      <title>How to reverse other peoples attacks</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/c4f35411-cafc-47a0-8fe7-f7f3f855a785</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I will apologise in advance if this is the wrong tribe to be posting this in. I will post elsewhere if it would be more appropriate; however, I would assume that empaths are more likely to experience some of these things and maybe could guide me in the right direction. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;OK, so have always attracted "psychic vampires" and the like; energy and soul drainers and have always struggled with how to manage people from getting the better of me, emotionally. What has been happening to me lately, though, is that they are not attacking me emotionally, psychically or such, but have been putting hate, spells and voodoo curses on me in a way that is affecting my "outer" life; my finances, job, transportation, relationships with authority figures ect. I guess because I didnt cave in they went after me in ways that HAVE to affect me. I know who they are, by the way, and their reasons for going after me. They claim to be followers of "good or "white" magic or Wicca, although at different times they have accidentally let things slip about medical and finacial hexes and voodoo curses. They absolutely do not follow "good" or "white" anything, they are all about destroying people. As one put it to me: it's only about winning for them. One got a good chunk of my hair straight from my scalp, claiming I had gum in it, though I do not chew gum. Another was in my bathroom and I am suspicious she got hair from my hairbrush. Both have admitted to using hair to make voodoo dolls of other people.... Even though I know they are behind so many things affecting what I have mentioned above, Of course there is no evidence linkin them to these things for me to go to authorities with, not that it would stop them anyway...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So, how does one reverse or stop things such as these? It is my understanding that you are NOT supposed to "throw" spells ect. back at people that put them on you because 1. It can hurt them worse than they hurt you, which is supposed to be wrong, and 2. If they are particularly adept at these things ( I believe they are, and are in contact with people even more experienced than they) then they can detect me trying to throw it back at them, provoking them to increase their efforts. This seems really unfair to me. There is nothing I can do about this? I understand its wrong to wish on others what they wish on you, but, if I wasnt the one who started this, and am only doing this to make them stop, it just seems like self defense, if that makes sense. I have tried prayer and burning sage; both work for a while but it seems to make it worse when it starts back up. What am I doing wrong?

      <title>Anyone had their aura read?</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/23909935-b0cd-4718-bf11-f8bcf4140377</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I have never had it done. Lately though I cannot seem to stop thinking about the meaning of colors, what my aura might be, what it would mean and if it would even be useful. An aquaintance supposedly has this ability to see others auras; I asked her what mine was and she said a bright lilac shade. Don't know if I should believe her, though. How would you know, when having it read, if the person doing it is being truthful? Since you can't see what their seeing, and don't really know if their even seeing anything at all. How would you know? Has anyone on here had theirs done? Do you feel it was useful in some way, or a waste of time? Or does anyone have this ability themselves? Is it something you just have, or can you develop it?

      <title>A Friends Passing</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/3b2a7d52-e84a-4fe0-89fa-278bf297c63d</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I "knew" my friend had passed in the hospital that night.
&lt;br/&gt;There was no sleep and screaming through my head was his name followed by
&lt;br/&gt;"get back in your body".
&lt;br/&gt;This is not the first time I have had such an experience at a passing.
&lt;br/&gt;But, each is qualitatively different and never visual as two friends experienced.  One with conversation.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I am sad and pissed off by the accidental nature. 
&lt;br/&gt; I felt him, relaxed, at ease, and content with it all. 
&lt;br/&gt;

      <title>WHERE is all this anger coming from?</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/cdc3bf89-66ec-4559-9cc0-f34481947001</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;    Hi, all!  I havn't been back here to this site in a loooooong time, and it just occured to me tonight that this raging anger I have been feeling ( seemingly for no reason) for the last year and a half or so might justbe because I am an empath.  To be totally honest, things have been so very busy with me that I have lost sight of the being an empath area of my being. I have been having a lot of health problems... cataract surgery, tubes put in my ears twice, severe asthama problems, formation of 3 herniated disks, and to top it all off, good ole arthritis has setteled in severely in my hips and knees, making me almost house-bound. Anyway, I am having really bad problems just DEALING with most anyone these days, and tend to just stay safely at home. My man says it's just my "imagination" but, dang it, I DO feel the happiness of others, the hostility ( even if it is very well shielded), the sadness, the depression, the tiredness, etc. Unfortunately, I THINKI, but am not certain that I am absorbing the emotions of others... and it's near-bout killin me (as my mother would have said) I'm crying when there is absolutely no reason for me to cry... and it's gotten to where it is making my man actually angry that I am crying for no reason. Oh... the house I currenly live in... well the land-lord's mother died here. Could THAt be causing some of this? Thanks for reading and your help and answers would be appreciated!!!!&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>How to tell if you are empathic</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/7e0a7d7d-d82b-4fa6-8bef-4fb532abcc77</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;How to tell if you are empathic  http://www.helium.com/items/544074-how-to-tell-if-you-are-empathic
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;One of the better articles I've found on this subject. :o)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;...................................................................................................................
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;About me: Keith Alan Hamilton
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I was born with an empathic sensitivity; I call it fondly My Abnormalities Normality because its effect upon me seems normal to me. Here is an excerpt from my web site talking about it: http://www.keithalanhamilton.com/
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;“As a child, I naturally had a felt sense of being intuitively and emotively psychic or having an empathic sensitivity. This sensitivity heightened in me a very deep felt sense both inwardly and outwardly as to my spiritual, mental, emotional and physical attachment to planet earth and the rest of Nature. Since childhood I've experienced psychically an intuitively emotive felt sense as to premonitions about a great struggle for survival as related to potential changes within Nature as a whole system and its planetary sub-system called earth. These kind of lived experiences have also brought forth inside me intuitively, a spiritually emotive felt sense of being an interrelated, interconnected and interdependent individual portion of all Nature without experiencing any kind of self doubt about it at all. However, my intelligent progression within this struggle for self discovery through the effort of thinking and feeling psychically has not been an easy one for me over the years. Even though the effect of My Abnormalities Normality upon me may bring forth intelligently progressive and transitionally perceptive insights, it has other effects upon me. It also greatly impedes what I love to do most, expressing My Words of Thought in the form of writing. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Even if not fully understanding why at the time, I quickly learned as a youth that my life experience within Nature was not the norm when compared to others. At least that is how it seemed to me back then regarding My Abnormalities Normality. Not unlike others with similar youth experiences as to mine I have talked to since my youth. I learned from the expression of my experiences to others by their reaction to my seemingly abnormal life, it might be best to keep my experiences to my self by not mentioning them. Additionally, overtime my experiences became overshadowed by the priority of having to live a life by working and raising a family. Although within the silence of my many periods of being alone in Nature, I continued with my seemingly odd psychic experiences about Nature to be inspired mystically, both intuitively and emotively by the sheer wonder of it all. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It took me over forty years of my life to finally gain enough confidence to reveal my innermost feelings and expressions without my inhibitions preventing me from doing so. Mainly because my experiences in life seem to be on the fringe as to reality within Nature that others may not be normally accustom too. And because of this, it's extremely hard for me to interpret coherently through words to others what I have experienced by means of My Abnormalities Normality.”&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Can someone please help me???? Something weird is happening to me</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/b91b1e7e-b823-41d5-955a-a0101bde4211</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I am one month pregnant, totally unplanned WHOOOPS.  But anyway, the weird thing is that I think the tiny embryo has been speaking to me!!  I am very sensitive and I believe I am able to communicate telepathically with certain people.  I am also able to read signs.  I have some psychic ablities.  I thought he....it is a boy I am positive.  It is a male voice and it doesn't even sound like a child.  Its sounds grown or strange like a spirit voice that is not really anything yet.  It even told me to name it Steven.  I am frightened by this and disturbed.  I normally like communicating telepathically with people but I dont know if I like this child......this soul or whatever it is.  I sort of believe in reincarnation... now I do even more.  Because I think that I have had past lives and have learned things from them and brought these thoughts with me to this life.  Anyway, I dont know if this spirit is good or not??? Perhaps I am just afraid and dont want to be pregnant.  But its strange, I know its normal to feel tired and sick and crappy when you are first pregnant... but I just dont feel like myself.  I feel dulled my senses which I cherish so much, my light is changed duller, bluer, colder.  I am cold all the time and dont even want to eat that much.  I dont want to do anything.  but its more than that, I guess it just is what it is, but I never thought it would be this way...  I have other DNA inside me growing and creating something new and who knows what else and I dont like it.   Its changing me overpowering me, using me almost it feels like.  I dont like the father, he is gone and hes a jerk we just had a fling.  I  guess maybe its his genes that are bothering me, I dont like them.  Im afraid my child will be mean too much like the father.  But I just went off on a tangent...... What I really wanted feedback on was the ....... o I dont even know anymore!! Please write to me with any advice or comments.&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Peak Experience</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/0f4202db-b8c7-49e4-bec6-4614fed3cb71</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Have any of you ever had a peak experience. I have had two. Both occured when I was in the presents of one of my children, around age 3 years. The first happened, as I was on a walk with my son, right after my family had been transfered to Boston. The second  happened, when I was with my daughter, giving her a bath. Both times I was doing things I did every day. All of a sudden, I knew, and felt that everything was connected, Me, my child, the nature around me, the room I was in, were all one. Then, the miniute I realized this was happening, I was back. WOW, but wierd. Then I knew, not just thought, "we are one". What a wonderful knowing/feeling (no, I was not on drugs and it was not a psychotic break). Then, I tryed to talk to a few people about what I had experienced, most just took a step back. Then I felt alone, once more. My traditional christian beliefs did not accomidate such experiences,  at that time. I woundered, why me? What do you do with this kind of expirence. I wished we all knew.  Anyone...: ).    &lt;/div&gt;

