As I’m sure you are no doubt aware, Empaths are incredibly susceptible to suffering information overload. And one thing you may have been noticing lately is feeling like you’re taking on too much, both from information and from energy.
The question is, why is this happening?
Before I get to that, I should probably explain what I mean when I say information overload. It could be anything from picking up on too much stressed emotional energy, or it could be being bombarded with electrical frequencies (AKA EMF), or experiencing informational overload from sources such as news channels, papers, and online social media. But that’s not all. Continue reading →
One thing that causes many Empaths incredible insecurity and suffering is the shame bought on by judgement.
Fearing the judgements of others, as well as the judgements we place on ourselves, has kept many of us imprisoned more than we probably realise.
We could say we are controlled by shame.
Until we recognise the shame we carry, and how it impacts our behaviour, we will continue to alter our behaviour patterns to fit in with others’ expectations, and not be true to ourselves.
Now, you may want to say that you have no shame, and you are not controlled by the judgements of others. But think about that for a minute. Is that true? Continue reading →
Have you tried doing many different things to heal as an Empath, but you still find yourself suffering with ailment after ailment?
Or do you find you are not dealing with any type of stress?
If you answered yes, you are certainly not alone. Many Empaths are constantly working on their mind body and spirit, in the aim to find balance, but still struggle both with being a human, and with being an Empath.
As I always say, we are all different. What one person needs to heal is not what another needs. Even if we have identical symptoms, it doesn’t mean we need the same healing modality. For one Empath, using crystals to heal was enough, for another a change of diet worked. But some Empaths try literally everything to find balance, and still struggle with issues either physically, mentally or spiritually.
If you are a regular reader of my blog, you will probably already know that I like to address the many different issues that can weaken us as Empaths. Because, in this world, there are many. Continue reading →
Are you finding it difficult to fall asleep at night lately?
Or are you waking up, and not being able to fall back to sleep?
If that’s a yes, you’re not alone. Many people are struggling with sleep problems.
The thing is, when you are losing sleep, you are never going to feel your best. Not to mention how frustrating it is to be lying in bed, wide awake, clock-watching or feeling stressed about how little sleep you are getting. Continue reading →
For one thing, being overly sensitive in this insensitive world plays a big part. Our Empathic antenna is always on high alert as we navigate our way through life, picking up all sorts of pained emotions and stresses as well as dealing with our own stress.
As Empaths, our emotional senses are generally heightened, which can mean we just don’t handle any other excess stress. And it certainly doesn’t help that so much in this world seems to be designed to cause worry in one way or another. For example: the cost of living, excess traffic, career misery, and, for us Empaths, over feeling everything.
But one major issue, for an Empath, is the energy we project when feeling stressed. It can have a rebound effect, which, in the long run, can cause many more issues. We will look at how this works shortly. But first, why does an Empath so quickly get hooked by anything that triggers stress? Continue reading →
Whilst going through my files recently, to make some space on my laptop, I came across an article that I had written a few years ago, but never got around to posting. As I read through, it made me smile, thinking about how much of it relates to the journey of life.
So, I decided I would share it with you all today, and see whether you too can relate to it.
I write this post whilst sitting out on a veranda in Marbella, Spain, overlooking a rather spectacular golf course. My husband is out on the course playing golf, so I thought I’d take this opportunity to write a post, and share some thoughts with you, as I’ve not had much time to write of late.
As I tap away at my keyboard, the sun is shining down through a cloud-speckled blue sky, and within my eyeline palm trees are swaying gently on a light breeze. Perfect!
It is just so lovely being outdoors. The past few months in the UK have been pretty much non-stop rain. I’m not sure what kind of weather you’re experiencing, in your part of the world, but being able to get outdoors without an umbrella and a rain coat is so uplifting, and now almost feels like a novelty.
