulls
others to empath's.

How may I recoup my energy when I feel physically drained? Following
an exhausting week at work, demands for deadlines to be met, frantic
colleagues, stressed bosses, over anxious partners. Many empaths feel the
need to retreat & may feel pulled to nature, a 'must get out there and
re-coup ones energy' NOW!

Everything IS energy a more aware empath will know what makes them feel
UP and find themselves amongst such often, constantly re-energizing
themselves. Whether it is through a leisurely stroll in the park or on
the beach, sitting quietly beneath a mighty oak, or feeling the tropical
breeze flow around thee, there are many ways in which to recoup.

I always appear to draw negative people to me, why is this occurring?
If a person is negative, and down, they are naturally pulled to one who
is UP, without likely ever knowing they are doing such. They do so to
help them get back up. As though there inner senses automatically know
where an 'upper' sense resides, and there radar hones in without
effort! Heres where the energetic empath comes in!

Being around an empath may not necessarily make them feel positively up
as such, but likely feel energised in another sense. There are some
negative people who will often 'hang-out' with positive people, yet
remain in there negative state because they feel energized around empath's,
they have no need to be up mentally & emotionally so too speak.

That negative person may be reliant on others energy, yet could care
less on changing the attitude or demeanour within self as such. They are
in fact deliberately, (yet likely without conscious awareness of such),
feeding of another.
Another form of a 'Power-struggle' occurring. They get power from
being negative, the 'poor-me' attracts empath's to help them, be there, and
the neg person likes that kind of attention. (Again, the neg person
may likely not know what is occurring).

For the positive empath or person, this can become very depleting.
They may soon feel drained of energy, fatigued to even becoming ill, if
the exchange is frequent. Becoming highly depressed and not know why. An
empath may 'click' without reason and start to notice that a neg person
makes them feel drained and will start to pull back, loose interest, if
not break the relationship entirely.

Unfortunately many empath's find themselves 'stuck' in these kinds of
situations. The caring nature of empath's can have them struggle to
break free, and then find a martyr role has moved in, the times where the
empath feels like they are 'wearing the whole world on there
shoulders!'

Perhaps explaining to the other what is occurring in a subtle and
gentle way may help them to help self, and allow the relationship to grow.
Intent is always important, ones awareness of there intent will tell
you a lot about the whole situation. Energy exchanges occur throughout
everything we do, though most do not even consider such, let alone
choose to be aware of when, why and how.

Energy everywhere - in all things. With numerous, countless examples,
I could quite easily go on and on *winks*! Energy exchanges are not
negative; it is how they are used that makes the difference.
