Are you an Earth Empath? If you are, you are highly attuned to the full moon and earth changes.
“Earth empaths are a special type of empath who is keenly attuned to the natural world and all of the Earth’s changes.
How do you know if you are an earth empath?
You are highly sensitive to intuiting the Earth’s changes in your body. Sensually and energetically, you can feel the power of a thunderstorm, the loveliness of the moon, the warmth of the sun on your shoulders.
What happens to the Earth is intimately connected to your body.
The beauty and health of the earth nourishes and sustains you. The ocean and tides affect everyone, but especially you.
The moon and the tide regulate menstrual cycles in women and sleep-wake cycles for both genders.
You are sensitive to weather changes and the amount of daylight. Earth empaths may experience Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), becoming depressed in the winter when the days are shorter.
The earth, its elements, and the universe feel like family.
The moon and stars have always been my companions.
Since childhood, I’ve looked up at the heavens and felt that my true home was there. (One patient told me that she prefers stargazing as her “night life” instead of bars and clubs.)
But, interestingly, I’ve found that empaths, like myself, who have a hard time adjusting to being on this planet, need to connect to the earth’s energy so that we can more fully inhabit our bodies.
Learning how to do this (and not fighting it) is part of our healing.
The Earth loves you. You can feel it. If you’re an earth empath, that’s why you get so hurt, anxious or have health problems when she is harmed or destroyed.
Your body is intimately connected to the Earth.
You experience her changes as if they were happening to you. When the Earth is happy, you are happy. When the Earth is in pain, you are too.
Earth empaths may have premonitions about natural disasters or feel them intensely in their bodies as they are occurring.
One patient told me. “I frequently wake up just prior to earthquakes. Then boom, it hits.” Another said, “Before earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, my body begins to shake. I feel ‘off,’ not on solid ground.” Another told me, “During the last tsunami, I awoke from a deep sleep in a state of agitation and dread.” An empathic friend said, “I felt like I was hemorrhaging,” as a response to a catastrophic oil spill. Similarly, try to be aware of how your body reacts during dramatic earth changes.
Then you can put your feelings in context and practice more self-care when they occur.
As an Earth empath, you may also be sensitive to solar flares. These magnetic storms on the sun affect the magnetic fields around the earth and our bodies. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, and tornados appear to occur after intense solar activity.
During these periods, you may experience headaches, mood swings, anxiety, or heart palpations. Studies have shown an association between solar flares and increased depression, anxiety, suicides, and episodes of bipolar disorder. Revolutions, riots, and unrest across the globe are associated with solar flares. Remember, the sun is responsible for life on earth.
When it goes through changes, we feel it 93 million miles away. This experience is amplified for empaths.
To stay vibrant, you want to frequently connect with the Earth. Spend time in forests, by the ocean, or in the mountains where you can commune with the elements and feel at home.
To deepen your bond with the Earth, eat clean, healthy, organic foods (even better, grow them yourself). A junk food diet separates you from the Earth because you’re not ingesting her energy.
Regularly practice Earthing: lie flat on the earth to soak up her positivity and strength. Wade or swim in lakes, rivers, or the ocean. Gaze at the stars. Walk barefoot on the grass.
