Subject: Empaths, people able to sense emotions of others, and project emotions (or more) may experience emotional pain without awareness of the source.

The author provides a 30-day course to Empath Empowerment; inner growth, and ability to turn the gift on or off.

The author, a recognized empath expert, published the first self-help book for empaths, Empowered by Empathy.

Noteworthy: Instead of teaching how to protect against energy vampires, the 30-day course spurs positive inner growth resulting in the ability to control one's mental health.

The book is totally interactive, providing fresh empowerment secrets, assignments, quizzes, mental exercises, visualization, tests, and more.

The Skilled Empath will enjoy a positively enhanced reality. --Mindquest Review of Books

Rosetree, a prolific author of unconventional self-help books, is back, and this time she s determined to help build upon the skills of empaths, people who have the gift (or curse) of experiencing deeply the physical, intellectual, emotional, environmental, or spiritual pain of others. Subtitled Your 30-Day Plan for Empath Empowerment, this book provides step by step instructions aimed at managing and building upon such traits for your own spiritual enrichment and the benefit of others while you regain and maintain a sense of your own importance. --Brandeis University Magazine

Confidence exudes strongly. Become The Most Important Person in the Room: Your 30-Day Plan for Empath Empowerment discusses empathy and empaths, people who feel the pain of others more strongly than typical empathy.

This skill, writes expert Rose Rosetree, can be quite the plague when one doesn't know how to control it.

Stating that strong empathy is a good skill to have at times and a problem to have at others, Become The Most Important Person in the Room for those who want to control their empathy.

What is Energy Spirituality, exactly? It helps people like you with personal development and spiritual awakening, using skills that work now.

Leading-edge specialties developed by Rosetree include:

#1. ENERGETIC LITERACY SKILLS. Using the system of Aura Reading Through All Your Senses®: You can gain skills for reading auras from regular photos, as well as in person.

Today’s energetic literacy demands that we do better than “see the colours” or a do a “chakra reading.” Good skills today include reading auras all the way through to “chakra databanks.”

Practical Application: Rose has developed specialized arrays for aura research, like “Integrity Chakra Databanks.” Not only can she read your chakra databanks; besides that, she can teach you how to use this skill on your own. (No clairvoyance required.)

Books Include:

-Aura Reading Through All Your Senses®

-The Power of Face Reading: Introducing the System of Face Reading Secrets®

-The New Power of Face Reading: Updating the System of Face Reading Secrets®

#2. Energy Spiritualty ENERGY HEALING SKILLS. Some can be learned for self-healing. Others require personal sessions with Energy Spirituality Experts.

Skills include Spiritually Sparkling®, Consciousness Positioning Consults®, and Soul Retrieval and Validation.

Sponsored repeatedly by VOICE, Japan’s leading seminar company, Rosetree broke their 28-year record for “most popular healer.”

Practical Application: Did you know that, ever since 12-21-12, you’ve had a “Soul Expression Support”? It’s a Divine organ, located within your aura; you can learn how to do an occasional bit of maintenance that keeps it working properly. As a result, you strengthen your very human sense of self.

Books Include:

-The New Strong: Stop Fixing Yourself—And Actually Accelerate Your Personal Growth! (Rules & Tools for Thriving in the “Age of Awakening”)

-Use Your Power of Command for Spiritual Cleansing and Protection

-Cut Cords of Attachment for Self-Healing

#3. EMPATH COACHING, using the system of Empath Empowerment®. Learn how to make subtle changes to how your consciousness flows – changes that are effortless… and powerful.

Practical Application: What is the spiritual purpose of being born as an empath? Rosetree says, it’s the ability to do Skilled Empath Merge. She’s the only empath teacher and author who has published samples of Skilled Empath Merge. (Online you can find a ton of these.) Rose Rosetree can teach you to become a Master Empath.

Books Include:

-Empath Empowerment in 30 Days

-The Empowered Empath – Quick & Easy

-The Empowered Empath: Owning, Embracing and Managing Your Special Empath Gifts

This is the first book I read in Rose Rosetree's series of books. It made all the difference for me as an empath. I finally learned what was causing my health problems and emotional ups and downs and what to do about it. Her sincere desire to help Empaths shines through in all her books. She's ever encouraging, and she pooh pooh's the idea that you might be some kind of freak. As far as I'm concerned she should be nominated for sainthood for all she has done to alleviate our suffering. After reading this book I could not only sleep better, but I could breathe better too. I'll never cease to be grateful to Rose Rosetree for all the work she has done to help and encourage people like me.

