In this handy work, psychic counselor Campion (Psychic Reiki) teaches energy management techniques to her fellow empaths. Campion claims that empaths (those with heightened intuitive or psychic awareness) are prone to absorbing the emotional energy of others, which can bring unexpected difficulties. She highlights issues of empathetic overload, and urges readers to let go of feeling victimized by their sensitivity and take charge of managing energy and maintaining boundaries. The book’s strength are the skills Campion shares, such as a “system check” scan to separate one’s emotions from those of others and ways to create personal boundaries through visualization and meditation. She also describes the nature of “energy vampires” (people one finds “most draining”) and gives suggestions to disentangle from them (such as establishing boundaries and finding support if one has troubling saying “no”). But the message gets muddied as Campion wanders into topics such as old and new souls, soulmates, and “the energetics of sexuality.” Campion’s breezy, approachable style and clearly described methods make this book valuable to anyone who considers themselves an empath.
