Part 2: Empathy

If you have ever been in a crowd of people and felt anxious finally catching your breath when you where again alone, or felt a tinge in your own knee or finger when a child has cuts his knee or finger. If you have been with another who was feeling heartache from a lost love and your own heart began to hurt, then you have already experienced Empathy or have empathic abilities, as we all do innately.

This ability helps us sense danger and feel true love. Have you had the feeling that some ones eyes were on the back of your head, only to turn and see someone either looking at you or quickly looking away and acting shy or coy. This is an ability left to us by our cave dwelling ancestors, the ability to sense larger predators eyeing us up for a meal or someone from another tribe eyeing up our latest kill in hopes of taking it away from us. And you are actually feeling their eyes upon you. This is a fun experiment you can play with children or when bored while whiling away your time in a doctors office. See if you can get some ones attention just by looking at them. It seems especially easy with children because they have not grown up yet and been taught that such things don't exist. See how long you can stare at a child from behind before he or she turns to see you and beams you with a great big smile. It's a small reward but we take them where we can get them.

When we communicate with others we send out invisible signals. Very close lovers will always be touching each other somehow, even if it is just a knee or a finger on a hand, the touch of true love is exquisite, it is also quite addicting as many of you may know first hand. Even song lyrics say things like "I can't breathe without you." Lovers get used to the feeling of closeness of the mixing of their two fields and may literally feel out of breath when they don't feel that same closeness, as in the saying "You take my breath away." Just as any drug that we get used to when you take that drug away it will cause withdrawal. Our bodies also produce chemicals when in close proximity to a lover that make us feel good and have been linked to overall good health and well being, so hug your lover, hug your kids and hug mom and dad.

All that an empath (a person of psychic abilities that can sense another's feelings) has done is through meditation, practice, and lessons is learn to use these innate abilities in such a way as to help others. And how do they help others you ask? Well, they can help others in many many ways. They may be able to sense feelings that another may not know they have, as in the case of deep hidden anxiety. Many progressive therapists are now studying different forms of getting in touch with their patients other than just asking questions and reading body language. They may just be able to literally sense the feelings of lost love and be able to be a true listener. So many people talk everyday, but how many people actually listen. We have all ignored a really boring story someone has told us.

This is hard for an empath to do It is hard to ignore a person when you can literally feel their pain When you are listening to another's tale of woe you may actually say I can feel it.

Or as our former President Bill Clinton would say, " I can feel your pain" the truth is if he felt all of our pain he would probably be hospitalized immediately! There is just way too much pain out there. Yet this is a very useful tool in a psychics or just plain persons bag of tricks. Mothers have long been noted as being able to sense when a child is lying, this may be a carryover from the womb. Lets face it these two spent a lot of time connected to each other. A businessman may be able to sense when a client is being less than truthful or when to ask for the sale, because the client is ready to buy. I used to leaf through magazine ads when I sold video production services and when I came to a certain ad I could just feel that it was a potential sale, this used to drive my managers bonkers. They noticed it first, even before I did, "You have to touch an ad why is that", they would ask "Why can't you just pick up the phone like Jack here?" But I would invariably get the sale and prove my naysayers wrong. So they kinda left me to my own devices. This is actually advanced empathy or Psychometry and we will cover it in more detail in a future column.

To begin place your hand near your computers screen and around the back of the television monitor then pull it back about five or six inches and see if you can sense the invisible electromagnetic waves that the screen is giving off. When this is accomplished try moving within say three feet of a person and see if you can step in and out of their field. If you have a partner you could stand nose-to-nose or better yet back-to-back and take tiny steps away from each other. The first thing you will notice is the obvious body heat of another in such close proximity, but then at about 3-6 inches apart (unless you happen to be the only two people in an igloo) the warmth will dissipate, yet you will still feel that persons presence. It may tingle or even make you both giggle a little as it is something new and we all tend to giggle when we try something new that is fun. From here you can do fun things like try and guess who is on the other end of the phone before you answer it, and you can become quite good at it, especially if you do it without peeking at the caller ID. The reasoning behind this is that when a person picks up the phone to call you they are making an attempt to reach out and touch you, Just like the old AT&T jingle that Diana Ross sang " Reach out and touch somebody." So before they have even spoken to you they have made the intent to speak with you. In earlier times so much weight was placed on this that there is actually a commandment written about it. Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's wife. Covet does not mean that the act of sexual intercourse needs to be completed, the act of thinking about the act, or coveting is enough to actually break this commandment. In modern use, however, it is presumed that the actual act has been committed for this commandment to be broken.

So right before the connection is made that person actually does attempt to reach out and touch someone, and the closer the two people are to each other, meaning brother and sister, family member, or lovers, (in this case distance is not relevant, we can touch each other around the globe) the easier it will be to make the connection. How many times have you called somebody or went to call them and they were on the other end of the phone and you said something like, "I was just about to call you." This is because one or the other of you felt the intent and it triggered you to call. My own young son reports " I get awoken just before you enter my room." When I wake him up each morning for his breakfast and insulin injections. When I was dating my " Spooky" girlfriend, we used to send out pages to each other and we knew when to pick up the phone and call each other. This is getting into advanced empathy or Telepathy and it will be covered in a future column.

However a fun exercise that you can do with a partner is to schedule a mutual time that you can try and pick up on how they feel. Try and schedule a time when you can get a few moments peace and quiet, lunch in a McDonalds would probably not be a good choice, but say a mid morning coffee break or mid afternoon break when you can sit in a quiet spot, or close your office door. Set the time exactly and be sure to make adjustments for time zones so you both are doing it at the same time. Simply close your eyes and try and sense how the other person feels. This may seem awkward at first but with a little practice you will be amazed at the results. Make notes on your perceptions, and make note of your own feelings. Later you and your partner can compare notes. Special note: even if one of you can't take that exact moment, make note of your feelings at that time, the other person may still pick up on them.

Now a word of caution, You need to learn some basic protection techniques before you move beyond the basic exercises illustrated here, and we will cover them next month in part 3 aptly titled Part 3 "Protection Techniques." If you already are an advanced student and are versed in white light techniques, that would be a generally accepted protection excersize.

Well so long for now and we'll see you next month same bat time, same bat channel. Until then as my good friend Father Guido Sarducci would say Arevaderci! Well sorta good friend, um well, I really don't even know the guy but he says that so well…
