(What I write I am not sure if it is true, only my understanding of things)
Well, it is easy to 'sense' someone's emotion by reading their body language. I think in an article or a post one of the mods of this site discusses that. I have always been extraordinary at reading people's thoughts and feelings and had always just attributed it to my complete understanding of body language and facial expressions. But after visiting this site i started to put some understand to my flighty emotional-shifts.
The best way to learn more about this is to read the articles that are up on the main site. It is my understanding that an empath will not only know what someone is feeling, but feel it themselves as well. This is hard to do, but with some training you can learn to open yourself and feel for the feelings that people transmit.
Most people are unaware that empaths exist. Most feel that psycic powers are possible, but are very skeptical and unlikely to ever persue knowledge on them because of the Taboos set in place in their society (atleast in american society). These untrained individuals therefore unknowingly transmit their emotions, sometimes quite powerfully. The strongest emotions we feel are in the extremes... Hate, Anger, and Fear are usually transmitted to send signals to those around you to piss-off or to be afraid. The sender might be unaware that he is not just expressing his emotions physically (through body language, and vocal patterns) but also is expressing his feelings on a psychic level.
Since I am a natural, I never had to train to be able to read people (or maybe I did train and didn't realize what i was doing), so I can only tell you how I read people and hope that that could help you practice.
When I am in a room full of people, I usually have a way of shutting myself off, not receiving from people. I can then focus on an individual close by and 'reach out' with my mind. It sort of feels like reaching my mental hand and arm towards the person who I am visualizing in my head. When my eyes are closed I think of my surroundings and attempt to move my consiousness toward the person I am trying to read. Usually within seconds my mood starts to change, I start to feel what they feel. Sometimes this is fun when the person is happy, giddy, or in love. Mostly this is not fun to me as I have felt deep depression, anger, fear, and unnatural lust from people.
Mostly, I only try to feel people I am trying to help (which is anyone who displays a desire for help to me). Once you can make a connection and feel something someone else does, you can push your own emotions back at them. This can calm down angry people, or work up bored people. Take your pick, but beware openning yourself up, empathy is a gift and a curse...

i dont know how to practise it, i just walk around trying to feel emotions
at first i could only pick up negative emotions like sadness, depression, and a little anger
now im begining to get other emotions. its really fun, cause i know how people feel and how to react, despite their apperances.
like my cousin's fake crying dont fool me anymore. and i laugh at my brother when we'er trying to annoy each other, and i begin to get annoyed, but then he dosnt want to show that hes annoyed too. and a laugh at him and asks if he forgot that i know what hes feeling.
then he tries to deny it, then i begin telling him exactly how he feels, and how his emotions are changing while im telling him what he was feeling. then he shuts up and walks away, then i yell how hes feeling now at him.
it basicly paing attention to your emotions and asking yourself why you would be feeling "this" emotion now.

That's pretty much it. It's usually easy for me,but every now and then i find it difficult to read someone.
