Does anyone have any ideas on how to deal with being a psychic sponge? I pick up on everyone's energy which is why I spend a lot of time alone because it makes me ill. Even when I attend a public ritual and it's so wonderful the better it is the sicker I get! Sometimes my body goes into so much pain I can't endure it. I also suffer from Fibromyalgia so it's really hard to deal with. I've tried building shields but without much success. If you have any ideas I'd be very grateful. Someone said I was a phychic vampire and I certainly am not one of those. I'm just too sensitive and I've had many psychic experiences both good and bad.

have you tried working on your boundaries? It seems that you have boundary issues and for some reason allow for energy and possibly people to walk all over you. Therefore I would strongly suggest start working on your boundaries and being firm in who you are. Step up for yourself and own and claim your power. By doing this strengthens your auric field as well as sets the intent for your progress.

I would also emphasize that you know who you are and know yourself. Set aside a certain amount of time each day in meditation and building your inner temple. Also concentrate on sending energy out to others. This will allow a more equitable exchange of energy when you are in the presence of others.

I want to thank you both for your responses. Are you talking about psychological boundries? I'm working on those. Yes, I still let people walk over me sometimes but an ugly incident happened with another woman who I thought was my friend and I did let her have it! She was completely out of line. She is a pagan I will unfortunately have to deal with at rituals. But I'll be ready for that when the time comes. I hope. And yes, I need to rebuild my inner temple. I haven't had one in a long time and I've been so busy with the course meditations. But I will take your advice and do that. I also need to work on my shields to reflect the energy back or exchange it like you said. We'll see how well Beltane goes. Thank you both again.

Psychology is very much a part of spirituality and magic, despite certain atheistic attitudes one might run into during classes. Setting psychological (and physical, if possible) boundaries, as you are working on, is a good way to reinforce your intentions/shields.
Additionally, there's a chance that your fibro is causing some or even all of these feelings that you're associating with excess psychic pressure. I have a friend with fibro who realized that certain sensations she thought were of a spiritual nature were in fact derived from her pain-she didn't realize she had fibro at the time of those sensations. It causes her issues in social situations as well.
If you haven't already, I would suggest trying to mentally work with the fibro alongside putting up shields. Inner work and stuff like that, see if you can find a way to "ride" the pain and possibly direct it.

Thank you for your response. No, the Fibro is not the cause of it because I've been very physic since I was a child and I didn't develop Fibro until about 5 years ago and I'm quite a bit older now!lol No, it is all the energy that brings on the pain. I am positive of that because it only happens in certain situations and my fibro is up and down. It's not consistent. So it's definitely the energy that is being put out. A lot of pagans and witches can really generate a lot of energy. So do certain people, some more than others. I think the sensitivity of all the energy being generated causes the fibro to act up badly. As I said, it's not consistent. I'll see how Beltane goes and let you know. Thank you very much for your input.

i have found as a fibromyalgia suffererer and a psycic/empath i have some of the same issues. i did a really powerful ritual in the woods last year that had me in horrible pain for DAYS!! i could literally barely walk, it was horrible. ive found that grounding and centering help; but sometimes it doesnt seem to matter what precautions i take. it still hurts me afterwards. sometimes i wonder if my fibro is a result of me practicing energy work etc. idk.... it is interesting to hear your similar story however, my fibro didnt come on until my 20's even tho i practiced, had been a psychic/empath etc since birth/childhood. i think i posted something somewhere about rituals causing physical afftereffects, ill look for it  blessings~ ruby rowan _________________ "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

I remember Ravenari explaining to you (Ruby) how journeying can cause physical suffering of some sort, it was on Wildspeak; is that the post you're talking about?

Dear Ruby Rowan-
I read that email about you being an empath and having similar problems. All I can say is I'm glad I'm not alone! It's a terrible pain, isn't it, and you have to be there to know what it's like - only another sufferer can understand and so far nothing has helped me. Even our monthly meetings, which are very lively cause me pain, the merrier and more energetic it is the greater the pain. I wish I had an answer but the saying holds true "misery loves company"!lol Oh, well, maybe we'll find a solution. If we do let's make sure we share it, ok? In a way I'm almost dreading Beltane and that's terrible to feel like that. I'm a psysic sponge as well. I just soak up everyone's energy and I can't seem to build strong enough shields. And when you're in this much pain, the only way to meditate, which I've found helpful, is by lying down not sitting up. You might try that. If anything, it will help put you to sleep maybe.
Blessed Be

Dear Ruby Rowan-
Relationships can do the same thing. I just got out of a short but very intense relationship with another pagan (non-sexual). His energy was so negative I was practically paralyzed, can't eat, sleep or anything. I cut the relationship off but even regular people can bring it on especially when you're that sensitive. So watch out for those as well, hon.
