Overwhelming Dread

when the emotions are too much for me I just let them pour into the earth and be burnt up in the red hot mantle.

I've posted advice on my articles about empathy, I'm not sure if they will be useful or understandable to you but feel free to email or post questions and I'll do my best to help though I'm still learning how it all works too.

Peace, anandahya

hmmmm. Empathy. Pretty strong one at that.

Lets see, first off you need to start to differentiate your emotions and someone else. What I mean by that is when you start to think in the back of your head, why am I crying or why am I sad, depressed, angry jealous, happy, excited, etc? If your brain can not exactly explain the exact reason why on your first thought, then there is a possibility that it might not be your emotions at all. Now you will doubt yourself and think no I have a reason and you will try to come up with many other reason to counteract your first thought. Its human nature to think of more than one idea, for a best possible outcome, but mostly the gut instinct and the first answer tends to be the best answer. Remember your emotions are also a driving factor to think a certain way. If your depressed, the chance of you having a happy thought is lower then your depressed thoughts and your opinions and your thoughts will tend to go towards such answers. Thinking logically is what your brain does the best, and feeling emotionally is what your heart does the best. (truthfully the heart is just a heart, it doesn't really feel because its a muscle and just reacts to your emotions, its more in the head.)

First off you need to mediate, and figure out your own everyday emotions and thoughts. You will know if its your thought and emotions, because you know yourself the best. Now when an intruding emotion is felt, this is when you must brace yourself for the impact. Some people probably say the best way to do this is shielding yourself in your own personal white bubble by thinking about a huge bubble encompassing you. Or you can shield the other person who is giving off such emotions with the same white bubble. If your religious prayer for a shield also works. Another one is a charm certain stones types of stones protects the wearer, mostly physic attacks. You must remember believing is the key, the moment you doubt yourself, the less effective it will be. Or in another term tricking your mind to believing that their is a shield, like those people who take sugar pills and believing they are getting better. And they actually are, but the problem with this idea is that they did not know the doctor gave them sugar pills. It just tells you how strong your thoughts can be.

I hope this help. 😁
