http://spiritlibrary.com/uriel-heals/channeling-your-empathic-giftsDon't dare quote this one because of the ferocious sounding copyright notice at the end but still worth the clickthu imo. I found this one interesting as an empath I still find myself falling into the pattern of absorbing and processing emotions for others. When was the most emotional person in my family, still am, excepting when it comes to expressing anger. I was the overly emotional one in the family who expressed anxiety and fear for everyone else so I can see how this works globally as well. IT has been a process learning to block the aborbtion of others emotions and energy. I still choose to do energy work to help others but I refuse to take on other peoples stuff any more. In the past I focused my shielding on neutralizing and transmuting other's energy that would otherwise impact me. Lately I find myself going for the ole 'I'm rubber, you're glue, what you send to me sticks on you.' thing. Not in a vindictive way (Ok is someone is really nasty I enjoy the thought of them getting their stuff bounced right back at 'em) but as a way of hopefully making people take responsability for their own emotional wellbeing instead of dumping their
stuff on porous people like me. not sure if this is 'nice' or not but I am trying it for now all the same.
