Creativity and Empaths with Mixed Media Artist Kimberly Morrow

Podcast Host CJMiller sits down with mixed-media artist and empath Kimberly Morrow. The teacher and multi-media artist shares her story and explains that being an empath isn't always easy. Only through life experience has she learned to navigate her ability to sense the emotions, feelings, and energy of those around her.  

Sometimes, an empath takes on a person's feelings nearby, and she has to move away from them and disconnect herself from the situation. She shares the concept of energy vampires and how she distances herself from these sorts of people. As a child, she would hide from others and avoid group environments.  

Kim believes all living creatures have an energy field extending beyond their body. As an artist, she often monitors the proximity of those around her when she paints. If they have negative energy, she finds herself moving away from them. Kim has learned to step back from her emotions and reexamine them from a distance. 

CJ and Kim share the challenges of doing all-day art shows and how they can deplete empaths of their energy. When we are empaths or highly sensitive people, we must nurture ourselves. How do you take care of an empath? Kim and CJ feel that a hot bath is one of the best remedies to calm your energy down. Kim believes there is a difference depending on the salinity of the water; submersion in a lake, river, and ocean is slightly different.  

As Kim has aged, she's learned to appreciate and value her enhanced abilities, but most importantly, to trust them. Her highly sensitive skills are a tool for navigating life.
