Empathy

   Empathy and Sympthy sound the same, but have to different meanings. Sympathy is when you show sympthy to someone, and are saddened by what they are going through. Let's say a friend's brother died. Empathy is when you feel their pain as if you were the one who lost your own brother. Some people have this part of this ESP (extra sensatory perception).

    The feeling of Empathy can be good and can be scary. Feelings of happiness can be good, but dark feelings from another and you pick them up can be scary. To have your own feelings pushed aside and have someone else's take over is a sense of no control over yourself.

    How do you control empathy? Well, in terms, you can't. However, there are ways you can protect yourself from getting "bad waves" or "bad vibrations". As a very nice lady told me on IRC (SisMoon), that an amethyst stone can help cut back on the vibrations so they are not too strong. A protection spell for your empathy and good "mental health" can be done once in a while. Be creative and think of one on your own, once you have the idea - the trick of magick shall come easy.

    You can be right next to the person or miles and miles and miles away, only connected by Internet or telephone you can feel their emotion. Emotions are powerful, emotions can have a life of their own. Sometimes as people we must control our emotions and not let them control us.
