Chelsea, thanks so much for the boost of confidence. But even since this post I have learned so much and actually feel a confidence in my abilities I didn't have before.

sometimes, I also hear these voices it started only when I was laying down to sleep. But I started medatating and it would occasionally come through then. Now once in awhile I can get myself into that mindset. These voices are still very faint, but I write the enitre thing down. Sometimes though it is very confusing, because it will onetime be clearly someonelses voice, other times I think it sounds like my own. Not sure what this is, or if I helped any.

tailfreemonkeyboy,
I am also empathic, I think you should read my posts we have some very similar abilities... As I was reading your experience I noticed several things I haven't even spoken about. I love animals, and I connect with them very well. What I do tho to avoid attaching and connecting with everything is shielding/psychic shielding. You should research it, it has helped me alot. Let me know if you have any questions...

ecas101,
Firstly you should check out my stories, I believe we are very similar. And there is actually a thing called shielding. I think it is different for everyone else. But what I like to do is sit in a calm, quiet environment. I hold my hands about 12 inches apart and concentrate on sending energy out from my hands (sounds hard but once you feel it you will understand what I'm talking about). It will start off like a ball that you can actually feel the tension between them... Just concentrate... I just let this energy build and build until I am completley surrounded. I then imagine this energy as a white light, and youd be suprised how much this psychic shield works. It will not stop your gift from working, mine allows me more control actually. It allows me to send out my energy to sense another. If you have any questions feel free to ask me... Oh and also document your experiences so that you can go back and reflect on them see how they make you feel... This is also another excercise I use to enhance my gifts. If you have any other questions feel free to ask... And id suggest again to check out my posts...

psionic has hit the nail on the head. In order to make your abilities stronger you must protect yourself. I know it may sound a bit monotonious (horribly spelled) You will see. This may be even wierder but when I do put up this shield I was speaking about earlier... I have more control over where my energy goes... When using the shield I can limit myself to just reading one person, and I get a much clearer reading... So by doing such a simple process of shielding... I helped my abilities improve, and my use of them... And like everything practice makes perfect.

chickenkikker,
I am glad the shielding worked... I'm not sure if this makes you more "visible" to the spiritual plane though. I use it as a daily excercise to expell all bad feelings and keep the good... Good luck with everything.

justakid,
I am an empath, I have always been. Just recently though is when I figured out what exactly I was. You see, those feelings of anxiety, fear, or sickness when you are in a large group of people, is just the pressure of everyones energy on you. What I found to do, kind of subconciously, but it is an actual way of dealing is called shielding. Do some research, and play around with it a little make it your own. I personally like to sit down in a calm environment. I use my hands until I feel an energy ball inside them... Well I just focus on this ball and make it large enought to go around my entire body... If you focus enough you can physically feel this energy encompass your body... This technique should help keep out all that pressure, and it will excercise your psychic ability as well... If you have any questions feel free to ask... Sorry this was so long...

thank you all for the great comments,

Amber121, since I am new to this whole thing, I really shouldnt be giving advice. But what helps me the most is to relax, and not try and force anything. I document any experience I have, so that I can look back on it. As well with the anxiety in crowded places try shielding. Very helpful excercise and I find it very relaxing.

Hidden_girl, I'm glad my story has helped... That's why I post, because each thing we read or share helps us grow. So I believe that is what this site is for, to help each other.

Winter_lily, I completley understand what you are talking about. If I have a friend/family member that is stressed or angry. I do exactly what your doing. I feel there energies and influence them to change. Immediatly following the exchange of energy they usually start feeling better, but for some reason I usually take on this emotion for a short period of time, I am getting better however at controlling that.

Be-my-tri14, I understand where you are coming from. But I do not believe that empathy is only limited to physical feeling. I believe there are different levels or stages. Mine for instance has always been emotion, and is just starting to lead into physical feelings. But while I am just going into physical feelings, the emotion has gotten stronger and I can influence others etc as you can see from my posting. And as far as your posting goes, I am not sure of any advice, that situation is something I have never come across with. But please try and post the experience and you can get more on the topic readers.

oracle,
Thank you so much on the advise you gave me about contacting my guides. This site and all the people you have reached out to help are grateful. Its people like you, who reach out a helping hand that give people like me some hope. Thanks again.

oracle, that was so enlightening (probably spelled wrong) You are a real asset to this site, and everyone that you help. I will take your advise to further myself and my gifts. Once again thanks.