      <title>How to Control the Empath Ability</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/65a4bed3-b94b-40eb-a00f-414252b4fe7c</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I posted this on my blog ( www.skeptic.dk ) not so long ago, but I would like to share it with you here as well. 
&lt;br/&gt;Take what you can use, leave the rest. ;-)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;------------------------------------
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You already are in control. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;“Oh, but I feel so overwhelmed, I can’t stand it, I can’t find myself… It is a curse, I do not control it!”
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Sure you do. You just haven’t thought of it that way, because the first suggestion about ’shielding’ leads you to believe, that the impressions come all by themselves. They don’t. You do not feel everything everywhere all of the time. It may seem that way, because you cannot feel you, but the impressions you get comes from your own subconscious thoughts about what is even just remotely relevant for you to tune in on. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Relevance 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;That is a keyword for my theory about how you best control your empath ability. I am sitting here in front of my mac trying to formulate my thoughts about this issue. The thing that is most relevant for me right now is my sense of me. So I am relevant to me right now. I have to have a sense of me in order to put my thoughts into words in such a way that I get my message through the right way. But other people are relevant for me as well, as I am writing for those who do not feel that they are in control. So I have these impressions stored in my memory of people I have encountered on the web, who felt this way. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So my focus is divided properly in accordance with what I find most relevant for typing this post. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;When my own ability exploded one day in january ‘08, I could not walk down to the local supermarket without getting knocked out emotionally. It is not because this was new, and that I did not have the right tools for dealing with it. No, when I think back on the experience, it was because I found all emotions around me relevant.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I knew, I had this ability before I switched from latent to “full blown” empath. A long story, that involves other empaths, but quite irrelevant for this topic. Anyway, I knew, but it was still relevant for me at that time to be convinced. And so it was very relevant for me to experience that I actually could tune in on complete strangers, even though at the time I did not consciously make that decision.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I do not find other peoples emotional state that relevant in order to function on a daily basis. Sometimes something comes up, which makes me think: “this is relevant” and I automatically tune in on it. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Control
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If you want to feel that you are in control of the empath ability, you should start by explaining to yourself what you really find relevant to you. You are already making a subconscious decision about it, so why not bring it out of the darkness and redefine your values? 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It is also worth considering, how you perceive yourself amongst others. If you think that you as a person is not relevant, or that people in pain are very relevant, then those are the things you tune in on. Be honest with yourself while making these considerations. If you deep down feel, that another persons anger is relevant, and you do not see ‘you’ as relevant, then that is how you have managed it. But then perhaps it is time to evaluate that as well?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;There is nothing spiritual about this, you cannot shield yourself from you. Shielding works in the aspect of you finding your shield relevant. It gives you something to visualize, and that does make you not focus on other peoples emotions. But it doesn’t really fix anything, and you do spend a lot of energy on something which is not relevant at all.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So… Is this relevant for you?&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>psychic attacks</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/704a005a-cde1-4196-aae9-92e1970d65c2</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I have posted here off and on throughout the last few years and this is the only place that I feel really understands some of the stuff I have been going through but I am having a hard time using the tools that I have learned about! For one thing, last night I had a spirit come into my room uninvited telling me that I had to many seasons of poverty to ever be beautiful again. She was an old roommate who is still very beautiful (on the outside) and rich. I just lost my housing again, for being assertive, again, and went to the food bank on Friday. So, it took me a little while through the taunts to realize that it wasn't me; not my mind. I wasn't saying these things but that she was taunting me. I have had a strong sense of her off and on for the last very long while and I have come to realize that I am not dealing with humans but with souls and spirits. The bottom line is I asked jesus to protect me from her. I know about shields and all of that but when I am vulnerable and laying in bed? stressed because I am in such a vulnerable position? I have actually decided that maybe I am dealing with a demon. This is the only place I could talk about this! I would say it was me, my mind except I was sobbing because I have been struggling for a few years now with employment and money and its been really hard. I am in school again but it is still really hard. I was sobbing. what woman wants to be told that she will never be beautiful again, particularly because of poverty. That is pretty sad. So I wept. Today, when I was walking my dog I realized that it wasn't me but the same energy that made me feel suicidal in my biology lab (post a couple of weeks ago) and that I experienced a psychic attack. I don't know if other people have gone through this........my sense is this person may be a twin soul........but I want out!!!!!!  Any ideas, thoughts, experiences? &lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;so i was listeing to coast to coast the other night at work. And i can't remember the guest's name (was it Judith Orliff...i dont remember) was talking about psychic vampires and empaths. How can I tell if I am a psychic vampire? I know when I'm in the presence of a psychic vampire (oy! they are exhausting!) but what if I am the psychic vampire and the ones that tire me are just stronger ones?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;hrrmmmmmm......&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>New Tribe. The Language of the Empath</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/e55e9fec-2dc6-4e25-a9ca-5427f4225e12</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I made a new tribe called Dreamtongue: The Language of the Empath.
&lt;br/&gt;I made this tribe to spread the knowledge of the language of Dreamtongue.
&lt;br/&gt;Leaning this Language will increase your understanding of the language of the Empath.
&lt;br/&gt;Which will help you out in a lot of ways. :)  &lt;/div&gt;

      <title>How Many of you are projectors?</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/e5161e03-c468-4665-a01d-336318f9c92d</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;A projector is someone who does not have the ability to generate energy for themselves but has the ability on an innate level  to recognize energy in others and be able to feed off of it and guide it.  Approximately 20% of the world's population is that of Projectors.  A projector has a need to be recognized and is often not recognized.  In order for a Projector to live in congruence to it's true self it needs to recognize and receive an invitation from others.   
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The basis for this stuff is called Human Design.  You can enter in your birth information here:  http://jovianarchive.com/Pages/Home.aspx
&lt;br/&gt;In terms of a discipline it is fairly new (20 years old)  There is a handful of websites with information on the discipline of Human Design. I've studied alot of esoteric stuff over the years and I can say this stuff is dead on for me; everything else seems excessively subjective in comparison.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I'm not selling anything or trying to be a disciple for Tom Cruise and Heavens Gate type stuff, you don't have to buy a damn thing, all the information is out there.  All I can say is that it exists.  Take it or leave it.  It is incredibly simple, basic, not rocket science stuff.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Keep this tribe and all other tribes active, please!!! ;P  It's great that a social networking site still exists that isn't bottled up in Narcissumertrivialnonpracticalitism.
&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Opposites, what if you  only had half of the whole</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/4b29c7a3-18d4-4a22-a2bf-9e641307f5e2</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Opposites, what if you only had half of the whole. It stuck me this morning as I as still processing things that happened on Friday  and Saturday. It goes back to the fact, others are in my head, and why can't I over rule them. I guess hard to do, when their feelings are yours, but ?.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Anyway, remember the episodes and movies  of Superman or etc. where the person is split into two personalities, one person is super good, and etc, all of the God like traits, and the other evil / dark and all of the bad ones. We are a combination of both, we need both in their place to survive here on earth to learn and grow. It hit me, I am almost like that, and it seems that some of the other Sensitive Empaths are as well to some degree also. I referenced it in part, in feeling somewhat like a Savant or etc, with some ability like a Savant, but not totally, but I guess they could come in different form and levels, as well as Autistics. Dark/evil is so destructive and so good finds it hard to deal with things at all. Need both carnal and spirit, and  both yin  and yang to balance and survive.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I have always felt not really capable of dealing with people  and some situations in this life, the way things are, being so imperfect. Always felt so clueless to darker motives and playing games and etc. Always wondered what race on another planet dropped me here; a somewhat common complaint of Indigos and Sensitive  Empaths. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I could go on, but hopefully you understand what  am getting at. Anyway, I am wondering if the part that give us the ability to command our lives more and be in charge and not let things affect us so much, the darker or more animalistic/carnal side lies within the right side of the  Brain, has anyone else thought of that or read anything on it. I know that True Savants and some Asperger's are like this, they are not able to fully function socially and aware of the negative character of some others and  etc.

      <title>Empaths &amp;amp; Asperger's</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/bfec36ac-9ac4-4386-aad9-fb8e973c90df</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;This was posted in the other Empaths Alike group: http://groups.myspace.com/empathsalike
&lt;br/&gt;by Prince of Plasma
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;However the theory behind being an empath I see is actually quite an illusion. There is actually a medical term for our condition. It is a form of Autism known as Asperger Syndrome.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Empathy is really like the mythological counterpart to Asperger Syndrome (AS). Whereas AS is a medical term, Empathy is a mythological term. People with Asperger Syndrome (Aspies) have very deep-thinking brains and are very sensitive to their environment. Basically, regular brains can think lightly about lots of different topics at once, but Autists can only think deeply of one thing at a time. Whereas a regular brain skims lightly across a multitude of subjects, Autists think so deeply, we are often said to be living in our own world or on cloud nine. As a result, we learn a lot more about things than regular brains, and often have an above-average intelligence. But because we focus so deeply on our topics of interest (called Obsessions) then other facets of life which involve more dynamic thinking are difficult to us, such as functioning in groups, holding a regualr job and social life comfortably, or even washing every day. We are so focused on our obsessions that these "every day" activities are put aside in second place.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Now, because our brains are so deep, we notice so many things that a normal brain does not. We hone in on facial expressions, body language, words, objects, everything. We get a lot more information from any situation than an ordinary person needs. As a result, if there are too many people present, or situations start to proceed when we are not expecting it, we experience a sensory overload, which often turns to anxiety, confusion, fear and anger, or alternatively, extreme excitement. We are very easily affected by our surroundings, because we see so much in the simplest of things, whereas other would only see a simple and uninteresting thing.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;(Both types of brains are useful for different tasks, together we can work as a team, but in order to do that, both types need to be officially recognised for their strengths and weaknesses.)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It is why we empaths can be so emotional, cry at the sunshine or rain, or at movies, because the simplest little things mean so much to us.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The trouble is, that this level of sensitivity isn’t always good for us socially, because where other people don’t see it, and if we are not understood for having the gifts we have, it can cause pretty bad social situations for us, we can become very twisted, hurt and mistrustful of people, and we can even be outcast from society completely if we put too many feet wrong. It’s not ours or other peoples fault, we both just have very differently-thinking kinds of brains. Both are necessary to a complete society and are perfectly natural states of mind. People who promote that these differences are a good thing, promote what is known as Neuro-diversity, a bit like cultural-diversity.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;(This is all documented medically as a form of Autism. In official descriptions, it can sound a bit boring and vague, but once you start talking to others with the condition, reading about the subject and peoples experiences, you will soon realise like I have that Empathy and Asperger’s is one and the same.)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Now a big trouble we often encounter socially is when we express out theories of how we think other people think and feel, to normal people who have quick thinking dynamic brains as opposed to our slower deep-thinking brains. While we are often correct, other peoples brains simply do not go deep enough to be able to compute this information. They will often have a bad reaction if we are too forthright with them. In good cases we will be locally respected as a wise, considerate person who is able to solve problems.&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Last nights Dream</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/5067b0f2-7395-421c-9059-6dabd130082b</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hello all,
&lt;br/&gt;Sorry being away for so long, but I had a really vivid dream this morning which was too weird, normally I do not have dreams that vivid or weird that early in the morning, they usually happen in the middle of the nights.  I have had lucid dreams where I am spending time with my father, who passed away a few years ago, and he has sent me messages (not lately however) and those occur in the early morning as well.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The dream was that along the same lines of a global mental blackout.(okay, similar to a tv show i know) I remember being in downtown los angeles walking and seeing a great flash of light, suddenly my body feels really weak and I start to fall to the ground and black out.  The following scene is of me looking up to the sky and being able to see many more constellations than before, the news reports in the background were reporting that we now, globally had visual access to all these constellations that were not available to the naked eye.  The final scene was me surmising that the only way we all could have been affected was through the water that we drink, assuming we had all been affected.  Then I woke up suddenly.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Is anyone else having these strange kind of dreams?  It could just be a dream given the premise of the story but this felt too real.
&lt;br/&gt;Thanks for hearing me out as this has been on my mind all day.&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Improving clairaudiance</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/a501ccbc-1f49-4a0b-93f8-915857d42354</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I get very good hit at catching things visually, crystal clear and often from great distance (this can get embarrassing).
&lt;br/&gt;I mean that I have some psychic abilities that can be fully operational. 
&lt;br/&gt;However, I am not so great at hearing the clairaudiant messages. For example, a man flew next to me in my dream last night, I know that he is a messenger,  and delivered a whole message that was just below the auditory threshold. I did not catch anything consciously.
&lt;br/&gt;This is happening more and more often these days - and when I am fully awake too - and it is frustrating. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Could anyone please tell me how I can develop that ability better in a quick and safe way?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Thanks&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>To self alone?</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/5242d8f1-ac1a-4bc7-990d-8d09a56aaa02</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Can one be an empath to oneself (and few, if any, others) -intuitive to one's self mainly?  (perhaps to one's own  future?)  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;My experience seems rather limited to those 'family' I choose to draw/allow in ... (emphasis on 'chosen' as opposed  to blood line)   -and them only- and my experience seems to provide instant (if yet un recognized)  outright forcefull impressions of my own future (yet unknown at the time of the 'sense' -to be recognized later)&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Room in Bergen County (Share Filmmakers House)</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/bd9329d7-da33-4709-81da-5a72e7a8544e</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;This house is on a hillside, it has a good size living room, dining area, kitchen, 2 fridges, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, driveway for 2 cars, a garage/basement room and possibly some storage place in the attic. The neighborhood is safe and clean. Ideal for writing, editing, sometimes we even shoot films here. Available now.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So though you don't need a car, if you have one, you can have a sane city commute and availability of your car right outside the door. You can get into the city or out to the country from this quiet, residential area with equal speed. The bus stops just a few yards away from the house, and it's a straight shot into Port Authority. If you want to unwind, study, or just generally take a respite from the chaos of the City knowing your stuff will be there when you get back, you can - but you're close enough to change your mind mid-evening and get back into the game. If you want to get away from it all and head out of the area entirely, the turnpike is down the street.
&lt;br/&gt;