Anyway, I digress from the topic I wanted to discuss with you all today, and that is the subject of whether we should have the right to control freedom of speech to protect our feelings. Because, in a world that appears to be on the cusp of collapse, having freedom of speech just seems so important, especially when so many people are swallowing down their truth for fear of being cancelled, attacked, ridiculed or rejected. Continue reading →
I often say that us Empaths are a very misunderstood bunch. So much so, we often get misconstrued or just plain attacked for discussing the way we experience the world. Which can certainly be frustrating.
As many of you know, I have been writing articles for Empaths for over ten years now. I started back in 2011. In fact, it was on 30th June 2011, that I published my first article, Being an Empath.
Over the years I have seen many derogatory comments and misinterpretations of our Empath traits. And, since starting to publish video posts on YouTube, I am seeing it all the more.
So, in light of that, today I present you with some of the myths and misrepresentations of an Empath I have come across whilst posting articles online… Continue reading →
There are books you read, and there are books that awaken something deep inside you. Crystals for Empaths is the latter. –Nova Wells
If you’ve ever walked through the world feeling too much; the pain in someone’s eyes, the tension in a room, the unspoken heaviness of a stranger’s day, then you already know the gift and the burden of being an empath. You also know how easily the world’s energy can leave you drained, scattered, or doubting your own strength.
But what if you could walk through life without feeling weighed down by everything you sense? What if you could protect your energy and deepen your connection to the beauty and magic of your sensitivity?
That’s where the crystals come in.
In Crystals for Empaths, I take you by the hand and lead you into the luminous world of these ancient allies. This isn’t just another crystal guide, it’s a soul map for sensitive people. You’ll learn which crystals shield you from toxic energy, which ground you when the world feels chaotic, and which awaken your inner light when life feels heavy. You’ll discover how to work with them daily so that their magic becomes part of your natural rhythm—quietly protecting you, uplifting you, and restoring your peace.
These stones are more than beautiful ornaments. They are keepers of the Earth’s wisdom, tuned to frequencies that can steady your spirit, strengthen your aura, and remind you of who you truly are. In this book, I share not only the “how” but the why: why certain stones seem to call to you, why they affect your energy in ways you can feel, and why your empathic soul responds so powerfully to their touch.
Whether you’re new to crystals or have been collecting them for years, Crystals for Empaths will show you how to weave their magic into your everyday life, so you can walk through the world grounded, radiant, and protected.
Your sensitivity is not a weakness. It’s your greatest strength. And with the right crystals by your side, it can become your superpower.
Crystals and the Empath
I have written several books aimed at empowering the Empaths of the world. In them, I have only briefly covered the subject of crystals and how beneficial they are, but there is so much more to be revealed. That is why I wrote a book on the subject.
Every Empath is on their own journey of evolution. All of whom have different interests and different needs. For one, a book about crystals will hold no interest, for another it is just what they need at their stage of development.
The book isn’t just about the benefits of crystals; it also details an Empath’s journey, why they endure certain life experiences, and how crystals can help.
There are many layers to an Empath, and indeed a Sensitive person. Their life is a journey of continual growth and change. It can also be an isolated path to walk. Few could ever understand the way an Empath experiences the emotions of other people or how this impacts their health and wellbeing. Feeling and taking on the energy and emotions of others can really take its toll on an Empath’s physical and mental health. Because of this, they have to work harder than most to find overall balance and peace of mind. And this is where crystals really come into play in making life easier.
Crystals can help protect you from the energy and negativity of others, they can assist in keeping you grounded, they can reveal and heal your shadow side, they help with social anxiety, and much, much more. They simply make life better.
It is not until you start working with them, in your daily lives, that you come to fully understand the true power of crystals. They not only help in protecting an Empath from the emotional energy of others, which means they don’t get as drained when out in public, they can also protect them from sensory overload, and from electro-magnetic frequencies (which has now become a major problem for Empaths and Sensitive people of the world, as you will find out later).
Using crystals can alter your energy to such a degree that it allows for healing within the physical body. All of which goes a long way to helping the Empath find balance. Certain crystals can also help put you back in touch with your true self, and work as energetic medicine for your mind, body and spirit.
