Hello, Posters. Thanks for taking the time to read another installment in my Informational Series. As I've said in my last article, I will be discussing how to put up a barrier that can help you sort out emotions due to the emotions you pick up from Empathy.

This is a pretty basic barrier (the first barrier I learned, a looong time ago), but it will require you to use a bit of focus and some visualization. Once you practice it for a while, it sort of becomes something you can hold up with little effort-- almost subconsciously.

Visualization:

Visualizing Emotion as Symbols:

When I was taught this barrier, I was told to visualize emotions as symbols. Of course, one must remember that when it comes to Empathy, you really only care about 2 things: whether the emotion is positive or negative. Of course, sorting out your own emotions from others' is pretty important, too.

As I stated, the general types of emotion you want to look for are positive and negative. Positive meaning uplifting emotions and negative meaning emotions that bring you down.

Think of what symbols represent the words 'positive' and 'negative'. The easiest symbols I think of come from mathematics. The plus and minus signs. These signs are also present in science (electrons and protons), so essentially you could visualize negative emotions as electrons and positive emotions as protons.

This process really makes it easier to focus on what you're doing and it can increase the effectiveness of the barrier. Until you can put this barrier up and maintain it with no effort, I would recommend that beginners use visualization as a key component.

Le Barrier:

The friend who taught me this barrier said the easiest way to do it was to visualize a bubble surrounding me. She then told me to use light energy to surround the 'walls' of the barrier. The idea of this process was to create a comforting protectant against negativity.

Of course, if you are partial to another type of energy, you may use that. I know some people are a bit 'allergic' to light energy. >.> Whatever makes you feel comfortable and keeps the barrier up.

Applying the Barrier to the Emotions:

This is a big part of where visualization will help you. Refer back to how I described how to make the emotions into symbols. Negative emotions as minus signs or electrons and positive emotions as plus signs or protons.

You should also remember the barrier, as it is important to keep the icky emotions that aren't yours out and the good ones in.

I will explain this further when I describe how the barrier works, but just remember that you need to visualize the barrier itself and the emotions intertwining in what you visualize.

 

Application:

By this point, you should have visualized both the barrier and the emotions. You should also have programmed (programming= willing energy to do something) the barrier to keep positive emotions, as well as your own, within the barrier.

-While you work with the energy you have constructed your barrier out of, use visualization to help guide your energy to push out the negative emotions (minus signs/electrons) outside of the barrier.

-If you have constructed a stable barrier and have the process learned, you should begin to feel a feeling of relief. You should also be able to differentiate your feelings from others'.

-While pushing negative emotions (minus signs/electrons) out, the energy you have constructed your barrier out of should keep the positive emotions (plus signs/protons) inside your bubble. This energy is reverted back to yourself, so you should also will the barrier to absorb the positive emotions (plus signs/protons); it will feed your emotional state back into an uplifted state.

 

That's about the jist of the barrier. I can say from experience that this barrier is a lifesaver if you are very sensitive to the Empathy ability. As soon as I learned this, I was able to go into crowds and other places, such as the gawd-awful Walmart, without feeling stressed and annoyed.

Things really make a difference to Empaths when the emotions of others are lifted off the shoulders. If you have any questions about the application of the barrier, feel free to ask them in the comment section.

Thanks for reading.
