Increasing Sensitivity to Energy

My husband and I went to the mall last week. It was the first time I had been in this kind of public setting since last November. As we walked along, I noticed that I could feel energy shifts as if there were pockets or "cold" spots. Not that the temperature changed but that the energy shifted as I passed by people and different stores. Some areas felt denser or darker than others.

There are kiosks in the mall corridors and the vendors will call out to passersby trying to put a hard sell on people. I said "no thank you" or ignored them because I know from experience that if I even make eye contact with them I will not be able to get away without having to be rude or buying something. One vendor muttered some hateful comment when we did not respond to her effort to lure us in. My husband and I both felt the psychic attack she sent out. We stopped to clear our fields as soon as we got to the next store.

I am blessed to be able to spend a lot of time in "temple" space at home. Much of the day I am writing, praying, meditating, communing with nature, interacting with my guides, holding space for those I am coaching, and sending light to my family and friends who have to go out and work a "real" job. Naturally, the vibration of our house is so peaceful and pleasant that nearly every person who comes to visit comments about it.

Humans can move in and out of various vibrations or octaves, many times without actually noticing the shift. Those who are energy sensitive can detect these changes more readily than someone who is not consciously making an effort toward self improvement.

I believe a space takes on the energy created by the vibration of the souls that spend time there. A workplace or public venue may exist in a state of lower vibration due to people's negative thoughts, beliefs, habits, attitudes, and behavior. When a soul carrying a lot of light enters an area, it can shift the vibration of that space into a higher octave. You've likely met people who seem to be able to "light up a room" when they walk in. The conversation changes, attitudes shift, the gossip stops, etc.

Because we are all energetically connected, the vibration of an entire place can be affected (positively or negatively) by the energy of one person. This is why many empaths feel like they are in a war zone or being drained when in public, at work, or around certain people.

Light language can be particularly useful in these situations. The language of light is the soul's way of communicating directly with source. For more information about light language and the book I am writing in the topic, please visit http://weare1inspirit.com/light-language.

What Kind of Empath Are You?

By Ronni Ann Hall

Are you an empath? You know you are sensitive and your strongest psychic sense is in feeling. For fun, take the quiz to find out which kind you are.

Circle in your head or write down which applies.

1. You come down with a sudden, horrible stomach ache. Logical mind says it was a bad lunch or the flu going around, but then your dog enters the room and pukes on the carpet. She looks a little green around the edges. (physical or animal empath)

2. While shopping at the nearby Walmart, you enter the frozen food section and want to burst out into tears. You feel overwhelming, deep sadness and loneliness. (emotional empath or allergy to poorly designed boxed foods)

3. While relaxing on the couch you suddenly hear words come from your dog, "I want to go for a walk now." (animal empath or the result of smoking too many mushrooms)

4. Sitting in the backyard you feel a wave of joy come over you and a sense of peace, and you have an urge to smell the rose bush (nature empath, or the mushrooms are still doing their stuff from the day before)

5. You feel down and angry when two minutes before you felt peaceful. Your closest friend then calls and says he is feeling down and angry. (emotional empath or you just shopped at a crowded Walmart)

6. Two days before a major earthquake hits another country you have nightmares of earthquakes, anxiety or feelings of doom (mission empath or watching too many movies before bed)

7. You know that one fern plant needs more water and to be placed in a sunnier window (nature empath or you've read a lot of books on houseplants)

8. You receive strong messages or channelings that will help the world regarding self-esteem (mission empath or still feel the effects of the mushrooms)

9. You enter a hospital and feel fear, sadness, anxiety. You walk by one room and feel a pain in your side (physical empath or fear of hospitals)

If you circled one or more for nature empath: NATURE EMPATH you're tuned into the Nature Spirits and Fairies. You would excel at healing with Nature.

If you circled one or more for emotional empath: EMOTIONAL EMPATH you're tuned into the emotions of others. You just need to work on finding good tools and even better boundaries to take advantage of this gift.

If you circled one or more for physical empath: PHYSICAL EMPATH you're tuned into the physical ailments of others. You will just need to discern how to get rid of the feelings and not take it on. You'd make a wonderful medical intuitive.

If you circled one or more for animal empath: ANIMAL EMPATH you're tuned into animals and can help them greatly if you nurture this ability.

