Earlier this week, I decided to write a personal unabridged review of what I really thought about The Complete Empath Toolkit by Dr. Michael Smith. So here it is.

Please keep in mind this is my opinion about the product. If you are looking for the book itself, you can click here.

If you are wondering why I am writing this review, it is because I could not find out anything about The Complete Empath Toolkit when I was considering purchasing it. After purchasing the product and getting to know it, I felt it would help others to know more about the product. This way you can make a better decision rather than going in blindly like I did.

A word of caution! I have resolved myself to being completely impartial. This means I will tell all of the things I like about the product as well as the things I do not like about the product. If you are only wanting to hear sunshine and roses, this is not the review for you. If you are ready to read an honest opinion with all of the good and bad points, read on!

The first thing I noticed about The Complete Empath Toolkit that I liked was that I was getting way more than just the book. This greatly increased the value for me. This is because there is no way I would have paid the asking price for just one book about empaths! After all, I had no information to go on. For all I knew I would be getting a bunch of information about metaphysical nonsense which I had no interest in. Getting the free material along with it made me feel as if I was able to hedge my bets that at least something in the package would be useful.

Even though the book was over 230 pages long, I found that it was written well and not difficult to get through. There are 44 techniques described in the book that are used to open up your personal energy, none of which I found confusing to follow. In fact, while reading the book, it feels as if Dr. Smith just takes you by the hand and shows you step-by-step how to harness the power of your emotions and better manage your personal energy.

The thing that I did not like about The Complete Empath Toolkit was the fact that like so many other empath books, it talked about sexual ideas. Personally, I did not buy a book about how to control my empathetic feelings just to read about how men can have multiple orgasms. I bought the toolkit so I could learn to be more of a conscious empath. Maybe someone else will find that section useful, but I didn’t really care for it that much.

Other things that I did find useful about the book was the empath training which it detailed out. This was clear and concise information about how someone who is a born empath can deal with such normal things as handling money. When people are thinking about becoming an empath, this is not something they think about. I have dealt with crazy mixed feelings every time money touches my skin all my life. With the help of the book, I was able to get past this and be able to go to the store without having to wear gloves.

The other part that I liked about The Complete Empath Toolkit is it does not treat empaths like they are psychics. The book was written in the true empath definition. I did not feel as if I was reading a book which was written for someone else and was just remarketed for me.

All in all, I feel as if The Complete Empath Toolkit is a great book for all empaths looking to gain better control over their lives. I believe it will help you to understand your abilities a little bit better. Further I believe it is a good way to be able to find the control you need in order to lead a more active lifestyle. I was starting to feel confined because of my empathetic abilities, but now I am able to go anywhere I want to without having to worry about the emotions I will encounter along the way.

What is an Empath born to do? Most empaths are often in the dark about their innate gifts but the more developed ones are sometimes called in by the police to help track a murderous pedophile or other heinous criminal because they are able to take on the tortured emotions of the assailant. Utilizing Clairempathy, a type of telepathy to sense or feel within one’s self, the attitude, emotion or ailment of another person or entity.

They are sensitive to the visible as well as the invisible and pick up on body language, tone of voice, body movements, the words people choose when they speak, the words they avoid, the logic they use; and the hidden things that only an empath can sense inside another person. It is not uncommon for an Empath to “freak out” for no apparent reason, only to discover later that a friend or family member went through some sort of trauma at that exact moment. So essentially an empath is someone whose feeling sensory is extraordinarily heightened, meaning they receive the majority of their psychic input from what they feel.

Since they’re being assaulted constantly by emotions which do not originate internally, they can’t figure out why they feel the way that they do, and therefore can’t address the core issues. Since empathy isn’t something you can really ditch it’s sometimes difficult to sort out what the Empath truly feels in a given situation or what they are taking on from someone else. This can prove to be very confusing!

Emotions that create powers that have been known to be God like in nature. Emotions that build on inside only to be shared with those around you. Emotional empaths are so sensitive that they can absorb the negative emotions of others in their body, and actually take it on. So when an empath is around somebody who is anxious, they can actually absorb that energy into their body, when it isn’t even their own anxiety.

Empaths are born, and they’re born unskilled and are generally very understanding of others and their positions, and often times will ask questions rather than make snap judgments, or intuitively seem to ‘know’ there is more to a story than what meets the eye. They are sensitive to TV, videos, movies, news and broadcasts. Violence or emotional dramas depicting shocking scenes of physical or emotional pain inflicted on adults, children or animals can bring an empath easily to tears.

