This may seem like a strange question...

but have any of you experience dealing with bad energy from spirits/ghosts?

Hello. What are your thoughts please. [27 Nov 2011|12:18pm]

Hello. I'm new to this site and the concpt of empathy. From what I understand empthy is based in future telling dreams and spirits, right? I'm asking because I would like your thoughts on some things. See, many members of my father's family (myself included) have had dreams that have come true at a latter date. My father dreamed of my grandfather dieing a few years before it happened, and my dreams have mostly been school related. Things like taking a math test with a boy from my class or a conversation with my friends or a certain event. The thing is that for myself and all of my family, these dreams stopped when we all were around 10. The only exception is a great aunt who had a lot of behaviors/symptons of "ESP", but because this was the 1930's she was put into a mental insatuation, and as nobody ever talked about her I don't know for certain weather or not she truly was meantly ill. Do you think that I and my family could have possesed empathy or whatever at one point, or was this just a natural occurance? Why did it stop?

Another thing is my dreams. Normally my dreams are really strange and not worth mentioning. Every once in a while however, I have a dream in which someone is knocking at my bedroom door or I will hear a female voice calling my name and telling my that it is time to wake up. The really strange part is not only do I instantly wake when I hear the knocking or the voice, but the time is always my ushal wake up time. Could these dreams simply be my body's internal clock activating, or could the voices and the knocking belong to a spirit? Because the voices are female, I am inclinded to think that they may belong to one of my grandmother's, both of whom have passed away within the past six years. I also think that this may be likley becuase I have seen and heard spirits my whole life, most fequantly while in the house that I am living in now, which belonged to one of my grandmother's. What do you think?

Reaccuring Song Question [07 Nov 2011|11:32pm]

[ mood | confused ]

Okay, so a while back I kept hearing this one song called "Hey Soul Sister" by Train. And I mean I just kept hearing it. Especially on commercials. And whenever I'd hear it, I'd go, "Hey, Mom, that's the song I keep hearing!" and she would go, "What?" like she didn't even hear it. So obviously it was meant for me. The only problem was I didn't know what lesson I was supposed to learn. I didn't understand. I looked up the lyrics and it had no relevence whatsoever to my life yet I heard it over and over again. Then it appeared on The Sing Off.... I'm not quite sure when it stopped but it took me a while to figure out that I wasn't hearing it constantly anymore, but I just assumed I'd learned or preceived whatever it was something out there wanted me to preceive. What's funny was, though, is I knew the song and the artist but I never bought it until after I had stopped hearing constantly.

So now I keep hearing another song, "If I Die Young" by the Perry Band (or close enough). The first time I heard this one was when my brother started singing it one day. And I asked him what he was singing, of course he didn't know because he doesn't think it's very important to remember any of the names but he knew the first part of the lyrics (I would later find out he'd heard it on the radio). Then one of my classmates starts to sing a little while after (and my brother can't stop singing it now). And today the same kid from class starts singing it again! And guess what was on tonight? The Sing Off, and guess what one of the songs were? "If I Die Young".

So, I guess my question to you guys is, how would you interperate this? Everything happens for a reason and I just can't seem to figure out this reason. I've looked over the lyrics but seeing how it doesn't apply to my life at all, that I know of, I don't understand what message is trying to get across to me. So, I'm seeking a new perspective. Thoughts? Comments? Advice? Anything would be nice. But again I'd like to tell you nothing too depressing (even though the song itself is kind of depressing) otherwise you'll freak me out and I've got enought stess. I don't need to be worrying about this to. I just need some refreshing perspective from a new person, that I don't know, you know?

Thanks for listening. And thanks in advance. I appreciate it!

Thoughts on reincarnation & past life regression [13 Oct 2011|04:07pm]

[ mood | curious ]

For those of you who believe in reincarnation: Do you think the fact you are an empath plays into your previous lives? What are your thoughts on this? Have any of you had past life regression? If so, what did you learn that connected you with being an empath in this life? Just some things I've been thinking about lately :)

Okay so, this weird occurance has happened to me twice in about four days.

The first time I had just woken up from a dream at 5:30 because of a loud, continous calp of thunder. And it was long. Like, 30 seconds to a minute long. Then, these dark clouds rolled over my window at super speeds, totally blocking out all light. I laid there for a few seconds thinking I'd see a flash of lightning or hear another clap of thunder. But it wasn't even raining. And the weird clouds hadn't blocked out any light because it was 5:30 am, the moon wasn't out and the sun hadn't risen.

I know for a fact I was wide awake. It was 5:33 when this all ended.

Then, today I was doing hkmework, I hadn't looked at the clock this time, but my guess was probably around 1 or 2 pm, I hear another loud, long clap of thunder. No rain, no lightning, no more thunder. Just like last time! It was so strange. And when I went out to look there were patches of blue sky. Granted I had rained earlier but we rarely get thunderstorms up here and again, nothing followed it. It was just that single clap
of thunder and then, nothing!

