I have been very lucky, I had a wise counsellor who helped me see more clearly the path of empaths and clairsentient beings. She taught me, that although we are not perfect, we have through many lifetimes earned and learned many gifts.

Often, we are Heart Centred, and in the higher realms if you are in the heart you are in the realms of Light and truth. If your soul has experienced this you instinctively know that Love is all and is the truth. In the realm of love there is no need for protection, however we are not in that realm and this earth plane is pretty messed up, So here, we need to learn protection, and about our healing energies, because there are many that use theirs up in strong emotions like anger etc and they will try to absorb our nice energy.

We see the truth, we sense it and know it. But others do not take kindly to having their faults pointed out as even we do not either.

This makes it all very painful for us and we may have in past lives gone underground so to speak as healers lest we be attacked. So we sometimes try and take on other peoples pain and hust, or do it unwittingly. Sometimes others like to unground us and step into our Aura and take energy. They are not aware and often we are not aware - until a later date.

I used to think sometimes days later "wgh did I let them talk to me like that", my teacher told me it was because i was there! I had put my consciousness somewhere else - because it is so upsetting or painful to us to see ugliness, or unkindness or the lies. This, is when she said other people take your energy, and maybe at other times you give it away.

Learning about grounding, protection, and getting my energy in the spine (the chakras) right has been one of the most important things I have learned. Sadly, its come quite late for me. And I used to think being airy fairy and space cadet was kinda cool, but it isnt. I used to absorb everyones neg feelings and you see one of our gifts is that wecan transmute energy, but sometimes it was overwhelming and took months or even, like recently years.

I revert back to my old habits and patterns, but I promise you if you learn about your AUra - put Electric Blue around it to filter neg energy. Your chakras - the bottom three red, orange and yellow, enrgise them see thier colours brifght and strong, and spin them to the right and to the good, make them 5cm across and no bigger. Throw a ribbon of red from the red one at the base of your spine and breath up the energy of the earth, let her give you strength and to get you connected to earth and grounded.

See the energy of heaven flowing down into your crown chakra all golden, energising all chakras and filling you up with love light and strength. You wont know yourself! Or rather you will know yourself in your true light!

Energy of earth flowsup breath it up the spine, energy of heaven flows down breath it down. Get yourself connected and m,ake bright your cloak of light.

Learn to be truth, yourself, to have the courage to say, "I am sorry I dont think that is very honest", or say "thats unkind". YOU are not responsible for other people or their actions, stop thinking you are. YOU cannot take on the worlds negativity and transmute it all. But you can get your own energy right, make yourself vibrate aand be full of light truth and love, and where ever you go or who ever you are with your own vibrationsa will help them to come into harmony, you can choose to give healing energy but not empty yourself and see they just misuse it or abuse that gift. Many times others will just let their egos use it up, like with pride or anger. Then they come back for more.
So this doesnt really help.

Pointing out problems makes people defensive or dig their heels in. Thats what I do if someone points out neg in myself. It is important to remember, that although you may feel something is not true, you may not know what is 'the truth', you just feel its a lie, but you dont have to!
You dont have to justify anything! You -standing in your own light - can say - I just instinctively feel it, Its just a gut feeling, and \i trust that.

Doesnt mean to say its easy, or it will make things great, but it will be honest, and it will be who you are - A HIGHLY SENSITIVE BEING, TRYING TO LIVE IN THE LIGHT.