Although there are hundreds of different types of stones, all with countless properties, my aim with my book is to guide you towards the most effective crystals for you as an Empath.
So, let’s take a look at what this book is about with an excerpt from the first part:
The Journey Begins
Before we dive in, I must point out that although incredible, crystals won’t always be the elixir you are looking for. There is no denying that crystals have extraordinary power, but if there is an underlying condition being caused or impacted by, for example, your diet, nutrient deficiencies, by adrenaline dominance, or by hormone imbalances (such as menopause) you will probably need to take additional steps to heal. I say probably because, for some people, using specific crystals was all they needed to find balance of their body and mind. But we are all different. Some of us have to dig a little deeper to get answers and healing. Most holistic treatments that treat energy imbalances, take time to work their magic. Healings don’t often happen overnight. I go into greater detail about this subject in the chapter, When Crystals Don’t Work.
We all want to live happy, healthy lives which, in this world, is becoming increasingly difficult to do, especially for the Sensitive people. I hope that by the time you have finished this book you will be excited to include crystals into your daily life to help bring back balance.
You are about to embark on an incredible journey. It is a journey into learning everything you need to know about crystal healing for an Empath…
CHAPTER ONE
If you have come across this book, chances are you have a natural draw towards crystals and a curiosity to know why. This is not by chance. Your inner-knowing has guided you towards their transformational energy.
Crystals should play a part in every Empath’s life. They are little pieces of magic that emit powerful healing frequencies. After learning of their potential, you will be ready to use them every day, not just for rebalancing and happiness, but to be better in all you do.
The healing influence of crystals has long been understood in many cultures. Crystals have been regarded as vessels of power as well as objects of beauty. In Ancient Chinese cultures, Jade was prized for its medicinal properties, Ancient Greeks rubbed crushed Hematite on to the bodies of warriors before battle, in the belief it made them invisible, and even the Christian Church cherished the power of precious gems.
For a Millenia crystals have been used for their incredible power and their ability to absorb and transfer energy, and to balance the chakras for all over healing. The reason they are still used today, to heal and realign the mind, body and spirit, is because they work.
Having a thing for the crystal kingdom is quite normal for anyone who has an intuitive awareness. An Empath may build a collection of crystals and tumble stones without necessarily knowing of their benefits. They simply have an in-built attraction towards them. Interestingly, it is generally observed that when drawn to a particular stone, it is for a reason. You may not know of its attributes but your higher-self does.
Everyone, and not just Empaths, will benefit from having a range of crystals, especially during these challenging and changing times. A basic selection serves in so many ways. In this book, I discuss the various ways they can help in the home, when out and about, during travel, for protection from energy vampires, as a simple way to reset, and many other ways. Crystals can be worn as jewelry, carried in pockets and bags, tucked in the socks, used in home furnishings and much more.
How Do Crystals Work?
Carrying the healing frequency of the earth, crystals are formed by magma or gasses in the earth’s volcanic lava streams, and the salt beds of natural lakes. They are defined as solid objects with atoms repeated in an organized pattern, known as a crystal lattice. Atoms group together to form the various qualities of crystals. Because each crystal has a unique molecular structure, that vibrates at a specific frequency, the many different stones are able to offer their own unique healing qualities.
Empaths, Energy and Crystals
Just like crystals, as Empaths, we have a unique frequency at which we vibrate. Our personal vibrations are impacted by our individual history, the way we think, the way we feel, our living environment, our diet and many other factors. Our biography impacts our biology and the speed at which we vibrate. The poorer our physical and emotional health, the slower our vibration. The opposite is also true. When happy and healthy, we vibrate at a higher frequency and life is better for it. As Empaths, we are also impacted by the energy of those we come into contact with. This too affects our health, happiness and what we attract. This is why crystals are so wonderful. They not only help raise our vibration, but also offer protection against anyone, or anything, that could lower it.
