Through a tremendous transformation of my sick soul and mind, into a new light of consciousnous I have always known, yet had hidden from me, I have come to realize that although I am forever greatful to have awakened to the light (the source, the flow, the tao...), I feel quite lonely in what I see and experience. So I guess this is my way of reaching out and asking for an exchange of wisom. I have self diagnosed myself an empath. I sometimes feel like an empty vessel, absorbing whatever energy I come into contact with. I won't claim to read peoples minds, but I definitely feel what people feel, and can see where they have been in life. I'm not at a point of doubting myself anymore, I trust my intuition more than I trust anything else, including my own mind. Perhaps it's silly to try to find someone to talk to about this on the internet, and there's a reason why the creator hasn't placed a female guide in my path yet...but I can't say that writing this feels wrong either, so I guess I will wait and see what comes of this. Thank you for reading. Love.
Awakened and empathic? That is a lonely place. If you don't already you should practice shielding. Try to give yourself a break from other peoples funk. What is your sign? Create some sacred space in your house for yourself where you can be alone, fill it with good vibes and things that inspire you. I am also empathic and find it helpful. If you do plan on doing some healing work, be careful not to mirror your patient to the point of doubling the negativity in the room, it can make matters worse for your patient, I struggled with that. The whole enlightened/awakened thing I can't really help you with as I don't see myself that way. I just have a nature based philosophy that doesn't quite jive with most people. I can see how being awakened could be lonely though, in a world where people walk around with thier boxers hangin out of their sagging pants and television is god. Do you practice shamanism?
That is a rare ability. If I were you, I would dedicate time towards developing the psychic mind (third eye, 6th sense, whatever you call it). Practice becoming highly focused on a single entity. This can be a physical object or the visualization of something. If what you are experiencing is genuine, then you will be rewarded greatly if you become proficient. I am no expert nor psychic, but this is what I have observed to work. I understand where your loneliness originates. For those who have reached "enlightenment," who can they turn to for advice? I've experienced that loneliness in the sense that most people in my country live in a box. Many are ultra-conservative and don't seek "higher meaning" in their lives. I often feel that nobody understands my curious, experimental nature. I'm open to discuss in more detail.
I feel exactly the same way. I had my awakening about 5 years ago after a bad break up. I've always had strong intuition and gifts but I never thought of myself as a psychic. Learning to control empathy is very hard but I see it more as a gift. I am better able to realize what emotions are mine and the ones that are not mine. It can be very lonely when you feel like you are the only one or when you have an experience and have no one to talk to about it. To top it off I am an empath with bipolar disorder. I do take medication and that helps mellow me out. Taking in energy I find does happen more during certain times. It's important to release that energy. I go for a walk - I like it better than meditation but for me it's a a form of it. Cleanse your aura daily. Taking a bath or getting aura spray may help. There are so many different ways to cleanse the aura. Chakra clearing helps as well. Learning to create distance and a shield between you and other people is important as well. This has been the most difficult part of it all for me. I am a psychic and work as a psychic. I could not do the work I do without learning self mastery at least a little bit. I recommend reading this website for empaths as well : http://mysilentecho.com/dreamtongue.html it's a lot to take in so take you time. I still haven't finished reading it but it opens up your mind.
Is this question really necessary? Are you questioning the truth to what the OP shared or simply asking out of curiosity? Not trying to offend, just not sure how to take your question...
Being empathic sucks and is awesome... realize what sucks about it, before you get too caught up in what is so fantastic about it... Just some healthy advice, for what it is worth. :juggle:
Because you end up identifying so heavily with other creatures' emotions that they are intensely overwhelming, among other things.

Hey, thanks mothman...you're right about sacred space, helps for sure, but no easy way out of this really. I have tried planting my feet more firmly on the ground and accept the state of the world around me...a higher power helps that's for sure...as far as shamanism is concerned, no I do not know much about it. Is there a site or book you could reccomend? Anyway, just wanted to thank you for taking time to share with me.
Thanks Ashliew, I will take a look at the site you posted. I refuse to go the medication route, I did for some time...and then it dawned on me that perhaps it was the world that was sick. We are all just energy, and we are interconnected, some of us re more sensitive to that than others. The state of the spiritual world around is isn't a healthy one...I am interested in the work you do...do you actually do this for a living? Did you have a mentor?
