Glad to help JohnCreed777. I specialize in understanding these gifts, and have had to do much of my own research. It is my pleasure to see you well on your way. I have had many teachers, and enjoy passing on ways to harness what is coming natural to us, the misplaced "spirituals, shamans, and holy-spirits". aka "You're a Wizard Harry" or "Use the Force Luke."

If you have the patience, or wish to gain more patience, you can also follow up with Solfeggio Music for Chakra Meditation. Research those as well, they have their roots in ancient Judaism, Christianity, and Hinduism. These things in this paragraph will help you clean your natural talents and refine them.

Very Happy for you!

Well, my parents have two labs that I grew up with, one of which I became very attached to. I know I can communicate with him because I always knew what he wanted, he often gets depressed after I leave. My friend has a cat that is quite fond of me, I always know what he wants and cats are harder to understand.

Luckily I can elaborate a bit on the moon subject. Lets see, I believe it either Dec 2009 or Jan 2011, I currently had a facsination with human behavior and hence was studying the effects the moon has on the human brain. I saw a lunar chart that said there would be a "super moon" the next week. Curious I looked it up, a super moon is slightly larger than your average full moon. However I just looked it up again and NASA's website said there wasn't one in 2009 or '10 which is strange because I was %100 sure, anyhow it did say there was a lunar eclipse on Dec. 20th 2009.

Anyhow whatever happened changed me somehow. It was my senior year in highschool, I went to school after the event and over the coarse of a few days I started to noticed changes within, It was sensing a change the way you would sensing a cold coming on. It got stronger and I started to noticed I just "knew" how people felt, and had a pretty general idea of what they were thinking. I tried it on a few people, I told them it was magic trick so i didn't sound crazy. Skeptical that anything would come of it, I was shocked when they asked me how I knew. Even as they said it I could sense that they were apprehensive, curious, nervous and creeped out but yet intrigued. I thought I had entered the twilight zone, after all I was raised as a skeptic towrds that sort of thing. Since then I live a fairly normal life, the ability has proven to be a curse at times. Part of the ability is naturally you know when someones lying, making one a walking lie detector, it's costed me a few friendships but at least no one knows the truth.

Now that I think of it I may have had it my whole life, it may have been very subtle. Then the moon or some other event may have kicked the spark. Alas, to answer your question; i'm not sure that you can become one. However the human mind is capable of incredible feats, we are all capable of abilities, it just takes alot of effort, time, and practice. Nonetheless i'd heed a warning to you, if you have the ability. You'll be able to recognize and feel all emotions. When someone hates you you'll know, when someones relative dies and they hide it you'll be the one to feel the grief. Sometimes it appears as if you are a syphon to peoples negative emotions, maybe it helps them, i'm not sure. All I know is it never goes away, and it could possibly make your life a living hell. Personally I would choose Psychokinesis.

Thank you, it is much appreciated I shall conduct some research and I'll definately have to look up the solfeggio music.

Ignorant question but I want to know.

Is there a way to become an empath?

Not an ignorant question at all, smyleegr, and I personally do not know of anyone not born with the basic ability who was able to develop it, but that's just me and it's not a topic I ask alot of people about. I share this information with VERY few people because I have had occassions where others who sensed it used it against me. Remember, we're not talking about reading others' thoughts (which i can't do) but experiencing their feelings (or as i believe, their energy frequency).

Now there's a difference between having intuition, which I believe we're all born with, being an empath or being an energy worker (a person, usually an empath, who can actually manipulate the energy they feel eminating off of a person or object). People often confuse the three.

Have you ever had the experience where you met someone and was automatically either drawn or repelled by him/her or something deep down inside said "stay away from that person" without any feasible reason for feeling that way? That's usually intuition but I believe there's a very thin line between the two. Intuition would tell you that something doesn't feel right about the person (or location or situation) but those with empathetic capabilities would know the reason because you innately know the person's feelings and therefore the reasons and/or intensions surrounding the feelings. We are all born with intuition and lose it, to a degree, as we get older and the stress of everyday life and the insecurities we develop take hold. Intuition is always there, but unless you've made a conscious decision to always listen to it, it's easy for it to get lost in all the other static.

Being an empath can be either a wonderful or dreadful thing. For many years when I was very young, I didn't understand the intense feelings I couldn't relate to and it did cause me to retreat and become scared of everyday life. It wasn't until I was older and learned how to protect myself from allowing others' feelings to take me to a bad place (or even realize that they weren't my own feelings) that I was able to control the emotional effect and channel it for good purposes.

I myself was born with empathetic capabilities (my father recognized them when I was no more than three years old) but perhaps someone who has learned how/if developing these abilities is possible can provide you with more info. I know this doesn't exactly answer your question but I hope it provides you with some interesting information.

Timidgal also has a finger on the pulse of this, she has valuable references of how it works from what I can see here. It is indeed a bit of a curse, but the insights are such a blessing. Your instincts will guide you, and never stop learning, the more references to learn from the better.

