being too perceptive and protections

[Guest guest]

Hi guys

I learn so much of this group members and i am very grateful for your wisdom

here.

 

wanted to share with you another thing that bothers me these days.

 

The more i get older - the more i have a need to shut my self of people and

be alone, with nature and with God.

 

I think this is because i can highly sense bad vibrations of some people

and that bothers me a great deal. sometimes I can even cry when i sense

such bad energies. some of them are sticky and won't leave you for a while.

they make me loose my balance for a while,

 

Sometimes I meet people that i even didn't knew before - and i feel kind of

piercing arrows... it is more a gut feeling. it is difficult to logically

pinpoint what's wrong . I just know this exist.

 

Usually it is kind of a jealousy energy which is the most painful.

Today for example a friend of mine from the past called me. I was kind to

her and listened and told her that i love her and tried to give her good

advises. She is unemployed.

we spoke and laughed together and everything was ok until she strated

exploring me regarding my current job and my husband's job.... how is it

going? How are we dealing? is it a permanent job? why does she see so little

articles of mine in the newspaper (I am a journalist)? Am i making enough?

 

At that time I felt pressed.... It was kind of a rape. I felt that she is

treamendously jealous.... and i felt kind of fear.... I became intimidated

and she felt this so she continued with this pressing procedure.

 

I tried gently to turn the subject... but she would't give up!

the result: I felt drained and angry and defendant

and disgusted.... so i got a decision to cut any contact with this lady.

forever.

It was a sticky energy that i still have to deal with....

 

I went outside to the sun to " wash " my head with nature but the problem

keeps running after me...

It will fade with time.... i am sure - but i keep asking myself: where are

my protections....

I try to cling to God and ask for protection. This does comfort. Also i try

to feel compassion for her. Usually this strategy work wonders. but not this

time,

 

I also remember what Rusty wrote (think of y - not on not X - to get rid of

X) : This is comforting in the brains level.

 

I wanted to ask you How are you dealing with subtle bad energies like

jealousy.... how do you build protections not to suffer of them? how do you

wash them away?

How to turn this high perceptiveness from a curse into a blessing?

 

 

Thank you

Everything has 2 sides. Are you shutting yourself off to be with God or,

could it be that you are uncomfortable so you are shutting yourself off

from others and even yourself?

 

Everything we see is our own perception. We project our own expectations

onto those around us. It is very possible that your friend was in fact

truly interested in your welfare. If you have self doubts you may expect

the same doubts from others. Rid yourself of those doubts and your

experience of those around you will change. Those bad energies will be

like water on a duck's back, never sinking in.

 

Use these experiences to gauge how you are doing. Note whether they

still hurt or if they just roll off. Whatever the energy of the people

around you once you cleanse yourself they will not affect you.

 

It is always about YOU. It is never the other person. They just reflect

what is going on for you in the moment. Notice it, say thank you for the

lesson and move on.

I agree with this 100%. And even if this were not true, I would look at

life as if it were. Here's why. When I am feeling some bad vibrations

and I think the other person is causing them, there is nothing I can do

about it, since the other person is the cause. However, if I consider

that the bad feelings are coming from within, I can learn something about

myself.

 

So when I see something about another person that I don't like, I think of it

as something I don't like about myself. It's me, but I see it in them.

 

If I can isolate what it is that I don't like about myself I can learn to

change it or accept it, either way, I wind up more comfortable inside my

own skin, (that's the healing power).

 

Of course, most days I just blame the other person heh. It feels good and

gives me that wonderful sense of superiority.

Dear Anat,

I also agree that we project our perceptions of self on others and read

" their " perceptions of us.

However, I also know that " other " people DO throw energetic spears, DO

have sticky,sucky energy, ARE jealous,etc. Empaths DO feel all these subtle

energies.

I would consider that exploring your boundary issues may be beneficial

here. It is entirely possible and very healthy to feel another's energy and

not internalize it. The container of who you are needs to be solid (in a

flowing way) to hold who you are and know who you are not (in regard to

another person). This is often expedited by therapy.

Good luck! I understand the discomfort of which you speak.

Hi Lizzie,

 

Could you say something more about what an empath is, please.
