Humans have more than 100 billion neurons. Some neurons stay locked to their purpose. Other neurons, specifically a type of receptor neuron called mirror neurons, are flexible enough that they can be, and often are, allocated to mirror the neural activity of other people.

How does this work?

Understood by neuroscience, our neurons receive information as electrial and chemical wavelength vibrations. What is less understood, yet certainly not less experienced -especially by Empaths- are the subtle energy vibrations our neurons are receiving and mirroring from our environment. Mirror neurons pick up the vibrations of other people and shape-shift themselves to create a mirror replication to inform the brain. This mirroring is not just a replication of the vibration of other’s emotions, but also their heart rate, their blood pressure, even their neurochemical composition.

Neurons are diagnostic tools. They receive information from our muscles, glands, organs, and cells and they send that information back to our brain to inform and diagnose how well our body is doing. Our neurons also receive information from external sources. Mirror neurons act as translators of this external information. They…
