An Empath's Trouble

That is a deep convo. I hear you, I feel you and I know of the things that you are saying. As for the nuts and bolts of what or to manage these things........For me I am working on meditation and strengthening my own mind to ward off the feelings of others. I for one find most random peoples random emotions annoying. They can be so obvious it is difficult to not comment. Bite my tongue.

Spirit snese I particularly do not mind and find them to be more reasonable. Bite my tongue again. I even made a game when I feel a strong presence or a friends presence called dress a ghost. Take a hoody or jacket and stand back ten feet or so gently toss it with lovingness and thoughtfuness at an object it can get caught on. To understand the energy that is present more then one throw may be needed. Coat hooks and chandeliers work especially well. As for the results I will let you decide for yourself.

Precognition is difficult to deal with as well.... I cannot tell you the number of times I have found myself living just a few secs before things happened knowing whats next. This for me has mostly had negative consequences. There has been rewards as well but the shock of seeing something and knowing whats next is awkward at the best.

I have had these experiences for 20 years now sometimes strongere sometimes weaker. Ebbs and flows like most things in life. My life horoscopes say I will experience this sort of thing in my life so it is not shocking in te littlest. I think for me it is about trying to learn from it and to glide with the tides and acceptance and futility and all sorts of lessons that will never be available to the "normal".

So is this a blessing or a curse ?

Blessed Be

I can at times sense other's emotions but only if they're strong, even more so if they're towards me...so I wouldn't say I'm an empath it just happens from time to time... as for precognitions I have them sometimes through dreams in forms of symbols and not always good things... And before I have time to figure out what my dream meant the things happen one by one and I realize what part of the dream it was... I begun to, to a point, fear my dreams looking out for symbols... till once in a dream I was told "don't fear the symbols"... after that they kinda stopped... so this might have been a one time thing... So I don't know how it is in fact to have abilities like you two do and I only got a little taste of it, I'm sure they can be both a blessing and a curse but it must be better then to spend your time dreaming of having such abilities...

I myself am an empath, and have post cognitive site in the form of dreams. I have found that meditating helps me to block out the feelings of others. However, if I start getting to stressed out over things or overwhelmed by day to day stuff it is harder to do. That is when I take a smudge stick and cleanse the house, and invite it to help cleanse my feelings and thoughts. Being an empath is not always easy to deal with, but you can if you work at it. Of course what in live is easy, the best things are earned in my opinion.

As for the post cognitive thing, it usually comes to me in the form of dreams, and has gotten me into a lot of trouble. It usually services when I know something is wrong, and can't put my finger on it. When I do see things that have happened, I ask the people about them that they have to do with. When they deny it, the dreams seem to come more often until the truth is revealed, and 9 out of 10 times what I dreamed is 95% accurate. Which can be very scary at times, depending on what it was I dreamed.

So is it a curse or a blessing, I believe it to be both at times, but that is something you have to make up your own mind about!

meditate meditate meditate........it is how I deal with it and even then if I am not totally grounded and well sheilded things can seep through, being sick will often make things worse as the body is already in a weakened state.

Meditation is a good practice. It helps focus your thoughts away from what is intruding. For me it is easier because I have to be looking at a persons eyes to pick up strong emotions. I just look away when it becomes to intense. Although once the connection is made it becomes harder to block. Distraction is the best thing to do meditate on something else or even just your heartbeat and breathing. Peace, Love , And Light. -good luck- Bright Blessings

That is so amazing, I feel prescence, but only recently discovered wicca, i would always just pretend that i was imagining things that i would visialise or see in my head. I am so glad that i have found this site. I am also going to do a course so that i can understand more about the abitilies that i have. Sometimes prescence is so strong and i get dizzy and have to sit down, so true bout what they say the more you know the less you fear. Blessed be.

.....I go to the bathroom, occassionally, and run my arms under cool water, then I try to zip up my chakra's, in an effort not to recieve, if trapped, I will rub my hand over the chakra's, envisioning an "eyelid closing" .... and escape the person who is broadcasting as soon as .. lol
....... I don't think there's an easy answer, it was torment growing up in my father's home, he broadcast constantly, and when he got angry........!! well, you can imagine... lol (I left home at 15) .

Wow i really appreciate everyones advise, i am very drawn to amethyst so i think that i am going to get a crystal round my neck made of amethyst. I still have so much to learn, but as they say practice makes perfect. I feel like i am growing stronger by the day, i will learn how to ground myself when the dizzy spells hit and control the prescence. Its very exiting though not having to live in the dark about my abilities anymore.

I am so sorry I don't now what to do about your troubles. For I am real new to this. I only recently discovered why it is that I have never had control of my emotions, and now i now that it isn't my emotion but others. I also have either precognitive or post cognitive ability in the form of flashes of pics in my mind, dreams, and feelings I get. I would also like some help learning how to hone and control my abilities. In my situation I have no one to turn too. The only person in my family that I found to have had this ability too is dead. I would really appreciate any help given.
Blessed Be to All!

Sounds so familiar and similar to what is surrounding my life and the things I experience. What I have found to be most beneficial is 1) meditation 2) yoga and 3) mandalas or sacred geometry. I have fixed a mandala over my entire body and auric field. It's a little bit like a shield that is always there and has helped ease some of the ability to feel others, especially when I don't want to.

Meditation and yoga will help you ground and flow that energy out of your body and recycle it for new and fresh energy!! It's really important to get your energy system flowing properly. Imagine breathing energy in from the Universe and flowing old energy out through your feet. Make your body a unit. I used to go to hospitals and send peaceful healing vibes but it would make me physically ill to the point where I'd have to run outside and go hug a tree. With that in mind...

I also find that taking long walks in nature help with the recycling and doesn't drain me but charges me up in the good way. I also used to throw the old energy or energy from people that I picked up "down a well". You could try visualization with that.

Oh, and your other gifts... sometimes it's easier to remove the fear or anxiety you feel from having them. It sounds like you feel as though you are in box. Stop and breathe, look around and realize that you are not in the box. When the gifts are met with resistance, they become "stronger" or rather, more insistent. Allow them to come as they are a part of who you are. Acceptance. There are many of us out there. There are many people in this life that you will meet who also have gifts but are not fully conscious of them. You are blessed. When you are to meet others who have them and are aware of them, you will. Patience and understanding is all it takes. :)

Love
