Last Night I Had An Empathic Experience

[Coffee]

If you tried to stare me in the eyes and hold my hand I would punch you then call the cops.

Seriously.

But as far as empathy goes, you don't have to touch someone to be effective.  Unless you're at a club.  With that many people spreading their energy around how do you know who you are reading?

Plus, who wants to talk about their personal life at a club?

If you want to have "emapthic experiences" or do what I call reading people, I suggest you do the following:

Meet in a private but comfortable place and use tarot cards or crystal balls or tea leaves or some medium.  Even if you don't use the cards or tea leaves you will make him more comfortable (he/she will feel invaded if they think you can read their mind).  

Focus on your subject using whatever skills you have, and focus on any imagery or messages you get from them.  

If you are having a hard time getting messages, stall by asking them a generic question like "Do you remember being treated unfairly by your parents/siblings/spouse/friends/pets/etc.

While they jabber about whatever and do the stalling for you, ask your higher self to ask their higher self to convey a message to you.  Then display your mad skills and charge them for your time.

Well I have to admit that a club enviroment really sucks when trying to read someone with all of the noise and other persons.
But as a favor to my friend I tried to attempt it.
As far as crystal balls, cards,and items of that nature I haven't used them before but am open to the use of different methods to bring on a more productive state of mind.

Just recently I had another empathic experience with my friend and a much stronger one than before.
We agreed to be in a quieter enviroment and went back to his house.
He has a natural curiousity about empathy and has been read before by physics.
We closed our eyes joined hands and mediated after which point I reached out for him and drew in the sensations which I perceived flowing from him.
I then translated these sensations into emotions and put the pieces together better this time.
I sensed extreme lonliness, a great and vast need to be loved, and much pain which I believed was caused by contact with some other individual.
Even though he is not empathic I could feel him reaching for me his energy and joining with my own.
When it was over he said that I had read him much more accuratly this time than before.
He said that people would probably pay money for me to read them but I have sought to use my powers hopefully one day in a manner able to really help others and not just for financal gain.

Emphatic experience...if only I knew what that was.  I've never heard of it before.  Explain? ( yeah right )

Its a useless form of a kinesis where you sense the "emotions" of others.

[twstedrage]

it can be useless if not used right or at all, but you can use empathic abilities to help others. I don't think that is useless.

I agree, empathy is definately not useless, unless you're the kind of person who likes to go on a big power trip about how you can move objects with your mind, and stuff like that.

I happy to be very empathetic. Many many times I've been able to help counsel my friends when they're feeling low, making them feel better by letting them know they're not alone. I'm also able to share in my friends' happiness. I wouldn't trade this gift for anything.

Please explain me since when Empathy has been a Kinesis. As far as I'm aware, Kinesis means something close to Movement, and I do not really see the connection between movements and emotions.

I'm a natural Empath. Empathy is not useless. Empathy can be dirty, Empathy can be hated though loved at the same time. Empathy can make your life living hell, yet at the same time make you feel endlessly happy.

Lickerish, I find it strange you need to touch people in order to receive their emotions. Try practising it without touching each other, I'm sure that will prove very useful.

[twstedrage]

I agree with you Nayru, I have never had to touch someone to get a empathic emotion. However sometimes when someone touches me or I touch them I will get visual images. How long have you known you were an empath Nayru? what kind of things have you done to grow your abilities?

[Nayru]

I've known I had this strange skill with emotions as long as I can remember, and using it as well. I used it to find out if my mother was in a good mood to ask her a favor, for example. But it was only two years ago when I discoverd what it was called and that I of course was not the only one having it.

I've done nothing to grew the skill.. Back then, I could fully control Empathy. I could decide whether I wanted to receive emotions or not, I even remember I could filter out bad emotions and let the good ones through and vice versa. Those things all belong to the past. This last year, my Empathy has become stronger and stronger every day. It grew so fast out of my control that I did not know what to do. Then it stopped growing, and I then started to less or more control it again. Then suddenly it became stronger and stronger again and once more, I lost my grip on it. Even now, it is still getting stronger, and I don't know why. I really don't know.

But that's ok, I don't want to control it anymore. I've found that acceptance is way more important than the ability to control it. When I first lost control, I also lost acceptance. Denying something makes everything twice as worse, so it was about the stupidiest thing I could do. Yet I could not help it, and it took very long before I accepted it again. In fact, I started hating it so much, and once my shieldingattempt went kinda wrong and I created.. a block, whatever you want to call it. It was then I started to realize what Empathy meant to me, and it was then I accepted it once more.

So, how about you? ^_^

I have also known I have had strange empathic abilities all my life too, more so as I got older, I denied them when I was younger because my christian parents told me that there is no such thing and it was just good human intuition. As I got older they have grown. However somethings I can just get easy, especially when I am helping someone I pick up on things of there past, what they are feeling and so on. What has been happening more and more lately is visual and audio stuff in my head, sometimes I will see random things for no reason about a person, past or what they are thinking and also I will hear the person talk, but they didn't. For as long as I can remember I could hear wishpering in the background of people talking and lately they form into hearable words. That was why I was asking if you had done anything to improve your abilities, because mine seem to be growning and its all random. I was told by someone once that I was a rare breed of true impaths and my skills would grow soon, but she never went into what that all ment.

Last night I went to monthly get together at a club and I decided to make an attempt at empathy while there with a guy that I've hung out with before.
At first I stared into his eyes but he didnt feel comfortable with that right away but later did.
I always can sense so much by looking into someone's eyes even before touching them.
Later after trying to explain what I wanted to do and with him having an interest in things physic and claiming to have been read by others we held hands.
I joined together with him and as he is a very private person I sensed that there were dark places withiin in him where I could'nt read him.
I sensed a somewhat pleasant natured person but perhaps someone who didn't fit in well with others probably most when they were in their childhood or teen years perhaps.
Later when I asked him if this was so he said I was somewhat right about that but he being a private person didn't feel comfortable discussing it at that time.
It was overall a curious experience though.
