From my own POV(Point Of Veiw) this must be handled carefully. I am slightly an empath and if I tap into a feeling that is too strong my mind tends to start to over work and causes me a lot of pain. So if you are slightly Empathic or are. Try and learn to control it beacuse if you don't you could end up in a lot of trouble in the end. IE.
Headaches
Aches & pains where you know you don't hurt.
Strong emotion over load (ie. you start crying for no reason.) etc

This is no joke and I am being honest. I am in my own nature a healer and therefore I can sense other peoples pain when I lest expected it. To much pain can cause you pain has well. So please be careful, if you ever feel any thing like I metioned sometimes the best thing to do is just lay down and closes your eyes and rest and focus on other things. Like calming music or your own breathing.

I'm a strong empath and I totally agree with her. Empathy is not a fun skill. I more times than not hate it.

[Female_Jedi_Master]

The biggest thing that points out if an emapth is getting to much around them is they look worn and drained and they are compling they have a headache. This headache is showing there is to much going on around the empath and it could be hurtting them baddly and there is no way to heal an empath of a headache expect get them the hell out of area and into someplace calm or find some calming music of type.

[JediKaren]

yeah...here's a tip to all natural empaths: shield yourself BEFORE you go into a chatroom full of hyper people...augg I still have a headache from it.

[iwearthestar]

I direct or channel the energy (pain), into the ground......it passes out pretty easy if I imagine it going down my body through the soles of my feet to the center of the earth. I do the same with rage and anger coming from people if too many people are being affected by it and unable to shield

[JediKaren]

thanks...I'll have to try that next time I get into a crowded place

[iwearthestar]

By doing that sometimes I can actually see that an attack was not personal, or even conscious. I become very grounded and don't even have to run their energy for long at all...they become receptive to taking it back...again usually not on a conscious level,..... and taking responsibility for their own stuff.....
If they are psychotic, or sociopathic I don't try to run their energy at all, I just ground myself, shield as best I can, listen, and try to keep fallout from affecting unsuspecting people too much...

[Female_Jedi_Master]

Some people are gifted with how to cope while others like myself suffer in pain sliently everyday of my life. Yet I have come to see one thing and that is. We all have our own unquie gifts and we all have our own deep inner strenght. We all should accpet what we have and love ourself for who we are and what we can do. ^_^

[iwearthestar]

Yes DreamsareWindows, some people are so sensitive sheilding or channeling out might be different. I can't fathom that depth of empathy and respect it

[Female_Jedi_Master]

I myself have come to see because of something else that I am. I am a lot more senstive then a normal empath. I tend to feel things 100times worse then a normal empath. Yet on the plus side of this after I have it I will never feel that again inless the emotion I sensed is stronger then what I sensed before. Yet your right no on can know how ar empathy goes nor the type or the strenght alone in everyones own sheild.

Question for Jedikaren: When I first joined, You added me on your instant messengar. We had one little chat online but you seemed to have gotten cut off and never signed back in.

(My hotmail user name is lilaug1)

I was very energetic that day- and was wondering if maybe you felt very uncomfortable chatting with me and had to hang up.

Im not offended-- because I dont think i'd really feel comfy chatting with myself at times either!

[JediKaren]

[Boldylocks]

No worries JediKaren-

firesea, i'd love ya to add me on messengar! my hotmail is [e-mail]

Right now i was trying to sign onto msn messengar, but it wouldnt let me sign in yet. They must be doing maintenance on some of the servers.

feel free to add me! i dont tend to chat for too long- because i have limited time- but I always try to touch base with folks daily :-) so you will see me online most nights -and I will send a "hello" in your direction ;D

[azarel]

lol, first time I discovered I was empathic was about 5 years ago...it happened at a very crowded fair, and my empathy just happened to open up...and well, you can guess what happened. Few hours later, I was ready to fall dead, literally. So, I'd advise, careful of crowds and fairs, its something that is VERY painful.

JediKaren, would like to get to talk with you some more, I'm sorry about last time, I had been going through a really rough time and the whole transition thing was draining me...Hope to speak with you soon.

Namaste,

Crystal
