Doubts about Empathy

[elimoon19]

i have been having strange feelings regarding my empathy ability.
since i havent used it much, its been really weak.
and someone give me about .. a "muscle" theory.. that when you dont do something, it could go away.

the thing is, even i dont feel emotions. i feel energies.
like brainwaves.. those are the objects that enable
to connect to someone.

so energy sensory..
i believe thats part of how empaths and telepaths connect
to others..

but does a REAL empath has to have the ability to also
SEND emotions?
i cannot do that. i am a receive nature of empath.
do i still count as an empath?
or is it my imagination?

how do i test myself at this time when my empathy is weak..
because before, i tested every single day..
and i could taste what other people taste..
feel what others feel ..
i can detect negative and positive energies..

but now,
how do i know if i am still an empath ?




i need some help really.
because of my more "personal" problems
it has lead to ignore my CORE psionic ability.
=(

aww.. its alright, its easy to get back in the saddle when you dont practice for a while, you should try to trigger different emotions in yourself, then start trying to poke around other people.. it may seem like your starting over but your not.. you'll get it back after a little trying.. believe me ive been there

read my signature's phrase!

Hello elimoon! Just a couple of points, welcome to Psiworld, and it might be good not to use the enter key per every phrase and instead write in whole sentences with proper grammar Anyway, you might want to ask some other empaths around you to see if you really are an empath or not, and read some articles on the main page

Good luck

Hmmm. Well, from what you've written, it does sound like you're a natural empath. You experience alot of the things that an empath would typically experience (I'm a natural, also).

Now, everyone is different. And this applies very much to psionics, as well. Personally, I'm better at recieving, just like you wrote that you are. It just comes naturally to me. Here's the thing to remember: Just because you can't send emotions and feelings (right now, anyway) doesn't mean you're not a "real empath".

Only you can truly answer the question of whether or not you're an empath. But just know that an empath doesn't have to be able to do EVERY possible empathic skill at first. The only thing I could do when I first started training was only able to recieve emotions and sensations and I couldn't control when I got them and how strong they were. Now, I can recieve, control what I recieve and send. You just need to practice. Take baby steps: maybe set aside fifteen to thirty minutes a day for only training and I gaurentee you your abilities will strengthen.

It's important that you have faith in what you can do and trust yourself. Doubt is your worst enemy. It can cause you to abandon your abilities and make you think that you can't do the things that you feel in your heart you're capable of.

And remember: we're all here if you have questions or need help.

I do not find it possible to get weaker... you only forget things from time to time, but once you remember them again there should be no more problem. Does water forget that it is water? Yes? No? It doesn't matter, because the way of the world still makes waves out of it, crashing into the beach. Nothing changes, even with the coming of a storm.

That is true. If you know you are an empath, you know that. It's not like water will somehow change into a person. It knows that it is water, and will always be water. Most of the time.

thanks Liz and others. =)
i'll just have faith in myself ...

if your naturally a recieving empath you still are an empath but it just takes a little time and effort to redirect your emotions at a person or thing

I'm a natural to and sometimes I have my doubts about myself. But what i do is i ask my best friend (also a psion) to help me out and test me on my skills. This way i know how i'm doing. Also i usually know when i have to hold back the tears caused by tv shows when i shouldn't. and Finally theres a web site (http://www.moonchildpn.org/Empaths.html) and it has charicteristics of empaths. So look at it and you'll find yourself feeling better.
