Where to start... Well I just discover that there is a name for what I am, Empathic. For years I just thought I was crazy. I always just knew what people where thinking or feeling. Which to say the least made me uncomfortable.
But when I was about 14 I started seeing things or attracting things, usually dark things. For example I went with my friends to "The Tracks" and something hitched a ride in me. That night I was unusually tired, like I was drained. I went to bed before nightfall. Which is in itself very weird, because I was an night owl. I had a nightmare in which a Shadow man was chasing me in the graveyard by the tracks, I felt the evil coming off of it in waves. And no matter where I hid in the graveyard he'd always found me. When I finally woke up someone or something was stroking my face, as if to say "how pretty". There was no one else in my room.
Since then I have been seeing Shadow people. So a few years later I put up a mental/spiritual wall to keep everything out, but now I don't know how to get it down. I don't know how to reach my full potential as an empath and whatever else I am be. And I want to know why ghosts and shadow people were attracted to me. I need answers to these questions because my 7 year old is just like me, and I don't know how to help her or protect her. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
However I haven't ever been able to put up a 'wall' successfully. I've been able to give off "stay away" vibes, but then it makes me go from warm understanding individual to cold intimidating being.
Balance is really difficult in empathy.
I also attract energies, specifically negative ones.
I wish I had some great advice to give, but honestly I don't even know how to keep myself from being possessed or anything else of that nature:S
All I can say is trust your intuition first. Allow yourself to be intune with your surroundings.
Something I try to keep in mind, it is simple is: "be separate, be one"
Which basically means be separate from all negativity in your life and around you, it isn't your identity, it has no control over your life. And to be one with your own self, with the universe, and with all positive things that give you a sense of grounding.
The more positive energy you surround yourself with, the better off you'll be.
Fear is a very powerful emotion that things like to feed off of and cling onto.
So...release the fear, but also...
I have to say this...
Please please please...
When it comes to shadow people, ghosts, or any other type of entity, energy etc...
Do not try to communicate with it.
It might be benign, but when it isn't...once that door is open it is terribly hard to close it.
Sorry if I was redundant or anything...
Best wishes xx
