There's no reason to freak out. It is a gift that may be hard to live with, but is very useful to have. Not everybody has this ability so cherish it and learn to use it. I promise it will help you out one day.
But if you ever do manage to get a collective group of empaths together i recommend having a group focus such as a large amethyst or citrine crystal. These things will not only amplify your collective powers along with the sheer multiplicity of so many empaths, but by having everyone focus on such a stone and through it connect to others it can ensure purity of thought and emotion as well as helping heal and clear negative emotions and feelings from group mates.
i dont know what i am its been suggested that im n empath but my issue is not with that part ive always been over sensitive...as long as i can remember i always know when someone i know has died or i terminally ill or incarcerated its like i can feel them snuffed out but i always have a dream or an uncontainable urge to find someone out of the blue and im always right sometimes im late but not very often i yes i can see thru people and feel them and i cn feel energies... so am i ??? like i said the dreams of my loved ones dying or waking with that feeling of please dont be true.... i just wanna know what it is.. ive been reading tarot and practicing energy controll for over a decade and this baffles me ...
I'm an empath. I think a coven would be interesting, but the chat would hardly be used, :D. I'm always available through mail if anybody wants advice on this subject.
Blessed, We.
P.S. Anyone can develop this skill.
I am an Empath. I've been an Empath since I was little. I can feel what others feel, and sometimes I can read people of my own accord. But generally it's an involuntary gift. I have always been able to feel what other people felt; their desires, hopes, dreams, even their fears and secrets. I have become a lot more sensitive over the years to others around me. And I know that my gift will only continue to grow and expand in power.
