Are you in relationship with a child (or any loved one) whose desires feel demanding, relentless, and almost impossible to ignore?
There are energetic underpinnings to this “never satisfied” personality or season. When you understand it, it can shift your perspective in the direction of loving support, soft boundaries, and encouragement of these sensitive and multi-passionate souls.
“Empaths” tend to desire more because they are tapped into a universal intelligence that creates and can create everything and anything. They SEE the core of others’ energy, often before others see it themselves, but they cannot control receiving the essence that is there; other people are in the driver’s seat of what they express and embody.
This can leave “empaths” frustrated because they aren’t getting their needs met when they know they can easily be met — others are just choosing a different path.
For someone who feels fulfilled and capable of abstract thought, this dynamic can be overlooked and understood. For someone, like a child, who does not fulfill their every need or operate within abstract thought, the energy they desire from other people gets transferred to the concrete, to match their way of thinking and processing.
When “empaths” attach their desires to the concrete and controllable, through “I want, I want” and “I’ve gotta get”, relentlessly, it’s because they are SO eager to meet this deep need because they know the energy is there and accessible to them. They’re tapped in enough.
It’s essential to meet these individuals at their level of need, rather than what they claim to want. For instance, I’m not going to fight my daughter constantly on whether to buy her fake nails 😂, but I am going to move toward her in fulfilling the need that exists underneath her desire for that concrete thing.
She doesn’t see the core need but I can, and I love inviting her more deeply into honest presence with herself.
This new episode of the Divinely Grounded podcast is a reflection on conscious parenting and relationship, and the subtle ways desire, attachment, and control can tangle when we’re close to highly sensitive, multi-passionate souls.
When we can’t shape how others show up, it’s easy to interpret deep wanting as entitlement, rather than energy that informs.
Instead of focusing on behavior or outcomes, this episode invites us to meet the energy of desire itself and honor wanting without attaching it to 3D form.
We explore:
This episode is a loving recalibration to consider the innocent invitation of demanding behavior, so you can meet it within its purity rather than getting distracted by concrete demand.
I use quotes for the word empath because it best encapsulates the sensitivity and felt sense of the individuals we are referring to in this episode. However, check out episode 11 of this podcast for a deep dive into the use and misuse of the word “empath”.
