Thriving As An Empath: Empowering Your Highly Sensitive Self, Paperback/Abbigayle McKinney

Are you sensitive to other people's energy? Do you avoid crowds? Do you often feel overwhelmed by your emotions? If so, you might be an empath. This practical handbook is a how-to guide for all empaths-whether you've just recently acknowledged your skills or you've known since childhood. Coauthors Trevor N. Lewis and Abbigayle McKinney aren't just interested in identifying what makes an empath. They want to help you channel your energy and perceptions into a useful, productive facet of your life. While empaths, by nature, put other people first, this work extols the virtue of self-care and helps ensure empaths don't get run-down or overwhelmed by their sensitive natures. If you're an empath struggling to find balance in life, look inside to learn all about the simple but revolutionary techniques of shielding, grounding, and releasing. As the world's knowledge base continues to expand, it won't be long before people are fully ready to accept that empaths exist-and that they possess the necessary skills to push our world forward with their wisdom and insight. About the Author Trevor Lewis was born a mystic and has spent a lifetime using multiple personal transformation technologies. His many teachers have been a mixture of Eastern and Western, including some of the best teachers NOT on the planet, who have been giving him some pretty clear instructions to follow in recent years. He left a thirty-seven year information technology career to his true life's work-teaching, speaking, and advocating for empaths across the globe. Abbigayle McKinney knew she was an empath from an early age. Using the trees and plants as her early guides, McKinney was always acutely aware of the world's various energies. She studied plant medicine under a traditional Cherokee medicine man and was later certified as a shaman. She heals her clients through a balanced regime of crystals, sound, channeling, herbs, and more. McKinney also volunteers as a crisis counselor for people struggling through mental illness.
