I had a lengthier post here, and have decided to just practice more grounding and shielding. However, I'm still uncertain about focusing my energy while transiting Neptune is very active in my natal chart, where it's already very prominent. I know that I can direct my energy strongly, and I pick up on the energy of other people very strongly. But at this time, more focus and control is needed. If anyone has any suggestions, I would really appreciate it. IP: Logged |

Sorry, this isn't a forum that I frequent often, but maybe I should consider it.The main update is that I believe I am either an empath, or have very minimal medium/psychic abilities, or a little of both (or however one chooses to word it). I know that I send energy to people, and they feel it. That much has been deciphered objectively. I know that I pick up on residual energy from people, and probably from what would be considered discarnate entities, and also human spirits who may just be wandering around for whatever reason. If someone has been in my house, for example, when I walk into a room they might have spent a lot of time in, it feels very tangible like there is a human spirit in the room. I don't think that's usually the case (that it's a human spirit), although sometimes I suspect it is. There are enough of them in my neighborhood, I just work to keep them out of my house without being disrespectful. But, in addition to other people picking up on my energy inadvertently (sometimes it's intentional), I am also very affected by the energy of others. I don't mind the first bits (I think it's very beneficial to be aware of the energies around us), but the other stuff...the "keep our energies in our own yard" so to speak...that can get bothersome. I suppose there are techniques that I'm probably aware of that I can use to protect myself from the energy of others, but it's really hard when it's people I'm related to. Also, I'm a generally sensitive person, and can feel slighted pretty easily, so a lot of negativity doesn't roll off my back. It gets stuck there, and I have to clear it out. Anyway, just sort of wondering about other people's experiences. I was perusing the threads and saw this one, and figured I would give it another bump (thanks Randall). IP: Logged |

Me, too, and I'm actually going to stop visiting again, because my mood is so... I can't even describe it. I'm not picking this up, though - this is me, so I don't want to inflict it on anyone. The thing is, I stopped visiting facebook, checked one email only once, stopped visiting almost everywhere, and I was too lonely. I came out of hiding, because I needed some sort of interaction, but I don't want to be drowning others. You could try Tomato flower essence. From Master's Essences. I'm going to find mine. I took six different essences in water, last Saturday night, and something freed me for a couple of days. I'm going to clean, smudge, and repaint (at some point). IP: Logged |

Gahh! I can identify with all of that soooo much. Do you mean essential oil-type essences, or...? I use them in the bath fairly regularly, and I asked my husband to smudge our home yesterday. I'll probably do it again this weekend. IP: Logged |

One thing I've found that works really nicely is that I add dried pine needles, oregano, and lavender flowers to my sage when I smudge.I believe that it clears out negativity beautifully, as long as I have the proper focus and intent while I'm doing it. I also use the oregano/lavender mix with my baking soda when I put it down for carpet freshener. That also seems to help. IP: Logged |

Interesting! The label looks familiar, but I'm somewhat surprised that I don't think I'm familiar with the concept...*goes to link to read more* IP: Logged |

OMG - I cannot wait to try that! Violet, you are probably both psychic and an empath. Embrace it as it's a gift. In regards to blocking unwanted energy (I'm still learning myself) I think that practice makes perfect... That and to remember that everything is a choice. It's our choice whether we let it severely affect us or block it - mind over matter (which I realize is easier said than done but something remind ourselves of).

Thanks, Ann! It somehow helps to know that there are names and definitions for what I pick up on energetically. I'll get to practice the mind over matter part when I go to visit my mom for my birthday. IP: Logged |

