The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I think it would be interesting to know what kinds of things people can do.

Did you just discover that you had this power or was it something you had to work on over time and build up to?


I ask because I've always been able to feel the feelings of others. I never knew what it was exactly till a friend told me that he thought I was an empath. I've not had a lot of experience with such things and at first dismissed it. I would like to hear others thoughts on this as well?

Well, no one told me I was an empath. And here, I grew up thinking that all weird people were insane and should be in the loony bin. I "feel" things yes, and its uncontrollable. Emotions, maybe, or just the general mood of the surroundings. I think it's quite normal and many people/beings actually have this ability... It'sjust that not all are aware to the same extent... It's life. We all communicate in some way to each other, and maybe the feelings, emotions are easily picked up by some.

Oh yes I understand that too. I've been able to 'feel' and pick up on things from other people. This makes it extremely difficult for me to be in crowded places for very long because it gets very overwhelming. Especially when the emotions being emitted are extremely strong. With some people, I'm more in tune with (like my family and a few friends) so I can deal with being around them for a lot longer and okay but people I'm not familiar with, it gets to be too much. Sometimes if it gets too overwhelming, I will actually begin to shake a bit. About that time I have to leave right away and get to somewhere where there's no people around and calm myself down. Being touched by anyone tends to make it a little more powerful, so I'm kind of wary of people's touch.
Even though I've always had this all my life, it's only recently started to become more powerful to an extent since about my junior year of high school (about five years ago). I've been trying to learn to control it a little more so I won't go into 'panic' mode as I like to call it when I get too overwhelmed, but it is hard.

I was 4 and yes i do remember I seen things that weren't there and i could hear them scared ell out of me

wasn't till older that i was old what was happing now i did have to train self to not be over powered by a lot and turn it off at times.. learned to control it more

all in all I'm glad i was young just became a part of me but hard to make friends

when i was in the 4th grade i would have dreams of what happened the next day then everything the next day would come true and now i have feelings bad and good feelings or feel like someone is gonna visit me i dunno i guess im wierd

My cousin was born an empath and is so sensitive that his whole family is aware and cautious around him. I am not an empath but have always "picked up" others feelings. What I mean by that is that if someone is sad I become very sad, if someone is mad and trying to start a fight I get mad and agitated. It is extremely frustrating when I am out in public and there is a large crowd. I don't know where or why my cousin and I have these abilities but we just do. Now as for a learned ability my dad and granddad taught me a form of astral projection called moon walking. It was something Native Americans did and I can actually "visit" my family. There was one time I visited my grandpa at night while I lived in Va and he was in Idaho. I was upset and remember just sitting at his feet crying. The next day he called and told me to talk to him about what was wrong. My older brother has used this ability to check on me because he too lives in another state. He told me one time exactly what I had been doing the night before. Reading in my bed around 130 in the morning with one of my aunts dogs in bed with me at my feet. A little odd but helpful thing to be able to do.

i dont happened to be empathic,
but i have found that i have an uncanny ability for bad luck that seems to get worse with age, now its getting to the point that places i shop end up failing, friends that i go and see end up in the hospital or dead.

I have been able to feel when spirits are around me as well as peoples feelings. Most of the time it feels like a family member or friend that has moved on just stopping by to check in on me and let me know that he/she is there. I can feel when someone is mad, sad, or whatever the mood is and help as much as i can.


It is very possible to have emapth abilities. I think that everyone is emapthic to some degree it is just shown more in some.

alot of times i know whats going to happen before it dose sometimes days ahead

copied from another thread I posted too which is all but the same as this one :-)

my wife and I run a spiritual development circle at our home once a week, we are both clairsentient (sense spirit) Clairaudient (hear spirit) and clairvoyant (see spirit) but eahc to varying degree's.

It is possible for anyone to develop their spiritual awareness and SS has really hit home the importance of starting the process at the right level of attunement. You really cannot run with this until you have learnt to walk but that said, everyone develops differently, some more quickly than others.

The biggest danger I have found is with those who develop well and then become complacent with that and do not continue developing; they let their egos take over and cease to learn, if you do this it can have the opposite effect.

Meditation is the key without this you can only develop so far and it is harder for some than others too, some find visualisation hard, I have that problem but in time and with practice you shall crack it, nothing in life is free and to tread a path of spirituality is a very worthwhile experience but its also hard work

i've always been able to feel the mood of people and that just creeps me out some times but it is what i was born with

well winter Ive known you awhile :) but I have an ability to channel and work energy it isnt great as far as I know because it scares me a bit..... I have used it on a skeptic or two in my time and made them believers.....Its usually small stuff for I dont know my limits and have tended to not mess with it much for i dont wish to wreak an unknown havoc LOL

Well I don't know if I would call it a empath but I can feel the pain of animals and people , i feel it so real As if it were my own pain ,Some times I can hardly stand it and at rare times I can tell when something is wrong or someone is in trouble ,I dont Like it and I don't talk about it.

Well i can feel spirits but if i block it out it takes work to get it back to where it was!

Empathy is both good and bad to posses.
It can be a great advantage when others try to use you, but you also need to learn to block negative emotions from others that can harm you.
Always trust your gut instincts, regardless of those doubts that creep into your mind tellling you the opposite.
Go with your first gut feeling and stick to it.

I do remember when I was younger alot of weird things happened to me. Most of it would be ghostly experiences and also strange dreams. Also one of my dreams I have never forgotten that I have once dreamed about biting someone and i tasted blood and also felt myself puncturing skin but when I awoke there were no bites at all on me.

I was told to research what an empath is by a friend after I told her of my problems. I had been diagnosed with anxiety and depression by counsellors etc and constantly medicated for it. But I was never able to be cured.

So I did as my friend suggested and I did a ton of research on what an Empath is. The first site I came across I had a resounding YES booming in my head and strangely enough relief.

Once I learned more and learned how to protect myself and control the ability I was then able to teach others and help guide them on their path.

I'm not an empath myself but I've always had the ability to just look at someone at know at a glance what they are like such as good, bad, sad, happy etc

I'm not sure if that's any special ability or just a natural observation of body languange and gut instict? On the other hand, I regularly have pre-cog but in flashes that are not really usefull for any practical purpose and I have a tendancy to shock people literally while shaking hands, passing something to them etc

I get a headache even a nose bleed and if I've been wound up all hell breaks loose. Like most I don't tell many because they just think you have lost the plot unless I show them and then they shut up.
Like most drinking calms me down. *Grinz.

I think we all have the ability to do extraordinary things-some are just more developed than others; for instance, I might walk into a room and feel nothing, whereas another might feel a presence that cannot be seen. I read people fairly well, often in a matter of seconds, and if its bad news I'm gone. Later, after calling me judgemental, a friend might discover that what I originally assesed is true. We all do this.
