hey guys

ive only recently reaslised that im an empath and have been close attention to my reactions etc.

ive realised that i can pick up emotions ant attitudes etc very strngly from photographs and songs. how do i stop this?

why do you want to?

That's a gift! You can do this though. As a medium I have to have down time and be a normal person so I have developed a way to let my spirits in and then send them home (when I'm not working). I'm not sure how this will work for you but I'll try.


Do a basic meditation.. in this visualize a door. When you open the door, your gifts of empath are in a mist on the other side. When you choose to use them you open the door and say "I am open to the light and I accept my gifts". When you are ready to be "normal" I say "Thank you for your help today, please enter the door and I will come and get you when I need you again." Close the door.


As an empath it is hard to "turn off" that because you read energy. Energy is ever constant. Try my protection bubbles and see if this helps block you.

I'd never want to stop it though. It is part of you. Not a disease or addiction. It would be like cutting off your hand.

hey pagan, i dont want to stop it forever. its just quite annoying experiencing all these emotions that arent mine all the time. all my life ive experienced feelings and emotions i just couldnt account for. sometimes i can hear a song on radio and feel the emotional state of the singer in the song. i can look at photos and do the same. last night i was looking at a friends wedding photos on f.b and could feel how she felt in them, which was the feeling of contentment and nervousness and happy to be married at such a young age as if it were my own feelings. i cant even tell what im feeling and what im pick up from others...

Understandable. Try what I suggested above. Something that may seem funny but when looking at photos (handling them) try wearing winter gloves lol. People may think your crazy at first but I think this may help until you can better get control. Also, ask your guides to please remove the emotions that do not belong to you. They will listen.

I like to use my little bubble of protection. I ask that I be surrounded by a shield of protection not only from negativity but also from picking up on energy that is being sent my direction (empathic emotions,etc)

It takes time during meditation to begin creating this bubble to suit your needs in the beginning but as time goes by you will get to the point where you quickly visualize it surrounding you before leaving the house. Mine takes a few seconds basically like putting my shoes on. This has helped me so that when I'm out and about in crowded places I don't get overwhelmed or tired,etc.

Second thing I like to do is when I begin noticing these emotions or feelings I simply ask "Do these belong to me"? I wait for a yes or no response. The first answer that comes to you is the correct one. If it's a no then stop what your doing and recognize what is happening then say a quick prayer for these things not to affect you anymore. You can also do a quick cleansing of body.

We have this gift for a reason and that is to better be able to connect with others and help them. It is tuff having this gift but remember it can still affect you without warning if your guide is telling you someone needs your help.

Something else that made it easier for me was while walking the mall I would sit down with my shield/bubble on. I would see a few people around and ask that my shield be removed so I can get a sense of each person....not a reading but learning to distinguish theirs from mine. If they were sad I would give them a smile and notice if they smiled back the emotions lessened. I would do this on occasion to help me determine and focus on myself and know better when it wasn't mine.

The more you distinguish yours from theirs it gets a little easier. Have fun with it and learn about yourself. This gift is to help you as well.

Hope this helps

Love and blessings

John Holland recommends a technique by visualizing your solar plexus chakra shrinking down in size and growing dimmer. According to him (and many others), the chakras serve to pick up psychic information. The center of clairsentience (clear feeling, empathic sensitivity) is the solar plexus chakra.

Another good tip. I also pull in my aura.. like a bubble around me. When I feel uncomfortable I shrink it.
