I can feel others emotions...

Hey Angel, you've got mail .... need your advice

Absolutely. For years people have called me instead of a shrink, 'cause I usually understand their viewpoint much better. My little secret is that I just pick up the impression from their mind and I know all I need to know really.

Off for the night, great comparing notes with all of you. Perhaps we should start an empaths thread, to help each other develop our abilities further. Always room to grow, you know :)

Great advice here, develop the shield, you are probably young at this point and can still handle the energy it takes. Later you will find your shield, you have to. But the sooner you learn how to handle it, the happier you are going to be. Congrats, and good luck.

OP try www.mysilentecho.com

tons of info for you

I never thought about it that way either. Interesting theory. I don't like keeping up appearances, the status quo, etc., either. I wonder if this is due to being an empath too.

Regarding trends and empaths, it can also be said that empaths know themselves better than most. By knowing what belongs to others, you know what is truly yours.

Sounds to me like simple natural telepathy.. yeahh.. I get this all the time.. which is why I've become very 'dubious' of people at times.. so have less & less contact with the outside world now. I 'feel' so much pain & anger in people, most people actually.. it's bloody horrible!
I wish I could find a way of controlling it better.. hate picking up people's emotions like that. It's even more 'freaky' picking up actual thought info.. such as words.. even whole sentences of what they are 'about' to say or what they're thinking. Actually.. sometimes it's exciting..!
I find the most fucked up minds emotionally are womens...

I called myself the ear when I was younger. I knew everybodys dirt on everything! The lives I could have ruined! LOL

Very True!!

Thanks Hon got it:) sent it back.

Love and Blessings,

Angel

can you feel me now ...?

It has taken me 20 years to be able to control my empath abilities (35 now). Knowing people's emotions and strangely animals as well. I can easily control human emotions I receive, but have a difficult time with animals, especially dying or dead animals.

For me, I picture the emotions as a colored fog that envelops me and can move it away from me if needed. While it may sound silly, this visualization allows my brain to decipher what is mine and what isn't and allows me to block unwanted empathic emotions.

But truly be careful. many severe empaths commit suicide all the time as they can't handle the negative emotions. If they are around people thinking about suicide, they sometimes follow through before their transmitter.

Meditation works wonders, but you have to know yourself very well. Know who you are and it's easy to decipher everyone else's thoughts. But knowing yourself that well is not easy.

Agree ! Excellent observations as others have said.

haha, i just read all the comments... my girlfriend calls me a "Vampire" because, I am German, i have palish skin, i dont go into the sun much, i have this...Empathy ability, i hardly eat regular food (i mostly only eat sweets), and i can look into her eyes and i can tell what shes thinking. Im not sure if "Vampire" works out with my abilty.. it just may be because shes a Twilight fan :P ..It's really hard trying to block out peoples emotions, and suicide has occured to me many times before i met my girlfriend. But now, i dont want to die, i just want to live. This abilty has its advantages and disadvantages. I have tried to block her emotions out.. so many times... all tries has failed.. i can block mostly everyones emotions...exept hers.. but also, when there are to many people in a room or near me.. i cant block a single one, so is her emotions really strong to be able not to be blocked by me? i know that her Emotions are painful.. but, can someone have a bond with this ability?

Ich bin ein empath OP. Manchmal ist es sehr anstrengend. Oh, und Ihr Englisch ist viel besser als mein Deutsch lol

Hallo! :] es ist ok, do you speak Englisch? im glad there are other empaths.. i thought i was alone.

Oh yes, I speak english :)



you are not alone my dear :)

we all have those qualities and they grow wiser abd stonger in life.. so with age comes wisdom to see beyond what is really going on. . . wisdom gives a person the ability to see situations from all sides. Judges possess these qualities to arrive at decisions. potentially great sales people have these qualities and a fine training program wll let these folks earn huge incomes during thier lifetime.

Awesome ^^ i've been wondering this for awhile.. but i just never had the courage to make something like this.. i thought people would think i was crazy :\

hm... im only 15... and i can feel so much, and i can block so much.. so, these bonds do exist?

lol

well...maybe we're all a little crazy...:)

Ha, very true :]

I didn't figure this stuff out till I was in my twentys. I used to think I was crazy as well.


It's a gift that must be treated with respect.



Tell yr girlfriend she's a psychic vampire. A soul sucker. LOL :D

I'm like you too and congratulate you on discovering your gift at such a young age.

You have free will so no one can harm you psychically unless you consciously or unconsciously invite them in, so do whatever makes you feel protected; say a prayer every morning, or something as simple as "Thank you God" at night. I visualize myself surrounded by a fluffy soft egg-shaped cocoon that buffers me from others who may carry anger, depression, hatred, jealousy, or other emotions I don't want to take on. If someone is especially pushy, I visualize the cocoon with a tough outer layer that is mirrored on the outside, sending their energies back to them.

A way to use your gift for healing is to visualize yourself as a hollow instrument, (like the image of a peace pipe or a hollow tree), and take on another's pain voluntarily but allow it to flow right on out through you, not stopping to persist in your body. I've only done this a couple of times with loved ones, it would be too intense for me to handle with other people.

I was in my 30s before I looked on sensitivity as a positive thing. All my life I was told I was too sensitive and made to feel shame for that, then I found this book, "Are You Really Too Sensitive?" and it changed everything.

Hi Shawn -

It seems that your body has developed a system to communicate other people's state to you.

All you have to do is talk to your body and ask it to give you a different sign than the ones it is using now. That way it will not make you so uncomfortable.

For instance, my hubby's back was giving him a very painful experience each time we completed a healing procedure - so we changed the message from his back to one of a tingly nose - much better!

You might want to find yourself a stone known as Black Tourmaline. Try and get a piece small enough to fit in your pocket.

Black Tourmaline can be used to both repel and protect against negativity. It is good for protecting against psychic attacks or spells aimed towards you as well.

It also helps your root chakra connect to the center of the Earth. Good for grounding.

Also, it doesn't hurt to walk barefoot outside on the ground from time to time. Most of us wear rubber soled shoes which insulates you from the Earth's energy.

Also, actually hugging a large tree with deep roots is excellent for grounding.

Everyone! i need help!!.. my head and emotions are going insane... my own emotions... ive been breaking down for no reason and start crying... i think its because it was the last day of school today.. and its the last time i could see my girlfriend until 4 months from now.. because she cannot see me outside of school because of her parents and brother.. and i think me and her have a bond... but im not sure.. i really need help, i feel like im going insane... please someone help me!!! :[

Sending hugs and peaceful energy and prayers to you. Just know that you are never alone, we are all surrounded by a sea of Love ... you will be okay.

i hope i will.. thank you so much... i just really wish i could see her right now... my hearts been actually hurting.. and my heads been out of wack :\ i just.. love her so much... and anything could happen... she suppose to have a friend from Colorado come to her house (its a guy) and he used to love her... and he still does...