We are not only made up of a physical body, we also have an energy body or aura. The aura is our first line of defense and acts like a shield against the energy of others. I suppose it could be compared to an energetic immune system that fights off foreign energy not belonging to us. And, just like an immune system, it does not always work the way it should. If the aura is weak, damaged or leaky, too much external energy can be taken in. The impact of which is normally experienced in unpleasant ways. Some clues that an Empath has a weakened aura are: quickly becoming fearful, overwhelmed or fatigued when around people. This is because a rapid influx of external energy seeps in through the aura and impacts the physical body in unusual ways. Because crystals raise our vibration, they strengthen the aura (discussed in more detail later on), which then creates a stronger barrier towards external energy.
Grounding and crystal shielding are formidable tools for an Empath’s protection. We are each responsible for the energy that we attract, repel and send out. If, for example, we take on negativity from another person, or if we experience an energy clash that affects how we feel physically and emotionally, we need to take steps to rebalance. We cannot control another person’s emotional energy, but we can control how it is received within our body and mind, and this can be done by using crystals.
I once read that crystals can be used like an umbrella in the rain. Which I thought was a great turn of phrase. The umbrella helps keep us dry and protected when there is a light shower, but if there’s a heavy downpour it doesn’t always shelter us from all the splashes and gusting droplets of rain that swirl around us, battering us from all directions. We may also need to use waterproof trousers and a mac for extra protection. This is the same with crystals. Sometimes, we need more than one crystal. On occasions, when in heavily peopled places, we may require a crystal for grounding, one for protection and one for energizing. Or we could use a crystal in conjunction with another healing or protection method such as aromatherapy oils. Throughout this book we will be looking at all the different ways with which crystals can be combined for ultimate Empath protection.

Ok, there you go. Hopefully you will have got a feel of whether the book is for you…

Why on earth would this be a crucial time for Empaths?
Well, it is a crucial time for us to stay in charge of our traits, our health and how we feel, for the reason we tend to project the energy of what we feel into the world.
As I know you’re only too aware, Empaths are known to lap up the emotional energy of those in close proximity, but we also project energy out.
Its not just Empaths, everyone has the ability to project out their emotional energy on to others, but in my humble opinion, Empaths tend to be extra good at it. If you get my drift?
I’m sure you will have noticed that when you are in a weird place, feeling agitated, upset or down, the rest of the world seems to adapt to your mood, whether you show your feelings or not.
To give you an analogy,
Have you ever watched Men in Black 2? When Kay reveals that Laura is The Light of Zartha, and he explains why she knows things before they happen, or that when she’s sad it starts to rain? She has the power to change the vibrations around her. And in a roundabout way, this is what many Empaths do. Maybe not in making it rain, but when our moods shift it can change the energy around us, and the way the world presents to us.
As you know, this world is in a seriously weird place. There is a lot of turmoil energy around.
It’s almost as if the world seems to be deconstructing.
Nothing is stable.
There is so much chaos and confusion that it can be hard to properly function.
People seem to be either burying their heads, to what’s going on, or losing their minds.
And that’s why it is so important for us to keep ours.
AVOID THE DISTRACTIONS
I have said it in other posts, we are being purposely distracted. Distracted from our own power.
Sensitive people, like Empaths, experience this more than most.
Those of us who have been working diligently on self-development, through balancing our mind, body or spirit, will have seen many positive changes in recent times. Our vibration is continually rising; our intuition has increased, as has our ability to manifest, and our moments of blissful clarity are getting bigger and better.
We are more heart centred than ever before. Yet, despite this, we can still easily be pulled down into a low vibrating space without us even realising what’s happening.
Over the recent years, I have noticed this occurring on numerous occasions. I didn’t recognize it at first, and would find myself getting caught up in the drama. But now, I try to stay aware of it as it happens and I know it is not a coincidence. It seems the better the space I am in, the more something tries to pull me out of it. And sometimes it works.
Yes, it could be some type of test, but the fact that every form of media is spewing some seriously dark stuff out from all directions, makes it hard to avoid.