      <title>Healing?</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/8d82f4ae-550e-4feb-8d53-d897ea0a6aea</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;How do you go about physical healing when things are truly falling apart? And what would you say energetically about the first chakra being the area that the disease is occurring?

      <title>♥ Hathor Channelling on 2012 Shift ♥</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/2fb15176-cf73-489f-bd9b-a9e9504881f5</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Dearest Brothers and Sisters of Earth,
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We are the Hathors, and we are here to support you, and show you our love, during your time of shifting consciousness. We wish for you dear family, not to hear us with your minds, but with your hearts, and with your Spirits that are a part of the Hologram of Consciousness that connects us ALL. We have come to support you out of the dualistic thought patterns, into awareness of the ONE, to help wake you up to the consciousness of the Energy of all of Creation. Most of you still adhere to the dualistic nature of the third dimension, and slowly as you discover who you are, you will realize that there is no light, and there is no dark. Those energies seperated themselves to create a catalyst for the advancement of the knowledge that the rest of Creation desires. These dualistic energies have been slowly coming back together for the last century, to show you the extremes in your lives and lead you to your natural balance. As you move into the next dimension, your acceptance of everything in Creation will be focused and balanced in your minds eye, and you will no longer need to judge any actions because you will recognize that those actions are also a part of you bubbling up to the surface for all of humanity to process and release. As you continue to move closer and closer to the Source, vibrations are soaring to higher and higher levels. You will find that you are able to manifest much more easily. Do not be deceived by your struggles, they are the manifestation of your desire to heal yourself, your earth, and of all that is. As you and all of human kind sees themselves through these struggles, the release of the energies that no longer serve you are  serving as a powerful propeller into a New Consciousness where the energies of what you call the Masculine and Feminine are balanced and integrated with each other. You will all be Conscious that you are ONE with each other, and with the entire UNIVERSE. Knowing this in your mind is the first step, the next is knowing with your Heart, and your Spirit.  We wish to thank you for your courage, your strength, and your persistence in walking the paths that has brought you to your own healing. The work that you are doing on yourselves and  in Sacred Temples  is being felt by the Soul of Creation. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In Love We Support You
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;

      <title>How many Empaths are sensitive in other areas as well or all areas?</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/2facda6e-4a0a-4c5b-b31c-9df2a1955465</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I am highly aware of many things, besides just others feelings and emotions, like others feeling and hormones,  and etc, I react like they are mine, being a  hypersensitive morphic empath. I guess the thing I was thinking about mostly, was smell. I can smell sour milk or etc days before others can if not week or ahead.  Same goes for other smells too, so farts and BO and etc, so wow and yuck and ouch says my nose and head.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Lately as I have been doing more toxin cleansing, I notice chlorine in the city water systems much more, much stronger. I have noticed of late, when driving around town, a few are watering lawns during the day. And when I drive by, I can smell the over powering smell of Chlorine, sometimes I have to immediately change the air setting to cabin recycle only and  close the windows, it is so bad.

      <title>ever manifested another injury?</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/ee45a62a-17ad-4777-8ff7-ee74b4893ccd</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;ive experienced the injuries of others, but once a friend of mine experienced a cut on her leg while driving, i was there at the time, she suddenly cried out and grasped her leg and had to pull over, she was wearing jeans at the time and had to pull them down in the drivers seat, ( we were dating at the time so it wasnt a big deal) and her leg had suddenly started bleeding, we had no idea how she could have cut herself at the time, it was a brand new Z28 and had no sharp edges under the sterring wheel, i looked. I had suggested at the time that maybe shehad simply injured her leg earlier before dressing and was only now feeling it, ( she was.   umm differnt physiologically than some and her nerves did funny things from time to time). We didnt think much of it at the time then later discovered that her mom had cut her leg dropping a chefs knife while cutting up fruit, in the exact same place, now this is especially weird because her and her mom were not exactly best friends, in fact , at the time she kind of hated her, so  really didnt think there might be any kind of empathic link, but has anything like this happend to anyone else here? Physical manifestation of anothers injury?&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>A Letter To "N" AT 2:23 in the Morning</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/6c3729b9-1e2f-4b3a-874e-e61bfddc5810</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;N,
&lt;br/&gt;wherever you are now, whether it is Georgia, or spiritually in the room I currently occupy; I want you to know you have left me reeling in grief, from the black hole that was once my heart. Any happy emotion floats on through me like a leaf flirting in the wind. I no longer see the world in color, and daily activities feel like film strips. Crying comes and goes like the Irish rain, and the sun only comes out at night. My bed feels empty, and so does the house it occupies.  The angels no longer have their wings, and I stand alone like a ghost.  I cannot enjoy life, because I’m afraid to trust it. I sometimes wish that before you dropped me off that final day, you had killed me. Later on in the evening, the agonizing pain from your betrayal was too much to handle that I threw up all evening in the toilet. I cannot, even now, bear to look at the dates of documents made on my computer, because, in some, I am reminded that I was with you THEN.
&lt;br/&gt;	It is incomprehensible to me over the injustice of fate that the truth of my love for you was juxtaposed to the impurity of your lies. I cannot believe it.  The pain of our parting and the reason behind it, lingers from my core. Every day, I remember a memory and I shed tears over you and the pain you’ve left me with. I thought I’d never find someone who could make one of the worst days in my life a happy one, when I lost my baby girl, because even though I lost her I still had you.   I don’t remember, if I ever told you this, but that day when you raced back to the apartment because I was ill and I had called an ambulance, one of the EMT’s looked at me, after seeing you race into the parking lot and park, and said “Wow, that man, he sure does love you.”  I’ve never forgotten that, and how I immediately thought to myself, “I am so lucky I have found N. I am so happy, I am so lucky fate or God has given me N.” 
&lt;br/&gt;	Yes, there were times I felt dissatisfied with you, mostly in regards to your job and that I felt you weren’t as self-sufficient as I would have liked you to have been, and you still had some growing up to do.  But even still, they were trivial complaints when compared to your lies and the morbidity of our relationship because of them. Not to mention the tremendous pain I feel now because there will never be an “us” again. The pain of having to acknowledge the finality of it is akin to the insurmountable grief of one of us dying. I never thought that day would come, in my mind I could, literally picture your face and hear J playing his violin, and see how even the way you smiled and how your eyes to me glowed and silently spoke the words “I love you” as I walked up the aisle to join you at the altar where we would be married.   I never thought I would be typing a letter, which you will never read, as I cry at 2:23 in the morning. &lt;/div&gt;

      <title>mental illness around empaths</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/36e2d1f1-b73c-465f-b506-957463d6bfcc</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I´m hoping you can help, because if tried talking to friends and it doesn´t seem to make much sense to them...
&lt;br/&gt;My mother is mentally ill, and when I´m around her, I feel I ¨absorb¨ her altered state... kinda like it transfers or clings on me. I ¨see¨ myself as her, and it freaks me out.
&lt;br/&gt;It´s happend to me with other people, but with my mom it´s much much more intense (I don´t know if it´s a mother-daughter thing or it´s just the vibe and thoughts she lets out).
&lt;br/&gt;Does this make any sense?
&lt;br/&gt;If it does, how can I stop it?&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Hitting a wall...</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/472401f2-a89b-4b68-a7ac-46657d3b7713</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Here is something I posted on my blog...and I got the feeling I may get some insight on here...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"So...I had an interesting experience last night, and I can't quite understand it.
&lt;br/&gt;At roughly 2-3am Pacific Time, I was in bed in what I call that "Twilight" phase. The phase between sleep and awake.
&lt;br/&gt;As I was lying there, I had an intense feeling hit me like a ton of bricks. It was terrifying and instant.
&lt;br/&gt;You know that feeling you get when you wander into someplace very dangerous without knowing it? The feeling you get as you ignorantly round the corner only to come across...oh, I don't know...a bomb, or a mob of gangsters...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;There is this sudden feeling of danger and fear that is COMPLETELY unexpected, and as you turn away and leave the danger, a side of you knows you are safe, but you are certainly rattled.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The whole experience lasts about 2 seconds, but the after-effects last a while longer.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;That is what I experienced in the middle of the night last night. It was sudden, terrifying, intense, and happened in a split-second. I had difficulty sleeping the rest of the night as I was so shaken up from the experience.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Now, on occasion, I have been known to hit what I call "Breaking the Sleep Barrier."
&lt;br/&gt;When you break the sound barrier, there's a sonic BOOM! as you progress to the speed of sound and beyond...
&lt;br/&gt;Well, breaking the SLEEP barrier (hehehe) is when your whole body does one single convulsion before you lose 100% conciousness and hit the REM cycle of sleep.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;THIS I have done on occasion, and the convulsion has been enough to actually wake me up...but this is just an uncontrollable nerve-reaction, and there is no emotion associated with it.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Last night, however, was just as intense, and had the same time duration, the same "BOOM!" as Breaking the Sleep Barrier, but no physical movement was involved. Instead, it as 100% pure emotion.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Wish I knew what it was... "
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Any pointers? Ideas?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Also if anyone wants to subscribe to my blog...(its all Empath-Related) send me a message with your email...and I'll send an invitation...&lt;/div&gt;

