I am one. It can’t be prevented. Meditation helps a lot. If you are working on your chakras, begin from the root chakra, move step by step. Otherwise your system might get messed up.IP: Logged |

If I'm feeling overwhelmed the best thing for me to do is to start thinking of myself very selfishly: What do I want to give? What do I want to get? Who do I want to talk to? Where do I want to go? When do I want to get there? Etc.Very immediate selfish (not always a bad word!) thoughts. Then I quickly become centered if I feel like the quote end quote feelers are out there, if I start feeling over-extended. Everything becomes about the moment. Anyway that's what works for me. But then again I haven't given the subject much thought. Maybe there are quicker or simpler ways to get there. IP: Logged |

I'm an Empath. Very underdeveloped though. I haven't really done anything with it because I don't really know what to do.It's not about preventing it. When you use those words, you make it sound like more of a curse. It's about using it and learning to work with it. Apparently developed Empaths can actually transfer emotions to other people. Think about what you can do with that! Really the best that you can do is avoid negativity; avoid the negative situations. Then you can work on Chakras (as mentioned above). Grounding techniques (which is really a way to work on the Root Chakra) will help keep you clean from other people's energy. When you're in public, figuring out some kind of protection will help you keep clean from other people's negative energy. It also helps you from feeling drained. I can't say I've done much grounding because a lot of the techniques require visualization which I just can't do. Plus I'm a tad lazy. IP: Logged |

I respectfully disagree, but understand that everyone is unique in their techniques and understanding. Others may want to try working the chakras in a different order than sequential. Edgar Cayce writes about the chakra flow based on the supposedly true intention of Jesus's instruction through the Lord's Prayer. It is more effective IMO than working the chakras sequentially as is generally accepted. I'm not sure which book published this but you can seek this Cayce info out on your own and try it if you want. IP: Logged |

Beer works for me... Joking. Kind of. It depends on the energy... If it's really heavy / depressing I will put on a happy movie or tv show and let that absorb my thoughts. I'm way too ADD to meditate or do the chakra thing. IP: Logged |

Aha! Maybe that's the reason I can't too, at least not consistently. I was advised that healing, i.e., sending healing to others, would provide the focus and motivation I needed. It is well defined, linear and brief relative to meditation, and includes chakra balancing. Healing can work as a meditation substitute with the same spiritual benefits. IP: Logged |

Agreed! I send healing and protection to others in short spurts. I focus on the person, I say a prayer for what ever positive stuff I think they need and then I picture them surrounded by white light. I do this daily for my family in regards to protection and when needed with life's other stuff. The short, sweet, full intensity system seems to work pretty good for me... I find that I feel pretty calm and centered once I'm done. Otherwise (if I try to focus for a long period) I'm like Mike Meyers as the hyper hypo - After a while I mentally veer off in a hundred different directions. IP: Logged |

I'm not entirely sure of what an empath is, honestly.But, looking at the link, I would say that I am to some extent (more so with other people I either share a strong bond with, or who also possess some abilities). I don't know that it bombards me that much, although my mood is easily influenced by the overall energy of other people, or even by what I read. I can feel my chakras move unpleasantly out of whack if I read something that bothers me, or that's negative in some way. Like it's an actual physical sensation. I would say that I also have this ability with plants and trees (trees more than smaller plants). We cut down the Oshima cherry trees that were in our back yard (which I didn't want to do, but we decided maybe it was best because they were diseased), but I had insisted that we keep them because I just felt really strongly that those trees wanted help, and to be cared for properly. We didn't know how to do that, because they had been left unattended for a while and were not in great shape... But when they were cut down I went outside and cried, and I put my hand on the trees and let healing energy flow from my hands to them...as though I were comforting them in their last hour. I also know for a fact that a few things have happened with another person, where there was a psychic connection. When that person was suddenly ill, I felt sick for no apparent reason (having absolutely no idea that they were sick at that moment), and I smelled something unpleasant. I felt a "snapping" like a twig in my mind, and later found out that at that moment they had experienced a nose bleed, and had been ill. So...I'm not sure what that makes me.

I suppose I should start a thread, rather than hijacking someone else's. Sorry, this forum is pretty new to me. IP: Logged |

Damn, I'm an empath. I never thought of myself as one because I knew a powerful psychic which was a burden to him (though he had some cool stories of communicating with animals and found the company of animals better than humans) and another friend who endures a lot because of it...I figured I'd learned to become very alert as it was important to my survival as a child and that I had a vivid imagination, and more importantly if I was an empath or I could always read minds even when sober that I'd probably hide in a cave as it would be too much. I know just how bloody in tooth and claw that nature is (*) and how that same nature is in all of us, and while I accept that I really don't want to be aware of those impulses consciously or subconsciously repressed/suppressed and/or projected in all around me as it would be very disturbing. (*Don't make the common mistake of dichotomy and either/or. By acknowledging the merciless side of nature, human and cosmic and even metaphysical, I don't therefore discount the other aspects that are beautiful nor consider humanity evil. As Sirius Black put it, so perfectly IMO, "We've all got both light and dark inside of us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are." And acknowledging it is the first step to overcoming it in one's self and in the world around us. Pretending it doesn't exist just makes us more vulnerable to it, that which exists inside us and that which surrounds us, and quite possibly adds to it as our own unacceptable traits gets projected into those around us as we can't admit that's part of us--which can include kindness for some, btw, but a kindness seen as weakness that must be crushed so looks to others who are kind, or imagined as weak anyway, and crush them as a scapegoat without awareness because they refuse to acknowledge what exists within themselves.) I'll have to think about how and why I'm not so overwhelmed in case it can help. Assuming that link is accurate and I'm an empath then I think I might be able to offer some insight here...but I'm tired and need to get to bed. I'm mainly replying so I don't forget this.
