Looking for a good grounding technique as I pick up a lot of energy from others.

What seems to be good and that I use for myself (I'm not an intuitive reader but a tarot / oracle deck reader):

- Ritual of reading aid with prayer to angels or meditation
- Use of stones: amethyst, Amazonite, Rock crystal, Chryssocolle, Labradorite, Pink quartz, Tiger eye, Black onyx.
- Keep both feet flat on the floor during readings
- know and identify limits before feeling too drained and tired, take longer or shorter breaks without reading,
- Know / identify limits for the number of free readings you want to offer ...
- When not enough energy but you want to read anyway, read for the readers with which the energies seem to resonate well and are good / easy. Forget fast readings ..

You are right about the intuitive. It's like having a gift of awareness. When someone is tired because of their health, or have extremes of emotion (joy, anger, etc.) and other health issues or habits they deal with on a daily basis, I tend to pick up a lot of this when they are thinking about me at the time.

I do have one, though, that when I thought of them years ago and created the connection, I'm finding that they want to keep the connection and not release. Not sure if there is something different I can do for that (empath...connection between two empaths).

I will start trying your suggestions today.