      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/8fdd566d-3d1f-4f97-b52d-499098b7e5ac</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;How does one who has a gift such as ours deal with oppression and anger directed towards us?
&lt;br/&gt;How do we fight against people who think we're insane?
&lt;br/&gt;I have a blog where I document experiences I have as an Empath (www.empath-diary.blogspot.com) in the hopes that it will help others.
&lt;br/&gt;My father has decided to use it against me and as a judge on my mental state.
&lt;br/&gt;Sadly, because of this, I have had to restrict my blog as an "invitation only" (so if anyone is interested, send me your email, and I will add you)...
&lt;br/&gt;I hate the fact that I have to resort to this simply to protect myself.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;But so you guys are aware, this is the kind of opposition I have to
&lt;br/&gt;deal with (this is from an email to my mother from my Father):
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Accusations of lying doesn’t make it true. David and his “forked
&lt;br/&gt;tongue” comments have become quite funny, and his belief he is an
&lt;br/&gt;empath even funnier, because if he was truly what his science beliefs
&lt;br/&gt;are, then he would recognize what the truth is and how we both feel,
&lt;br/&gt;and his focus would be entirely different. That has become quite
&lt;br/&gt;amusing actually.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I am not appealing for anything, because your hatred has turned into
&lt;br/&gt;such vitriolic paranoia that it is impossible to appeal to you as the
&lt;br/&gt;mother of my children, but I want you to think about the damage that
&lt;br/&gt;is being done when your paranoia is now being echoed by your 27 year
&lt;br/&gt;old son, who should have a mind of his own and be bright enough to
&lt;br/&gt;have figured out things on his own.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;His science fiction beliefs have now turned into a blog that he uses
&lt;br/&gt;it to attack me. It serves no other purpose but to publicly make a
&lt;br/&gt;fool of himself.  It gives a lot of insight into his mental state and
&lt;br/&gt;what is going on at home and it is not good, nor is it healthy.  He
&lt;br/&gt;doesn’t hurt me with it. He is just echoing your paranoia, but it is
&lt;br/&gt;sad to see what he too has become because he has no ability to think
&lt;br/&gt;for himself."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;These are SMALL exerpts from a VERY long email, and this is all the
&lt;br/&gt;result of him reading my blog.
&lt;br/&gt;How does one deal with this?! 
&lt;br/&gt;Im starting to lose all emotional control...which isnt a good thing as an empath. I need to be in control of my OWN emotions if I am going to help people with THEIRS...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So now...I as you guys...help ME.....&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Ever had any of this happen?</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/bf013194-ba77-4241-9151-66996d151410</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Once you could put a word to what you were, did you seem to understand it better and thus it worked better? I read about shielding a couple months ago and used it when I felt things from strangers in public that weren't my own. (But I seem to have some sort of natural obliviousness - I only get 'hit' a couple times an hour without consciously shielding. It's not as bad as others have it. I'm weak sauce I guess!)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;When you understood shielding, did your abilities seem to get better? It's SO strange but as soon as I put shielding to use, things became clearer. Easier. I had stronger hunches and more accurate 'reads'.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Is it unusual to be strong in certain 'areas' of feeling? I find myself INSTANTLY picking up on love and attraction - it just comes to me and I know someone is in love with someone closeby who has no idea. I'm sensitive to manipulative people. (Yuck. Hate those.)  Of course I am a bleeding heart for anyone who feels bad about themselves. Like I wish I could give everyone a dose of my optimism! Funny thing is it seems like I can sometimes. But there are several people who I feel DRAINED after talking to and boosting. I'm doing that to myself aren't I? I'm leaking? Any way to share the good feelings but not drain myself completely? &lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Ok, so me and my boyfriend are both empaths. It gets real hard sometimes to be happy. He is manic depressive and has a lot of stuff on his mind with him going into the airforce in a few months.And i have a past that keeps me on the downside alot but when one of us is happy the saddness of the other wins. Its hard to have a happy relationship but i love him with all my heart and dont want to lose him for anything. I need advice, on things to try and what i should do about this.&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>The brick wall</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/c8722408-5ca5-49cb-a2a0-bde365845d89</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hello all, im new here. Im very glad ive found this site, for it is filled with much information ive found very usefull. A little background on me for starters. Im 25 years old, had become aware of things at about 18 years old. By aware i mean fully aware. Had previously grown up with lots of coincidences that had always left me wondering until one day....call it fate, luck, or whatever i was thrown into this world of "what does not exist". Everything came at me at about a million miles an hour as i struggled to understand what it was i was doing as well as how it was effecting others. I've lost serveral friends as well as all but one, with empath being at the heart of each failure. One girl who left (the first one) gave her reason as "It's like he's always in my head. i cant even think with out him knowing about it." After the first girlfriend i left, i eventully revealed my i guess you would say abilities, to each one after that. Leaving details of the full extent vague to prevent a repeat of the first relationship that this was involved in. it slowly became haunting, and i grew to hate and dispise it in my life. Became active in three or so forums that people suggested grounding, and other such things to control the overwhelming information coming in. All the suggestions were an epic fail, and nothing seemed to work or calm anything. So i decided to go my own way with "control", as i had discovered how to temparerly block it. I had found if i dispised and hated what was me enough everything would grow silent. This silence was and has been like being in an overcrowded pitch black room. you know everyone is there around you, you just dont know whats going on. Now due to cercumstances i will explain in a second, the crowded dark room is no longer a place of peace but of confusion with a slight hint of chaos. Things came to be this way as i had as i had unknowingly discovered that these empathic (for lack of a better word) have given me not only the extra ear to hear beyond simple words, but the ability to create my responces in order to minipulate a situation to my own interest. This in turn due to my own ignorace had been the creation and failure of relationships after the first.  The last relationship i had (four years long) was the begining of the end. This person was behond excepting of who i was and what i could do. As such i was treated....normal even after what i could do was show and proven to her. Due to my own ignorance of her blind exceptance things failed as we simply could not get along. We both went in with baggage, each being differnt baggage but both in a situation that we could not help each other. i was blocking out 80% of everything preventing me from comprehending resolve to most problems. We are now still great friends but i have since created a near 99% block on everything that is me once i came to realize the distruction i had cause and misuse of everything i could do as well as fear of how far i could go with it. i have avoided all relationships like the plague for the past year and a half in order to further understand myself as well as take a break from myself. i had come to relize in this time the extent of the effect i have had on others as well as what i have learned in the past from ignorant expermints and playing with what i could do and who i was. I could minipulate any situation and created a racing mind that was and still to some defenceive extent constantly analizing  every word and thought in order to predict and create a sucessful responce. Now with the new found reilization i have successfuly blocked most everything out, creating a chotic and blind walk of life that i now go foward to restore to its previous ability  in order to further grasp who i am and what i am. This ability now only comes out in an obvious form to me in extreme defencive situations. Therefore i am now looking to unblock and get rid of this brick wall i have created between me and the rest of the world in order to further understand and control what i can do. Blocking everyting out as now given me the fear of exploding out the full extent of what i can do (which is an intence fear because i dont even know what i can do) because of a fear of a bottling up effect that will eventully overwhelm myself to look for release. im now looking to slowly bring things back to "normal" to feel less confused, ignorant, etc.  i guess thats about it.

      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/1b54674c-facd-4146-8f03-d46f41eb4fed</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Has anyone come across any articles or whatnot concerning scientific research into the abilities of an Empath? Brainscans, experiments, and so forth?
&lt;br/&gt;I would love to add some "concrete" evidence to my blog to help all the skeptics out there understand that this is a very real phenomena. 
&lt;br/&gt;I mean, we have instruments to find ghost activity...so Im curious if there is anything like that out there for us?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If so, PLEASE let me know..and link here!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Thanks guys!

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Lately I avoid crowds.  The emotional static I feel is just so damned uncomfortable to be around.  
&lt;br/&gt;And I ponder more of thoughts I've pondered before.
&lt;br/&gt;Is my nervousness me, or am I feeling something or someone else out there?
&lt;br/&gt;Same for depression.  I consider mild depression my normal.
&lt;br/&gt; When I can't concentrate or sit still, is that a sort of emotional overload from the emotional static?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Instructors I respect tell me I can discipline myself around these problems but, I am not a discipline type person..
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Should I take more responsibility for endogenous creation of these effects?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I find the life of an agoraphobic, recluse works best for me.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;At there best, my gifts involve health issues in other people and I sometimes use the handle, Ethereal Physician.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;C'est Moi

      <description>&lt;div&gt;My sugar skull was out by the candles and alcoholic beverages, favorite foods etc. and I felt it.  They were with me.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Did anyone else celebrate and feel a presence.
&lt;br/&gt; Others may share first then I will offer my experience.

