Xpat/ StG? Think I opened flood gates....

You remember my whole announcement that maybe I was possibly ready to maybe possibly think about accepting whatever gifts I have maybe possibly...?

Well.... we had the good prescence come back, which I LOVE.

I have been absorbing Psychomum's emotions for the past 6 - 12 months, so nothing new there except being more aware of it (and remembering to put up a shield!!)

Then the last 48 hours things have suddenly spiralled... My gran has always told me that I can heal, but I have never done anything with it. On Sunday night DD woke with her legs aching (similar to growing pains, but I still get them now) - Its very very distressing for her and not something she can put on an act for - normally calpol, warmth and chamomilla is about all that will settle her enough to sleep, and then it takes a minimum of half an hour. Out of calpol, so I decided to try focussing on trying to take the pain out of her legs... I sat very calmly, held my hands steady very gently on her legs, and just focussed - my hands became very very hot, and she settled within a couple of minutes and said they were better and fell asleep .

Then.... yesterday lunchtime I had an overwhelming feeling of panic - sort of an anxiety attack but it was clear it wasn't my panic. I sent a text to Psychomum, heard nothing back, and thought nothing of it... it turns out that as she recieved my text though, a taxi reversed into her car - and after being in a bad car accident in the summer, she went into a full panic attack!!

I think this is one of my normal things of needing to write it all down to make it ordered in my head... It feels a bit odd at the moment, but I'm not feeling scared of it. I'm getting the feeling that I will be staying with the more empath type feelings than premonitions?? I prefer the sound of that (so I will decide that how it works )

Argh - late to be out - back later!!

I have been exploring my empathic feelings over the last year, but since you want SG or Xpat I will just lurk

WHOA!

I wish I could heal! My gran could do that. She was best at healing.

But I just got the medium gene instead.

I've not had any experiences like yours - how cool! All mine have been being able to 'see', feel or hear those who have left this life.

You are very open at the moment, not surprising after the events of the last weeks.

Do lots of grounding and protecting, but other than that go with the flow.

Give my love to Psycho.

Oh and speak to expat about the empathic stuff.

Oooh spooky posting incident. I looked at the thread and only flames post was there. I posted and now Paps and expat are there - but they should have been there anyway as they are from an hour ago.

Cue spooky music.

And stop talking to yourself StG

expatinscotland · 19/12/2006 11:10

LOTS of protecting for sure!

FLAMEinEckItsYuleAgain · 19/12/2006 13:46

How bizarre StG!

Paps - it was just that I knew the backgrounds of Expat and StG more - come talk

Quite that it didn't occur to me to start doing protecting at times other than on the way to see Psycho (I'm really not too bright at times)... Psycho's asking for me to feel warm fuzzy things for her instead from now on

Paps - talk to me more about this empath thing then! I have always had a bond with Psycho (shared pmt, pregnancy symptoms etc) but over the past few months I have been able to distinguish between her feelings and mine more. I was also aware on the way back from Cornwall (before g/dad had died) of my mum's worry as well - luckily I wasn't driving and could focus on a shield which helped. I've never had anyone other than Psycho before, and certainly never from a distance or before the event.

I am pleased that I am feeling fairly calm about it (for now!!).

More testing methinks...

'sme again

Same situation, new question... I am fairly cr*p at remembering to shield in the morning, I tend to remember on my way to my mum's/Psycho's house, but now I've started up with this bloody distance empath thing it isn't enough. The few days I have remembered in the morning, I need to sort of refresh a lot during the day...

Is it a practice makes perfect job or will it always be like that?

could someone tell me how to shield? A lightbulb has just come on for me...! Would it work for someone who absorbs other people's emotions?

FLAMEinEckItsYuleAgain · 29/12/2006 19:02

I have to completely calm myself and sort of push energy out of myself so it makes a big bubble round me (I picture one like Glinda from the wizard of Oz - ello Staci ), and it stops anything negative from filtering through.

He been meaning to post here but the Chat threads seem to roll off the tongue easily! Apologies Flame for not posting.

Was reading your posts this morning and it got me thinking about "Shields" a term/word you both used. I think our language as well as the sensations we feel are good signposts for how to find what suits us best. Maybe it is better explained in myself.

I am in the Chinese Astrology a metal Dog - once I found that out many years it made alot of sense to me. As a child I used to have sensations of being bigger than I was and also I felt chunky and had metalic taste sensations. When I try to "shield" myself I have taken my metal Dog self into account - I like using mirrors and refractions rather than balloons.

I read this article recently which I thought was quite helpful

Getting a feel for Empathy

glitterfairyrenewed · 30/12/2006 14:15

Interesting article paps and I have learnt to use defensive shield type things (not sure what I call them) against much of the negativity which has surrounded me this year. I call it my shield of defense and use it for protection alot. Visualising and meditation helps and taking time to re charge my batteries.

I am naturally empathic but not in a classic healing way I think. I use relationships to effect change both in my work and also at home. Flamey as a nurse I have seen people who can calm others or help them by touch and presence.

FLAMEinEckItsYuleAgain · 30/12/2006 14:34

I was wondering who you were paps!!!

I will read the article when it is a bit quieter round here .
