Sending
Sending, or broadcasting, an emotion can be a lot harder than receiving the emotion. Whether you are online or in real life, the process for sending is about the same. The first step is the open yourself up to psi. This will require you to relax and get rid of any preexisting emotions. The second step is look at the person or screen name you are sending the emotion to. Allow yourself to become familiar with the person’s presence and feel the person with psi.
Now, stop linking with the person and pick an emotion. Let’s say you picked anger and the level is fairly annoyed. Think about an actor when starting to feel this emotion. An actor can gather enough of the emotion to act off, but not truly and deeply feel the emotion. You will need to do this. So you are not truly angry, but you are going to angry enough to be able to feel like it to an empath. You will come up with a reason to feel the emotion and yet not let the emotion overwhelm you. Once you have felt the emotion, refocus on the person again. Establish the link again and send the emotion to the person. For a visual example, imagine the emotion like air molecule that you can control over. Send the air molecule to the person (visualize them if online) If you are sending to a group of people, imagine them all sitting near you and sending the emotion to the group. Now, wait for a few seconds to a minute for the receiver to tell you what they felt. If they didn’t feel anything, try sending the emotion stronger and more intense. Encourage the receiver to name any emotion they vaguely feel and to look closer at their emotions.
The last step is to relax, let go of the anger, and ground any excess energy brought on by the emotion and link. This will clean you slate, keep an overload from happening, and prepared you to send or receive.
Receiving
I like to divide receiving into two different types. They are pure receiving and non pure receiving. Pure receiving is when the psion only uses their ability to pick up the emotion being sent or being radiated. Non pure receiving is when there is something else helping, or tipping you off as to what the emotion is. A tip would be the voice of the person, the tone of their chat, the look on their face, their screen name, the words they chose, their body language, and so on. There is nothing wrong with using one or the other type of receiving. For newbies who want to learn how to receive emotions, it is best to use the pure receiving first. Learning to read body language and other signs is easier and will become more apparently with good basic empathy.
In Person
Some people will find receiving emotions from people in real life that are around you, a bit easier. This is because you can see the person, see their body language, hear their voice, their clothing, what is going around them, and study their actions. This is the time to use non pure receiving. It is harder to hide yourself looking at the person, trying to pick up their feelings, but luckily there are lots of excuses you can make up. Also, remember these people are not purposely broadcasting their emotions, so you will have look deeper and harder than online. You may risk the problem of being overloaded by the all other emotions.
Pick a person you want to know their emotions. It is better to pick someone you don’t know or know very well. It is better because that way you can try to predict what and why they are feeling that way. Look at them and notice what you first pick up from them. If you do not get anything or not very clearly, close your eyes and envision the person. Gather psi around you and send it to the person to create a link. Make the link one way so you can only pick up their emotions. Make sure you are not picking up anyone else’s emotions and that you have grounded your own emotions away.
