I am relatively new to this empath thing and I have been observing myself for quite a while when dealing with emotions and the energy of other people and my own.

I just moved to London a few months ago and I have found a great opportunity for introspection the past few months. I have been throwing out old attitudes that I find are really unnecessary for my growth as a person and have been slowly cutting ties with people who I find are not good for me.

I have visited Hamilton (previous city I lived in) a few times and I find those people I tried so hard to avoid come running after me--all the freaking time. It's like they won't leave me alone. There are a couple people I still like as friends, but not most of my old friends anymore. They were toxic to me and they still are. Also, whenever I come home from Hamilton, I find that I become lazy and irresponsible again, it's like my old life rubs off on me.

See, I'm a nice person and I'm afraid my old friends would be offended if I tell them how I really feel, so I never told them.

Now my question is, how do you not get influenced by other people's negative energy?

Even without his instructions you can do this on your own, allow only love and light to enter your space and send all other energies back to their source, but IQ's technique is very effective. Just remember to release, forgive and bless all energies you are sending away, because you must have pure intention to avoid any further negativity. [/B][/QUOTE]

Thanks, I'll probably try to ask him about it

I'm an Empath, too and found myself asking the same question at times. Once I started clearing away the negativity I had and am still working on it, I found that friends or family kept wanting to pull you closer--almost like opposites attract. How interesting? Anyways, have you heard of Tapping using acupressure points? It didn't help me much the first time I made some attempts, but I just started following the DVD again yesterday for a longer period of time. I went to a seminar over a year ago and sampled it. I even had a flash (prophetic) during the meditation portion of the seminar. Once you do it, the people around you become much nicer and things go well. Actually I seemed to also meet nicer people. The guy who gave the presentation has a website called theuniverselieswithin dot com. I don't know if he does too many international seminars, but I found it as something that really helped and better than getting stuck with those acupuncture needles, which I'm told works off of energy. The tapping is supposed to balance your energy. If you have an imbalance or hole in your aura, I'm told, that's where the negative energy is able to connect with you and further disrupt your balance.

I am an empath as well. I have had to walk away from so called friends (that weren't really friends because true friends do not make you feel like **** ) and family members because they left me feeling gross and heavy. There is no nice way to do it- only a respectful, to the point way. Tell them you wish them well but you need to separate from them for your personal wellbeing. You don't need to apologize or elaborate. It's actually a lot easier then it sounds and you will feel a million times lighter when it's done.

block the solar plexus, when too much negative energy

was being aimed at me.

Obviously you can't walk around like that all the

time (though the purple armour *is* intriguing),

But it might do in a pinch.

IQ is pretty amazing. He helped me quite a lot with things like this and it works. It's up to you to decide what works best for you, though.

I think this happens when we don't want to be 'influenced' by the negative energy perceived from our patients and clientele. Either way, it allows you to regain control over your own energy circuit.

Note that this is a psychic ability rather than analyzing, responding, and sympathizing toward tone, facial gestures, music, and the like.

I see.

Thank you for explaining and providing the link Pixie.

I have to echo the opinions of other by making firm decisions on removing toxic people from your life. If you are visiting your family (and they are not toxic), I would avoid going out in your hometown. There's nothing wrong with ignoring a "friend" who is a psychic vampire. You have to take care of you.
