Hi, Thank you for your posts, friends. Quite an interresting thread here and, one I can relate to 100 per cent. Good comments too! I am totally empath; have been all my life.
I may even sense not only feelings but also very precise thoughts coming from people. Along the years, I learnt to keep discreet and not to listen. In that sense I feel connected with everything and everyone around me, with the wholeness of life in its infinite intricate depths and connections. I am thus never separated from anything or anyone ever. This allows me to be a healer at all time, that is if the people around me accept my balanced bouncing back energy which I automatically send back into the equation of the data I receive. It is not a thinking process, more a natural automated one as a gift would be.
I never experience separation (or fear); I would term my closest experience of such, as 'respect for all life and free will and differences and a kind of awe I always feel when sensing the wonders of the richness of diversity in people and other forms of life and light.' I see life as a wonderful assembly of pieces of a puzzle put together to perfection at all time, to venture a definition, for each life and direction of the light has a clear definition of its own and has a function to accomplish.
I think that it is perfectly fine to feel and sense all these emotions around; I do not feel the need to be so much 'protected' and 'separated' from it. After all we are each and all; we are the sorrows around, the joice of every corner and above all, the love which lives in every thing and when I say 'every thing', I really mean that.
We are in these deep waters of atmosphere on Earth together as the human family - linked with the horizontal energies which are the others in three Density life and, verticaly connected with ALL densities from 1D, minerals, plants, animals to 8th Density and probably, I dare say to the octave above which is the Earth and the planets of our solar system. I can feel the whole connection at all time. It is often overwhelming and, sensations of illness occur often. I sense the toxicity of the Earth in my body and, when I am physicaly in front of someone in pain, I may sense the pain in my body. However, these are not illnesses but rather the gathered impressions arriving all the time and, having to be delt with on a constant manner. These bring me wonderful opportunities to heal others with the simple awareness bouncing back in a natural not intended manner, very close to the way in which the water always balances its level.
Often, people 'see' me the way they are themselves and not the way I am. It is true for everyone but far stronger and more definite for empath. People with certain problems 'see' their own problems very strongly in me. I know why that is so. Actually that occurs at the exact moment when I receive the 'info/feeling/thoughts' from a person in front of me and, that person would look at me and see their own image. But I know who I am. As an empath, I am one!
My deep self is as joyful and peaceful as a clear river, as colorful as a rainbow, as enthousiastic as a singing bird, as strong as the sea, as infinite as the universe and, I breath these out at every instant, I give these back all the time without people even noticing it. For me, this is the true nature of the STO work; there is nothing to do forcibly to try to be STO; when STO, we are just STO by our own nature.
Because of being an empath, I am often ill in the presence of unclear people or people negatively orientated or not polarized yet. I sense punches in my stomac whenever I am around badly intentioned people or if I enter a room where something had happened. Through the years, I developped serious stomac problems on account of this and still have not fully recovered my third chakra activity and healed this ailment for after a lifetime in this crazy world, i am struggling to eat on account of severe and extented so called 'food-allergies' that the repetition of the punches have created.
Recently, I have been unable to step outside the house at all for as soon as I find myself in the street or in a room with people, my muscles would give way and I would collapse onto the floor or the tarmacadam, unable to get up or to even move, my muscles totally weakened. This happens in kinesiology when doing an arm test and, the arm tests 'weak' when faced with a question which requires a 'no' as an answer. So, in short, I collapse because people around me are having the wrong thoughts, so to say. I never collapse on my own or when I am with friends. That says a lot! There is a quantum aspect to this, of course; this being only a scientific way of explaining the 'non-separate' world energy field.
There is so much to say about this empath thing. I would like to say that it is rather a good thing. After all empathy expands the awareness of everything, immensly. I also would like to advise not to get into the habit of wanting it to 'go away', it is too good a gift! Rather, I would suggest other empaths out there, to reinforce their own electromagnetic field. Doing so will reinforce also the chakra system. I spent my whole life looking for solutions on my own and I found several on my path. There exist breathing exercises, Tai Chi practices, Qi gong, etc.
Do not give up such beautiful gift!
There is so much more to say but this is already a long post.
Do not hesitate to ask me questions about it; I 'll answer with great pleasure and heart.
Keep well friends,