These major distractions really can take us off our game.
KEEPING IT REAL
The thing is, when you’ve cleaned up your thoughts, your energy field and your diet, and you avoid unnecessary negativity, your mind, body and spirit naturally vibrate at a higher frequency. However, you don’t necessarily notice this higher vibration until you are pulled out of it, and when it happens, it feels worse than ever!
If you are one of life’s game changers (Anyone who works on changing themselves for the better, is a game changer.) you will probably be noticing this happening, and if you haven’t, look out for it.
When we are in our heart centre, we project a high vibrating energy out in to the world.
When our vibration lowers, and we get pulled from the heart, we no longer radiate that powerful vibration.
We are all human, and we all need reminders, from time to time, not to engage the madness. No matter how hard it tries to lure us in, and to recognize what is happening.
POSITIVITY BREEDS POSITIVITY
When we are in a high vibrating space, we project that energy out, and it is this energy that will help heal the world by aiding others in raising their own vibration.
No one benefits from the energy of anger or dark emotions.
Those who want to keep the world as a lower vibrating space, do not want us to radiate out powerful vibrations of love or of positivity, so they cleverly orchestrate distractions for us, that lower our vibration.
Being aware of when any type of trauma trigger is being activated is essential, because they are the fastest way to throw us out of our groove and take us down.
How we behave, act and feel is so important now. Not just to us, but to everyone.
As I said, what we feel, we project out into the world and when taken off centre, our mood shifts to a lower vibration and our awareness is compromised.
My last two posts have been focused on ways to stay in a more emotionally stable place, one by using daylight to balance circadian rhythms, and thus increase our frequency, and two, by using ways to increase the love hormone, oxytocin. But there are also hundreds of other free posts on this blog, all aimed at empowering you lovely Empaths out there.
The more we work to raise our frequency, the better place the world will be for ourselves and for others.
Ok, that’s it for me today.
I do hope this helps on your journey.

Because, as Empaths, we tend to endure heightened emotional reactions on a regular basis, the body might think that we are under a constant threat. This can then trigger repeated stress hormone spikes.
The thing is, when our body feels we are in danger, it will prioritise keeping us safe, and it will do this by releasing certain hormones that, for example, give us the energy to run away from dangerous situations.
However, when the body pumps out more of certain hormones, such as adrenaline or cortisol, it will reduce the release of other hormones such as progesterone. Continue reading →
Have you ever experienced the incredible benefits of exposing yourself to morning light?
I call it daylighting. I’m not entirely sure if anyone else calls it that. But it’s a word that I think fits. And it is something that, as the title of this post would suggest, most are in the dark about.
Basically, daylighting is getting natural light into your eyes as soon as you wake up, every day, by either watching the sunrise or simply going outdoors and looking in the direction of the sun (not directly at the sun), first thing.
In a nutshell, what it does is balance our hormones, and has many other benefits, which we will take a peek at shortly. But I can vouch that it really works.
For the Empaths of the world, this is something that comes with many advantages.Continue reading →
Have you ever been in a certain person’s presence, and found yourself feeling really weird, or even negative, yet having no reason for it? As in, the other person has done nothing to offend or upset you?
Or have you ever found you’ve not been able to talk to a certain person and not really known why? You might find yourself stumbling over your words, or sentences don’t form in your mouth. And again, there’s no real reason. The other person seems perfectly lovely.
This could be all part of The Empath Shutdown.
Here are some more symptoms of how an Empath can act, around certain people, when in Shutdown:
Some time ago, I discussed the idea that one of the reasons why we are now experiencing so much strife in the world is because the balance between masculine and feminine is seriously off.
Before I knew how masculine and feminine energy impacted the body, I would often question why when I got ailments or niggles in my body, it was often on my left-hand side.
Through my research and yoga teacher training, I came to understand that one of the main reasons was due to the fact I had an imbalance within my masculine and feminine energy. Predominantly my feminine energy. Continue reading →
