Have you ever visited a historical battlefield or centuries-old town and felt an inexplicable chill, restlessness, or a sense of heaviness in the air? Places like Gettysburg, Pennsylvania — the site of one of the bloodiest battles in the American Civil War — are rich in history, emotion, and memory. For some, visiting these places offers a fascinating peek into the past. But for others, it can stir up discomfort, insomnia, emotional overwhelm, or even spiritual encounters they can't explain.

Guide to Empathetic Psychics: Meaning, Test, and More 

During the holidays we are often thrown into situations with people we normally avoid. For example, if you have someone in your social sphere that is a master manipulator; hopefully, you are onto their game and usually avoid them. Master Manipulators, sadly, worm their way into most people’s lives at one time or another. They particularly seem to be attracted to empaths. An  empath’s natural ability and desire to help others often makes them an easy target for exploitation. 

The holiday season is upon us. There may be lots of exposure to social events where you will probably be mingling with lots of people and combinations of people that are not usually around you. If you are an empath, this could be problematic.

Empaths seem to absorb energy like a sponge soaks up water. People are attracted to empaths because they seem to have the ability to lighten the load for others. Unfortunately, this may increase their personal energy load, causing them experience a psychic short circuit.

There are several ways to protect your empathy. Empathy is the ability to pick up on other people’s and animal’s energy. It is a gift and it is a strength to have empathy. It is one of the first ways one can start to learn their psychic abilities. The only issue with being an empathic is it’s hard to shake some energies and some energies can have a negative effect.