If you circled one or more for mission empath: MISSION EMPATH you're tuned into the world and your gifts will be used to help the planet on a greater scale.

If you circled mushrooms: Whoa! Where did you get that stuff?

Why Too Much Empathy or Compassion is Harmful

Here are two articles on why the ego is responsible for much of what we call sympathy that lead us to empathic overload. 

1. Adopting the pain of others in such global events – when you were not directly or even indirectly touched by those events, except to read about it or watch the video footage on the news - is, at best, futile, but it can also be very damaging to a person’s mental well-being… Read More . . .

2. When an event occurs—such as the shooting in Newtown, Connecticut--that gets nationwide attention, it creates a huge, negative pool of energy in the collective consciousness of humanity. People respond with all kinds of emotions from anger at the perpetrator to sympathy for the victims.

Is Being a Highly-Sensitive Person a Blessing or a Curse?

The gift of empathy is a blessing that can seem like a curse when we don't understand how to use it. This intuitive ability to feel energy is actually a divine gift that allows us to use our body as a guidance tool and to know what is energetically going on around us.

The problem is, the body is not designed to run emotional energy--only true feelings (learn the difference between emotions and feelings)--but our world has taught us to meddle in everyone's business but our own and this is how we get into trouble. Other people need to have their own experience in order to learn and take responsibility for what they are creating. You don't need to fix anything for them--only fix what is yours!

I know this is going to sound really strange, but you are the creator of your own reality and life experiences. We've been taught that God imposes his will upon us, but the truth is the Universe/God is going to support you in whatever decisions you make. We are working with energy--everything is energy. If you don't like what you've created, you can create something new starting this very moment.

It's a matter of setting clear boundaries to not allow your energy to roam into the field of another person. Every thought and emotion you send out to another person has the ability to transfer energy to/from them. If you are not putting your own needs first and filling yourself up with God Source energy, then this exchange can make you feel drained by others. Therefore, self-love must be your primary goal. This is what puts you in touch with God and your body, which is the temple or vehicle for Spirit to work through.

If you are having problems managing emotional energy, I would be happy to do some coaching with you. See http://weare1inspirit.com/services/coaching for details.

Characteristics of an Empath: Taking on the Physical Pain of Another Person

When I first began to realize that being an empath was having a detrimental effect upon me, I started using some of the methods that I describe in Chapter 9 of my book, Whose Stuff Is This? ~ Finding Freedom from the Thoughts, Feelings, and Energy of Those Around You, to keep from picking up the energy of others. But, there were still times when I was broadsided—like the time when our friends, Sally and Angie, were at our house having dinner with me and my husband. Here's that story...

I was talking about my work as a writer when all of a sudden my throat closed up and a stabbing pain hit me in my neck and upper chest. I grabbed my throat in a panic that caused Randy and Angie to think I was choking. I couldn’t swallow or speak to tell them what was wrong. Thankfully, Sally is an intuitive healer and recognized that I was not choking, but needed to be released from a psychic energy attack. She worked to clear me and when I could speak again, I had insight as to what had just happened. I had been considering ghostwriting a book for a man whose father had witnessed the assassination of President Kennedy. He was about to report the culprit to the authorities when he was attacked from behind, stabbed in the throat, and left to die in an alley. The client wanted me to write about what his father had shared with him in the months prior to his death. I had picked up the traumatic energy of a ghost!

That event was a big eye-opener for me. This business of being an empath had gone too far and it had to stop! I adopted new ways to protect myself with grounding and centering exercises that I share in Chapter 9 of my book for empaths. I meditated to receive energy from higher realms and learned how to run my own energy through my chakras.

I also detached from the outcome of my prayers. If I prayed for anyone, I detached myself from the person’s energy and did not allow myself to become emotionally involved. I would offer the energy of healing, but I no longer attempted to know the plan for another person’s soul.

I no longer attempt to usurp the free will of others as I had many times in my religious prayer efforts when I was trying to save the world. Instead, I started sending people divine love and light—an energy that they could use however they and God chose. Since I was directing a higher energy rather than sending out my own energy, I was not taking on the detrimental energy my prayer recipients were releasing from their blocked chakras or cells.
