Try this, pull out all the pain and negativity you can feel from your eye. Feel the long threads of negativity leave your eye - do this for five or ten minutes or as long as you like depending on the severity of the pain, then wrap all the string into a ball, hold it in your palm, see it transform itself into positive white light and let it go.

This works for me and it's very simple: envision a white protective light around your body, like an aura. This will stop the negative vibes from harming you

Here's a little mantra to repeat for people who feel the emotions of others too much: "The energy in my aura is my energy."

Plus showers and bathing, water rituals in general, are good for cleansing. I'll light a couple candles and just use plain sea salt in a bath to recharge.

Although -- do you think you might have mediumistic ability? Because often a spirit will make its presence known by temporarily giving the medium a physical symptom that spirit once had in life, for identification to the person who is supposed to get the message -- sort of like a phantom pain, no pun intended. Usually voicing the symptom or asking people around one if they knew anyone who had such a condition (you can find a casual way of working it into the conversation), is enough to make the symptom subside, almost immediately. You'd be surprised how often somebody pipes up with something like "That reminds me of my Uncle George!"

Also, could well be that you gave her some healing energy through your Third Eye -- which could explain the tiredness and ache in that area. Avoid very dark purples and yellow, which overstimulate that chakra, and try to surround yourself with a white, silver, or pink light. Green or pink are good for replenishing the heart chakra.

Finally -- and you'll have to forgive me, you probably know a lot of this stuff already! -- do some deep breathing -- consciously breathe out negativity, adn consicously breathe in vitality, positivity, pink, green, white or silver light, etc. etc.

Good luck, w_Evil. It's wonderful to hear that you're working on the healing vibe.

I sometimes get inexplicable pains randomly, but mostly when i practise healing it is highly directed and i get an instant pysical feedback on the condition of the person in question, and they dont even have to be physically nearby most of the time.

I've been trying to post this for a couple of days, but Life is giving me a lesson in chaos theory.

First - What an awesome ability! I have never tried distance healing. I have to literally be 'hands-on'. It is draining! And I too absorb the pain.

Unfortunately, I had to learn to protect myS-elf the hard way. Trial and error!
Everyone has given you great advice! Visualization and cleansing are important to protection.

In addition, I thought I would share what works best for me.
When I am actually performing a healing, I keep a piece of green Tourmaline in my pocket or around my neck. It reinforces YOUR healing ability and helps to shield your energy.
For those times when the Tourmaline is not with me, or the 'negative' energy is just too much, I use Obsidian after the healing to absorb the pain and negativity from my body. A few quiet minutes, simply holding the crystal in my hands or placing it directly on the 'spot' that hurts, does the trick.
Ancient healers used Obsidian blades to perform delicate surgeries that usually healed with little scarring. I have often wondered if that was due to Obsidian's ability to absorb negative energy from the tissues?
A Quartz crystal cluster can be used in this same way to channel the pain away from your body.

BTW, the size of the crystal does not make a signicant difference in how well it works.
After using a crystal this way, cleanse it under running water and put it in a sunny window to re-charge. I have also cleansed my crystals by placing them in a dish of salt. Just be sure to discard the salt!

Hope this helps! You have a wonderful gift!
Never forget that the more healing energy you send out, the more it will come back to you!