Wow okay, seems I've found some kindred folks here. yayViolet... The question you posed is 'How can I keep people from feeling my energy??' I don't know if you mean that in a way that you 'want privacy', and that you feel you don't have that anymore? ... In the more 'telepathic-type' realms today, I think we're all getting more psychic? .... I'm feeling that perhaps those days of deepest privacies are diminishing. I too am a person who needs to have her space, yet finding that new technologies are invading. The 'curtain' has thinned, and as we 'stand in the light', people can 'see' us-- like you can see people looking through gauze-curtains. Consciousness and the numbers of people having Awakening-experiences these days make inner privacy almost impossible. We ARE all part of same basic human consciousness. As the internet 'collects' our personal info and gets 'into our heads' with tailored viewing, I think this is effecting a kind of cool evolution in our consciousness as well! There are media theories-- (EricFrancis, McLuhan Effect)! Things may be seeming so surreal right now with 'personalization,' that I feel it has played a part in dredging and tapping some hidden talents, or lost human capacity, in the realms of telepathic fields, (meta-knowing). What a cool thing to be discovering, as a desirable or undesirable unseen positive-consequence?! All will be more and more transparently real. Our task may be towards learn how to manage ourselves in bright new ways. Violets, I wonder if one answer would be to be 'aware' a group of people (like here), or perhaps being/living within a group of people with same sensitivities who would agree to act with highest 'maturity' and have a good-heartedness and attitude of supporting each other. Then you (all) could 'learn' through the transparency there, and real forgiveness and feedback you'd get. Of course? Learning to self-master in a group called 'your family' qualifies too... (I remember your thread around a year ago in SP.... and by the way, Happy Coming Birthday. You going "with" your child this time, or will 'she' come to you for a visit again?! ) What a way to hone a gift, maybe?... yeah it's idealistic--- to build an intentional community, similar level as oneself. But it wouldn't be like cutthroat (for what I'm thinking about-- would not be like those competition dog-destroy-dog TV shows). I dream of being among others who are morally ethically good-people, generous people, who want to personally advance and grow. And in doing so, help towards the healthy upward evolution of others. (Sheesh~! Maria left the monastery!! ) When people 'stay' with each other, you learn the imprint they give-off. From there, I think it's all management -- of self-states, and others when things do and will go awry.

Thanks, Mirage. I think when I posed the original question, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed with the Neptune transit that I've been experiencing off and on. I do suspect that my energy is rather palpable sometimes, but I suppose it's not as much of a concern now at this point. I think some things need to happen, like I need to clear my energy out a bit, and work on strengthening my aura. That might take some time, but I'm okay with that. IP: Logged |

I've wanted to work via email, or a private blog, on exercises together with people, like T, and others, but I wouldn't know whether to follow one book, try tarot cards, etc. A private blog, or email group. Five years ago, I was too shy to meet with a group of women from a tarot forum. At the time, I thought my stresses would be short-lived. Hi mirage. IP: Logged |

Ah, thank you for bumping my thread, Teasel!I have again been feeling a bit of this lately. While I was perusing this forum a while back, I found this meditation from iQ, and it really resonated with me. http://www.tamsoft.co.in/violet.html I'm getting ready to read the link you posted, thank you!

Sorry if I got you into mischief on that Virgo moon thread, Violets.It got locked before I could clarify what I meant when I said Spongebob was lumping people together in a bad way. Wrong choice of words-- I just don't like when people randomly accuse "some people" of something....ambiguous accusation. Anyway, I like your energy (obviously), but see you getting stressed sometimes, and wish I could help. Your chart is so hard though, it's no wonder. Wishing you happiness

Thank you, Faith. I didn't take that one comment the wrong way, I understood entirely what you were saying. Yeah, that level of negativity seriously fried my energy. I'm still recuperating. Do you really think my chart is that hard?! I suppose it is, but mostly really getting hit right now, and the synastry with that thread is actually exactly what I had suspected, but worse, lol. I your energy too, of course. IP: Logged |

Also, Faith...I'm sorry if I dragged you into that nasty interaction. I didn't mean to. It got really bad there, and I felt like we were all on some sort of f*cked up merry-go-round that we couldn't get off of. Ughhhh. I should probably burn some sage, and pray a bit. IP: Logged |

^^ I thought it was..manageable..until the vile insults came at me...when I had thought, I was only "lightly sparring" with the OP. Then, people were all like...ageist and stuff. Pfftttt Gotta laugh it off. Merry-go-round, carnival days happen. But I was thinking of this thread earlier when someone actually killed my buzz, and I could not escape the bad energy (!!) ...When oh when will marijuana be legal in state? For times like those? ^ Just kidding. I listened to some meditation stuff and I'm wobbling back to "normal." Yes, sun-moon squaring nodal axis...feels hard to me. When just the sun is transiting square my nodes the day always sucks. I made a thread about it before. Sun-moon BOTH square nodes must feel worse? I can only imagine really. But of course we all get used to our charts and it feels normal most of the time...except my Mercury's t-square never feels right...always lopsided or something. Mentally joining the sage burning...