      <title>The word Empath, how did it come to your mind and understanding</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/e0df34f3-e2f0-4ddc-ba8d-841cd4c83f76</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;The word Empath, how did it come to your mind and understanding. We had danced with this somewhat  before here, but I just posted this on claircognizant tribe, on a on going tread and felt it appropriate to start a thread here on it as well. And it made me realize, I had never asked this before, even though it has been floating around in the back of my mind for some time.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;How did it first get started, when did it first show up, I  know how it came  for me, it came to me 10 years ago or so from within, not from the physical world.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Some of us seem more connected then others on a unseen level.  As I  began to discover who I was and what my abilities were 20 years ago, I tried to put a name to it, that felt right for me. The term HSP did not last long, then Intuitive, that one seemed somewhat ok, Sensitive seemed better, but still did not feel completely right.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I did a deep search years ago and found what most fit for me, was Empath, With the definition, that it was someone who felt others emotions as their own and being sensitive to other energies as etc as well. I could find no definition for how I wanted to use it, to fit me, so I make up my own, and now look at it today.   I guess Troy the Councilor, in Star Treks Next Generation had some feed into this process, and especially her brother or cousin who could not turn off his receiver like most of their race could. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Every couple years I would look to find anyone using Empath in that way, but never did. Somewhat over a  year ago, I did another search and found the word Empath being used widely on the Internet as I had decided to use it years ago myself. It was nice it happened, but then I wondered how did it happen. It came to me, that Sensitive Empaths and etc most be connected on a subconscious  level for  everyone to start using the word a like, and come to a common acceptance and understanding.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I find that thought and spirit go out from us and we can pick it up as well, not only from God, but from each other it seem. Maybe at a spiritual energy level, we are connected more like the Internet then I had previously ever conceived before.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Does any one know  how or who started using the Word Empath to mean, someone who feels others emotions as their own.
&lt;br/&gt;

      <title>Favorite quotes that inspire peaceful co-existence.</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/7c05282d-dff3-46d4-81d0-a57f3b86615f</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I am collecting quotes for a musical experiment. The experiment is going to consist of gathering the quotes that most inspire humanity to peacefully co-exist, and that also promote us to come together and live in harmony. In addition I am also gathering quotes that offer real meaningful solutions to troubles both physical, spiritual, and societal. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;My intent is to take the best quotations and translate them word by word into musical notes. I will then begin to put together a symphony consisting of the top voted quotations that sound the most amazing. Once that is completed I will ask many people to listen to both the symphony and the literary translation that it derived from. I will also ask them if they liked the song and if they have any constructive criticisms, and or suggestions that would add to the continuing perfection of the symphony.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If we all begin to live our lives in a mutually beneficial groove we will all be creating a state of mind that enhances the quality of life for anyone who listens to it. The meaningful purpose of this experiment is to co-create a song that everyone will enjoy subconsciously tuning themselves into. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I need your help. This is not something that can be done by one person. I have learned that doing this on my own can create beautiful music that tunes me into manifesting things, situations, and aspirations into being. But it also limits the true potential of what this form of literary musical translation can do. I know I do not have all the answers to all of the modern day problems that humanity faces, but I know that we as a human race do. We need to come together and create a song that we can all enjoy tuning into. If we do things, situations, and aspirations will begin to manifest for anyone who listens and tunes into it, because they will understand its true musical and literal meanings with all the benefits it implies. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If you would like to contribute to this musical experiment please respond by posting your favorite quotes that you feel will most benefit and inspire humanity to wake up and realize who we are, and what we all are truly capable of becoming.&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>something weird this morning?</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/2f1a063a-9c95-45ac-baf6-d9a1b4fc36ac</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;So, I was feeling VERY down this morning, and I attributed it to being on break from classes (it always seems to happen)...then my boyfriend was saying he felt this really weird incredible feeling of loss this morning, like when a character in a book dies. For no reason. He doesn't get random depression like me, so I was wondering if he picked up on my stuff, or if somewhere a planet imploded...or what! Any thoughts?&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>What Happens When You Get Angry?</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/251b389c-e6e7-4af7-94d5-e02c716a2b94</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I was wondering about something.  Empaths are often complaining about picking up the feelings and issues of people around.  I was wondering, what happens when empaths get angry.  Do we project anger when we get angry.  If so, it's very likely that people can feel the anger that we may project.  If that's true, what happens when you boil over with anger?

      <title>call for healers, burningman 2009</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/8e88a1f0-ec71-4791-a4b3-cd969f36a0c1</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;My dear brothers and sisters,
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;My name is Soulfriend and I am calling together the healing domes for the Redlightning community in Black Rock CIty, Nevada.  (www.redlightning.org) 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The healing council has formed and our vision is materializing. This message is for you who are called to hold space with us. To be of service to the immediate community Redlightning, as well as to the community of BRC and beyond.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Are you interested in co-creating and activating a harmonic resonance for vitality, health, life and transformational work? Are you who we are dreaming in, to collectively hold down this space on the playa?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The intention is to offer a variety of healing modalities ie: DNA activations, oracles, light workers, massage, healing touch, yoga, sound healing… you name it, to those going through their processes within the vibrations of the divine feminine and sacred masculine, uniting at the vesica piscis. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We will be working out of two domes within the Redlightning. The first will be a facilitated healing space with tables for active process with a center altar for prayer and connecting to the vortex of the 7th dimension. The second dome will be a community wellness sanctuary for group work ie: breath work, sound healing, guided meditation, talks on blood mysteries... Between workshops, it will be a contemplative/retreat space for people to meditate or rest and receive the vibrations that we as a collective activate and hold throughout the week.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We will also be working in tandem with the tender-hart guardians and invite you to consider offering your services as a guardian of the healing domes and the healers as well. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Please contact Gabriel (gabesho@hotmail.com) if you have interest in the following:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;*Serving on the council
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;*Participating as a healer offering one or more 4 hour shifts (I will need a short bio from you)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;*Offering workshops
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;*Have any questions / offerings
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;*Participating as a guardian of the domes and healers
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If we all bring our gifts to this process, fully offering who we are, it will be effortless and transformational for all involved, reaching far into the future and into the world.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I look forward to speaking with you, knowing you and your gifts and playing in the light.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Namaste,
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Soulfriend
&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>New Group for Indigo Children and Adults</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/a61307f7-e6df-465c-9d07-2a178177a31b</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;There is a new Indigo group on PeopleString. PeopleString is a new concept in social networking where 70% of the ad revenues that FB, MySpace, and other social networks keep for themselves, gets paid back to the users. I won't be at all surprised if this thing really takes off, considering it is in everyones own self interest. Imagine if you will, Win-Win as a business concept. Sounds right up our alley. Best part is it doesn't COST anything to get a cut of the action. There is nothing to sell. Just offer the free services to your friends so that they can profit from it too. Heck MySpace is already on the way out. PeopleString is the NEW way to connect. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Just follow the link to sign up for your free account, then look for "Indigos on PeopleString" in the social networks "Groups" section

      <title>Connecting with people's sadness....</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/bf8a196c-f55c-4c6b-a2cb-63409ef9cdf1</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I work as a therapist and I am empathetic. I do this at work  and with people in general, I seem to connect with there deep sadness. ( I also connect with there joy but that's not a problem per say) . The more I see myself as a healer It makes more sense that I see this sadness, the place that needs healing in them. It connects to the places in me that need healing . Sometimes I get overwhelmed with a person's sadness. And then I have to be ultra focused on the joy and already healed places to counterbalance it. But sometimes I just see the sadness. I see how much healing the human race needs and how much can I do? 
&lt;br/&gt;I also wonder why a lot of people don't see it ( whether it's a person right in front of us or Palestinians or Darfurians or mothers or children) . There is a deep sadness to being human. I have healed enough of it in myself to help others but I want to do more. 
&lt;br/&gt;( I also may be dealing with a new layer of sadness becoming visible to me in myself ) Does it end? Do we ever get to the root of it and feel only joy? 
&lt;br/&gt;I want to connect deeply with people and yet the pain is sometimes more than I can safely take. And I feel such responsibility to see the beauty and joy , to keep that connection going too.  
&lt;br/&gt;What can we do as healers, to feel and be connected and know that sadness is there and yet be ok with it? How can I help heal people most effectively?&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;I decided to keep a Journal about all my experiences as an Empath, and I would really appreciate some input on it, if you guys are willing and have the time. I'm not really looking for any advice in particular, although I appreciate any and all, I just wanna know that what I'm writing is being noticed...maybe my experiences can help others.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So please I ask that everyone check out http://empath-diary.blogspot.com/

&lt;br/&gt;I would totally appreciate it!

