Ever walk into a room and know exactly who is upset before anyone says a word?
If you come home from the grocery store exhausted for no reason you can name, this conversation is going to explain a lot.
Lisa Campion is a psychic, energy healer, and best-selling author of The Art of Psychic Reiki and Energy Healing for Empaths. She has spent 25 years in private practice and now trains the sensitives, the healers, and the people who spend a lifetime feeling everything everyone else feels.
In this episode we go deep on empath energy protection: what it actually means to be an empath, why sensitivity feels like a curse until you learn to manage it, and the daily practices that turn it into your greatest gift.
We also talk about energy vampires, including the question most of us do not want to ask.
What if I am one?
✨ The difference between having empathy and being an empath, and why it matters
✨ The three fundamentals of empath energy protection: grounding, clearing, and shielding
✨ Energy vampires, victim vampires, and situational vampires, and how to spot each one
✨ Why resentment is the red flag that you are over-giving, and what to do about it
✨ How to refill your own tank so you stop pulling energy from the people around you
If you've ever asked yourself, "Why am I so tired all the time when nothing happened today?"
If you've ever asked yourself, "Is this feeling even mine?"
If you've ever asked yourself, "Is my sensitivity a problem to fix or a gift to develop?"
Lisa gives real tools here, not theory. By the end you will have a practice you can use in the car before you walk into Costco.
📚 Lisa's books: The Art of Psychic Reiki, Energy Healing for Empaths, Awakening Your Psychic Abilities, The Psychic Awakening Journal, and Sacred Reparenting (coming in December)
