Empath

I am an empath. I admire you for your work with animals, equuslife, I have a very difficult time with shielding and can't do it unless I'm concentrating on it at all times. I have a very tough time even with my own children crying. lol You are truly doing Divine work, helping those horses find peace. Blessings to you!

I am humbled by your comments. Thank you all very much.

Hi my name is Tracie,
I am an empath also. Not only do I feel peoples emotions I also feel their physical aliments also. Takes alot out of me.

Yes, I have learned and developed the tool of empathy, so I guess that qualifies me. I don't really go in for labels but whatever.

I am an empath too. I feel others emotions even from those who crossed over. I try not to confused those feelings as my own. I pick up energy from others also.

Count me in. I'm reading a new book by Rose Rosetree called Become the Most Important Person in the Room: your 30-day plan for empath empowerment that is looking pretty good. Her take seems to be that empaths need to become aware of and return to their own energy and that without conscious effort we automatically "merge" with whoever we connect with often taking on their burdens into ourselves afterwards.

Yesterday I happened upon a website that described empaths and it was one of those "OMG" moments when I realised that the description fitted me right down to the last full-stop! And all this time I thought I was the only "special" one LOL!! Ha ha not really, but I was really quite shocked to find that there was actually a name for the way I have been all my life. Now I can understand that many of my bouts of depression may have actually been inadvertently caused by the feelings of others.
Luckily I am somewhat of a recluse and nature is my tonic so I am guessing that I have found my own way of dealing with what I previously never really understood. The only thing is, I am a little confused as I thought I had an undeveloped ability to feel and communicate (I hear and speak telepathically) with spirit, but now I am not sure that I am not just a completely insane "empath"?
I plan to do a bit of a web search to find out more but if anyone can point me in the right direction I would be ever so grateful :)

Holy crop, IQ, I've read this 4 X's...think I need to read it a few more. I've always understood something like this without being able to put it into words, but I need this~*