The number 1 rule in dealing with your ability is to stop thinking its not happening and start believing.

what is a "super moon" and what planet did you see that on?

reply to post by dayve


It's a lunar phenomenon where the moon passes closer to the earth than usual, thus causing it to appear larger and have a greater impact on the earth, tides etc. Also I saw it on this peculiar green and blue planet called earth. I traveled there in my flying saucer, it's inhabitants look like hairless monkeys.

Hmm...ok. So you have learned to become more perceptive of your surroundings and apparently have an uncanny ability to spot deer poop.

I'm still not sure I am following exactly what it is you're concerned with in this thread. Becoming more perceptive to things around you would make for being a good spy, politician or poker player.
Learning how to spot poop from afar is a good quality for being an ATS member.,....

Just something interesting I may have discovered. I took some advice from Matthewgraybeal, and attempted to find out my spirit animal/ guide, unfortunately I don't know how to meditate. However I tried another option of recalling a certain animal i've always felt some sort of a connection to. Wolf, I believe it may be my spirit animal, it would make sense, if I could be any animal it'd be a wolf. When I was a kid I always wanted to be a wolf, I always hoped werewolves were real so I could be one. Of all the animals in the world, the wolf has always been the one I have felt the stongest bond with. So to answer your previous question of if I was sensing the prey or predator, perhaps it was the predator. Or maybe it was me and i'm a werewolf, just kidding.

I appreciate your humor, I wouldn't expect ypou to understand the topic. Unless you fall under the category it can be difficult to understand. It may not make sense but it's something that can only be understood via a firsthand experience. I've always been rather perceptive, and have always been able to see poop, in poker and in my yard. The idea delves much deeper into the unexplainable, unfortunately I am not knowledgable enough on the subject to explain it to you properly.

Actually this whole thing should have taught you that your spirit animal is a deer.
scottfoglesong.printandwebdesign.com...
Deer is a natural spirit animal for an em-path as its unconditional love is key in carving out the path for others.

May I offer, one can have many spirit animals. Especially in different seasons, or when a certain goal needs to be accomplished. I ask for the strength of "blah" animal, to help me with "blah". I use Jesus for most. Because you guys will love this, He is The LION of Judah!

I know...Right? There is Shamanism in Christianity, it's just not really popular.

matthewgreybeal is right on spot as one can have more than one animal spirit guide at different stages or during different experiences in life. I was once told by someone proficiently educated in Shamanistic beliefs that our animal spirit guides often appear to us in our dreams, as well as within the waking world, which makes sense if you think of dreams as subconscious meditations. He asked me if there was any particular animal that I dreamed about and his next statement shocked me - he asked if I had been dreaming of any particular animal which evoked a feeling of fear within me because our animal spirit guides oftentimes are trying to teach us lessons we are reluctant to learn. Think about your dreams and in particular, whether or not you've dreamt of any animal(s) which evoked a sense of fear or reluctance. In my experience, I had been dreaming of a talking squirrel I was terrified of and when I learned the wisdom of squirrel (putting together the pieces of a puzzle, facing change and preparing for the future), it made sense relative to what was going on in my life at that time.

This is a great site if you want to learn the various animal wisdoms:

I do know sort of what you mean. I was trying to be both lightly humorous as well as really trying to understand what your post meant.
I'm glad you didn't take it the wrong way!

But I do really have some idea, I'm just not sure I totally understood the meaning of the initial post.

WOW...this is amazing. I never knew there was a such thing as an empath.

You probably have an inner strength and able to endure hardships of your own.

About the bones you kept returning to.

Try this as an experiment: Pick a favorite television show that is in re-runs. Watch one or even a couple of episodes and get into it. Wait a duration of approximately one year to come back to that show at random and see if you can find them airing the same exact episode and at the same exact spot you remembered.

If you can do this multiple times you have good senses.

I think I understand what you mean, however I best relate to music. I could listen to the song and listen to it a year later more or less and still remember where I listened to it last, what time, weather, temperature, smells. Smells and tempertatures will also remind me of other times in my life in witch I experience the same temps and smells.

I believe you and NaphraTari had good points, it appears my main spirit guide may be a deer. I took your advice and researched myself. learned quite a bit. To find my guide I used the method the native americans used, i went out to the woods and called upon my spirit guide I asked it to reveal itself to me in a unique way. Surprisingly it did just that, soon after I saw first two deer then 3 deer then finally 4. 2,3,4 a total of nine deer today was nice but it was overcast and slightly nippy. On a warm day with clear skies i'm lucky to see 4 deer, seeing 9 deer today, especially in such a pattern. So perhaps it's a deer is my spirit animal. I noticed that i seem to have more of a wolf like personality, perhaps my spirit animal is a deer as my polar opposite to create a harmonious balance within me. To keep me from swaying too far to one side. The more I observe the more it starts to make sense and the pieces fall into place. Thank ypou once again for the advice.
