You are so right about the belief to save others, and when it's let go of or lessened, so is the harmful absorption. Great advice of staying in one's own higher energy to not get pulled along with lower frequencies.

Having Joy is a super power against them! That’s why they try to attack it. Shalom

[@goldenarcher8505]

It's so good to know there are ways to stop absorbing from others

I grew up being a crystal child & now that i'm an adult my senses have intensified so bad to the point that i've become a ridiculously highly sensitive person. I can crystal clear feel others people emotions even from miles away. my auntie who shares the same abilities than me passed away so I have no one to talk to about this & I have no one to ask for advice. she taught me how to clean & recharge my energies but I have no idea how to protect myself. I'm honestly TIRED of feeling so much I just wanna be alone. I pushed everyone away because i'm tired, but deep down I know I can't be on hermit mode my entire life ): any advice would be helpful...

[@empathconnection]

Jossie, follow the inner call to get help and allow yourself to receive true help so you can get true protection (from the Divine). You do need more than 'advice.' at this point. So take one step outside your comfort zone and book a healing session with myself (or someone you trust), attend one of our classes or programs, and I can assure that you will move beyond being tired and you will never need to be in hermit mode again. Thanks so much for posting! Sending prayers! Michael www.empathconnection.com/coaching

I am now 60 and I can’t be in cities with to many people. I live in a corporate town and people are miserable. I feel all their emotions and even alone in my apartment. I am moving back to a small town and wide open spaces.

[@Awkwardlylit]

Hey, I too have lived like this. I realized I soak up my partners emotions which in turn makes me realize I soaked up my family without ever knowing it. It’s been an exhausting life especially since I feel we are also “old souls” so that is added on to being so “tired” all the stinkin time. I have learned from 20 years of being a massage therapist and now I’m doing hypnotherapy, that that white light bubble of pure unconditional love from source… is the best protection. It’s a constant “effort” to maintain it and remember to put it up and keep it there. But it works! Obsidian on your person helps. I don’t like to wear crystals or become dependent but a “helping tool” is just that. .. hope this helps! Hypnotherapy works to aid in those pesky subconscious beliefs he mentions too

[@heartwisdomlove]

get regular massages, soak in baths, get infrared saunas, feel your feelings more often, feel your feelings deeper, express your feelings more, love your feelings more, focus on your own body and your own heart and stay in the present moment as much as possible and love yourself more. also have it be okay that other people can’t relate to you or don’t understand you

[@bookwormbeautyvlogbridetob943]

Same! Just want to run away somewhere solitary

[@fabianojukwu4229]

To be honest I’m suffering too much as an empath especially as I’m still living with my parents and siblings. Every time they come around me their feelings make me feel like I’m poisoned, like there’s nothing good I’m getting from their feelings and I’m so tired and exhausted even as I’m typing this rn. I do say a prayer of like 30 to 40mins to clear these feelings away from me but me doing this every time is also exhausting. Pls Dr. Smith I would like to know these tons of ways to keep myself in a high vibrational state whenever I see myself around energy vampires, thank you! 🙏🏼

[@empathconnection]

Would love to work with you! I invite you to join me in The Empath Academy online course and ceremony. It will put an end to your suffering so that you won't be poisoned by others. It is well worth the price, so please feel invited to sign up here: bit.ly/empathacademy

[@laurewinkelmans9501]

Thank you. I can sometimes feel depressed and while I do struggle with depresssion myself, I also feel that sometimes it's someone else's burdens which take over my body in a sense. I used to be a very sensitive child with I believe psychic abilities and I always enjoyed it, but as I got older I started feeling very down through other people's low-vibrational energy and disconnecting from my higher self.

[@johngray4476]

I learned that drugs and alcohol stopped all the negative energy from others that created its own problems the next step was grounding and meditation i grew up in a spiritual environment how ever they missed my gifts

[@RussellSuereth]

Such a great presentation Michael. Your approach is clear and easy to understand, but more significant is this is an important topic that does not get enough attention. Thank you for your expertise and embracing this to help others. Well done!

[@melmelsmusicstudio1800]

This! I feel like I am being insincere if I don't give in to opp. I do work this, and made huge changes in my life. But when it's my kids, it's harder. Fix people, save people, change people, dang. Yep. You're spot on- thank you!

[@muskanjha1629]

After watching ur video I've understood what my problem is. I absorb other people's emotions and I get so indulged in it that I no longer feel my own emotions. I absorb others energy and loose my own. I need to keep my own vibrations high and get rid of those unconscious believes that makes me feel guilty

[@michelledryden4378]

WOW! I listened for about 2 mins and subscribed. Thank you, thank you- your knowledge is so clear and easy to understand- maybe il survive this life journey with peace instead of chaos from others.🤗

[@prisca5]

Same here

[@simplythebest616]

This video HIT the nail on the head.

[@epicrango1911]

I don't have problem until I feel other love emotions and think some one love me 😅😅

[@vatrinafaudree3005]

OMG!! You just did it again!! You totally hit the nail on the head in the videos you've posted this week with things that are going on in my life right now & I'm going through. You're so spot on that I'm beginning to wonder if you're spying on me LOL (jk). Again, thank you for posting. Sending you my good vibes of love & happiness

[@sandraw2266]

Thank you so much for this video. I’ve started this spiritual journey working with the angels for 21 days (it’s a book i bought) so now more psychic abilities have been prominent and going through that . So then i thought i was going nuts until i realized that I’m actually absorbing other peoples energy and keeping it. Today i was calm and all a sudden i felt this anxiety out of no where and I’m like why do i feel like this what the heck lmao then the hubby calls me and tells me how chaotic work is and he’s having a melt down of anxiety i asked was it within the past hour he goes yes so now the light bulb went off that i say has been a “thing” for the last few weeks i feel like I’m feeling not just him but other ppl I’m close with so now it’s like wow all this time i really was confused but then after understanding energy and etc I’m trying to find a way to not “keep” the energy it is so annoying and draining at times . Also having the conscious awareness of when it’s my own energy or something else i now know. This has helped thank you!

