To be an empath is an art form—to discover how our perceptions guide and inform us, shape us, and at times limit us, requires extraordinary awareness. It also requires the skills and the strength of a lion because it takes real courage to be empathic. The good news is that there are ways to protect yourself while living with an open heart, join the conversation as healer, empath and artist Elaine Clayton shares with us how to use creative visualization for that purpose.
