For those who do not know what empathic

means it is feeling the world around you

inside of you what others feel, pain etc.

this is not limited to people as can also

feel animals and plants and even strong

feelings inside of a building. 

Today I was giving massage to a client.

She was having nerve pain in her shoulder

and arm.  Massaging her shoulder and arm

and even neck and collarbone rib area did

not help as she was getting the pain

again and again. 

 I did some energy work

as she was more receptive to that and it

helped her more and then started to feel

in my lower neck area and higher mid-back

area a burny stingy pain.  I did not have this

pain before going in and sometimes lyme can

bring on pain like that but I decided to ask her

and feel with my fingers in the same area on her

and found the place right where I was hurting.

I gently pushed on it and then her hand was

not numb anymore.  Guess I found it once again.

When I was younger I was not aware that I had

this.  I would all of a sudden get sad, upset or

even happy and it was not my own feelings.

It would have been a lot more easier

if someone had understood this about me and

taught me how to live with this but life has

taught me the way finally.  it kind of is a

constant struggle to not feel everyone

elses feeling all of the time and making sure

I am not doing it. 

I say is this my feeling

did I feel this way before coming to

this place or around these people??

If the answer is no chances are I am too

open and being a psychic sponge.

If someone with this gift is not taught

good boundaries it can be really hard

to live that way.  lets face it this world has

a lot of misery in it. 

I have had to become very aware of how

I feel inside to live easy with this gift.

It can be a curse at times but all in all

I am no different than an animal in my

opinion.  They are very feeling creatures.

We are too but have been conditioned

not to be so.  However, somehow me

and many others have slipped through

the cracks still carry this gift. 

Meditation helps with this as it helps

going within and learning your deeper self.

So does having healthy boundaries with

people.   I have learned how to still

feel but not take in others pain or

other energies.  Today however it 

happened again.  This is a long hard lesson

for me but share this so if others

are out there as well who are very

feeling people in a very unfeeling world

how to deal and be happy.

There is a machine that measured my aura

and the woman said mine went out

way too far I must be a very caring person

always trying to help others and I need

to learn how to not have my aura out so far

in public.  wish I could have learned

this younger in life sure would made things

a lot simpler for me.  If anyone is interested in

learning more how to live with this gift

feel free to email me and I can share some tips

that I have learned that really help. 

I have some interesting things

that have happened as a result of this.

I will share one.  A friend of mine bartended

at a bar I drove by one day.  I called to say

hello even though I had to keep driving by her

and all of a sudden tasted a bloody mary and

told her that a bloody mary sounded

good to bad I could not stop.

She said wow I just finished pouring

a bloody mary as she picked up the

phone.  (weird huh)

Another time I worked in a wine bar.

it was a small bar and kind

of was seated towards

the place where the bands played.

I went downstairs and came back up one night

and went in the middle of the bar

surrounded by the people who

had been there a while drinking wine and

beer..

All of a sudden I felt like I drank 3

bottles of wine by myself .

I could taste alcohol but was

no certain kind.  It was so

overwhelming and I knew

what was happening that I

was picking up everyones drunk

vibes but was like I drank what

everyone drank by myself.

I went out of the middle and

instantly felt better.

Ok so perhaps I am crazy

but this happened to me and so many more things I

could keep typing and typing but will

perhaps save that for another blog.
