How does one deal with being an Empath all their life? That is a million dollar question!
Ever since I was a very young girl I have been able to pick up on others feelings and if they were having a good day or not. I never knew there was a word for it when I was young, but several years back I learned exactly what it was. I just thought that everyone was that way….I had no idea that only certain people had that ability. So I never knew how to protect myself and repel those energies that were not mine.
Just in the last few years I have realized that I was very empathic and found a friend, Randy, who helped me to understand what had been occurring. Alas, he could not teach me the fine art of learning how to cope with the problems I have when I go out into the world, say to a restaurant, and then feel everyone’s negative energy, or how to protect myself from it. No one actually realizes what a horror it is to go out into the public and shut down completely because of all these feelings you are taking inside by picking up what people are thinking and being able to understand what they are thinking. Until you find out what the word is and understand that you’re a Psychic/Medium who is hearing people talking to you that are passed on, sometimes you think you’re totally off your rocker. But you’re not. You are seeing and hearing spirits of people who have crossed over.
Finally, last year I started my journey towards help in finding out what was going on. I found how to go out into public and not feel everyone’s departed loved one talking to me, or all their negative energy attach to me! What a relief it was when I found out what ‘Spiritual Protection’ was, how to put that divine white light and shield around myself. Let me tell you the difference in how you feel when you are going out into public and not picking up everything. Asking to only let in what is of the ‘Best and Highest’ for yourself is critical even in every day conversation with people. I have also had some funny adventures with some of my ‘Spiritual Friends!’ But that is a whole other can of worms to get into.
Last November, I was blessed to find Belle Salisbury and even more understanding and help came into play. The hows, whys and what’s finally all made sense. Understanding and a ‘Spiritual Growth’ began. One of the biggest things she told us is to remember is if you’re going through an ‘Empathic Moment’ to ask yourself: ‘Does this belong to me? Are these my feelings?’ If not, send it away with love and bring love into that spot instead.
Even if you think you have this mastered… you might not! The reason I am saying this is because I had a disruption of major proportion this last week myself. We had visitors to my home for several days and the feelings I was taking on were heavy on me and took a toll on me. Now, I am dealing with those empathic feelings I took on and it has been devastating, to say the least, to myself and my mood. At one point in the visit from these people, I thought I was going to faint from the negative feelings flowing through the home.
The point I wish to make is you can never ever not protect yourself when you’re empathic. You need to protect your energies with all that you can. There are many different ways to do it, but the best is to ask your Higher Powers to take away all the negative energies as fast as you start to sense them. I just wish I had learned these things when I was younger, but now-a-days there can be help for younger people… there is so much information out there and so many good teachers to help with this.
Blessings, Candice
