1440: What does it mean to be an empath?

Matt Kahn: I think what it means to be an empath is to not just understand your feelings from a personal standpoint. When I was a child, my perception was that other people were mad at me or I was doing things to make people upset. And what I figured out, after a 30-year journey, is that what I perceive as the feelings people are having about me is actually me feeling other people’s stuck emotions and emotional upheavals.

To be an empath is to wake up from the ego identity—to wake up from the belief that my feelings mean something is unresolved in me.

Instead, I came to understand that my feelings are my personal way of healing myself—and thus the world.

From an ego standpoint, my feelings have to do with me, and perhaps I have to trace them back to many past memories in order to clear them. Because, from an ego standpoint, the hope is to no longer be anywhere near difficult feelings. The hope is to get away from negative emotion—unlike the soul’s perspective, which is: what I’m feeling is my experience of what healing is needed for humanity.

I think that when we look at things from the soul’s perspective versus the ego’s perspective, we feel less victimized by our circumstances and more excited to participate in our own liberation, which has such potent and powerful results for the world.
