Well I have a friend who is an empath and she can often help people work through negative emotions... she doesn't do it alot and only with people she knows she can trust, but she is also still learning. I think and there are many good things that can be done with knowing what others are feeling you can connect with them on a very personal level. Though there are dangers with this too... Like freaking them out... and causing them to NOT trust you... If I can think of anymore I will let you know....

Hi,

It is hard to explain the practical situations when empathy and also clairsentience can be used and helpful, there are so many lol.

It can help you understand people better and help with job interviews and meetings and also employing people. From your brief posts I can understand that you might be seen as a recluse or hermit, sometimes it is easier to hide away and segregate ourselves from others and the input overload of the emotions and 'noise' from others. Some people literally SCREAM their emotions and problems out loud, without ever making a sound, but an empath or clair sentient or sensitive being can hear them just as loudly as if they were shouting and had their feelings and problems written on their forehead.

I find that I have to be careful when entering some situations, I need to protect and shield myself sometimes and if I forget or relax too much the onslaught can become very wearing and tiring and  so I often get blamed for being snooty or standoffish, when in fact I am blocking emotions and words and feelings. Then once I have recovered and grounded myself I can carry on. I use a lot of crystal barriers and also essential oils and colours to help me.

You may find that people confide in you, they talk and talk and just feel comfortable offloading onto you, they say they feel better just after having talked with you or after recieving a hug from you.

Explore and learn as much as you can about the 'clairs' and then learn more and practice blocking your input and shielding yourself mentally and physically.  

I do wonder if anything has happened to make you more sensitive recently, or perhaps it is just the ease and opportunity to share, explore and find out, that internet access now provides

Be happy and stay safe

Hi all and thanks again
The reason that the original post was so short was because I cut half the story that I intended to write and the answers I've received have prompted me to write it all:
Early on this year, we were visiting a hospital on a regular basis to see a relative who was in a very bad way, bless her. After some time the visits ended and I got the feeling that I had brought something from the hospital with me, although I thought that it was nothing to do with the person we visited.
I began to get very tired and this got worse until I would have to lie on the bed at some time during the day for an hour or so until I recovered. I went to the doctor and that was a complete waste of time as he seemed to think I had sleep pattern problems, which i didn't, although i did have bad dreams. Things have not been good the last three years, my wife has been quite ill, family and financial and this was like putting the finishing touch to disaster.
I came to the point that I asked God to send an angel to help me, as I genuinely thought I was dying.
Within a few days I found myself looking into a box containing coloured stones – crystals and I was told to select the one I was attracted to and that I was probably experiencing some kind of attack. Shortly after someone else gave me another stone. It was incredible, I started to feel better after a few days and the problem is gone now.

In answer to the question, there is no particular event that I can think of except the recent troubles that has sparked my intuition. We all find our epiphany or peace in the most unexpected ways and I think that it's the extreme problems that have caused us to examine our way of thinking about the world. Our logical education and scepticism is, I think, the thing that we most need to abandon. As someone has said, “going through life with only one eye open”. To use both halves of our brain, both intuitive and logical equally is the ideal I think and I'm hoping to get there.

I'm retired now, but when I was working, I found the most unlikely people would confide in me and yes, in answer to the other question, I was good at selecting staff for work.

I have tried the bubble and it works, so thank you for that and I'll try to remember the colours.

I hope that my record of my experience will help others with similar problems and hope for anyone with troubles as they tend to make you a better person.
