Being an empath makes you a great gift of service to humanity.

If you’re reading this, then you’re probably falling into the category of being an empath. And if, as an empath, you are wondering if, in this turbulent world where you usually feel overwhelmed and overstimulated by the surrounding chaos, there’s a place for you here, the answer is yes.

There’s much talk in the spiritual community about how we can contribute to raising the vibration of humanity, but what does this entail?

In my experience when I first started my spiritual journey and became involved in various groups, listening to a lot of “gurus” about the new era that was coming I imagined that meant a huge transformation that would take place on the earth, a transformation that would promote global peace, abundance, health for all, and spiritual advancement.

Being an empath makes you a great gift of service to humanity.

But now, after being part of the community for at least two and a half decades, I’ve concluded that this shift in the vibration of humanity is gradual and it will take time.

In the end of the day you realize that you’re not responsible for other people’s well-being directly, since one milestone in the evolution of a soul going through the cycles of reincarnation is to realize the importance of connecting with one’s own inner wisdom.

This is also followed by realizing the importance of stop seeing the world from a victim mindset but from an angle of taking responsibility for the circumstances in your life based on the doctrine that what is going outside of you reflects what is going on inside.

That of course doesn’t negate the fact that we have an impact on the world, but this impact results from our own growth. In this article we’re going to explore this aspect of contribution that you as an empath can make to even the smallest portion of humanity, that even small adds up to the work that other empaths also do that leads to the increase in frequency of the collective human vibration.

Before We Begin, Let’s First Understand How Your Energy Uplifts the Collective

Before moving to the practices that you can apply that can affect the human collective, I would like to discuss some ideas that these practices stand on.

All of us lightworkers — even if our number compared to the general population of the earth is much smaller — have created our own collective, which was built on the spiritual and energetic practices applied by each one of us who are part of the collective.

But if you don’t self-identify as a lightworker, the fact that you are an empath makes you sensitive to subtleties such as emotions, and even to spiritual energies, energies that lightworkers interact with.

Adding positivity to the human collective’s energy doesn’t imply that you need to be perfect or to be in high energetic states 24/7. What it means is that through small gestures, like settling in pockets of stillness, being aware of your emotions, and being mindful of how you interact with others, you shift the surrounding energy in profound ways.

But assisting in raising the vibration of humanity isn’t just an internal process. It can also take the form of simple acts of respect, authentic communication, and conscious behavior, which promotes harmony and deep understanding in your interactions with other people.

What Empaths Can Start Doing Today to Support Global Vibrational Uplift

As I said above, raising the collective vibration of humanity, even if it can be impacted by deep spiritual and energy work, doesn’t have to be the only way that us empaths need to engage with all the time.

Small actions that stem from your staying aligned with your center, making you present, and more intentional with your interactions with other people, help the latter in being uplifted.

Also, whatever internal work you are doing doesn’t stay contained within you; it radiates from you as an energy wave, as your aura (that you try to maintain at a high vibration through this work) interacts with the auras of other people. The more you stay centered in your own intention to keep your aura and your energy field intact and fully functional, the more you add positively to the human collective.

As I said above, raising the collective vibration of humanity, even if it can be impacted by deep spiritual and energy work, doesn’t have to be the only way that us empaths need to engage with all the time.

But trying to keep things simple, I want to offer below practices that are much simpler and could be a starting point for you on how you can serve humanity by cultivating inner stillness, emotional clarity, and also by taking actions that promote harmony and balance.

1. Cultivating Inner Stillness and Receptivity

Cultivating internal stillness is a very important practice that you as an empath can benefit from.

Even few minutes spent in mindful meditation, helps you to move from a reactive state of being towards the world around you, to a state where you act following your inner guidance that can only be heard when you manage, even for a brief time, to reduce your mind chatter.

Also, by cultivating inner stillness, you become more centered, and your energy also becomes less scattered, something that brings about a steadiness and groundedness to the way you present yourself, something that can be felt by other people.

Cultivating internal stillness is a very important practice that you as an empath can benefit from.

Another element of what you offer through cultivating inner stillness to the world is that you end up influencing any space you enter without saying a word. And this is something powerful in terms of contributing and holding space for other people to follow your example if they decide to.

2. Honoring Emotional Balance in Supporting Global Vibrational Uplift

There’s a lot of emotional noise within humanity’s collective psyche at the moment.

As an empath, who can sense and feel the emotions of others deeply, it can be a challenge to navigate this noise. At the same time, the fact that you can be aware of the emotional energies you come in contact with can be an opportunity for you to tend to your own emotional balance when you realize you have absorbed other people’s emotional energies.

In a way, your sensitivity, when seen as a blessing, pushes you in learning how to take care of yourself, so you stay balanced and centered.

Again, I am not talking about taking up intense spiritual and energy work (which has its place under certain conditions and goals in your spiritual development). I am talking about taking small steps, like taking a walk amongst trees that can help you realign your energy field, or spending time breathing mindfully, or being grateful for what you have.

There’s a lot of emotional noise within humanity’s collective psyche at the moment.

These small steps are enough for you to build and sustain a healthy emotional body, which, as mentioned above, can be felt by others, who will seek your company just to have a taste of what you have achieved, even at the smallest degree.

3. Becoming a Stabilizing Presence in the Community

Being an empath draws people to you as they sense your depth and sensitivity in holding space for others to express themselves freely.

This is a huge contribution to other people’s lives, and something that they don’t come across frequently, since most people are not that attuned to the emotional state of others.

But you need to be aware of the fact — and I’m going to stress this again — that is very easy for you to absorb the distress of others if you’re not careful and mindful when interacting with people. Only when you’re connecting with others from a space of centeredness, harmony, and a grounded emotional state, can you continue to be there for your community, be it your family, your neighborhood, or the world at large.

Conclusion

Contributing to raising the vibration of humanity does not need to be expressed in dramatic ways.

As an empath who is sensitive to the emotional energy around you, when you tend to your own emotional well-being, you influence the emotional atmosphere that you find yourself in whenever you interact with others.

Of course, for the vibration of humanity to be raised, there are other things that need to take place, but dealing with the emotional noise among people, something that empaths are experts in working with, is a very important contribution.

Contributing to raising the vibration of humanity does not need to be expressed in dramatic ways.

The practices I shared are a good starting point for your explanation in helping the evolution of the vibrational frequencies of humanity’s collective, and it doesn’t have to be complicated or strenuous to engage in this shift. Just be playful and open to your inner guidance, and the universe will lead you to the right place and time for you to add your smallest contribution to the evolution of the human collective.

Till next time, take care.