I am very new to this whole thing, but from your story I do believe you are feeling and experiencing the very same thing they are. It is most likely the sudden psychic energy they are sending out at that time. I was having some real issues with picking things up from people, I would get horribly angry for no reason, or happy, or depressed. That's when I caught on to the whole empathic thing. Well I would suggest to research "shielding/ psychic shielding" I have and it has done wonders. I was doing it subconciously when I was picking up someone strong, but now that I practice the shielding it works wonders. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

dreamgurl, thanks so much for your comment. It let's me know I'm not the only one. Well as far as fairly advanced, I'm not sure. You see these abilities I have always had but presumed it to be normal. So I never tried to take things further, the stage I'm at now is how I can remember things always being. I would like to learn how to improve. Also I read your profile, and noted that you can control wind. This may be off topic but when I'm around fire I feel at ease. I feel a connection with it, I don't think I can control it, I have tried with like a candle but I really think there is something there... If you have any suggestions please let me know. Oh p.s you also mentioned something about scorpios that I found intriguing if you could enlighten me a little bit I would be very appreciative.

grant, it is defintley good to hear from someone like myself. I'm glad you read my entries. And I totally agree, once we come to terms with the abilites that we have and see other succesful people living with these abilites, its easier... I literally have had dozens of experiences I have noticed, just since joining this website... And wouldn't have seen these and just brushed them off before. If you need someone to talk to... Just let me know

grant,
I am also very new to this whole thing. But what intrigued me about your story was the hands. I posted a story on here maybe you should read it and see if we are similar. But sometimes I feel this energy between my hands and I concentrate on it. Sometimes I can put so much energy into it, I can actually see it and feel it. Dont know what it is, but sometimes I just get creative and try and make one. Very interesting.

chickenkikker,
You are probably an empath. What you need to do is called "shielding". I actually learned about it on this site. Imagine a wall of energy around you. You may be subconciously doing it like I was, but you need to learn how to control this. Play with your empathy and concentrate. And most of all keep a journal documenting your experiences. I hope this helps you, I'm still new to this whole thing, read my story it may help to see that others are like you. Oh and the reaction from the baby may be so intense because crying is there only form of communication and as we are young we are all have psychic ability. Babies may send out a more intense energy of emotion effecting you more than it would someone not empathic.

oracle,
Thanks for the comment, id love your help on how to contact my guides and am wondering if I can figure out what my actual gifts are.

oracle,
Thanks for the comment, id love your help on how to contact my guides and hone in on these abilites I was gifted with.

curious,
I have a similar experiences. The one that stands out most is as a child. My mother is very religious and as a result we were made to go to church every sunday. Well I was so bored, never being quite religious myself. I used to concentrate on different parishoners (probably spelled wrong) and try and make them look towards me. I'm not entirely sure why I did this but it became like a game I could play without my mother thinking I wasn't paying attention. The people I would choose would be from all over the church from the front, the back, a couple pues in front. Well I can't do it much today. But I have descovered I'm a bit of an empath. And I really believe from several experiences that I can feel emotions and sometimes even thoughts from other people through there energy, and I can push my own energy onto them. Which I have concluded though it may be wrong is why I was able to get so many people to glance at me in church. If this helps I'm glad. If not and you have any comments please read my story and let me know if its similar.

you know I knew nothing about this psychic shield but if someone negative was around and it got to overwhelming, I would actually do it without even knowing. I would almost surround myself with energy as to not be effected by them, or even if someone was coming across to strong I would put this barrier. Guess I was shielding subconciously.

kazm, I also have strong empathic abilities. I have known about them my whole life but have more recently been interested in learning about them. I find it easier if I don't try and let it come naturally. Alot of times when no one is looking I like to feel out there energy, sounds kind of kooky, but its very enlightening. I like to test myself, and sometimes it is so clear I can tell the thoughts of someone or even crave the foods that they are craving. So the more practice you get, the better. Empathy from what I have researched can lead into some powerful things if mastered. Please read my story and see if you have any similarities, its nice to see that there are others like myself.
