103 EMPATHY – Tapping In Without Burning Out
Best of Laura, Episode 103 of The Voice of Intuition Podcast
Empathy is a sacred gift. It’s one of the purest expressions of our shared humanity — the ability to feel with another person, to understand them beyond words, and to hold space for their experience. But for many of us, especially those on a spiritual or healing path, empathy can also feel like a heavy weight.
Have you ever been in a room and felt your mood shift for no reason? Or walked away from a conversation feeling drained, foggy, or even a little sad — even though you were feeling fine before? That’s what happens when empathy slips from attuning into absorbing.
In this Best of Laura episode, I share how you can honor your empathy without letting it overwhelm you. This teaching first aired in Episode 79, and it remains one of the most-requested topics from my listeners.
Attuning vs. Absorbing
When we absorb emotions, we take them into our own energy field as if they were ours. Over time, this can create exhaustion, emotional confusion, and even physical symptoms.
When we attune, we still sense what others are feeling — but we remain anchored in our own center. It’s like listening to music without turning the volume up so loud that it drowns out your own thoughts.
Your Empathy as Intuitive Power
Empathy isn’t just emotional — it’s intuitive. Your sensitivity is a channel through which you receive guidance. By learning to hold your own energy steady, you give your intuition space to work without distortion.
Tools You’ll Hear in the Episode:
- The Breath Reset: A quick practice to come back to yourself in moments of overload.
- Energy Disruption Technique: Around minute 22:00, you’ll hear my favorite playful method for blocking heavy energy — it’s simple, a little silly, and highly effective.
- Stillness as Medicine: How a pause, even for a few seconds, can recalibrate your energy.
Why This Matters Now
We’re living in a time of heightened emotional exchange. News cycles, social media, and everyday interactions can leave us feeling pulled in all directions. If you’re naturally empathetic, the risk of burnout is real — but so is the possibility of becoming a strong, clear, loving presence in the world.
I hope you enjoy revisiting this conversation. It’s a gentle reminder that your empathy is a gift, and with the right practices, it can become one of your greatest strengths.
