  • How To Survive As An Empath In A Big City

    • Spiritual Living

    Living as an empath in the big smoke can be pretty tough. Here are some practical tips from Rebecca Campbell to nurture your sensitive soul in the city…

    1

    Spend time on your own

    Empaths need time alone each day to regenerate their energy, especially if they have spent 8 hours in an open plan office! When I was working in advertising I found that if I took 20 minutes each day as soon as I got home I was a MUCH nicer person to be around!

    2

    Find a park

    This is a biggy. Nature is an instant grounding tool. If you live in a city like London you are blessed with amaaaaaaaaazing parks (Regent’s Park is my all time fave, I wrote all of my book Light Is The New Black in the rose garden there!). But if you can’t find one nearby, don’t fret, a simple patch of earth or grass is all you need. Simply take off your shoes and feel the support of the earth underneath you.

    3

    Epsom salt baths

    Soak your body and your spirit in a hot bath filled with Epsom salt. You can grab it in bulk online or from your local independent pharmacy. Sprinkle a cup in with your favourite essential oils to clear out your energetic field.

    4

    Meditate

    The best form of meditation I know is Sourcing because it allows you to put yourself into receiving mode (as an empathy you’re likely to be a giver but in order to give you have to be filled up first). Sourcing connects you to the unlimited energy and light of the Universe – who doesn’t want a piece of that!

    5

    Follow what lights you up

    The way that you will light up the world without even trying is by doing the things that light you up. If you love singing, belt out a tune; if you love dancing, give me a high kick; if you love going to exotic restaurants, get your foodie on. The amazing thing about living in a big city is that there are endless options to do that thing that you love, commit to doing one of them this week.

    6

    Airplane mode

    Switch off the technology at night by putting your phone on airplane mode. Sleep is the best meditation we can give ourselves, don’t disturb it with your phone. Whatever it is, it can wait until morning.

    7

    Grow something

    Bring nature to you by planning something in your yard, getting a pot plant or buying yourself flowers. This daily connection with nature is wonderful to fill you up and keep you grounded.

    8

    Hang out with your soul

    Find time each month to hang out with your soul. As an empath it’s often hard to differentiate between what you are picking up from other people and what your soul is calling you to do. Journalling or gathering with like minded people at an event like: the Mind Body Spirit Festival, Higher Selfie Live, a Spirited Session or some other spiritual supportive circle does wonders for reconnecting with the voice of your soul and nurturing your spirit.

    9

    Aura soma

    I am a huge fan of aura soma. A fusion of colour, plant and crystal therapy in one small bottle. In a nut shell, you pick the bottle which resonates with you to help you balance your energy.

    10

    Play mantras

    Listen to devotional mantras or high vibrational music throughout your day (my favourite artists are Gurunam Singh and Krishna Das). These mantras soothe the spirit and evoke protection.

    11

    Deep breaths

    The fast pace and smog of the city can cause us to breathe shallowly, especially empaths who are more sensitive than others. Take a moment right now to reset your breathing by breathing deep into the corners of your entire belly.

    12

    Turn your bedroom into a sanctuary

    Fill your bedroom with fairy lights, electric candles beautiful materials and things that make you feel uplifted and nurtured.

    13

    Burn baby burn

    Clear the energy of your home each week by burning a sage stick. While you are at it, also clear your own energetic field by waving it around your body.

    14

    Get away

    Living in the city is so much better when you manage to take a trip away now and then. Whether it’s to the country, the ocean or mountains, plan a little escape every 3-6 months and let the negative irons of nature do their ‘thang.
