EMPATHIC - This page describes a bit about what it means to be Empathic. Here you can find information on how to determine if you are in fact Empathic, and also how to harness this gift as well as protect it.
Definition of Empathy - the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another of either the past or present without having the feelings, thoughts, and experience fully communicated in an objectively explicit manner; also : the capacity for this...
Everyone is Empathic to some degree...People who are truly Empathic, (where it is adversely effecting their daily live's) generally experience excessive emotion, even though they have no personal foundation or life connection to it. What this means is that the Empath has emotions that often don't make sense. The Empathic is picking up the feelings and emotions of others, or of the wider community...Some are so sensitive, and "attuned" to reading emotion that they suffer the pain & sorrows of the entire human race!
The Empath is like a sponge...a sponge that cannot stop absorbing emotional energy from others around them. This is usually entirely overwhelming -causing severe difficulties in their daily lives.
Often, people who are Empathic do not even realize that this is what is happening to them. They believe &/or are told that they are just chronically depressed...or "over sensitive!" Usually, Empathic's also have a corresponding intuitive ability that they ignore, disregard or HIDE!
If you, or someone you know, feels that they are continually overwhelmed by unexplained emotion or feel that they "know" and feel the emotions of others, as if it were their own emotion - then there is a great chance that this person is Empathic. The sponge phenomena often also transfers physically - an example of this is; entering the presence of another person and feeling a stomach ache so intensely that you believe something is wrong with your stomach.. only to find, that the person who's presence you have come into, is unwell with a stomach flu or stomach illness.
Learning to stop others emotions, from overwhelming the self, is the first task the Empathic must undertake.
This can be done quite simply - firstly, acknowledge that this may be what is happening to you. Then, purchase a natural clear quarts single terminated crystal (pictured above) This will specifically be used for protecting your emotional energy body. At first purchase a small quartz point that can be carried on your body, comfortably, at all times. Find a quiet safe space (bedroom is usually ideal) hold the point cupped within your hands and ask, with intent, that the crystal "please surround & protect my energy body from other's energy and emotion." Visualize the crystals energy (which you will feel emanating from the quartz, after all you are Empathic!) surrounding you like a big bubble of glowing light energy. Carry the stone on you at all times.
Eventually it is recommended that you use larger quartz in and around your living area and that you endeavor to take an energy class specifically geared toward understanding the energy body. It is also helpful to research about and try to contact other Empaths.
