If I am an empath and trying to learn to shield myself and use my gift to better myself and the world; where m

Question

might I begin?

Answer 1

This question would take too long to answer on the computer. I am an empath as well. I use to get crippling headaches from other people and pick up and act on their emotions. You can shield from it. I taught myself but it took me years to figure it out. It would be much faster if someone taught you. Find a new age store near you and ask for help, maybe a few lessons. Some nice people will help for free. Explain that you only want one or two lessons.

Answer 2

So far just about everyone except "the holy zero" is confused! You see, I am an empath, not a psychic(but am a witch and that has nothing to do with it). Shielding yourself is next to impossible. You can learn to filter the emotions, but when they are really strong there is nothing you can do. You can't just shut it off. Wouldn't it be nice if more good feelings came through tho? About the only thing you can do is be there to comfort people. Personally I would be a much happier person without this "gift".

Answer 3

I hope this will help you, at least as a starting point. Psychic Protection is a subject that seems to be rarely talked about in many ‘how to’ books. It may have a paragraph or two devoted to it within the subject matter, but the majority of today’s books on new age subjects seem to spend much of their time on spells and the like.

There is a very good book on the market that also comes with a CD, it is from an author called Christopher Penczak, and the book is called 'The Witches Shield'.

Christopher Penczak takes a threefold approach to protection magick in this guide for Witches, pagans, shamans, and psychics. First, find out how to protect yourself using personal energy, will and intent. Next, discover how to connect with your guardian spirits, angels, and patron deities. Finally, learn how to use traditional spell craft and ritual for protection.

That having been said, and allowing for the fact that Mr Penczak approaches this subject very much from the perspective of the modern witch, this book holds a great many useful and enlightening techniques that may prove useful to those who practice different paths to the one described in this book. Working methodically through a discussion on whether Psychic Attack actually exists at all, through the dangers that may be faced by those unprepared to the symptoms that someone may experience where things may have gone wrong, the book leads us to the basics of protecting ourselves when we contact other realms of reality. The author talks sensibly about the need of physical, emotional, mental and soul protection before going on to tell us about protective symbols and techniques as well as evocations to angels, power animals, deities and nature spirits.

I have no doubt that this will be a useful addition to your bookshelf. It contains some real wisdom, and never preaches at the reader. Penczak does make his own points of view strongly, and argues his case on aspects of his teachings well. However, there are parts of his book that I did not feel in tune with my own practice and beliefs, sometimes in his style, and occasionally and quite profoundly in the substance. That doesn’t imply I find this book of little use. On the contrary, it is a book that offers advice and insight into an often neglected but important part of modern spiritual practice, giving reason for the reader to stop and think consciously as to their own intention. You may not always agree with Mr Penczak, but at least you will have thought about what he is saying!

This is not a put down. But a true fact that is being shared with you............................................

Answer 5

If you are an Empath... shields are an impossiblity. The experience of an emapth is to be constantly vulnerable, sensitive, and with definitely have an intense endurance... because, trust me.... you'll need it.
