Mirror Neurons: The Science of Empathy - Part 1

So, I'm an Empath, What now?
What is it that enables us to experience empathy — to feel or share the same emotions as another person such as sadness, fear, joy or any other type of emotion?

The Dali Lama says, “Empathy is the most precious human quality.” During these stressful times, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Even so, empathy is the quality that will get us through. It will enable us to respect one another, even if we disagree. Empathy doesn’t make you a sentimental softy without discernment. It allows you to keep your heart open to foster tolerance and understanding. It might not always be effective in getting through to people and creating peace but I think it’s the best chance we have.

Mirror Neurons & Empaths:
Judith Orloff MD explains how empaths have hyper-responsive mirror neurons in the brain. These are responsible for compassion. That's, in part, why empaths deeply resonate with other people’s feelings, which allows them to feel someone’s pain, fear, and joy.
