sensitivity and feeling other's emotions

Gracey

> I am very very sensitive...many times I feel people's emotions when I look at them.

You're an empath!!! Very Cool! So am I, and it *can* be hard not to get "sucked in." If I'm not careful, I can "pick up" on other people's bad moods or emotional problems and carry all that gunk around with me. Ughh!

What helps me is visualization. It helps to learn to meditate first. It can sound silly, but it works!

Basically, before leaving your house, imagine a glowing white light. "See" that light grown bigger, until it's the same size as you, then step into the light and "see" it surround you. While you're visualizing the light, repeat, over and over, something to yourself like "light passes through, dark stays out" or "positive flows, negative goes", just anything along those lines, even "angels watch over me" or "God walks with me" - whatever works for *you*. Once you "see" the light surrounding you in your mind's eye, tell yourself that this light will surround you all day.

At this point, you don't need to actively "see" the light anymore, just know it's there and go about your daily business. If you feel other people's emotions "breaking in", simply take a few mintes and repeat the process.

At first, I'd need to step into a bathroom or someplace to "relight" myself, however, it gets easier the more you do it. I can now "throw up" a light shield standing in line at the grocery or wherever. It really does work! =)

If you want more info on meditating or visualizing, post your email and I'll send you some research I've done that really helped me understand it all in plain, everyday language. =)