What is an Empath capable of doing? Empaths are people who don’t “read” the future, or predict it … they “read” people, and their energy although sometimes it depends on the person being read, too. They’re often problem solvers, thinkers, and studier’s of many things. As far as empaths are concerned, where a problem is, so too is the answer.

They are the psychic sponges of the world, soaking up all the psychic and emotional static that other people give off. Being an Empath is one of the most common and most challenging of all the psychic gifts.

So as you can see being am Empath can be both a blessing…and a curse!

If you’re interested in learning more about empathic sensitivity and other emotionally intuitive abilities, I recommend reading the Complete Empath Toolkit.

Empaths types are the born writers, singers, musicians and artists of the world and quite often exhibit a high degree of creativity and imagination. They are known for many talents as their interests are varied, broad and continual, loving, loyal and humorous. They often have interests in many cultures and view them with a broad-minded perspective. They are mother, father, child, friend, nurse, caregiver, teacher, doctor, sales people… to psychic, clairvoyant, healer, etc. (That is not to say that any of these categories are all empaths.) The list is extensive and really unimportant. It is more important to notice that empaths are everywhere–in every culture and throughout the world.

Empath types can be very affectionate in personality and expression, great listeners and counselors (and not just in the professional area).

Most empath types will find themselves helping others and often putting their own needs aside to do so although in the same breath, they can be much the opposite. They can become quiet and withdrawn from the outside world and become loners, depressed, neurotic, daydreamers, or even narcissistic. Many suffer from self medicating addictions such as drugs, alcohol and often food.

They are most often passionate towards nature and have the ability to become one with it. One will often find empaths enjoying the outdoors, beaches, hikes, etc. Empaths may find themselves continually drawn to nature as a form of release. It is the opportune place to recapture their senses and gain a sense of peace in the hectic lives they may live. The time to get away from it all and unwind with nature becomes essential to the empath. Animals are often dear to the heart of empaths, not as a power object, but as a natural love. It is not uncommon for empaths to have more than one pet in their homes and many plants as well.

Not long ago, a numerologist performed a reading on me. Amazingly, but not surprising, these were my results!

When living an empathic life, empath health need to be a top priority!

Has being an Empath affected my health? Well…let’s see.

I suffer from Ulcerative Colitis, Osteoarthritis, Uveitis and possibly Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis…and that’s just the “itisis”. My Doctor’s tell me that these diseases are all connected to an Autoimmune Disorder that appeared all at once when I turned forty years old or so. But it wasn’t all at once, really.

For years whenever I’d see a Doctor for a “well” visit, they’d ask me if I had any infections or Flu like symptoms and when I’d ask why I was told that my white blood cell count was way off thechart! When I’d tell them that I felt fine they were very surprised. One of them even tried to push the issue stating that I must be ill, but I wasn’t. Or so I thought.

Although I felt fine on the outside, something was eating me away on the inside causing me internally to break down and bleed. That something was Empathy. The years of taking everything and everyone in, had finally taken it’s toll on the old system. Therefore, If you are an unskilled Empath and haven’t developed the art of shutting down or shielding you may be introuble yourself someday.

When I presented this theory to my Doctor’s they understood where I was coming from with the whole mind/body connection thing, but without any hard evidence they deemed my opinions inconclusive and kept pumping me with steroids and powerful immuno-suppressant medications anyway. After many years of frustration and following traditional medical advice, I found my condition was not going into reemission anytime soon and in fact hardly gotten any better at all.

This is when I began to do my own research and decided to adopt a more alternative lifestyleapproach to my medical conditions. If it wasn’t for the Internet I would’ve never discovered all the different avenues available to me, both as an Empath and an ill individual. I spent countless hours sifting out tons of information and through trial and error came up with a formula that seems to be working for me. I’m still on the medications but through meditation, diet and Empathic shielding I hope to be free of them all someday soon.

The shielding process is a necessary aid that must not be ignored and needs to be practiced daily. If not, the accumulation of emotions will slowly permeate every cell causing a mutation resulting in the immune system thinking it’s being attacked and it will defend itself, even against itself. This is what I believe accounts for the accelerated white blood count in my system that results in the attack on my body.

What I do is simple. I take ten minutes each morning and evening, close my eyes and focus on my breathing. If your mind begins to wander don’t fight it. Be aware of it, let it go and bring yourself back to your breathing. This works wonders for me but you must be diligent and practice it daily for it to be helpful. If my Arthritis isn’t too bad I walk and meditate allowing for an even better way to relieve stress and keep depression at bay.

As far as my diet goes I’m eating about ninety percent organic now as I believe that processed foods tend to incite flare ups in me. This diet is both expensive and time consuming in preparation but extremely worth it. I’ve only been practicing this combination of diet, meditation and exercise for a few months now but am already beginning to see the benefits. I intend to stay on this path forever and am looking forward to a better, brighter future.