      <title>The POTENTIAL of an Empath?</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/1359a78c-0f52-43e2-b6eb-0614770e8ed1</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hey guys, It has been a LONG LONG time since Ive been back here, and I apologize for my lack of activity, but Im back!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I got to thinking the other night about the theoretical potentials of Empaths, and I wrote it in the following blog:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;http://pushersandmovers.blogspot.com/
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;(Keep in mind, its a blog, so you have to read it from the bottom post to the top one)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I would greatly appreciate any comments or insight on it...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Thanks guys!&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;I don't know where else to ask advice, because this is the most likely place I could think of for people who have higher ethical standards than average. 
&lt;br/&gt;I have cheated. Emotionally. I have recently come to face this fact, in the flesh, seeing him with his girlfriend. We have declared love, adoration, everything you could do without touching each other. 
&lt;br/&gt;So I had to ask (either here or the INFJ board)...is there something I should do? Obviously I have stopped the cycle, we are not talking. I would wonder if I should tell the girlfriend - but I did once before, was reamed out, and she obviously trusted him again anyway. Now that I have met her in person, there is no way to get myself out of culpability...but it will do no good to tell her.
&lt;br/&gt;Anything else I should do? Or simply live with it? I am not in a relationship, and won't be until I'm straightened out enough to be sure this will not happen again (I broke up with my ex - and told him the truth - a long time ago, honestly wanting to be with this guy...he did not have the same idea). &lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Celibacy</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/fabdd0cf-18e3-4bdd-9f6c-b734885928d1</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I've decided to be celibate for an indeterminate period of time...essentially until I can be with THE right person. Anything less just feels like a terrible experience and not worth it.
&lt;br/&gt; That said, I am missing contact...not even sexual, I am okay with that, just loving contact. What can I do to satiate that need, so that I don't feel deprived? Is there such a thing as a Friend with Cuddle Benefits?? People have said yoga helps, but my problem isn't really redirecting the sexual energy. Any other suggestions?&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;I am extremely empathic and have wrestled with it for years to some degree..but usually it helps me to relate to people and see and care.
&lt;br/&gt;Lately I have become empathic on a global scale. It got to one point wHere I could not watch certain films.
&lt;br/&gt;I guess I am here for company and help and advice.
&lt;br/&gt;tuned into the world..you can guess I can be a mess at times. I am also unemployeed and my fears have grown as my confidence has wained.
&lt;br/&gt;Nice to meet you all and I hope that you can help me..and me -you.
&lt;br/&gt;Peace,
&lt;br/&gt;Kalona&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Codepency and Empathy, The Hardest Habit to Unlearn?</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/d7aee31c-e428-4709-83c9-9671e8cbee0a</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Okay folks, I want to hear a frank discussion on Codependency. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I think we need our own groups.  Without blatantly f-ing up certain things, I joined groups trying to express how my brain works without saying "empathy is a psychic faculty" directly. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Believe me, I can package certain things in certain ways. Its just harder when I desperately want to find out the way codependency works in an empath versus a muggle! 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It harkens back to my first post on here about how I wanted to know what a muggle was.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Anyway some NTs would ask if being empathic is like being Counselor Troi. 
&lt;br/&gt;As far as we know, did she show a codependent personality trait or two on Star Trek: TNG or was it in First Contact when she was put in an odd position of having to get drunk with Zefram Cochrane for some need to extract information from him? 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I have to wonder if codependent tendencies without referring to certain websites, but instead finding definitions on other websites, is prevalent or even epidemic amongst us. If so, how to manage a group separate from CODA? 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;They have some rules against media dabblings. The Internet may or may not count so I don't want to flub and say anything confidential. I think we should start our own groups though, that much I can say. I tried to explain who I was in a holistic fashion. Instead, I get told I'm ADD, an its shoved down my throat by some idiot who has no idea what he's talking about even though he's done research for himself. I was feeling ill, so I said that I didn't need to take his crap, thanks and walked out. Many groups have social meetings after. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It must be a codependent mirror mirror on the wall situation for people like us.  Then you're feeling someone's codependency, and even if you've coped on your own you could slip based on feeling it from the other &amp;amp; wanting to help them despite possibly crossing a boundary you don't know about? This is my first instinct based on knowing what codependency is for those who aren't as wired as we are. &lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Encourage Health Care Reform</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/8aa6f1fe-5bad-4882-aa88-cbf283e75512</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hey there,
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I just sent a quick message to my Representative in Congress to vote "yes" on health care bill H.R. 3200, "America's Affordable Health Choices Act," this week. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;For the past couple of weeks, our Representatives in Congress have been bombarded by a multi-million dollar campaign from the opposition. Our voices - voices from people who are actually dealing with the broken health care system - are needed NOW.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We need the political courage to get this done. Join me in telling Members of Congress to put the people of our state before special interests in Washington, DC. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Sign here: http://action.seiu.org/page/speakout/July28
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Thanks!&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Sedona, AZ</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/8801094f-ab72-46d8-be8d-bf79bf6c945f</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;So...my mom lives in Sedona, AZ. I'm here visiting her. I've never been here before. I am astounded at all the mountains and land not taken up by people. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;One of my questions is that I feel an extreme amount of anxiety here. It is freaking me out. I researched Sedona and I know about these vortexes, but people say it's all positive, life-changing stuff. I feel so anxious that I just want to leave and go home. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;does anyone have any suggestions or anything? thanks&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>How many feel more pain, have redundant nerves,  as a Empath or Sensitive</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/33c2ab04-04ed-44e4-877d-040dbcb9aba7</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;How many feel more pain, as a Empath or Sensitive. I was reminded of this, as I had to have some minor dental work done again. Pain killers shots don't seem to shut down the nerve. At times it  takes 7 times the amount of pain killers to  block a nerve in my jaw. I remember the same thing happened when they went in for a bone marrow biopsy.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It is   really a pain, really when the dentist cannot shut  off the pain, when he tries to work on my teeth.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The Dentist  is wondering and me too, if there is not some kind of redundant nerve flow, more then one nerve flowing to the same area or areas.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I also have the extra 6 lumbar vertebrae in my back, and my neck cervical vertebra's are longer then usual.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So high IQ, hypersensitive, Empathic, and what ??? Anyone else have any of these conditions? Do it all tie into one package, or are they separated inherited from being a Sensitive/Empath?
&lt;br/&gt;

      <title>Brain stuck</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/6bd7b823-36f4-465c-a07e-1a61b2ac02e1</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Brain stuck,  Was not sure how to describe it. Not sure if it is part of being a Sensitive and a Empath, or just some other inherited malfunction not related, my father mentioned to me, he had the same problem at times. Is this something common to everyone or not?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Say you are working on your car or etc and you realize you need a tool, you don't have at hand, but you have one some place else or need to go buy one; which would make the job easier and greatly lesson time to completion. Instead you get locked in, and keep thinking I need to stick with, to save time and get done sooner, but you really know that is not the case, But instead of breaking away from the project, you continue in futility to try to do the job without what you need, what every it is. It seems like you are trap[ed in a mental time loop, and and find it hard to break away. It takes a lot of effort to do so, and many times you can't, until you hurt yourself trying to do it without what you need, of you quite from fatigue and or frustration. Maybe this is just part of a  mild Obsessive compulsive thing that some Empaths and Sensitive have.&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Why we "overreact"</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/ee5518b5-754f-427b-b117-d71fcfde1d7d</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I think, most of us have been accused of overreacting towards situations and relationships, and we blame it on the high sensitivity, that comes with the ability. But I have thought about another explanation, which makes more sense to me any way. The full explanation can be found here: http://skeptic.dk/?p=40 (and I have linked to the specific post, so nobody should be exposed to the sometimes ehm.. expressive words I use) 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I will try to give a perspective here anyway.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;For me, it is so very important not to have clutter in my emotions. When I have clutter, I don't know how I feel about something, and when I can't put words to my feelings, I very easily risk being caught up in other peoples emotions. So emotional clutter needs to be sorted out. And it really doesn't matter how seemingly insignificant the clutter is, it just have to be sorted out.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;To other people, this comes off as being an "overreaction", but in reality, it is just a normal reaction to an abnormal way of living. &lt;/div&gt;

      <title>How many Sensitive Empaths, have these situations ?</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/8701458d-ae13-44e3-ad02-314a31ea27c1</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;How many Sensitive Empaths, have these situations ?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Feel others  emotions as their own, hard to distinguish many  times. 
&lt;br/&gt;Have dietary restriction because of intolerance to foods like meat/flesh, dairy, wheat and similar grains, chocolate, unnatural man made sugars, food additives, and chemicals in general as far as that goes.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Because of these things and just how we are wired, prone to neurological problems like over fearfulness, dyslexia, ADHD and etc,  obsessive compulsive behavior, depression, anxiety,  and etc stress overload. Easily over stimulated by smells, light, sound, too many people, emotional aggressive people and etc. Easily over sexually stimulated, by how you are wired physically, but how others constantly send out mental, emotional, and pheromone signals.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;How many are high IQ ed, and  are able to sense all things at a much greater level. Having a much greater sense for every thing, I  guess like some of our pet animals; like smelling and noticing  things most are never even aware of.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I know that just like everyone else, Empaths come in different forms, and we all have greater abilities in some areas, but was wonder how many have most of these things to some degree?

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hello everyone, I'm someone who's been wondering my entire life if something was wrong with me.  I'm an extremely, I'd use the word "aware" person.  I don't want to say too much and come across as crazy but I really would like to know that I'm not a weirdo or crazy.  I can see what people don't want seen about them. It's kind of hard to explain but I feel what they feel and I know things about them as a person.  I'm not saying I read minds.  I just feel and know. I've lost friends because of it because maybe I've said things that maybe were too personal that wasn't meant to be shared with others.&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>knowing emotional pain</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/bcf587a8-eb42-4886-8a03-9b8678d51a3f</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;my emotional pain is hard to describe 
&lt;br/&gt;it gnaws at my very being never ending 
&lt;br/&gt;no matter what I do it rips at my soul 
&lt;br/&gt;imagining a life without it is hopeless 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;living with such torment is not that easy 
&lt;br/&gt;for its grasp upon me has taken its toll 
&lt;br/&gt;not letting it consume me is a struggle 
&lt;br/&gt;this pain appears the only thing I know 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;trying to get rid of it has exhausted me 
&lt;br/&gt;many things I have done to eliminate it 
&lt;br/&gt;yet it resists every attempt continually 
&lt;br/&gt;my emotional pain seems here to stay 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;this realization in a sense has freed me 
&lt;br/&gt;now I view it to be absolutely different 
&lt;br/&gt;expressing my pain through words helps 
&lt;br/&gt;releasing my anguish provides some relief 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;finally I've found purpose within my pain 
&lt;br/&gt;where this will all take me I do not know 
&lt;br/&gt;for others grow tired of hearing me groan 
&lt;br/&gt;maybe pain too will weary leaving me alone 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;or maybe I’ll accept this pain as normal 
&lt;br/&gt;something as My Abnormalities Normality 
&lt;br/&gt;my felt sense of emotional pain is just me 
&lt;br/&gt;me a sensitive and what’s wrong with that 
&lt;br/&gt;

      <title>If i handed you a rose...</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/c2e861fb-fcea-47d8-82a7-c3d21630e763</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Once upon a time, I found a rose. Was it for me? I thought so.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I picked it up and smiled. Just then some people passed me by and smiled at me as though they knew I had just been given something truly wonderful and they shared in my delight.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;That rose I found did not fade. And if it had, what would that say? If words were made of light, the light would never go away.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;And the days pass by like so many pages falling from the calendar, a tree with leaves that fall and grow again from some unvisible realm that stays the way it is even as it becomes and is born into this moment.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I want to share in the birth of the world, a great and wonderful birth that I could delight in for eternity. Then I would see that rose as I handed it to someone or left it at their feet to find one day and remember what it is that knows how to make a tree out of a seed, to know that need that fills a cloud with rain or the moon with love.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I look for that rose all the time. I fancy it may have as many forms as can be. it made me look; it made me see.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;it is passing now and it is gone, the seed or some eternal song i listen for, imagining I can hear what it hears or the dream that i adore
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;life...no...not life...a feeling that slips beneath my gaze and slips through fingers like starlight and all the questions and all the answers mingling in the aspiration of the one who could give all this love away and smile...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;once upon a time, this was a dream... a flower dropped into a stream.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;where does it go from here? &lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;When we pay attention to the way we feel, and then choose thoughts that feel the very best, we manage our own vibration, which means we are controlling our own point of attraction - which means we are creating our own reality.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The less attention we give to everybody else's reality, the purer our vibration is going to be - and the more we are going to be pleased with what comes to us.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;How do we give attention to other people's reality? Sometimes by watching the TV and reading the newspaper. By the books we choose to read. The people we associate with a lot. Our vibration is often the average of the five people we associate with the most!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So for today I choose to pay attention to the way I feel, and listen to that inner guidance to discern which thoughts bring me closer to joy and which ones lead me away!

