Psychic Person In Need Of Help

We also understand the psychic skill of Empathy rather well, for it functions like most other psychic abilities that begin with atonement. The way to acquire it in the first place is to have an open mind, and to train it you must use it, practice with it, and continue to open your mind. Meditation merely clears the mind, it does not develop any psychic skill in and of itself, though it too is recommended, but only as a monthly 'taking out the - mental - trash' method.

To touch on what a few others before us have also stated, it won't overwhelm you if you have it well trained.

May Love,
And Light,
Guide Your Path.
Follow Your Heart.

everyone has the ability to do anything, you just have to believe in yourself.

The ability is doubtless a genetic phenomenon. It could be that the dormant gene in both your parents caused it, or if one of your parents or ancestors had it, there's your answer.

As to making it stronger, what I'd say is DON'T. It will overwhelm you and if you can't controll it, which is much harder than you think, you will end up destroying yourself and other people. Just practice, practice, practice, and eventually you may become stronger and more disciplined as well. Remember - A telepath needs more discipline than an ordinary Human being. I'm living proof - I have to take freak pills because I keep loosing control of my emotions!

I am also an empath (natural born). I agree with the previous person about seeming to be overwhelmed when in a crowd- if you feel like that you should learn how to shield yourself (plenty of places on the web to look).

I am going to ask you something- why do you want your empathy to be stronger?

I'm just curious because I see empathy as an ability that should be accepted the way you have it (just a personal opinion). True, it can be trained to be better (such as focusing on feeling one individual's emotion rather than a random person), but I would recommend taking up some form of meditation to do this (again, many methods online)

In short: practice shielding and meditation, for both of these will help you develop this ability further (not stronger, but fine-tune it so that you gain more from it)

I think that your empathic abilities operate too well behind your natural shields. Don't assume that a strong ability means that you will feel overwhelmed by a group of people. The people that talk about being overwhelmed just might not have the right training. I have a strong empathic gift. I just know the difference between the emotions that are coming me and those that are coming from the outside. Once you are aware of emotions as external they will no longer effect you on such a deep level.

I'm no expert on empathy, but Nealaphh tells me that certain broad abilities, such as empathy, can develop into more acute powers.

In your case, empathy has given you insight into people's lives and behaviour. In turn, you have the ability to see the futures and paths of those you are extremely close to. From those visions, it's possible to discern what might be to come.

Any chance that you get to use your abilites, I would do it. I did it for a while and found that I was acutally getting a little bit better but stopped because I got too busy.

A good thing to bear in mind is that we all have these abilities. However, because of the subtlety of such abilities, most people are insensitive to the information, or they readily override it.
To strengthen your empathy, use it. We get better at what we do consciously. Remember, experts are just amateurs who never gave up.

Validation (feedback that let's us know when we get it right) is something that helps us to recognize the difference between when we get it right (the big win) when we get it wrong (why is -that- what I thought?). Pay close attention to how it feels when you get it right, and how it feels when not. This subtle difference will help you know what is intuitive information and what is simply your own thinking.

Your friends and family are a great source for validation because they know you and can be understanding with you, however we know them too well: you have too many existing feelings and thoughts about them already, and filtering out intuitive information and what was already there (pre-existing thoughts) is tough even for the most professional of psychics. I know professionals that refuse to read for friends and family because they "know them too well" which makes it difficult to know if the information is coming from spirit, or themselves.

The best validation (I call this learning to trust yourself) comes from people we don't know at all, but this can be difficult because people like to put up walls around them when they come across things they don't understand.

Keep practicing, and remember, this ability makes you no different from your friends or family... They could all do it too if they wanted. You are now recognizing when it happens for you, which is a wonderful thing.

Empathic abilities? I don't know how to strengthen that. Try talking to people and trying to secretly get inside their head. LOL. Ah, I did that when I was little.
I don't really know, I'm kind of new here. 😁
