Kenan, I just got an idea to write a book for ya called the "Empath Manual" or something with step-by-step guides. I can't start this right now so I'm throwing it out there because I have got to finish a science fiction novel I'm working on. Other than that, please do let me know if you want to offer input. I could use a coauthor but I have to finish my novel first. Too many people post on here/feel the way I did when I first knew what this stuff was, that they had no idea how to control it. I want to spare people the fear I went through, the mind numbing fear I went through. I want to spare them this stress; however, it may be their own karma to sort through. Whether you believe in karma or not though, I think there was posts awhile back about how we could design a book of some kind or a manual to be downloaded. What do you guys as a whole think though? I'd like to hear thoughts because I want to write a how-to be an empath kind of guide or how to survive empathy, worst case scenario, or even 'empathy, step by step on how to control it'. I had no teacher myself Kenan, I had to be my own teacher for a heck of a whole lot actually. Its pretty intense sometimes for you, but you have to breathe. I think though we should also set up some kind of spiritual mentor/mentee exchange website where everybody can connect with like minds. Just a few thoughts I have.

It is very possible that besides being a strong empath, you are a strong healer. If that is the case, your desire to “control” what is happening to you, MAY be the wrong approach. Perhaps—and I emphasize that this is PERHAPS—you have the solution to your “problem” at your finger tips, and don’t even realize it. Here is something for you to try. If it doesn’t work then you have lost nothing; if it does work then you have gained valuable information into the realization of a new you.

The next time you are completely enmeshed into someone else’s feeling that was projected onto you, “grab a hold of it”: if you are what I think you are, then at that time, you will know what I am talking about—you will actually know that you are the one in charge, that you mentally/psychically CAN take hold of these feelings. When you feel you have them in your grasp, then “Flip them over!!!” . . . change the feeling from a negative to a positive . . . and then watch all the beauty begin to unfold; not only inside you, but also inside the person who sent you the original feeling! Let me know how this turns out; if it partially works, email me and I can give you pointers.

Much love,
Teddy

Thanks you two, (flog and stacia), only because I feel much better these days. I think I've mastered the grounding, centering, shielding bit. As for the third person to post in here who feels they can't control it, you guys just gave me an idea. Besides the empath tool kit I found on this website, I managed to get an idea to write quite a few books on the empathic experience and my experience taken from my blogs etc, and everywhere I've ever ranted and raved about having all these spiritual gifts and not knowing what to do with them. For years, I had no idea what to do with them. Now I know they do serve a higher purpose in some ways or rather they're just there. Who knows? All I know is I'm suppose to be helping people somehow.