      <title>loving a sensitive</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/73d95dfb-472e-49d0-9bad-2b30e6b77e38</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;loving a sensitive really not that easy 
&lt;br/&gt;a special person it takes to understand 
&lt;br/&gt;my emotional highs and lows are rough 
&lt;br/&gt;even hard for me at times the empathic 
&lt;br/&gt;another putting up with me seems silly 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;every so often someone comes along 
&lt;br/&gt;alluring me into thinking this is the one 
&lt;br/&gt;they give their best but run out of gas 
&lt;br/&gt;after they thought they would fix me 
&lt;br/&gt;each time I swear never to love again 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;being empathic an unusual mystical path 
&lt;br/&gt;only if psychically I’d never fly high again 
&lt;br/&gt;how easy then to let love’s call pass on by 
&lt;br/&gt;but my psychic disposition holds out hope 
&lt;br/&gt;why wouldn’t someone love me this way 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;out in the world many undergo far worse 
&lt;br/&gt;therefore I’m not crying out to get pity 
&lt;br/&gt;I know I'll get beyond this lost love again 
&lt;br/&gt;still my empathic pain from lost love hurts 
&lt;br/&gt;and my heighten sensitivity doesn't help 
&lt;br/&gt;

      <title>I really need some support, please</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/1322bb9d-a198-4f81-841f-9038e27b8e20</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I just found out that my friend, who I still love and professed to love me, is also posting "missed connections" to his other Ex...the one he supposedly fell in love with me afterward. It's complicated, and I guess I should have seen all the signs, I really feel like an idiot now and I just want to take myself out. He would not ever call me, only write to me anonymously or email me...SUCH sweet things, but apparently he was vacillating between the two of us, and maybe more. I thought we had an amazing connection, but I think maybe he really is just an emotional vampire, and I was there as an unaware empath, with no boundary awareness, ready to take on his pain whenever she wasn't being perfect. He also has borderline personality disorder. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Wow. Writing all that out, it seems completely obvious. But I had hope...I trusted him that he was just too "broken" to communicate in real life...I loved and supported and waited. There wasn't intimacy, this was all heavy emotional stuff. But 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Why, as an Empath, could I not detect this early? Now I am able to notice, even from a distance, when he is trying to expand his aura into mine and take over, and better at blocking it. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Please, I need some encouraging words. I just had a few minutes where I wanted to jump in front  of a train. I've got to get this straight in my head!! I know for SURE I don't want this guy in a relationship, given the behavior I now know. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Any advice? I know on these forums - unlike others - there are much fewer (if any) demeaning responses, which I appreciate.&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>What happened?</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/cd90e34c-5a8d-43f0-b602-1b3010e8559e</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I had a connection with a person that I seem to have a telepathic link with.
&lt;br/&gt;He was wondering about technical problems and asking questions about his altar that he has just created .It was strongly madnetised and it felt like a swift current coming from it, like a white or black hole, not sure which one.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I did not want to get involved and did not answer.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Suddenly, I felt like an electric current sweep over me. It did not touch me but appeared to be hitting an overlapping  sphere on me - I was lying in bed at the time.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;There was an audible snap in the room and my mental screen went dark, like a telvision that one turns on.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;After a few minutes. the communication with the person reappeared but more as an echo.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I am trying to figure out what went on.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I suspect the person of having tried to bind me psychically, it looks like some operation of that ilk but I could be wrong 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I have not been in touch with him for while and though we had been very close at a point, intended on detaching completely.&lt;/div&gt;

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

      <title>how to break telepathic links?</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/fb8e9cc4-d21f-441d-9772-5ef15ff9862f</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Curious about the different techniques people use. My current method is to randomly link to a different person (lol)... For lack of an effective technique. I have tried visualizing the person on a screen and 'shattering' the screen like it  were made of glass (absent from any emotion, of course), as suggested by a book, i forgot which... But it kind of doesn't work... or even pings the person. I have tried visualizing the link as an energy tube disentegrating... but its either too slow, or im too lazy. Does any one have a more manual or trigger-like technique? Realistically, the best way is probably just to drop the person's image altogether, but i think im still far from that kind of control.&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Chord cutting/energy exchange?</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/6b2e9341-3ee7-44af-a103-d59d5cd43c5f</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I am not even sure what the subject line should be but this tribe seems like a good place to post this. I am going through so much stuff and I have no one to bounce it off of- I had a relationship 12 years ago with soemone who was not that well. I knew that but was in quite a desperate part of my life and I guess, in a way, I used this person. I always felt quite ashamed of the relationship but I think mostly because it was so sexual and I think I picke dup all of their shame and guilt etc. Well, now in my community it has come to light that I had this relationship. I never tried to hide it but it was a little bit of a secret I guess. Anyway- this man kinds of repluses me so I have been cutting chords- not in anger- but just so that I can move on with my life sans guilt and shame. Anyway, it's really weird because I am going through all of this stuff with this person- energy exchanges etc., even though I am not in contact with them- it's all at the subliminal level but I do feel kind of energetically stalked. It also has darker elements and I have been struck by the fact that this person was a "trap" and that he took something away from me. I guess he did- it was pretty sordid- I was young and really quite desperate. I am really trying to move beyond it- hence the chord cutting because I realized that when I met him all of my chackras were open- I didn't know anything about all of that stuff then. Anyway, people are using it against me which I consider very mean and adolescent- even if he was this awful troll...doesn't measn that he's not a human being. I live in a small town and this happened just as I moved here. The only reason i can think that people are using it against me is power- which I don't care about anyway- I just don't want to feel all of teh shame, control, etc., that I feel coming from him. The weird thing is that I feel his presence in and around me. I don't want to be aggressive with chord cutting etc., and want to be kind but i do want to be free. It was a mistake- I was wrong to use someone/to be sneaky about it. It was 12 years ago. I want to move on. It's also weid because I have a beautiful old cat and I got a dog 2.5 years ago and my cat has been quite stressed out- I have been trying to find a new home for the dog- but it all seems connected somehow- that and not helping a girl that I think i was supposed to help...anyway, I don't know if anyone knows what I am talking about but I guess my questions are more about cutting energy chords in peace but how do you know what;s your will and just letting it happen. For instance I felt one of my heart chords shielding his chords because he was fighting to stay attached to me- so the sheild came up and his chords attached to the shield but then I felt the chord going deep into my heart with him on the other side of the chord????? so I made the chord come out and cleaned it off...but i felt like that was my will and that I should have just let it go into my heart. I am very confused and do not know what I am doing!!! I just want to be free of all of the shame and guilt but somehow I feel like I am helping him.... and I don't know if that's what I should be doing considering that I feel that he quite hurt me- my reputation- by gossipping about me- and lording around like he still owns a part of my soul- 12 years later??? Any thoughts??  &lt;/div&gt;

      <title>reverse telepathy, group mind and awareness</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/84acad4a-45e5-4961-afa4-df3bb5840494</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;have any of you ever had an experience where you felt that, rather than you sensing the thoughts and emotions of others, that they could all see into YOUR head and sense what was going on? and if so how did you deal with this situation? 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;if so have you ever had role-reversal or else the ability to open full two-way communication (or rather all-way) and can you actively tune your abilities and senses?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;i realize this is a lot of questions but this is only the beginning really...&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>A Physical Description of what you feel?</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/55978d39-2fa8-4c89-8b56-566ef86cb162</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hello Everyone, I'm Maggie and I'm brand new to the tribe. (as in 24 hours ago).  So please excuse me if I my lingo isn't up to par.  I'm very new to the research of this, but was delighted to find this tribe and read about experiences that mirror my own.
&lt;br/&gt;  I have had physical awareness as well as dreams that showed me impending danger, illness or death of people close to me as well as 9/1/01 (911) The first dream I remember was of my highschool Drama teacher. I was real close to his whole family and babysat his daughter.   I had a dream that one day I dropped by and the daughter met me at the front door with blood all over her dress.  She said "My Dad fell off a ladder and hit his head."  In the dream I found him in his back yard bleeding from the head.  But that was all there was to it.  A few months later he was complaining of head and neck pain one morning.  He passed out shortly thereafter and went into a coma in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.  It was an aneurysm and he died a few days later.  I stayed with the family and helped them through the ordeal.  Now I find a calling or rather a call to duty when someone loses a loved one.  I can keep a cool head and get alot of unpleasant stuff done for them.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;  But what I'm referring to is my other sensitivity, a physical feeling.  The best way to describe it is by using an example:  If anyone has ever been in the presence of a child or your child when they have started to run out into the street in front of a car.  Even if the child stops, your heart takes a big leap, as you make that huge inhale reflex or gasp for air.  That sudden nervous emotional shock is what happens to me.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;  That feeling will come and go for weeks or even months before a death, illness or tragedy.  Many times the feeling will come on when the person's name is mentioned or they call me, etc. or sometimes when certain songs are played.  In addition, I become very restless when I try to sleep, and get up and down several times in the night.
&lt;br/&gt;Does this happen to any of you......
&lt;br/&gt;Thanks in advance,
&lt;br/&gt;Maggie&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Dreaming Premonitions</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/30dfb3b9-208b-4df8-8c20-eb6f10a9331e</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;While dreaming of having a picnic outside in the back yard with family, a missile flew over our heads. The missile hit a nuclear power plant nearby and then ricocheted back towards us. It slide along the ground right near where we were sitting and kept on going through an open field. It eventually slide into a hill and exploded. Out of the top of the hill sprung a stream of water spraying all over the land near by us. We went to the back of the house and started trying to project the rise of the water on the house foundation. We were trying to predict how much time before the house would be flooded. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I had a dream similar a week prior to this one, but I won’t relate that one to you at this time. By the second dream, I knew I was having a premonition not only on a personal level but on a global scale as well. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;That morning to the second dream, I realized North Korean launched its missile. Following that, Italy had its earthquake and yet because this was my second premonition, I knew this entailed more than just these events. A gunman also had just killed 13 people in Binghamton, NY; and because of my empathic sensitivity, I now psychically have a felt sense that humanity as a whole is now experiencing a cycle of emotional activity that translates into heartfelt pain and worry that’s higher than usual. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;How long this emotional cycle will last on a global scale, I don’t know.&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;The week before the equinox I had a spine-tingling fun time downloading energies of joy, and now everything around me is turning to shit before my eyes.  It is so unpleasant.  I am so curious to know if anyone else is perceiving a difficult equinox.&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Does this happen to anyone else? I'm reserved with most people most of the time...but if I find someone I connect with, eventually the dam will break and i will come out with far too much personal info. I don't know how to find a middle ground. If it's reciprocated it's wonderful, but some people can't be that open, or are overwhelmed (understandably) and I end up feeling horribly rejected. &lt;/div&gt;

