I just got a nice size storage container for all my art supplies that have been gathering dust and taking up space. So now I can get to work making a sign, just got to figure out where to put it... lolThanks MoonGoddess I'm glad u liked my idea Yes, certainly feel free to do the same... I find it works quite well... even if the person entering my Home doesn't know what an "empath" is, they still get the point!
I am imagine myself surrounded in white light and then visualise myself wearing armour made of mirrors. So that way what ever comes your way will reflect back at the sender, doesn't matter what they send good or bad. If it is good no harm is done but if it is bad that person will get a taste of their own medicine. I guess it like say "What you do to me will come back on your". Hope this helps.muin68 wrote:Hi. I have "felt" what others are feeling my whole life. I've always picked up on the emotions of friends, family, co-workers, but never really thought I was empathic. How do you develop this ability? and as someone posted...they have to back off when it gets too intense...how do you do that? how do you disengage?
Looking forward to hearing from you all.

What can you do to control this ability?
I live in a high negativity area
with many places where people are staying.
for legal or medical reasons.
And it seems that at times I get a
wave of grief from the families of someone who died
at one of the nusing homes, or Hospitals
or I feel the anger of the kid who the rest of the
kids at the school picked on all day.
I've been meditating, and grounding
and wearing an obsidian.
This been a very hard problem.
The serious.
It must have been an interesting book.RoseRed wrote:Oh my goodness!
I think i'm going to cry! With happiness!!
Finally ppl really describing all the effects of being an empath! I am the EXACT same! With all of it! electricity and the works, I've been frisked on many an occasion as I set the machines offQuite embarrassing actually. heehee
Its been a very difficult path being this way, def a blessing and a curse. Its a beautiful gift but i have yet been able to switch it off, take a break. The only way that I can actually be around ppl and not break into a cold sweat is if I am in impeccable state of mind. That means eating well, loads of water, exercise, no t.v, some internet, loads of self reiki etc etc the list goes on.
But there are times that I just want to cry! And cry I do - many dark nights of the soul. Actually had one last night :(
I am still young and I am unable to be with my friends in certain places. I LOVE to dance and now I dance on my own in the kitchen or bedroom. I get very depressed as I sometimes can't even go to the cinema and enjoy a good ol movie.
I will sit at a restaurant with a new SO and I can feel the lady at the back of the restaurant pick up her glass for that matter. Its like a shift in the energy of the area and i feel it. I can sense the ppl outside as they walk by. Its a barrage of information at all times and as a result I suffer very badly from headaches etc.
I have to study via correspondence as I can't write an exam around others. Man it really has changed my life. Started when I was 21.
When I was really young I would sit in the car and watch the ppl walking outside, one man went down an ally and I thought to myself "walk a mile in another's shoes...hummm wonder what that man is feeling like?" that was when the seed was planted.
I had a dream shortly after that and I was given a choice, I chose no. I felt nothing, but it was only for me to grow up living a 'normal' life. But the day after I turned 21 it started up, actually at a dance festival and boy was that a scary moment!
PLEASE!! I need techniques, help, advice, whatever!
I like the mirror thing, but I used to do it like glass so that it just passes str through me.
There are SO many techniques and things, my only concern is this. I read a FAB book recently and they were saying that the only protective method is Truth.
(fear = lack of love, the only way to fix lack of love is with perfect love/unconditional love = Truth = Atonement)
That anything else is a double edged sword. It can cut both ways. Say if you put too much of a shield up you might not let anyone in etc. I have experienced this. So I have now sofened my shield to that it can adapt to its surroundings like a nice bouncy flexible shield.
Know yourself. Know yourself and you will know others. When you can know yourself, you can understand that what you feel may not necessarily be you, though truly they are you. We each see things when we are ready to see them. Understand that others may not feel as you do. Understand that others may not know the effect they have on you or others.RoseRed wrote:Thank you so much for your response!
Its a great book but wow wee is it alot of hard gruelling work on yourself. Its like going to spiritual bootcamp. Doesn't let you get away with anything!
I am busy compiling a little thing on it, as I gather my thoughts and shall post soonish....
Okay I like the shift in attitude, I can def do that - rather care, really care. Cause in essence I'm learning to love myself a little more. Beautiful.
The only hesitation I have is that, yes certainly and def help a person out cause I would love it if I was feeling crappy and someone did the same for me. My 'problem', wrong word to use but you know what I mean, is that how do I clear the air space so that I can also exist. Be totally me, not always be feelings what everyone else is feeling. I can get very airy and far away sometimes as a result, like completely ungrounded. I loose total depth perception and thats dangerous sometimes, like when driving a car![]()
You know there are those rare moments that you just want to be private.
But I do know also that I am this way for a reason and that the reason/reasons will present itself in due time. Its just really difficult. Its also difficult on my close ones (friends and family).
When I'm having a esp rough time I will often say to the Universe, "I know its not meant to be easy otherwise everyone would be doing it...but THIS difficult?"
When I'm having a bad day I can get just so angry and frustrated and just want to scream to the ppl "For Flip sakes get you S_._._ together already! Take some bloody responsibility for your thoughts and feelings, don't go leaking all over the place!!"
I never do.
I just breathe, put my hands on and send healing energy to the situation or to me or wherever the happy vibes need to go.
But I must say - sometimes a little soul destroying...
Thanx again for responding