I might add that I was not impressed with the books written by psychologists such as The Sensitive Person's Survival Guide, which I believe became a best seller. What a shame. Kyra Messich didn't come anywhere near addressing the problems of Empaths. She barely scratched the surface. It takes someone who has been through the trials and tribulations of being an Empath, such as Rose Rosetree, to be able to help others in the same situation. Anyone depending on Messich and those like her for help isn't going to get very far, I'm afraid. Being an Empath is far outside the periphery of the orothodox and must be approached that way. Psychologists can't help because they are scared to death of anything outside the limits of the material world, what they were taught in school and what is currently in fashion in their profession. I can understand that they would like to be able to treat people who are empaths and maybe some pretend they can because people look to them for answers. And they don't want the world to know they don't have any. It hurts their professional pride.

If you know you are an empath I urge you to read Rose Rosetree's works and also go to Jad Alexander's Book of Storms on the Internet (not a book you can buy) and start taking his course.

Suddenly a strong feeling comes over you. You feel sad or angry or frantic, for no reason at all. Are you going crazy?

Or are you picking up the feeling from someone else? One in 20 people, says author Rose Rosetree, are empaths; and most are not very skilled at it. If you recognize this experience, if you feel what is going on with other people whether you want to or not, you will be glad to have a book about getting control of this blessing-curse.

Rosetree provides a 30 day program in which you can learn to direct your attention to your own experience, and disconnect from involuntary empathy. Once you know how to get free of the emotions and physical sensations of others, you can afford to turn your empathy back on - when and how you want to.

Rosetree clearly knows what she is talking about. She is aware of the many varieties of empathy and will help you discover which kind is your gift. She writes with humor and lightness. If you follow her program for a month you may find, as I did, that you can turn this experience off and on at will.

Some people will object to her humor. A friend of mine to whom I recommended the book did not like the flippancy, and she found that the techniques succeeded. More serious is Rosetree's primary metaphor, "becoming the most important person in the room." I know she uses this expression because for some empaths, everyone else's reality is more real than their own. But do we really need more people who think they are the most important person in the room, yet another Lord Narcissus or Lady Moi? I wish Rosetree had chosen another theme, and emphasized more the sheer joy of encountering The Other. (And she has done some of that with another of her books,  Aura Reading Through All Your Senses: Celestial Perception Made Practical, 2nd Edition  )

No matter, though. If you or someone you know picks up every suffering and craziness in the environment, they should have this book. Rosetree's methods WORK.

Ironically, I almost didn't buy this book because of the title. "I don't need to be the most important person in the room" was my thought. Typical empath self-effacement! I liked this book because it's so validating. I'm 46 and I never knew why I was this way or that it had a name. In recent years it's gotten a lot worse, or maybe I'm just more aware of the fact that the stuff I'm feeling isn't mine. When I think back on my relationships I wonder, was I really attracted to any of those guys or was I just feeling their attraction to me? The point is that if I were a human sponge and/or conduit for Albert Einstein and Louis Pasteur 24/7 then I guess I could say it's worth it but that's not the way it works. I just feel like a rudderless ship on a sea of other people's emotions and thoughts which are generally pretty base. Automatic faucets don't even turn on for me because I'm so grayed out. So whatever, has this book miraculously made me the captain of my own ship? Not entirely. But then it's not a book you can sit down and read in one sitting either. I am glad to have this book as a reference. I think empaths feel a lot of guilt about protecting themselves from other people but the heck with other people. I have isolated myself to the point where the next step is moving to the Moon and it's still not enough to get away from people's stuff, especially family members. So maybe it's time to stand and deliver. If you feel you are an empath you should get this book. There is so little information out there--there is NOTHING in my whole statewide library system--and you owe it to yourself to protect yourself and start living YOUR life and not somebody else's.

I’ve known always that I’m a pretty extreme empath. I was excited to read this book but it’s leaving me confused since the author keeps saying things and then take back her words. I feel like she talks in riddles. I wish she’d say the same things in black and white and straight up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Becoming a Skilled Empath through Rose Rosetree's methods
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 30, 2012

Update in 2021! The book is now Empath Empowerment in 30 Days - buy that version instead! :)

Rose's book guides you through the process of becoming more aware of who you are as an empath, and what your specific gifts are.

As an empath you naturally have the ability (through one of your gifts) to experience what is like to be someone else (e.g. emotionally, physically, intelelctually)or what an environment/animal/plant/crystal is like, on a subconscious level.