We are in a fast paced world now – where we eat in a hurry, sleep in a hurry, and wake up in a hurry and rush to work in a hurry.  Amidst all this frenzy, little do we care about our physical well being and mental well being?  Like they say the face is the index of the mind, we fail to understand that our aging and dull faces just mean that our mind is tired.  Only when our own doctors and physicians tell us to get on to some relaxation techniques, do we realize that we have been ignoring the most important organ of our body – the mind.

Astral projection is one such mind relaxation technique which gives you an out of the world experience, transforming you into a rejuvenated and highly energetic person.  If you are new to this subject and wondering what astral projection is all about – let me explain then.  You are mind traverses so many different places when you are just where you are.  For example, you might be sitting in your own drawing room in the hot summer, but your mind could be roaming around in the cold, snow peaked Alps.  The result is that you feel so nice and calm deep down and you are not bothered about the heat or the humidity that surrounds you.  This is precisely what astral projection is all about.

If you want to try this out, you are at the right place.  Here we provide you easy ways to astral project yourself and feel the bliss of your life.  This has proven results even for new joiners as you can easily transform yourself to a different place in spite of the lack of experience.  When you are able to experience this in the very first or second go, you feel encouraged and enthusiastic to try this all over again and the more times you try the better you feel.

There are a lot of people whom I personally know who have tried this and have felt the world about their experiences.  Sam, my colleague and close friend, said he wanted to try something like yoga or meditation as he had a tough time both at work and at home.  That is when I told him to try this site for astral projection.  He entered into it with lot of skepticism and doubt if he could really do it.  That was the only time he doubted it.  Once he was into it, there was absolutely no looking back for him.  He said he felt like a new person and that he could manage all his problems.

I am sure you are also burdened with so many of these irritations in life – no I don’t mean to say that you need to go through them.  All I am trying to let you know is that you don’t have to endure so much of this pain and agony when there is an easy way – astral projection that can transform you to an all new planet!

Binaural Beats are Not a “New Age” Fad. Binaural Beats have been researched for almost 170 years. The human brain goes through many frequency cycles during each day. Different frequencies produce different effects to the human consciousness. Using this information, it has been discovered that the brains receiving and operating frequency can be altered by sound waves.

Simply stated, Expect Results. Binaural Beats directly stimulate the brain by altering the operating frequency. Some of the common physical effects are:

1. The body feeling heavy and the inability to move freely
2. Total relaxation of the entire body from head to toe
3. Vivid visualizations, colors, and patterns
4. Separation of the conscious and subconscious mind
5. Anxiety, Stress, and Tension Relieved
6. Feeling of sedation or not feeling the body at all

Every persons brain is different, and every recording we sell uses different frequencies. There is no exact answer to what you will experience. Some minds are more open to suggestion, and some are stubborn. Many people have absolutely “Wild Experiences”, while others have more mild effects. Although each of our recordings is specifically designed for a purpose, experiences will differ person to person.

Below are links to specific binaural beats and the benefits that can be had from their individual uses. Please try the free samples as well.

Technical Definition Of Binaural Beats

Stilling the mind through focusing on the breath, numbers, observing thoughts or other simple activities is a great way to start to learn how to merge into the deeper aspect of consciousness. Mediation practice can be done with eyes open or closed. Mediation is not simply about sitting still for 15 minutes though, it is about experiencing the depths, joys and rhythms of the universe. Becoming one with ourselves and life is not only a birthright but a way to greatly improve our lives.

Mediation also helps to clear the mind because the practice of calming the mind in mediation flows on to the everyday. Meditation practice will help one to become clearer, calmer and more relaxed. One will also become stronger emotionally and mentally. So the effects are not solely experienced while one is meditating they have an effect on our mind and life outside of meditation.

For example, meditation is great for the relief of stress, ultimately with years of practice and awareness it is possible not to feel stress at all for stress is essentially created by the mind. Without a mind that is jumping all over the place a sense of  peace pervades our consciousness and learning to rest in that peace is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves.

With an overactive mind that is busied by thoughts regarding the everyday we often have trouble seeing the perfection in the day and the beauty in the moment. Being in the moment is the one of the greatest experiences this life has to offer. Meditation will help one merge into the now because without such a busy and active mind that often seems to want to project into the future or the past, we can concentrate on what is in front of us. This will lead us into a greater experience of that moment and ultimately into the great depths waiting to be discovered right in front of us.

