The word healer has become a trendy buzz word and has diluted its meaning and power for me. I do recognize the truth in its meaning and people’s intent. However it’s time for a new term in my vocabulary and that term/word is CHARGER.

I have recognized these “charging” cabilities in myself some time ago. At first I embraced the fact that I could attract friendly talkative people. I enjoyed doing the work by simply being myself. Then I went through a spiritual and mental crisis and found myself drawing away from people. The presence of some people made me jittery and I begin having mild but often panic attacks.

The shit was getting intense. Especially if someone shared with me their story of personal hardship. That would get me each time of just consistent thinking of that person and their struggles to a point where I felt consumed by their energy. I begin to struggle myself on so many levels because I had no clue as to why I had so many feelings and jitters after talking and socializing with people in groups or even one on one private conversations. Again the shit was completely intense.

I had no clue of what I was experiencing. I really had to take some time to do some pure soul searching, external studying of the mind, body and spirit, and straight up talk therapy with a licensed therapist. From the combination I learned of myself to be empathetic (and a shit load of other things but let’s just stick to one thing at a time..hehe). A sensitivity I’ve had my whole life that grew in-depth as I grew in age.

In the last few years, I’ve noticed social media likes to glamorize the work of being a healer. Many popular influencers will glorify how healed they are and how they can magically heal you. But true healing or redemption (yes healing on a soul level is redemption) is personal spirit work. True work on oneself. Every day every moment. On what you think, what you eat, what you say, what you do, and so much more.

When you are learning to be your pure Self, you begin to pull back layers of past issues that no longer serve you. This allows you to become more open as you are becoming revealed to yourself. Spiritually you are keeping your lamps trimmed and burningwhich then shows your light to other beings around you.

If you feel that you relate to any of the above traits of a charger (you attract people(especially hurt ones) effortlessly. You’ve been told or you know you make those around you feel amazing) then you’re more than likely an empathetic being. If you can relate to having any unexplained jittery moments around people, panic attacks, or even unexplained feelings of your own, then you are experiencing symptoms of an empath.

There’s tons and tons of information about it and things you can do to help your individual story. Chances are if you’re reading this and still reading this long ass post (hehe) it’s time for you to consciously understand your path here on this plane.
