I have a question for you. I am empathic. I can feel others emotions and project my emotions on others. But I seem to be able to do something else that I have not read about..I can make people feel emotions other than what I am feeling. If I was to get in a fight with someone I may be feeling extreemly angry.. but I can make the other person feel terrified. Can other empaths do this?? thanks Wabonan
What you speak of is the part Empathy in which allows others to witness the intensity of your emotions in turn they are more inclined to psychologically react. Since you are angry and they realize how much they naturally become uneasy, anxious or even frightened. In the case of terrified: you may be using a form of Empathy called Empathic Enhancement or increasing the intensity of your anger as to bring anger into the status of rage.

But why can I Inspire any feeling I want. Not just opposites.... I can make most people feel anything I want them to... I don't most of the time because I believe in free will.. .. It is worse than making someone think something they aren't ...feelings last even when I'm not there... I almost always block my power... I have to actually unblock myself to use it. I have been blocking it for so long I have to think about it to unblock it.. I don't like to make people feel things they don't naturally...I have been doing this along time...I am not young ..like the people that seem to come here ..People that don't understand what they are ...I know what I am...... I am tired of hiding who I am though....I recently was given a crystal...It is a hematite. I feel like everything is amplified..Could it be causing this??
In the many cases of empaths there are so many volumes and intensities of the gift to take into consideration. Since the ability can be so strong many �block� or even suffocate their ability as to not interact with others emotions in such a dominant or noticeable way. This is neither healthy for the ability nor the person. Shutting on and off the emotional emittion can cause mental and physical side effects and total suffocation can lead to very severe medical conditions. If your ability is to strong to keep open without causing a great volume of emittion and influence then you many want to work on precision exercises.
Empathic Precision: If you open up your empathic ability and it is either overwhelming for others or yourself or merely stronger then what you deem appropriate then narrowing the channel in which you transmit may be helpful to you. Imagery is the key in influencing the mind to work with and for you. Create an atmosphere in which you could successfully meditate and sit quietly in search for your emotional channel, Make sure the channel is open to its full extent and visualize it. Your goal is to narrow the channel very slowly, it may even takes days or longer. As you narrow your precision it will become far more enhanced and as you get down to nearly closing it you should be able to leave the channel open at a slight 3 � 10 percent. When a channel is this small you are still allowing emotions to emit, but the emittions are so small that at most an individual will be quick to notice you are upset without showing it. This constant flow is healthy and productive in the growth and control of the ability.
