im an empath too just like my mother but mine is on a higher level than id like... i feel my friends emotions before they do as if they r mine.. and i know im not placing them there cuz im not thinkin of them at the time the emotion or the friend its very easy to not let it effect me and i can give others the feelings i have across the house... anyway is there a type of magick that fits into that category?
As a side note, those who are highly empathic usually develop clairvoyance (even on a small scale). Not everyone but I find it more likely. Like SilverVixen here. :)
well just like vixen here the same with me as well , emapathy, clairvoyance , clairsentience etc.
empathy is a spiritual gift that is commonly attained by many people, i do agree that you need to protect your self from others emotions etc but learning to deal with it you lessen reasons to shield unless you are being emotionally attacked. One should try to expand and develop their empathy in order to gain better control from being influenced by emotions etc
I'm an empath and i hate it because people always come to me with problems looking for help and i HAVE to help them because, well, im an empath so i know exactly how they feel (ugh) and i have enough to deal with at this time in my life without other peoples problems. Also, i usually get depressed or silly emotions the most so i look like a bipolar weirdo at school O_o also, it gives me major headaches.
Oh, i was born an empath and i don't know how to get rid of if or if i even want to get rid of it because i do like helping people, i just can't right now and i know its my path in life to help others.... basically i have mixed feelings about my gift/curse/talent. Watever you want to call it.
empathy is not curse never has been nor will it be, its just difficult when it you don't have a good control over it, i advise you start working on the chakras and you will see an improvement with your empathy once you practice learning how fine tune and filter emotions so all don't come at you at once, you can even learn how to over power the other emotions with your own.
yea, ive been working on it and im fairly good at sheilding out the emotions but when im sick (which is oddly quite often) i lose control in random places so yea,not very good.
I recently accnolaged I am an empath. At times I'll feel sad or happy and just not know why. I was reading these articles, because I heard of Empathy and I wanted to know more. I've always been able to realy feel what's going on around me.
I'm an empath and find it a great experience. It's nice to understand how other people are feeling and can prevent arguments with loved ones. It's how I understand my closest friend who doesn't enjoy sharing her emotions often. But she doesn't need to tell me because I can already feel them myself. Sometimes it's hard when you're around someone you're close to and they have negative energy though because it can put you in a very negative mood yourself. But other than that I find it a positive experience once you learn to control it. I don't know how to "become" one though because I've been this way since I was little and never really learned. I just went along with it as my skills developed on their own.
