As an Empath, I am sure that you occasionally experience draining, exhausting, and hard-to-deal-with spells of overflowing emotions. We build up the energies that we are surrounded by, and this can sometimes be really overwhelming. For me, I get withdrawn and panicked when I am around too many people for too long. It leaves me feeling like I’ve become out of touch with myself, and oftentimes have a hard time getting her to return to me! So, inspired by some asks I have received regarding this topic, I felt compelled to create a list of things to try. Keep in mind that not all of these will work for every person, but I hope that you take with you some inspiration all the same! Without further ado, here are some of my own tips for those with empathetic abilities:

1). Keep notice of your physical health. I know it sounds a bit silly, but something as simple as keeping hydrated can be such a game-changer! If you notice yourself feeling especially drained and emptied of your own emotions, drinking lots of water can be the first step to regaining your own feelings. ♡

2). Take a moment away from the crowd. Have you ever felt especially over (or under) whelmed in regards to your emotions while being surrounded by others? This tends to happen to me a lot and, judging from my own experiences, excusing yourself for a few minutes is very healthy. I often feel a “build-up” of everyone else’s vibes becoming my own, and it leaves me feeling very unlike myself and especially distant. Take some time to be alone in the restroom or to go outside - take deep breaths, ten being your goal. Close your eyes. Center yourself. Gently pinch your skin, squeeze your own wrist, hold yourself. Allow yourself to come back to reality, and to become one again with your own senses. ♡

3). Keep track of your own emotions. As empaths, we obviously encounter so many different styles of basic emotions - we experience unique forms of sadness, happiness, or dread. Why not begin keeping track of what makes *you* feel certain ways? Start a special journal for your emotions. If you are around a certain individual, in a certain place, etc and experience heightened happiness, panic, love, discomfort, what have you… Write it down. Keep track of what makes you feel what. Try your best to notice patterns, and to avoid people, places, or things that leave you feeling negatively, all while welcoming the ones that do not. 😌🙏🏻

4). Practice grounding or shielding. Visualizing methods are not for everyone, but for some, they can very positively influence your state of mind! Take some time alone to meditate and manifest your own personal method of visualization. This could be imagining a golden light surrounding you, acting as a protective shield from others’ vibrations. It could be coming up with a special mantra that you repeat in your head during times of feeling overwhelmed: “I am here… I am real… My feelings are valid, and they are my own.” Practice this technique until you experience draining in real-time, and test our your method during such instances. ♡

Recently received this message. Let me be perfectly clear: I will not help you bypass someone’s consent. Manipulating someone into having sex with you, magically or physically, is RAPE. This isn’t even one of those sketchy love spell questions, this is a grown man asking how to get “any girl” to give him “passion and sex.”

So instead of a sigil, how about a curse?

Curse the Perve This curse will only work on those who are truly slimy, scumbags. This is for all of the penis carrying population that feel entitled to other people’s bodies. This won’t work unless they are genuinely deserving of this.

What you will need •a banana •a knife •red pepper flakes •black thread •somewhere to bury the banana after you’ve finished

Peel a banana and leave the peel about a quarter on. Take your knife and cut the banana length wise from center to the exposed tip. Place some of the red pepper flakes into the cut. Now, cut half an inch down from the center horizontally. Sever the banana completely, but make sure that the two halves lengthwise are still connected by about half an inch or so. Encrust the banana in red pepper flakes. As you do, use your intent to make the perpetrator’s penis burn anytime they even think of violating someone. Imagine them writhing in pain from the burn. After the banana is completely covered in red pepper flakes, place it back with the other half. You can carefully carve sigils with more of your intent into the peel, but this is not necessary. Pull the banana peel back over the whole thing and tie the tips with the black thread. Bind the banana in the black thread. As you wrap the thread around the banana, think of how you are binding this perpetrator from doing harm to others. Once the binding is done, bury the banana.