I'd appreciate any insights on why this is happening or what it could mean. But please, I'd be grateful if you kept is a little light. Like you can tell me it might mean I have some struggles coming my way, but if it gets scary or ominous... It's just the self-fulfilling prophecy and all. If it's scary/ominous I'll end up thinking about it or worrying about constantly and I might just conjur it up... so. I'd be awefully grateful if you left it at, I might just be facing some hard times for a little bit.

Thanks for your time and thoughts!

Whispered Name [19 Sep 2011|11:05am]

greenthumbmama
For two nights now, I've woken up hearing my name whispered. I am not totally sure if it's coming from my dream or not.....This might sound weird, but I'm not totally convinced that spirits live among us. You'd think I'd be sure being an empath, but I've never seen or felt them ever and I'm fighting with old religious upbringing in my head. So for me to think that something...someone...might be whispering in my ear while I sleep is kind of frightening. So I'm thinking it's in my dreams. But what do you make of it? My name being whispered? It wakes me up cold out of sleep. I open my eyes like I need to answer the person, then I realize I'm sleeping.

Dreams and Interpretations [16 Sep 2011|07:55pm]

greenthumbmama
Hi everyone...I'm new here to this community.

I am an empath. I have dreams that are prophetic in nature. I am working my way through the training from the Book Of Storms. I had several dreams last night. None of them seemed very interesting or worth interpreting...in my opinion. HOWEVER...Several times last night, I heard the phone ringing. I would say probably 4 times last night, in my sleep, I heard the phone ringing. Once, I woke up my husband asking him if he heard the phone. He didn't. When I got up this morning, I went to look at the caller id...no one. Not one call during the night. So I looked up the interpretation of a phone ringing in your dreams and it said that there is a message trying to get through to me that I'm not getting. I'm strugging to figure it out. I have spent the entire day trying to recall my dreams for last night and over the past several days. I simply don't know how to deal with this. I am very sensitive and I believe my dreams having meaning because many of them have come true....but the phone ringing? What could my subconscious possibly be saying?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am at a total loss. Thanks ahead of time.

Some Important Questions [25 Aug 2011|05:38pm]

[ mood | hopeful ]

I've been doing a lot of soul searching lately, and a whole lot more research, and practicing and testing of my own empathic and psychic abilities. But mostly research, which thus far has equated to me watching a great number of documentaries that deal with empaths, psychics, occultism, and tons of other forms and off shoots that equally deal with those topics. While there are many skeptics, at least half of all the stuff I have found has proven skeptical. The other half seems to definitely support the existence of empaths/psychics and components of extra sensory perception. While watching some of these documentaries, I had ran into the tale of "Edgar Cayce" who apparently, aside from being one of the best prophets/empathy/healers/hypnotist/regression therapists ever, started a foundation called the "Association for Research and Enlightenment", which holds all of his archives and a host of other stuff. The following link leads to thier web site, http://www.edgarcayce.org/ Whats more, the man actually founded a university in 1930 as well, "Atlantic University", which is as far as I know the only college or university in existence for psychics, empaths, or any other similar group. Aside form the obvious military ones. So my question is this, do any of you know of any other colleges, universities, or groups which offer courses and classes specifically for empaths/psychics, and those with any form of extra sensory perception? Not to insult anyone's intelligence here, but, just thought it should be known that in academia, the realm of e.s.p. is commonly referred to parapsychology, or in worse instances, the occult. Oddly enough, in most of the research I've been doing, I am finding more information about those with e.s.p when the documentary is about the occult, or magic, or secret stuff etc...anyone else have any info on this? Of course obviously, I havn't even begun to hit the books yet. One last question, how many of you who read this are women, how many are men, what are your thoughts on reproduction and its importance among those who are empathic, psychic, or possessive of any form of e.s.p.? Feel free to message me your answers if need be.

[ mood | gloomy ]

Hey so... a lot has happened and I just need opinions. So first at the freshmen orientation I was EXTREMELY happy to see all my friends together again... so happy in fact that I tackle hugged my friend to the floor in the middle of a walk way... now I don't know if I like.... I don't know... "absorbed" all the happiness in the room so i became overwhelmed... or i was just being a idiot... it was probably me being a idiot. Second, Both my neighbors have been in the hospital. The one is a really good friend of mine and the other is like a second mom to me. well my mom and I went over to the one that's like a mom to me's house to clean and right after entering I felt tired and sad and I don't know if I was being drained... I have no clue. And last, I had a horrible time sleeping last night, I kept waking up in the middle of the night... which is strange for me right now because I always come home exhausted from field hockey try-outs. Well i wake up this morning to find out that my other neighbor died... is there a connection that I couldn't sleep the night he died? I honestly don't know at the moment.

