Empathic Ability:
Part 2 – turning off
So you’re empathic – been called a cry baby, told – don’t wear your heart on your sleeve and stop worrying all the time, geez!
For the most part, empathic people tend to express themselves energetically towards other people, hence not protecting their own energy. They give away their power, usually without realizing it!
What if you could turn it off and on? That would mean freedom!!
Step 1 – There is no secret switch, no magic powder that can be swallowed or touched. In order to change something we need to first acknowledge it. This means that if you all of a sudden feel a certain way, you must explore it. Stop the ‘chatter’ in your head, (the chatter of – why, what’s wrong, omg)….to sit back and take a much needed deep, lingering breath and ask yourself, “what am I feeling right now?” It could be anger, sadness, fear, etc. It’s important to identify the feeling instead of trying to ignore it.
Stop analyzing, stop trying to figure out where it’s coming from…you’re skipping too many steps! For now, just feel – do not identify!
Step 2 - Once the ‘feeling’ is identified (sadness, anger, fear, resentment, etc) then sit with it, let the emotions flow. You may start to see that one emotion turns into another, you may even be able to see in your minds eye who this emotion is actually attached to. Once you do this say something to the effect, “all that is not mine, leave immediately!” You have free will, that is your controlled power.
Remember, just because you get an intuitive ‘hit’ doesn’t mean you are suppose to do something with it. It’s not selfish to think and do for yourself.
Being empathic doesn’t have to mean crippled with emotion. Look at it as an inside look at a wrapped book. You can profile anyone, meaning you can get into the head/feelings of anyone if you wish. Don’t take things personally, when you get your emotions twisted and combined with what the outside ‘feelings’ are, it gets complicated and you will run in circles and receive nothing but a headache. Don’t take it personally, don’t analyze, or make excuses. Trust, know and filter.
For Example – try this with a friend; sit across from someone to practise your empathic skills with them. You can hold their hands if you wish, but remain relaxed. Then just FEEL! Wrap yourself like a blanket with their energy, like you become them. Say to yourself, I am (_insert name_), what do I feel? Do I ‘feel’ heavy, sad, depressed, sick, fear, rejection, etc…remember your feeling words! Be sure to say exactly how you are feeling, include any images you may see. Do NOT say things like, well this probably isn’t right but, blah, blah!! That’s being negative and dismissing the information you receive.
You will be amazed at what you can actually do with the skill you already possess!
Be sure to leave your comments for me please. I read and appreciate everyone of them! xoxo

An Empath is a person who can tune in to the emotional experience of a person, place or animal. In the paranormal and in some works of science fiction and fantasy, highly developed empathy is a psychic ability to sense the emotions of others and often highly aware of the health and state of mind of their loved ones, no matter how physically near or far away the individuals may be.