[@empathconnection]

So glad it's helping and thank you for sharing your experiences and story. Very valuable! Glad you're learning to let go of energy that isn't yours!

[@lifeisreal5878]

Hello Michael great video. Any ideas on how not to absorb energy from 6000 miles away etc. Knew when someone close to me died etc. Jolted out if bed at specific time when she passed. Thanks.

[@empathconnection]

Thank you so much for sharing Alistair! Absorbing energy is a complex process and you can learn to eliminate it's destructive influence once the underlying mechanisms that 'cause' it are addressed. If you truly want to stop the absorption process, take the Empath Academy, my 5 week online group course. Your experience will be forever changed for the better and you mostly won't have issues with that anymore once the class is done. www.empathconnection.com/empath-academy - thank you for sharing!

[@odamidtaune4913]

Wow, this is so interesting! I am working on try to keep my vibration high around other low frequencies, especially family. It is hard though. I would love some advice and coaching here.

[@empathconnection]

[@Kingkaitalks]

I need to fix this this is one of the few things I struggle with really deeply it messes with how I commonicate with others

[@Iamawesomelovedandblessed444]

People project their crap on you both conciously and unconsciously also try to cord you to steal energy i find purification cord cutting grounding and shielding also meditation self care strong boundaries and a whole lotta self love and healing help tremendously ❤

[@DavidAKZ]

Cord you ?

[@haihai5293]

Thank You.

[@thecollectivemessenger303]

This is the most honest answer I’ve ever heard of. Thank you. The answer is always within ourself . It really does feel like a wave of energy hitting me sometimes. And then it feels like peoples needs are tugging on me which in reality, I’m wanting to be the answer to peoples needs. Thank you!

[@matildefranzanti5297]

Junk food and social media... God. Thank you.

I absorb energy from anyone im around, driving down the road, walking through the store, anywhere. I need help.

[@empathconnection]

Hi Lisa, I would love to help, thanks so much for sharing! The Empath Academy, our 5-week online course will help you stop absorbing energy by 80-90%. We would love to have you! Learn more at www.empathconnection.com/empath-academy

[@I-Am-Prosperous-I-Am-Grateful]

Say this before driving, or before interacting with orhers(mentally or aloud): "My energy belongs to me only, and their energy belongs to them only, and so it is."

[@robertlane5859]

I say the same thing everyday before driving in Houston it’s very effective

[@FUNNYMANERICWHITE]

Thanks

[@Missmer796]

Wow

[@cjrideson]

Good.

[@ahmeddiiriye4624]

Iam Empath My biggest problem is my mother talking her in the phone and absorbing her energy and stuck in my body i dont know what to do can someone tell me what should i do

[@empathconnection]

Being grounded is the biggest antidote to absorbing this energy. The energy of the Earth will take it from you. There are many ways to do this, physical movement, good diet, and being in nature being top 3 ideas. Thanks for sharing!

[@user-ud3xp6sh5e]

When i was qaiting for the bus i noticed that there was a commotion a block away so ran to see what was going on and this womej on a bike got hit hy a car. After i was walking home that day i became so affraid of heing hit by a car and i think that was her strong emotions effecting me. It went away hut it did effect me too

[@gloriaadu5485]

Thank you so much i had a very bad year and half not knowing it i took on a friend pain trust me i have never in my life had a pain like that, she is always in pain i question my self if I got the pain from her. so i stop being around her it took some time but the pain went away.so last night i was in the present of some one who was very tired and have personal problems i came home i was so tired I had to go to bed i am a night awl so it just hit me i pick up on her energy,i have to work on that thank you

[@santasimkeviciute2056]

I need to work on this , as because of this im unable to break up from my relationships. Anytime i try i feel his pain i know how he feels and it makes me weak to do it. Its so awful

[@JamesIsnow]

Hi Deb! Perhaps.time to book a session...we will get you back on track. ♥️ You can book directly on my site here:. www.empathconnection.com/coaching

[@LidaMLira]

Hi Michael I think you are amazing! love your energy And I can see you are a very special person. I have been a healer for over 20 years I heal with the Angels but although all the healing I do I consider verifiable miracles, after I do the healing I absorb some of other persons sickness and can be up to a week feeling very sick although I only get partial of the sickness symptoms. I still don’t know what I’m doing wrong since I’m Channeling very high vibration and energies. Any recommendation would be highly appreciated. Blessings

[@empathconnection]

Lida, thanks so much for sharing! This is something that would be best addressed in a private session (or in the Empath Academy class) as I can give personalized guidance. There is almost always an underlying belief that you are carrying that makes this process worse. While some absorbing energy is normal and required simply by being an empath - if you are feeling sick for a week then there is most defintely something 'hidden' that needs to be brought to your conscious attention. I can help you identify and heal that in a session or in the Empath Academy class (twice a year), which is devoted to specifically that very topic. Follow that inner call! Thank you for sharing and sending blessings :)
