i've known i was an empath for a long time but less than a week ago, i realized how much of an effect i was letting other's feelings and illness have on me cuz i didn't know how or how to "protect" myself (not the best word i know). When I start to feel other's energies now, I have been praying for whoever's energy it is and asking spirits, guides, and angels to bless them and remove it from me. It's been working, however, after prayer, cleansing, and meditation, i have been feeling very fatigued. More than i used to. Someone told me that it was normal and will stop after about a week. So I guess I'm looking for any other ways to cleanse and if possible, how to regain energy. I plan to go to the library tomorrow to get some reiki books, any suggestions on that? I know I've asked a lot, but if anyone has ANY advice at all, I will be sooooo grateful.

Hi......

I have decided to start using Reiki after using other healing modalities but I also always pick up other's feelings, illnesses etc......... so I started working with my Chakras, making sure they are completely balanced before i would start with a client.......then I would surround myself with protection light..........once session was over I would sit quietly and visulaize the excess energy being formed between my hands and then transformed into a purple ball and flickedf into the Universe for the Good of all Blessed Be!......... then I would do a Guided Meditation........ allowing myself to feel refreshed and revitalized afterwards......

Hope this is something you can try.......for yourself.....

Take care...

Thats really beautiful Rev Vesta. Thank you for sharing it!

Ummmm I must say that I have the same 'problem' sometimes, no matter how much of a blessing and understanding of the energy I have I do feel drained afterwards.
There are 3 things that I am going to say:
1) Could be that I am using my own energy and not the Universes - could be the same with ya.
2) One gets used to it and gets stronger - has been the case for me but if in a particulary large group, blegh.
3) Protection Protection Protection. You shouldnt ever get affected by others, only if you want to. That is the pinnacle in my honest opinion cause I have yet to reach that total at ease and in control state - at all times and in all situations.

hope some others will be able to mention some other things that might help.

oh! just remembered something....sepearation issues...okay what I mean by that is that us as humans believe that there is a lack...and that we can actually be drained...which is cr*p in actual fact as there is no limit to energy from the Universe. It is limitless and unboundless...we just need to change the way we think........let me go find that thread....

Hi Vlinder,

Saying that others can steal your energy, (psychic vampires and the like) is saying that there is a finite amount of energy in your world. What this does to us is make us believe in seperation. Seperateness = protection = defense = fight = fright = fear, which is the opposite of love. Understand that this whole journey is a path to Oneness, this means that there is no seperation, and what this means to me (and what i have experienced) is that there is not, a finite amount of energy, energy is infinite. Everything that we can sense and what we cannot sense is energy, even the air that we breathe in is energy. Every time that we are feeling a negative emotion whether it be anger, fear, judgement, or any one of them, we are buying into the belief of seperateness, an illusion. And when we do that we find that we need something that we believe is outside of ourselves to fix that problem. Whether that be food, drugs, or the somebody elses energy. So What i do when somebody wants to "steal" my energy is allow them to, because that is there choice to be-live in seperateness , it is not my choice, I live in a world of infinite energy where there is enough for all (and I find myself slipping into the illusion at times ). So my question to you is, what do you believe?

Love
Heartworx

For me personally..... I always say I am the channel the vehicle for healing to take place... I bring the energy from the UNiverse through myself into teh Client and do the same... I take it from the client, through me back to the UNiverse... so I never use my own energy and never store the client's/////

Hope helps.... bremeber workw ith Higher Self........

Blessed be!

I am soooo grateful for everyone's suggestions and kindness. It's so nice having other's reach out to a stranger to lend advice. All of your suggestions have been a huge help. The past couple nights, I've found myself trying to escape it and ignore it. I know its a gift and that it'll take time to learn how to use it to help myself and others, Did anyone feel this way? I'm not feeling sorry for myself, I'm just telling myself that I don't need it and have tried giving it to the universe, almost like I'm afraid of not using the gift as much as I should.
