greetings sister,

i hope this communication finds you in the best of health and spirits.
i love your energy, so i will respond to your query.

i do think of myself as an empath, although i did not realize this until relatively late in the game. now, with all the energy shifting to the planet for the last twenty ears, i feel so wide open that seclusion and being distant has been my modus operandi and defense mechanism for not knowing what to do about these sensations, impressions, and feelings that i would get. i suppose my first conscious awareness of this ability happened when i went to take care of some records for my children at the health department. i had stopped immunizing my children and needed to get a religious waiver exemption form. during this time, people were not as reception to waivers as they are now. this woman seemed to take it personally that i needed to get these forms. she was so unhelpful and rude, i was offended and concerned to the point (and this is not usually like me) i felt a strong need to talk to her supervisor. i mean, i got back home and thought and thought and i said, i'm going to call her supervisor, so i called. well the person who answered the phone was the very lady who was rude. i explained my problem as though i was not aware it was her and asked for the supervisor.. she wanted to know what the problem was, and i sensed a little nervousness, so explained that i had come down there to see about my children's forms and got really put out by the way i was treated. as she began explaining how she wasn't familiar with that department, blah, blah, blah, all of a sudden i got a clear visual of her and where i thought she was an older woman i realized she wasn't old. in my mind's eye i looked at her shrinking form, at her thin body and especially her eyes, and i saw that she was sick. suddenky i knew she had womb problems, huge fibroids that were sucking the goodness and sweetness from her body and spirit, leaving her drained and bitter, and very afraid. this fear, self-disgust, misery and isolation had permeated every aspect of her personality until she could not tell where she left off and the symptoms of her dis-ease began. she had an issue of blood, and had been dealing with it for a while, she had no one really to care for her, and when you have womb trouble, chronic womb trouble, you want someone to care about you, to be right there for you. and she had no one. so i talked to her for a while, my voice soothing, i had made my point, there was no need to get her in trouble so i never talked to the supervisor. so this was the first recognized empathetic experience although there have been others before i just didn't know what i was doing. it was like i felt her, i did not feel sorry for her, i was inside her for a little while and i felt her pain it was like she was crying on the inside and had been for a while. i feel this way very often, more and more, i wonder if my sensitivity has led to certain embarrassing ocd that keeps me so self conscious i do not keep in touch with friends and family that i isolate myself, it is an isolation of my own making, which makes me feel even guilty. i want to overcome these hang ups and use my spiritual gifts, for the stifling, disguising, ignoring, and covering up of these gifts is sickening my own self and creating unhappiness. i can sense dis-eased wombs and reproductive systems, mental disorders, bowel trouble, and emotional trauma. sometimes i get a vision, a flash of experience, mostly it is a strong feeling, almost like a calling. i have been called a witch before and i allowed that label to hurt me and make me afraid of my true self. if i am a witch, i did not know i was one, but i know i am something more than ordinary and this power grows everyday, especially if someone asks me what is what, what do i feel about this, what do i see for them,i can also sense the approach of death, not accidental death a premonition but more like one plus one equals two, you keep doing this, this is what is going to happen and its going to happen sooner than later.
