How to further “protect” myself from feeling what others are

[Pippin23]

Hello everyone!

I’ve been doing great at meditating! I am up to twice a day now! I do my aura of protection every-time.

I’m wondering if there is more I can do because I’m so tired of being empathetic and feeling others pain. The physical is worse than the emotional in terms of how much it bothers me.

From emotional- for example:

if someone is grumpy and shows up around me I’ll start feeling grumpy.

To physical- for example:
Someone around me has a sore throat? I now will feel pain in my throat.

Hell I’ve had my back to my store, had someone walk in- while I was still turned around I felt this sharp shooting pain in my leg. I almost couldn’t walk. I turn around a dude is standing there with a full cast on his leg.

It’s driving me crazy. I don’t want to feel sick because someone around me is sick. Or tired because someone around me does.

Is there anything extra I can add to my routine to stop this?

It drives me insane and makes me feel like to be okay I need to be alone in a room without other people’s ailments forever.

Hello,
Being myself empathic, I know these things very well.
Je peux vous conseiller de fermer les chakras, cela aide beaucoup.

You can also perform an aura cleanse to remove any negative energies from your aura.

I have the same problem, very annoying.
Closing chakras and cleaning works well, but on the short term. I mean, if you live very close to your neighbors, I end up absorbing "moods" or even their lifestyle enters my thoughts when I do not pay attention to that. Luckily I can discern the influences from my desires (not always indeed), but it's a loss of time at the end.
So I am really interested too in others' experience here.

By my side, I found that being mentally very closed to other people, for example with a person you hate or strongly despise, lowers that influence. For myself, it seems related to be open or feeling "with them", mentally grouping with other people, so I unconsciously open to their influence. But the problem persists, with people who are neutral or glad to me.

Tell yourself very firmly that you are not picking up, absorbing, or reflecting other people's moods, emotions, ailments, etc. This worked for me. I will occasionally pick up on them again but then shake it off when I realize what is happening. Any time you notice yourself doing this, shove it away (not literally, but have this mindset) and affirm to yourself that you're not doing that anymore, or that their emotions etc are not affecting you.

It's good to have that ability to feel, because it's part of being psychic and can lead to further developments, but all abilities need to be controlled especially if you're suffering for it.

Keep distant emotionally. That the best way i have found. If you observe you will find out that your are connecting them somehow.
Keep away from them even dont look into their eyes. Dont try to get close to them emotionally. You must br very conscious at that moment.

Dont open your soul. Try to be coldhearted. Still You are not the hero who will save the world. Dont try to manage what you cant handle. Your empathy want help or save them

Same problem here, I live around toxic andropods....I'm just referring to to andropods in general, but fucking living energy parasites, I find it quite impossible to meditate in my house to be honest. My particular Asiatic country (won't state which one) is most the culturally and spiritually degenerate even the other Asians are disgusted with us, and rightfully so.

Thank you! I appreciate your info so much. I haven’t tried doing this yet, I really think being assertive with myself about not feeling others is a great idea. I find it can be exhausting and just cause such burn out.

Thank you!