Unfortunately if you are an empath you have being doing this subconsciously all your life, and in the mean time picking up STUFF (emotional or physical pain etc) that wasn't yours.

For myself, this led me to be unsure and not very confident in my own identity, over identifying with other people's emotional pain and always feeling a background degree of anxiety about who I was in social situations. I felt enough as a person (I do a lot of things etc) but not enough of a person, my sense of self wavered from day-to-day and also depended to a certain extent on who I was with.

Rose's techniques has helped me to be calm and confident in my own identity, helping me to progress in all my goals and be more effective in my relationships (As well as more enjoyable to be around!).

And Rose also includes a technique for using your gifts consciously. In a way where you are aware of and languaging your experience and also safe from picking up STUFF from others!

Life before being a skilled empath can be very tough and life can be a daily struggle. Having learned Rose's method, my life has gotten better and better and I can say that my daily life is so much more calm and joyful in a way I would have thought would have taken me decades to achieve had I listened to conventional wisdom.

5.0 out of 5 stars Probablement son ouvrage le plus complet pour devenir un meilleur empathe
Reviewed in France on September 11, 2012

Rose Rosetree s'est spécialisée dans "la perception plus profonde" comme elle l'explique sur son blog, elle prône ce qu'elle aime appeler la "littérature énergétique" du 3è millénaire. Cette ancienne professeur de médiation qui a une expérience longue de plus de 20 ans dans le domaine de l'énergétique, du coaching et de la guérison nous livre ses secrets afin de maitriser le don de l'empathie.

Cet ouvrage est un parfait mode d'emploi en 30 leçons faciles à suivre et à comprendre pour les empathes qui cherchent à canaliser leur don et à le mettre de coté lorsque cela est nécessaire pour pouvoir se sentir plus en phase avec eux-mêmes.

Le titre fait référence au fait que souvent, en tant qu'êtres sensibles, les empathes ont tendance à mettre les autres en avant plutôt qu'eux-mêmes. Les leçons, très simples et très ludiques nous font tout d'abord prendre conscience de notre corps, de notre esprit, de notre environnement, de l'intellect et de ce qui compose notre être le plus profond afin de pouvoir allier toutes nos facettes et de mieux en vivre.
Cette prise de conscience va ensuite permettre de mieux comprendre et museler l'empathie pour pouvoir l'utiliser à meilleur escient et éviter la souffrance inutile que l'on peut parfois s'infliger lorsque l'on est inexpérimenté.

Certes, le livre est en anglais mais il est très complet et répond à de nombreuses questions que l'on pourrait se poser lors de l'apprentissage. Sans mentionner le fait que l'auteure garde totalement les pieds sur terre, ce qui est assez rafraichissant pour une littérature new-age.

Je vous le recommande plus que chaudement si vous êtes empathe et souffrez régulièrement du "syndrôme de l'éponge", tellement vous ramassez tout ce qui passe. Ce livre va d'abord vous apprendre à vous centrer sur vous, très simplement, avant de vous donner des techniques pour mieux tirer parti de votre don.

An absolute must have for all empaths. There are other books available on this particular subject but Rose Rosetree most definitely explains things in much greater detail and her methods just make sense. I struggled for so long with constant earthbound spirits jumping in to my energy field and couldn't figure out why. Rose Rosetree explained what I was doing wrong and gave me the right tools to learn how to manage my energy field. This book has been an absolute lifesaver.

3.0 out of 5 stars Empath is an Introvert but with a Spiritual Slant
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 27, 2013
Verified Purchase
Unsure about this book as an empath comes across in my view as someone who is an introvert; the same issues highlighted. Overall, a book taking only a slightly different slant on that of the introvert. It is a tad expensive including the Kindle version. Never keen on books that purport to provide a long-term plan and I have to admit I lost interest part way through. At the same time, never one to give up on a book, I tried flicking to specific chapters but again lost interest each time. I believe a lot of us could extract parts from the book and link them to ourselves. Sometimes it is nice to find a reason for feeling misunderstood; in other words finding someone or something that provides empathy when on a simpler note we are probably in the wrong place or with the wrong group of people. Empath is not a word widely used or known, although the word empathy is in common use. The book hovers around links to the spiritual and this was why I bought the book as part of a piece of research. Just because I am not keen does not mean it is not well written and I can imagine it would suit many people of a more touchy feely nature. To my mind a more interesting, thought provoking and far cheaper yet solid read is  Quiet: The power of introverts in a world that can't stop talking .
