A hero's journey (Journey of An Empath)
Posted on June 21, 2023 by Dwight D LaVan, One of Thousands of Spirituality Coaches on Noomii.
Being an empath is not a weakness, it is a strength like no other, and it can bring a powerful healing to those in need.
A hero’s journey is not an easy one, we tend to seek adventure, we have no fear, nor a sense of danger. That is until we hit rock bottom, after we have tried everything under the sun, lost all our closest relationships, and our most prized possession. Ourselves, or so we think, that is when we heroes begin to look back at our past actions, where we got it wrong at, and how to fix it. We then begin to do the challenging work of rebuilding ourselves, piece by piece, not sure if we will ever achieve the goal that we want so badly. Remember? We lost our most prized possession (ourselves).
But you know the funny thing about us heroes? We never take no for an answer, we want to try it out for ourselves. You see, after trying different religions, going through one failed relationship attempt, after another, abusing prescription drugs, and hitting a complete spiritual bankruptcy. It was not until I finally came to know the God of my own understanding, that I experienced true spiritual freedom. I will tell you, you cannot have any type of healthy relationship, if you do not first have one with yourself. That is why I am a firm believer of self-love, because it was the love for myself, that allowed me to accept the genuine love from my Creator, I call him God.
Through His love, I was able to clear out all that unnecessary baggage that held me back. As a Heyoka Empath, I realized that I had to become emotionally intelligent, for me to not take on the emotions, thoughts, and opinions of others. I had to become my true authentic self, for me to experience freedom on this Earth. I want to help you find the hero in you, are you ready?