Joining a meditation class can be a good way to get a mediation routine established. This is because the joint energy of a group meditation session can make it easier to slip into a meditative state and indeed the simple act of attending a class on at least a weekly basis will help one get into the groove of a mediation practice.

In terms of how much to meditate it is generally a relative decision. It is usually recommend that people should seek to meditate 15-20 minutes per day. However simply sitting there waiting for the time to pass will not provide much benefit to the individual.

It is important to perhaps observe thought during the beginning stages of a meditation routine if the mind and body don’t seem to settle into it. Then at least one can begin to see that the mind is constantly active and some of the thoughts that it seems to create come from nowhere. Yet we often base our feelings and decisions on these thoughts. Getting some insight into the activities of the mind is perhaps a good way to focus at the beginning should one simply be waiting for the 15-20min to be up.

Eventually a good meditation practice will essentially lead one deeper into their self. If one is able to sit down and experience the deeper parts of themselves and the universe that they have trouble accessing through the everyday then this is a good practice. Over time the depths and feelings of calm increase allowing the individual to go even deeper.

Do not concern yourself with having experiences that match up to what may be described in texts as each spiritual discipline that practices meditation has different way to meditate and some even describe distinct stages that can be reached. Find your own rhythm and depth and keep on going deeper into yourself and expanding your awareness of who you are.

In order to get the most out of your meditation practice you must enjoy what you do for when you enjoy something the mind does not get in the way of the activity. Enjoying it will help you go so deep that you may begin to lose a sense of who you are and find that you are one and all is one. That type of feeling is well worth the discipline of establishing a meditation routine.

Finally, it is important that those seeking to do psychic work to have a strong meditation routine. For those seeking to develop psychically, meditation is a very important tool that allows for greater contact to be made with different aspects of consciousness around us. A still mind and emotions allows to greater connect with source and indeed allow information to come to us through our senses.

Meditation Tips - Cats, Bullies and Other Distractions

Shortly after I turned forty it all fell apart. I developed an Autoimmune disorder and my body began to attack itself, big time. The next years became a deluge of Doctor’s visits and countless medications. In time my spirit withered with my health and it wasn’t long before depression set in.

A close friend suggested that I give meditation a try. If you knew me you’d know just how difficult this idea was to swallow, but I was getting desperate and decided to reluctantly agreed to give it a shot.

It’s been over five years now and sometimes I feel like I still don’t get this whole meditation thing. Sure it sounded simple enough in theory and principle, but practice, well…that’s another situation entirely.

Ok, let’s see just what I’m doing wrong here?

I draw the blinds, close the bedroom door, light my “higher awareness” candle then put on the “Ten Steps to Deeper Mediation CD. Plopping myself down cross-legged on my (Zafu) meditation cushion I touch my index fingers to thumbs and then, then – nothing.

I can’t shut my mind off no matter how hard I try and all of a sudden it’s important to remember when I got my last oil change, if this years a leap year or the name of the kid who bullied me in forth grade. Experts tell you not to fight it and just let the thoughts go and eventually peace and enlightenment will be mine, but I got to tell you, I’m not buying it.

I’ve tried changing rooms, candles, cushions, CD’s and still nothing. I get into position, the music begins and so do the distractions. Is the stove on? Is the cat in? Do I have enough milk for breakfast tomorrow? – ad nauseum.

This is the way it’s been for years until three months ago when thankfully I became the
recipient of an Ipod, thanks to my Brother making an upgrade to a larger one. So I loaded it up with music, plugged in the headphones and went for a nice, long, walk. It was wonderful, relaxing and invigorating all at the same time, the music keeping perfect synch with my footsteps and breathing. As I was trying to find the perfect word to describe it, then it hit me…Meditative!

Traditionalists certainly wouldn’t call this textbook meditation by any stretch of the imagination but it was certainly what I needed, what I’d been searching for, for all those years. Who would’ve figured that an old pair of Nike Cortez sneakers and a loop of “one hit wonder’s” from the 1980′s, would finally give me peace of mind. since then I’ve added a number of more traditional meditation programs and tracks to the Ipod and haven’t missed a day of walking since I started.

Aside from the obvious mental benefits, I’ve lost ten pounds, my high blood sugar has dropped considerably and I eliminated gluten and wheat based products from my diet. I now find myself more patient, relaxed and centered on a daily basis and my friends and children have noticed the difference too.

So if you’re like me I highly recommend this form of relaxation, especially if you’re having trouble with the more traditional forms of meditation. Well, it looks like this will be the closest I get to achieving total enlightenment in this lifetime…and that’s alright with me.

This company is a favorite of mine as well and I’ve loaded a few into the ole’ Ipod too! Click Here to check them out.