      <title>How do I get drop-ins to identify themselves?</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/a8b2d2f0-4603-4dd9-90d3-761816758d3c</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I often get astral visitation. 
&lt;br/&gt;The last one was three days ago. A male (I usually can tell the sex) that was powerful but rather on the dark side. 
&lt;br/&gt;It lingered for ten minutes at least. 
&lt;br/&gt;Very often it is by people that I do not know yet but recognise later. Not always however.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;How do I get their names or simply what they want? 
&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Empaths and numerology –  what is the likelihood of a common number?</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/ab699776-c53b-4ef1-a4b1-20dc291ac7f8</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;A book I read uses numerology (birth date) to present information such as tendencies, issues, and potentials of an individual. One of which I discovered for myself as being acutely sensitive to other people's emotions, as if they were my own. It was explained that a 3 on its own is to do with emotional sensitivity, but acute when the pair of numbers before adding for the final, are threes (33) My friend is also Empathic, and has the same 33 number.  So I am really curious to find out just what may be the percentage, or likelihood of people being a 33 in numerology. If the book interests you, I wrote a review in the Reviews sections in this Tribe.  Empathy is not a term used in the book, and is also a relatively new term for me.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Would you like to help ascertain if there is a common thread here with birth numerology numbers, by indicating what your two digit number is?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Please don’t put your birth date here, as I don’t think it is safe to put such information in a public place.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The way to arrive at the two digit number (and the final, which makes up 3 digits in total), is to write down your full date of birth, for example, say one was born 10 December 1970
&lt;br/&gt;Write down;   10           12              1970
&lt;br/&gt;Now add up all single digits. There are 8 digits in this example.  Essentially, anything greater than 9 is treated as 2 digits.  (eg 10th = 1 + 0, 11th = 1 +1)
&lt;br/&gt;                  1+0    +    1+2    +    1+9+7+0           =           2 1     
&lt;br/&gt;21 is then added again to arrive at 3, but is expressed as    2 1  ,  3  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Thanks
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Paul&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Healing touch???</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/791108f9-9d16-4173-9db3-81524cac11f5</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hi, all
&lt;br/&gt;         I am about to describe an incident that happened several weeks ago, that, quite frankely,  sorta scared me.  Ihave mentioned, in previous posts, the elderly lady that I was the care-giver for.  She is now permanently living in a nursing home because her Alzheimers became to much for her family to handle.  While in the nursing home, she injured her big toe on her right foot, and apparently the nursing home did not take quite as good of a care as they should haveof the injury.  The old lady is a brittle Diabetic, and wounds do not heal  very well on her, and the wound on her big toe turned into  a large diabetic ulcer, which in turn made red streaks run up her leg.  She was placed in a long term special care facility, for treatment and for rehab therapy.  On the first day that she was there, I decided to see if I could accomplish anything by visualization and concentration towards lessening the severety ov the wound. I placed one hand very lightly on her leg and visualized that her hot leg was getting almost icy cold and that the red streaks were getting light pink and receding back down into her foot.  I did that for about 5 minutes.  Guess what?  When I opened my eyes, the red streaks were back down to her foot and the leg was  almost cold to the touch.  As I said,, quite frankly, it scared me!!!!   I asked my friend who was there withme.. "Please tell me that what I think happened did not , in fact happen"
&lt;br/&gt;She said "Sorry , but it did happen"
&lt;br/&gt;       Has anybody else had an experience like this?  Can anyone give me the name of books tha might give me help on how to handle this?  I am seriouly freaked. 
&lt;br/&gt;                                                                            Re&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Has anyone seen this movie? I  notice that they have many types of powers represented in this film:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;thought projection
&lt;br/&gt;telekinesis
&lt;br/&gt;premonition
&lt;br/&gt;"shadowing" other powers
&lt;br/&gt;making someone bleed internally (yikes!)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Where are the empaths?? Conspicuously absent. Why? They leave the ending very open to a sequel...so I hope they bring in empaths if they make another one. &lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Marriage</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/2916f941-2a51-4c76-9c89-b70eb573865e</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;In this life, we learn many ideals that shape the eternal us. Who or what we choose to love &amp;amp; trust molds us by the contours of its definitions. We sometimes trust in a lover to complete us. Through that partnership we learn tremendous lessons about love, life, and who we are to become, discovering that it is what that person channels that we really love. Ultimately, we are married to the universe and our partners are simply the route by which we come to understand our personal connection with God. Some couples separate because of static coming between them, others because it was simply meant to be. But a true marriage is not measured just by an event that deems it so, but rather by an indestructable link that is formed by both partner's light fused together forever. Inside of that that link stands a garden that the universe will never forget. Those blended colors cannot fade from the halls of the library, for they are the candles of it's midst. Beyond (yet through) humans, its chapters draw us to a special place where we find, with or without a partner, that we are never alone and always of marriage in the bridal chamber as One.&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Talking of Ego's</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/f4e47468-7478-4066-8640-4b592dae5bff</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I have noticed there is often a reference to what ego is and on whether to 'kill' it etc and then fierce opposing views.  It is worth remembering that Buddha says we have to 'let go of the ego'. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Much has been written in psychology etc and it is from psychological point of view that there is a fear of loosing the ego and we will become soft and weak or something.  Nothing could be farther from the truth!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The ego is not a true part of who we are it is what we have learned to become, or to behave out of our fears mostly.  I tend to think of it as the the computer brain trying to be so 'clever'.  True sometimes it is or has been out of necessity to survive, but usually in the absence of any guidance or help, and out of desperation.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;A song "You have got to be taught to hate and fear, day after day - year after year.  It has got to be drummed in your dear little ear you have got to be carefully taught.  ANd its got ot be done before its to late, before you reach 5, 6, 7 or 8.  To hate all the people your relatives hate.  You have got to be carefully taught.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Would show one aspect of our ego driven selves quite well.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If you have a problem, your brain will throw up every concievable or possible solution and we can end up going round and round.  But clear your mind and maybe meditate and the answer will come quite clearly, from your own Inner Self or Higher Self.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Our ego's will often Justify why we should do this and so, and mostly its responses are learned and because it worked before we have a pattern of behaviour.  Patterns are hard to break, when they have taken a life time to re-inforce.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;And the biggest fight of all is the ego's threat to its existence. Then the biggest arguments will rear up.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Just think for one moment - you are having a hard time with someone - you fully intend to react differently to them to get on a better footing - you see yourself doing this, you know the reactions etc are silly and causing pain a difficulties.  THEN you meet them they say, something or you see they havent tidied up or something trivial.  And you react in the same old way and the same old arguements ensue.  After, you think what went wrong, this isnt who you want to be..............it isnt who you REALLY are????
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;And you are right its your ego, taking over.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I more recently learnt that the ego is connect to the 7 deadly sins!  Yes fundamentalism,  because some things are fundamentally true!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So if you look at your behaviour, you can see........ Pride............envy................anger etc  And I found you see even those little ones like, "aw I want one of those"  or why does he have all the luck  (resentment, anger)   They are rife.  And what is more important is they are often held up to be sought after as if a 'great' thing to be or have.  Just look at Celebs!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Danyi WAhoo of the Cherokee says in her book Voices of our Ancestors - To be a Peace Keeper and attain Peace Keeper mind does not mean you reamin all love and take  no actions.  It means to stand up and speak out against what is not "Right Action".  To be a Warrior!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Your true self - our True self cannot take action or do what is right unto 7 generations if we cannot hear it for all the noise of the ego's.  Being in two minds arguing with ourselves inan inner turmoil of thoughts.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I had a horrible dream - where I killed a redheaded women - with a potatoe peeler - I was upset because I have never had such a violent dream -- my book said this is great news - you are "killing off" that part of you you no longer need, the ego driven self!  That which must be 'killed' as in the 'base metal' before it can be turned into the 'Gold'!&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Just found about these on NOVA.
&lt;br/&gt;How much of role do you think they play with 'Full Tilt' empathy?
&lt;br/&gt;I dont have to see spmeone to feel a 'vibe', but it does enhance and increase my sensitivity and response.
&lt;br/&gt;Chime in!&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Need Hearing Aid</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/d523d294-5a74-4bb1-87d3-6e77246631c7</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;All my psychic senses seem to be working quite well except for one. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I have trouble hearing. 
&lt;br/&gt;I often connect with spirits and the spirit of living people but get mumblings and more mumblings and usually no clear words. 
&lt;br/&gt;Sometimes one word will be audible but the rest is garbled. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This is a slightly bit frustrating.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Do you have an idea how I could I improve my psychic hearing? &lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Enneagram and Empath</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/1dd6edf0-c38c-4386-8f3f-77677b7709dc</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hi all,
&lt;br/&gt;After taking numerous classes and sitting on panels, over the years,  I've found that I feel most comfortable around two particular Enneagram types - 9 and 5.  I am an enneagram 9 and an Empath and took a few tests and came out dead on for INFJ.  I was wondering if anyone else saw a connection between your enneagram type and being an Empath.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The biggest challenges I have are with  enneagram 8 and 3 (Both intense but an 8 is physically/energetically loud and 3's can be type A loud)  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The 5's are intellectual, quieter and not focused so much on emotion so for an INFJ/empath we don't pick up as much free floating emotionally-charged vibes from them.   
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;9's are usually too busy picking up everyone's stuff and repressing or creating calm (even if they are a basket case inside) that one usually feels calm around them.    
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;p.s. I also posted this on the INFJ site.&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Feeling Unsafe</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/cc2812ef-2a90-42d7-846a-f12296abba1b</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I am new to tribe and I must say how much I really appreciate this group. Being an empath I have felt very lonely most of my life, even in  situations of supposedly healing, or healing trainings I've been. In the family I was raised in I was always given the strong message that what I perceived (empathically) was NOT true and that is partly why I have a very hard time believing the conflicting messages inside me to what was being presented.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Also so many people saying things they don't mean and presenting themselves falsely, even though I know often they themselves are unaware. I've felt so weird in life and it helped a lot when I realized that my feelings could actually be feelings I was picking up from other people and that the impressions that were opposite of what people were saying might actually be hidden truth.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I feel very unsafe for the most part because many people in this culture seem to not really want to know the truth and people who come to be healed do not really want to be healed. I have had just as hard a time in the "alternative" cultures usually, people seem just as misrepresenting. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Even writing that I feel like I might be attacked somehow, or told that I am wrong. Anyone else relate to this at all? Maybe it is the fact that "critical" thinking is so prized, many people look out at the world from that perspective and I pick up on that, as if many people are poking at me with spears, trying to critically evaluate me, just a thought.&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Empaths Lies and Truth</title>
      <link>http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/37af2fe8-a5b7-4cff-b425-99ee1f8edda7</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;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.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;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.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;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.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;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.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;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.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;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.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;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.

&lt;br/&gt;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!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;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.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;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.
&lt;br/&gt;So this doesnt really help.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;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!
&lt;br/&gt;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.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;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.
&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
