There's a lot that an empath can learn from the symbol of a skunk. I remember back just about a year ago, I lived in Sedona, Arizona, and I had some friends there.

At their house, what they did is they had two dogs that were chasing a skunk. And what happened is I'm on my way back home and they give me a call and they say hey, can you bring over some dog shampoo from Petco that like removes the skunk repellent or removes the skunk smell or whatever.

And I was like, yeah, sure, what happened? And they're like, the dogs were barking at a skunk and it sprayed it with its fumes and now the dogs smell like crap.

Now, the reason that there's something we can learn from skunks is because skunks are the ultimate masters of boundaries. If you cross the boundary of a skunk, it will spray you with its
fumes or with its stuff so that you go away.

And I remember seeing that and there was a symbol because I think in life, what happens is we have these things that happen in our lives and that we perceive of, and there's like symbols that we get back from that. And that for me was like me becoming aware of my own sense of boundaries.

Am I lacking boundaries? Am I allowing myself to say no? And there's something that we can learn from that. Now in this video, I believe that you will learn the key and the main things that are gonna help you to completely transform your own energy so that you're no longer having difficulty saying no to things that you normally don't want to do, but you say yes to because you feel guilty or you feel obligated.

You're gonna learn how to say no, how to set boundaries without feeling guilty and how to really transform this empath that you think is maybe a curse or maybe there's negative side effects of it and how to make it like completely embodied in your own power, in your own frame. And this is things that took me like two or three years to learn, and it changes everything.

And you're gonna exponentialize and shorten that timeframe by simply watching this video. Now, first thing we need to do is this is the no bullshit guide for an empath.

Some of the things I'm gonna say in this video, by the way, as an empath, you might not like, because it may be true or it may seem a little bit harsh, but it's what you need to hear to really take your power back and wake up.

As an empath, and as a highly sensitive person my whole life, I've been people pleaser for years for sure. I've realized it myself a few years ago. And one of my realizations was this one: if someone cannot handle my "no", they are not worthy of my " yes".

Aaron’s alignment is strong. He’s been vibrating at a high frequency for quite some time. Shoutout to the hard work this man has done

[nguinguingui]

My ah ha moment was realizing that my parents shit was their own and my shit is mine. They were doing the best they could with what they had. I am my own being and I create my own best self.

Having boundaries can also mean to: not overwork, limit unhealthy activities and limit your own negative thoughts.

[SadafHeals]

*Empaths are people pleaser and take others energies and think of them as their own Energy. They are Sensitive and can easily be manipulated hence why its soooo important to have BOUNDARIES if you are an Empath! I sure I am!!*

I’m 40. Either I left my lower chakras a LONG time ago or I never connected. I’m just now coming back down into them. I feel like a version of me that I’ve never been. Super different and I’m starting to experience a different reality. It’s cool and scary at the same time

My issue I have with being an empath is if a friend or someone close to me pulls away I start to freak out I want to know what I did wrong how I contributed to it. My work is to not take it so personal . The part where you said it occurs when you felt abandonment really resonated. I guess we don’t want to relive that pain so we just give in

[meganomdal]

Today I'm saying no to my job. I've worked a call center job for the past year, making myself sick from stress, all to make other people happy. I deserve to be happy. Thank you Aaron.

The sun is a daily reminder that we too can rise again from the darkness, that we too can shine our own light.🙏🏽💙💫

[QuanTheAlchemist]

Learning how to control my sensitivity as an empath has absolutely changed my life!

[jordantoronto]

“What can I say no to today?” YES!! To saying more NOs!! 😂 And it recently occurred to me that, as I KNOW me more, I will say NO more!

[AhmetKaan]

You'll watch an entire Netflix show even when the first episodes are slow and boring just because someone told you "it gets better." *But what if you looked at your goals like that and watched your life get better instead?*

[stephaniegonsalves]

Thank you Aaron for this video🙏💖 When I was a kid, I also couldn’t watch TV because of my mum‘s partner. In my case, when they came home he would check the TV too.
Leaving it on the last channel was the only way to survive.
A lot of work outside the house, no regular food, no decent clothes. All the time uncertainty. Still, I thought I was safe. Now I realise how much I wasn’t.

You making such videos, give me Energy to take my power back.

I wouldn’t say I’m a people pleaser, I’m very sensitive but I’m very strong at the same time and I know how to fight… but…yes for others not for myself.

In a relationship however, I gave so much love to my partner, that I felt totally responsible for his happiness.

Yes, learning how to be in my own body, stay in my solid frame is a lesson of my life I guess.

Thank You Aaron 🙏💖

I discovered 6 months ago …that my parent’s stuff was just that their stuff
I wish I found this video during my childhood
My grandmother told me those exact words but my mind couldn’t connect the dots from that trauma

I’m definitely an empath. I was engaged to a covert narc(but dated only narcs or selfish people). That traumatizing relationship made me finally say never again and let me figure this out
I figured out that my mom is a covert narc. That I’m an empath. How to say no.
I’m still a work in progress but I pray for healing for all that’s reading this and watching this video.
It does get better