[ mood | anxious ]

Hi... I umm... just recently learned that i am a empath and well... i want to learn how to control this and make it stronger so i can help people. Alot of people in my life need me to help them and i want to be there for them and to do my best. So i was wondering if anybody new anything that could help me? At first for awhile i thought i was a physic (or however you spell it) but i just recently... more like about a hour ago discovered that I'm a empath and reading things about empaths scared me. All that energy draining stuff made me get scared that i was hurting people by being a empath. I find that whenever I'm anywhere near a person i take on their emotions. even if i don't know them. I could just pass a complete stranger in the hall and feel their emotions and know about them. I always thought i was weird and i spent the whole beginning of last year (8th grade) feeling like i didn't fit in. Like i wasn't "normal". Its just a lot to take in and i was wondering if anyone could teach me and help me to control this for the better? That would help me so much because well... this kind-of scares me and... i want to embrace it. And sorry if this isn't how this entry stuff works... i just made a account to this site like a half hour ago so I'm still trying to get the hang of it =__=" thank you!

Yesterday I was speaking with someone I only see about once a month. Since the last time I'd talked to him, he'd injured himself pretty badly while playing baseball. We talked about it for awhile. He had a good sense of humor about the whole thing. I wasn't consciously thinking about it but I wasn't really picking up any discomfort while he was talking to me (which is fine with me since broken bones don't feel good). It wasn't until about a half hour after the left that I suddenly got really sharp rib pain. The fact that it was delayed like that is weird. Usually it either comes through when I'm talking to a person or it doesn't come through at all. I wonder what made the feeling come through later?

Hi [02 Feb 2011|07:19pm]

bandearg_rois
I'm new to the comm, I'm 23, female, and I've known i was an empath since I was 16, the same time that I really got into Wicca. I was wondering if anyone has ever used stones like magnetite or hematite to help with shielding. I have a necklace made out of it that helps in large crowds or drunk gatherings, but I've found that if I wear it to sleep, I have really weird, sometimes bad, dreams.

Does anyone know how to combat that besides me taking my necklace off and taking my chances?

the above is a link to a real four pont personality test that was developed some time ago.
my personality type is INFJ,
i was wondering what others here are.
more spicificaly, are empathic/psychic types more likely to be INFJ then other types and the general population ( as segested )
->not that it would take much
A.
addition.
I' taken this test a lot and in other forms and have always scored strong INFJ.
there is only one person in the world I have ever alowed close enough that they can effect me from any place, as they have an lj and it did not go well I wont refrance them.
I have found that I am able to read people over the phone or internet when they are on - via a shared room tipe thing.

Greetings to my fellows... [09 Dec 2010|10:19am]

I have kind of a question, but also a story to share about how important we are. We may see our empathy as a curse, but something happened last night that made me realize how vital we are.

I'm currently studying abroad in London (leaving tomorrow). As you can imagine there's been so much we've had to do, so we've been very busy, especially with final exams and everything. I've been picking up a lot of stress resonance, but I've just kinda written it off and moved. But last night, we were walking home from a show (something we had to do for a class) when something unexpected happened.

There's this girl in our group who suffers from a whole cocktail of anxieties. Last night, she had a full blown panic attack and I was the only one there. I don't know how or why, but she calmed down really quickly as soon as I held her and got her to sit down. There was so much raw emotional energy, but it didn't irritate me like it usually does.

My question to you is: does this sort of thing happen to other empaths? Is it something to do with the sheer raw emotion or is there something else at work here?

I'd really appreciate any advice you guys can give! I'm still really new at this and kind of testing my limits (as it were).

hello everyone. my question is very brief and I apologise if this has been asked before in different terms:

I just want to know how you manage your empathy in relationships. I actually left a relationship almost 6 months ago partly because my empathy could not support the amount of difficult emotion that I was having to transform for the other person and I am starting to see that this may be a repeating pattern at the moment.

what do you do? creating powerful boundaries with someone who you are intimate with seems nearly impossible.

do you try to transform the emotion and carry on?

thanks.

Question [30 Oct 2010|12:50pm]

drwho131
[ mood | sick ]

I have a question that i find interesting and every time i want to ask someone about it i get distracted.

I have taken several of these are you psychic tests online and score abnormally low on average to me. I know these tests are dreadfully wrong just from my life experiences.

I know what most people are going through just from a few words in there txts or online, i get feelings that certain people need me at times and im almost never wrong. just yesterday i reached out to someone i had not spoken to in almost a year, turns out shes stressed and questioning herself, she just needed someone to vent to and give her hope. oddly enough she was not surprised i showed up when i did lol.

back to my question though, i take these tests and im always low but if im distracted or not really focusing on things i seems to always pick the thing i need. for example wheni come in to work in the morning if the elevator is not there yet ill walk over to one (out of 5) and look at the light and 9 out of 10 times thats the next one that shows up, if im very relaxed as a game i will choose the next 3 elevators to show up and the order more than half the time the 3 i pic show up and in the order i see them coming in. sometimes just to make sure i am not just choosing the one that happened t be there ill ecen touch the door of the one i want to open next and again if im doing it out of play or not really serious im right. if i try to force it though im almost always 100% wrong.

and ideas or suggestions?
