Are you frustrated because you haven't yet healed? If your symptoms of physical, emotional, or energetic pains and illness keep reoccurring no matter what you've done, this book is for you!

If you are overweight, or are inexplicably lethargic, unfocused, or feeling lost, there is a reason. If you are anxious, depressed, or have digestion/elimination difficulties, your energetic sensitivities likely have caused you to take on the pain, unhappiness, and other dis-ease of the people around you. Self-Care for the Self-Aware provides a solution specifically tailored for you and your uncommon healing needs.

Many of us on the path of self-realization are overly empathic; therefore, we need special tools and updated techniques that teach us how to effectively protect ourselves from incoming energies, as well as a method to permanently release everything we've already absorbed.

Learn how to use your intuitive gifts to self-heal and how to better use these gifts for the benefit of others!

If you've done way too many traditional, alternative, or complementary healing modalities and at best have only achieved temporary relief, Self-Care for the Self-Aware is for you!

From the Author

Do you think you found this page by accident?

I don't think so.

No coincidences. You're intuitive, and part of you already knows this book or a session with me is what you've been looking for.

If your mind is already fighting you, thinking bad thoughts about me or this work, you're onto something! Go beyond mind; what does your heart say?

PS Please leave a review when you're finished reading.

About the Author

Dave Markowitz is a medical intuitive who has helped thousands on their journey toward wholeness. After years of denying his empathic abilities, his slap-in-the-face moment was when he got drunk without drinking any alcohol.

Dave then began attracting clients who'd done lots of spiritual work but hadn't seen improvements using traditional, alternative, or complementary modalities. He was able to intuit that his client's pains and illness weren't their own; that their empathic abilities made them an "energetic sponge."

Dave knew he could "squeeze" the "sponge" but also knew that without addressing the underlying causes, all pains and illness would be eventually recreated. He then intuited a 5-step process that helps empaths see their gifts as a blessing and not a curse, and also helps them "give back" what isn't theirs.

A native New Yorker with a wry sense of humor, Dave works in-person and by phone/Skype from his new location, Portland, Oregon.

Healing Chronic Pain the easy way

Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2017

Verified Purchase

This was one of the best books on Mind/Body healing I have ever read. It took me to a deeper understanding of where my chronic pain originated from. I always thought the pain was from something I did or didn't do but after doing the processes and reading the book, I see that I took on the pain and negative emotions of one of my parents. The book explains why we take on others emotions and pain and what we can do to release them. I suffered with 26 years of severe pain and chronic fatigue; I was totally frustrated with all the thousands of dollars I spent looking for a cure and having no positive results. Thank you David for helping me find the missing pieces to the puzzle of illness and its root causes.

For those who've tried everything

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2014

Verified Purchase

I read this book in one day because it was that entertaining to read. I know I am sensitive because I can feel energy within me and with people who are incredibly unbalanced (like if I stand next to someone with dark negativity around them, I'll want to faint). I also unfortunately pick up other people's pain, whether emotional or physical. The pain is worse if negativity is targeted towards me because it hurts me like a knife stab to the middle of my back and the knife just stays there and festers. For the longest time I actually took these energies as if it were my own and had such a hard time letting go and recovering, which made people think I was being stubborn or that I wanted to feel this pain for attention. It was a couple of years ago did I find out that I was empathic, which I felt explained a lot about why and how I was able feel so deeply. Because I wanted this emotional pain (which resided in one spot in my middle upper back and under my lower sternum) to stop, I decided to work on various types of healing. Seriously, I've tried talking it out, flower essences, energy work like Reiki and pranic healing, and crying my heart out but it either didn't work or was just temporary. It wasn't until I read this book did it put things into perspective for me. To truly get rid of energies that are not your own, you have to send them back to its original owner (trust me this is way better than just grounding it as I've been told to do MANY times to no avail). I tried the Return to Sender exercise that same day and was amazed when I could slowly feel that negative energy that didn't belong to me in the first place find it's way back to its original source. After a couple of minutes I was like "OMG am I really free from this?? Holy crap! Maybe I should just wait it out before I tell people about this..." It's been a couple days now and that emotional pain I've had for years in my back never returned. I feel so FREE and in control! I feel like I finally have room in my heart to love! I am thrilled and relieved because it's great to know that truly letting go does exist. It's all energy!

I'm still practicing the Key Hole technique which I find to be a bit of a challenge (I'm sure practice makes perfect and there's always the Return to Sender technique to fall back on). But all in all, if you are empathic or sensitive, then read this book to help you discern what emotional energy is yours and what's not yours to help you get on your way to emotional freedom and healing. God bless you, Dave. Seriously, bro...you're friggin awesome.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2016

Verified Purchase

This book is SO GREAT. I didn't until recently (almost mid 30's) realize that I was even an empath. Now that I do, I realize if I'd had these very simple tools to help me a long time ago I probably wouldn't have had so much drama or sh*t to go through. I shared the Keyhole technique with another empathic friend of mine, and she shared it with another empath she knows because the tool worked so well for her. It has already changed my life, taking me from feeling bombarded constantly by others' feelings of sadness I felt helpless to do anything about, to keeping me feeling calm in the face of anger and pain, and able to be centered in the middle of others' storms. This is SO WORTH IT. It also literally took me practicing once or twice for it to work. You may read this book fast, but you'll be left with tools for a lifetime.

Life Changing!!!!

Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2016

Verified Purchase

I can honestly state that this book is life changing. It provided a fundamental shift in how inappropriately I was processing the pain and negative energy in my life. I didn't understand why I was feeling so drained, so tired, full of grief, shame and sadness. Turns out, I was taking on other's emotional responsibility and their burdens became my burdens and I was doing everything in my power to make them feel better; yet, I was feeling worse.

I'm finally aware, understand and accept that I am not responsible for the soul of anyone else. I have also come to realize that I needed to be aware of whose energy it belongs to, mine, theirs or both? Finally, I learned to release the energy that wasn't mine and to return it back to sender. This was extremely powerful!!!!!

This book provided 5 techniques that are enlightening, powerful and key for any empath to fully understand and effectively process the emotions and energy around us.

Thank you Dave, for helping me reconnect to my soul.

Really helped

Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2014

Verified Purchase

This is a commendably short and to the point read for those who tend to exhaust themselves in their relationships. The excercise "Return to Sender" may have changed my life; I did it ONCE, a couple of months ago, and I hardly recognize myself: I'm getting my work done as well as supporting others, instead of feeling drained and apathetic and see my life pass me by.

Great book for self-transformation and deep healing

Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2019

Verified Purchase

This book is great for those who tend to take on the energies of others, like "emotional sponges", and those with chronic conditions (which tend to be the same types of people). The techniques for me were highly therapeutic and transformational. I found most of the information educational as well. In general, this book would be quite beneficial for those in the healing and helping professions, as well as those who identify themselves as having co-dependency. 5-stars!

An amazing book, despite its small size, which has so many useful tools for helping anyone who feels overwhelmed by the emotions and feelings of others. I have recommended it to lots of people already and use some of the tools in it myself all the time.

Excellent book for those who are highly sensitive and tend to be like sponges when it comes to absorbing every single emotion surrounding you from other people. It is a self-help guide in a way and came in very useful for my teenage daughter who is feeling anxious.
