I realize that there is very little actual information about how to read people on chat or similar.
So I have written an article about it, with the limited experience I have. Feel free to comment and make suggestions!!
I have focused on the online readings, but it applies to all types of reading I guess...

Re: About reading online
Wed, May 6, 2009 - 10:21 AMThis is the post I left on the site you left: I guess I have to wonder, what is the point of this post, but I guess if someone had no real experience or knowledge of a Empath, it might be helpful. I find most of us have to experience it in our own way and time.
I guess it leaves me asking, were you trying to tell us something or provoke comments.
I felt confusion and frustration over whelming me with this post, so assume it must coming from someone attached to it. It is so strong it hurts,and I need to cut the connection that has formed from it.
Sorry, do not mean to offend or be over critical, but that is what is hitting me and zapping my peace and energy.

Wed, May 6, 2009 - 10:43 AMHI David...
I am one big ? about your comment. Did you read it, or did you stop at the blog-intro? I feel a lot of judgement in your response here.
The article is meant as a help for those who wants to learn/be better/compare discoveries on the matter of readings/online readings.
If you can't find anything helpful in that, then consider yourself blessed with a knowledge I most certainly didn't have a year ago. Maybe I am the only unfortunate one, but I doubt that.
Experience comes in many forms and aspects. Can you blame me for wanting to share what I know? I personally would love for others to share what they know, since there is so little wisdom on empathy.
I was trying to help. But you are accusing me of wanting to provoke comments, and I have absolutely no idea about how you could come to that conclusion. Are you sure, you've read the article?
I am not confused, I am not frustrated, I am not overwhelmed. You may have drawn that conclusion based on the intro text for my blog, but most certainly not from the article itself.
If you really feel the need to comment on my article, could you then please read it first? You might be surprised at its content. -

Re: About reading online
Wed, May 6, 2009 - 10:56 AMThere is absolutely nothing negative in my article.
Any assumption you have made is based on my blog description, which has its own reasons but certainly not what you are trying to imply. You have made a false assumption based on the words I've used. That is actually one of the aspects I am trying to cover in the article (help appreciated), because it can be difficult to differentiate between the impressions we get.
Even if we do have more than "no real expericece or knowledge" about the empathy and readings in general.
If you detect a bit of rejection in my two posts to you, you are right. I have put a lot of energy and thought into this text, and so to see it dismissed with such allegations is not the most empathetic experience I've had.

I did not mean for it to be negative, as your post was informative. Though I was confused by it and my comments were what I was feeling when I read it. I was trying to figure out for myself, where it was coming from, or should I say, who was having those feelings, that I was picking up on. I guess I should of been much clearer. I guess I was more influenced by it all, then I realized. I was limited in what I could say, the feelings were over powering. It was almost like someone or thing had something to express and it was trying to use me to get it out. I didn't just cut and run because of it and I wanted to say something, to find out if anyone was picking up on it too.
I have the same problem with people in real time, in close proximity to my person, I have to create distance to break the cord and get back to who I am. Sometimes it can be a real drag feeling others emotions and intentions as my own,
I felt this great confusion and energy drain, like a energy vampire was sucking on me. It took all the strength to finish the post,. After finishing and closing off of Tribes, I had to renew my protective shield and cut energy cords to begin to feel ok and me again. Even after all of these hours, I still feel somewhat odd yet. I have not been online or been to Tribes since that time until now. I woke up in front of the TV at 1 a.m. and was going to go to bed. But felt the need for some reason to go online, and then felt the need to check into Tribes, that something needed attending to. though I still felt a bit apprehensive doing it. I did not encounter what I did until I went to the site, from the URL link provided.
And yes, I did go and read the informative article.
I am still not sure where those feelings and impressions came from. But they were not from within, they were someone else's. At the time I was not sure if they were yours or someone else reading them. But presently chatting with you now, I don't feel any such coming from you.

Re: About reading online
Wed, May 6, 2009 - 7:31 PMThank you Melene for your information/link. I'm not completely sure what it is to do a reading on someone. If I watch tone, body movement, words and overall energy of a conversation I get a lot of information but not about an event in their life. If I actually try to read someone my senses seem to overwhelm and shut down. I pick up feelings better if I am on the periphery of a conversation and not really trying to do anything more then understand where they are coming from. Great that you can actually do readings.
As for online chatting: not sure if it's what you mean by getting a reading on someone but it is very easy for me to understand what a person is and is not saying from the words they chose to type (especially if I know their expression patterns - which cause me to trust myself). I don't know if it is easier online but it sure it a lot cleaner - less emotional static that I feel, then react to, then judge. -

Re: About reading online
Wed, May 6, 2009 - 10:43 PMHi Michelle
I am so glad, you asked into it, because I did not specify that in the article - and that is a mistake.
I do online readings in a "controlled environment", because I am still learning. So I ask the person I want to read on to think of an experience he/she has had. When this person is ready, I just start typing whatever impressions I get. The person I'm reading is not to answer back unless I specifically ask for it.
After I've typed the impressions down, I get feedback from the whole reading. What was correct, what didn't make sense... -

Re: About reading online
Thu, May 7, 2009 - 10:57 AMHey, what an excellent way to practice clear sensing! I've gotta try that. I guess I do it a bit but not 'on purpose' and this may be a softer way (not so close to a persons energy) of practicing it.
Going to try this right away! Thanks :)

Re: About reading online
Sat, May 16, 2009 - 11:23 AMThat is interesting about your hands shaking...I know if I am getting things from other people (I wouldn't say reading, because I haven't figured out how to control it very much) my arm or leg will sometimes twitch, if it's a strong emotion. Good to know it's not just me.
