Hi VJ
Thank you for joining me here.
I guess there are many ways to describe us, HSP (highly sensitive people) and ES (emotionally sensitive) in my thinking would be in the same classification, that being said, each and everyone of us are different and so regardless of the name we chose to call it, its the effect that is the most important.

I do find the term “empath” fascinating, as being an empath you know all too well you are affected by other people’s “energies”. Thus this gives you an innate ability to intuitively feel and perceive others. These energies also unconsciously influence your’ desires, wishes, thoughts, and moods.

Being HPS/ES in my belief automatically gives you what would be described as “Emphatic” abilities and I would be happy to explain why I believe that to be. But can I first disclose something that I feel is important. Having travels to 31 countries on a pursuit of understanding “Beliefs” I discovered 2 major things…..One, they are extremely powerful to those that “believe” and two there are as many beliefs in this world as there are opinions. One persons or cultural belief is not necessary another’s but like opinions everybody has the right to theirs.

The reason I say this is to answer your “techniques and methodology” question….have I tried EFT, there are tribes in Africa where I visited that use different EFT’s for not just healing, but to “speak to” their deity. In Madagascar, EFT’s are believed to heal cancer and other serious aliments. In the jungles of Cambodia EFT’s are believed to ward of evil spirits and Thailand and Myanmar a form of EFT is used to bring calm and peace to ones mind by allowing the internal energy to pass from one side of the body to the other.

I am sure there are many more applications where EFT’s are used and each and every time I see the use of them and ask “why” the answer boils down to the same…..the people applying it…believe it works.

As for any other healing techniques, I am not too sure I can honestly answer that correctly as I truly believe there is nothing to heal. Now if you were to ask me if I have discovered tools to use in my defense on emotional sensitivity, well the answer would be yes, a great many. As mentioned earlier, ES people like me have, what I believe very clear indicators of their ability. One of them is when the mind races so fast, that when you close your eyes it seems as if a million pictures flash through your mind. This event is like a super computer searching for a specific topic or image without knowing what it is looking for. Controlling it takes practice but is achievable. Some might call it mediation, but it is not, for meditation allows the mind to wonder and that is the complete opposite to what I need to do. I have created an image in my mind, one that allows me to focus on it while lacking any detail. Its a flame of a candle. Not the candle, just the flame on a black back ground.

Closing my eyes, I concentrate on that flame as the barrage of images flood my mind. at first the flame is barely seen, but after a few minutes forcing it to come to the surface, all other images and thoughts vanish and I am left with only the flame. It is from there that I can then think clearly and rationally, bringing into focus my thoughts and my feelings.

But of course, I have yet to discover something I can do that would provide the same results while in a social gathering, clearly sitting in a room full of people who know nothing of ES with my eyes closed and in a trance like state would question my “sanity” in their eyes.

Oh and VJ. drinking Chicha from the jungle tribes in the Amazon to allow one to speak to the spirits……yea, messes with your thoughts in a big way!….no hang over though!

Please, do share with me your techniques as I am in constant learning!
