emotional healing (when you absorb other's feelings)

hi everyone!

im sorry if im not in the right forum. i am seeking advice on healing myself emotionally. well its not actually ME that needs the healing, but when i'm around others i always pick up on their feelings to the point where sometimes i'm overwhelmed. i don't know how to protect myself from this, but when someone i know is depressed or moody or just negative period i tend to absorb that in. it happens when i'm around positive people as well, but that doesnt bother me lol


i was wondering if anybody had any advice on how to let these feelings go? sometimes i feel burdened by this. it is really hard at times even if i see the person for 5 minutes, it can put a damper on my day or is lingering in my mind.


any thoughts or comments i would appreciate any advice or opinions. thank you

love & light

I know what you mean...
I seem to be affected by this too - sometimes when I walk by some people, I can sense great anger or negative energy from them, and it is almost like I am drowning in their thoughts - it's not a pleasant experience and I do get worked up by it and it takes me a while to calm down and get over the thoughts and energy...

There are protection exercises - where you can imagine yourself surrounded by a sphere of light which can protect your soul from other people's energies...

Here are some links:

it is a great gift you have to be able to feel others emotions it means you are strong spiritually replace those negative thoughts with ones of love and compassion for that person once done the negative thoughts will likewise leave you. try it!!

thank you devolution and lumus. i will do my best to keep things balanced. its just that i notice that even if im thinking of a person, i get their emotions. or when a so called friend is on my mind, i can feel how they really don't like me you know?

when it comes to my aunt, my wrists hurt, my head hurts and my stomach churns at times. she is genuinly a wonderful person, but when she's stressed boy can i ever feel it! i will try my hardest to protect my spirit. tahnk you very much!

when you get those feelings send out healing thoughts to your aunt its called absent healing and ask your spirit guides who are working with you to take those pains away from you.

Hi biyu_wolf_77, you are actually wrong when you call yourself a 'psychic vampire'. A 'psychic vampire' is in fact a person who makes the OTHER person in their company feel drained of energy, whether they do it consciously or not. You do, in fact, as you suggested, possess empathic abilities.

As far as protection goes, here is an exercise I posted in another thread which was similar to this one so feohgoddess and anyone else reading this, I hope it helps.

It is upto you of course, if you do the following exercise. It may be interesting to do it just the once and see how you feel.

Ok, this is pretty much a visualisation technique and so I suppose it is something that should be done, once a day, preferably in the morning. First, visualise a sphere of SILVER light around the whole of your body which will be your protection from the world.

Then, gradually, pull this light towards you until it follows the outline of your body. You don't need to pull this light in too tight. Apparently, about 30cm ( 12 inches ) is close enough. Tell yourself or KNOW that it is in place. Then you can forget about it. It will remain there until you consciously WILL it to dissolve.

This is why I said it is probably best to do it once a day, just to reaffirm it to yourself. The silver sphere will serve as protection against hostile psychic energy and will protect you from picking up negativity off others.

Thanks for reading, Kundalini.

You know that's highly interesting what you said about wanting to experience the emotions so you will know who it's from etc. The thing is though, with a protective exercise such as this you will still be able to sense other's energies but IMO it will not overwhelm you and will allow to look at the emotion with some detachment. Do you understand what I mean?

i think so but guess im just usted ta it beein like im that way even tho i know im not once i figure out where its comin from it should be better(like that one instance i brought up id just ask the teacher to go to the guidance office cause theres somethin i need ta do tell that "friend" that his sadness brought me there and see from that try to help and likely the closer i am to physically to him from origon point to where i was the better it is fer me as ill have some sence of him yet but know how to help)
