Tips on Handling Psychic Empathic Traits

admin — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 00:38:44 +0000

It is a gift to experience the thoughts, emotions or sensory information of others but sometimes psychic empathy can feel like a curse, especially if you haven’t yet figured out how to handle it properly.

People with empathic powers generally need to learn how to turn them off, when they want to, or to dampen the effects, so that they don’t experience overwhelming emotions much of the time. Inability to manage empathic powers can cause stress and poor physical health. If you don’t manage it, your empathy can even wear down the un-empathic people in your life.
But you also must remember that your gift has been given for a reason and use it,when you can, to promote the well-being of others. You must learn to see it as a blessing.

First, here are some tips for people who are just beginning to handle psychic empathic powers:

Understand that there will be times when you cannot block out the thoughts and feelings of others.

Be prepared to experience unwelcome emotions thoughts and sensory information, especially when your defenses are low or weakened.

Maintain your energy level by periodically withdrawing from the presence of other people to restore yourself.

Especially withdraw from people or places that tend to overwhelm you.

Do not neglect the spiritual rituals that normally energize you, whether that means meditation or some other observance. If you haven’t connected with the world through a spiritual path, you may want to find one.
See whether herbal remedies help to dispel unwanted emotions. Some empaths have used them successfully.
Take time to differentiate your own thoughts and feelings from those of others, because you need to experience them in order to fully understand who you are. This is important when the rest of the world is continually putting thoughts and feelings into your head.

In addition to these tips, it will also be helpful to reach out to elder empathic people because they understand what you are going through and can teach you how to manage both your abilities and your reaction to them. But consult an empath only if you are sure she is skilled at managing their empathy, because they will be able to explain the whys and wherefores, and because in order to give you advice, another empath must have enough control over her abilities so that she doesn’t get sucked into the emotions which you are receiving and broadcasting.

Learning how to handle psychic empathic powers is important because it is the first step in a long journey of realizing the full potential of your gifts. And in order to make the most of your abilities, you first have to gain the control and confidence that come from knowing your gift belongs to you. In time, there will be occasion to put your psychic empathy to good and rightful use, and you will feel comfortable and capable in the knowledge that you know how to handle it.

Types of Tarot Spreads

admin — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 00:38:20 +0000

Tarot Cards have been used for hundreds of years around the world to reach a person’s inner self. Tarot cards give us a chance to reveal our true thoughts, usually thoughts that are pushed from the forefront of our minds because they are unpleasant and we do not want to confront them. Different types of questions have different types of answers, henceforth, different ways of answering those questions. These different ways are called Spreads, and are literally the way the cards are spread out on the table in front of you.

The Five Card Spread

This spread is used to determine the correct course of action. The layout is five cards in the shape of a plus sign.

Card 1 – (center) Present, general theme

Card 2 – (west) Past influences

Card 3 – (east) The future

Card 4 – (south) Reason for asking the question

Card 5 – (north) Potential for gain or loss

The Celtic Cross Spread

Also the most common and most revealing spread available, it is the most complicated to lay out and to interpret. It is used for a variety of questions and problems, but is most commonly used to answer complex questions with many outcomes. The layout starts off as the five card spread, with one extra card laid on top of the center card. There is also a line of four cards lined end to end off to the east side of the cross.

1 – (center) The present

2 – (center, on top) Immediate challenge, usually a very difficult obstacle

3 – (east) Foundation, distant past

4 – (south) Recent past

5 – (north) Best possible outcome

6 – (west) Immediate Future

7 – (bottom of line) Inner feelings and factors affecting the situation

8 – (one up from bottom of line) External influences

9 – (one down from top of line) Fears and hopes revolving around the situation

10 – (top of line) Final outcome. If ambiguous, draw three more cards to clarify.

The Ellipse Spread

The ellipse spread is another variation that can be used to answer direct questions. This one would be about middle of the road as far as complex questions go. Lined up in the shape of a V, with the fourth card being in the middle, it will travel southeast before it travels back up in a northeast direction in a sequential order (1-7).

1 – Past influences that are now part of the situation

2 – Present influences acting on you at the time of the reading

3 – Future influences that will have bearing

4 – Direction, telling you your course of action

5 – External influences that can affect the situation

6 – Fears and hopes about the question or outcome

7 – Final result, how it will end

Remember to stay calm during a reading, and to fully explore yourself when experiencing a reading. With these basic Types of Tarot Spreads, a few basic and complex answers can be attained. There are many more Types of Tarot Spreads that can be learned in books, online, videos, or personal mentors.
