My name is Ashley Jones and I am an empath. I suffered from my gift for most of my life. I admit back then, it was more like a curse than a gift.
I was constantly in an emotional roller-coaster. One minute I'd feel excited and the next one, depressed, or anxious after listening to someone speaking about their life's problems.
I often felt so emotionally drained and exhausted that I'd lock myself in my bedroom unable to talk to anyone for days. Besides, doctors, psychiatrist were clueless about my condition and the only thing they would do was to prescribe more and more heavy drugs.
They sure did help me by making me feel numb and dead in the inside. Most of my days, I felt like an empty vessel without a soul just wandering around cursing life, thinking why can't I be like everyone else? Why do I always feel so tired, so different from all the rest?
I thought, if I'd asked enough someday my prayers would get answer but I only heard... the sound of silence.
So over the years, I stopped caring about life, I had no motivation, no energy, no relationships and became overweight.
My normal days were spent sat on my sofa, eating ice-cream and wondering what was going to happen in the next episode of "Sex in the City". But worst, and even nearly too painful to admit, I often thought about committing suicide. If that would not be a better option than living in agony for the rest of my days.
Fortunately, I never fell into the temptation or I wouldn't be here helping you overcome your situation. My parents worried about my condition and after recommending several psychiatrist without success, suggested for me to try Yoga.
Initially, I wasn't too inclined to try it but I told myself, "I'll try one class and see how it goes". I can't say in my first class my movements were as elegant as a dove swimming on a pond but rather like a whale splashing all over the place. However, in the end of the class I spoke to my instructor about my situation and remarkably, he also was an empath!
He explained how he managed to control his emotions over the years through meditation, Yoga practices and even how he used his gift to better help others.
That day changed my life forever! Slowly with practice and better knowledge, I started experiencing more peace, wisdom, my health began to improve.
And one day something very strange happened, something that I hadn't felt since childhood. I felt happiness, I felt true happiness and when I first realized it, I couldn't believe it. But then tears of joy came out of my eyes.
It was one of the best days of my life and there and then, I also discovered my life's purpose.
My mission is to share what I've learned in an easy and clear way that will enable you to better use your gift in a short period of time. So you don't have to suffer longer, so you can also experience happiness in your life. So you can find love and passion and even help others with your unique gift.
Thank you for exploring my books. My hope is that they will be a light for you as so many books were to me.
Good luck,
Ashley Jones
