I discovered today I am a psychic sponge. This is different than being a psychic vampire. A psychic vampire drains the energy from another either conscious or unconsciously. A psychic sponge feels the energy of those around him/her. This can be a good or bad thing. If the energy is uplifting, this can be a great experience. If the energy is "heavy," or negative, it can be very draining or overwhelming system.
I've always been one of those people that everyone comes to ask for information, help, directions and listen to their problems. I draw these people to me everywhere I go. I used to think I had a sign on my forehead that said "Help Desk." I can be in an unfamiliar city and I will be the one people stop to ask for help. Where ever I've worked, I could have hung a shingle outside my office and charged for therapy. I don't mind it except when people start to take advantage of my good nature.
I'm a great listener. I don't know where I got this skill but it had benefited me all my life. It's especially great in interviews - I hardly have to talk at all. Maybe I should have been an investigative reporter.
I used to be able to deflect the negative vibes around me fairly easily. Working in the hospital broke down a lot of my defenses. When left the hospital environment, I was able to build up my defenses but after being bombarded and attacked over and over (I mean emotionally and psychically), I was left completely open and vulnerable. I've become even more sensitive over the last year. I'm beginning to learn how to block the negative energy and ground myself. Sometimes I just have to separate myself from the oofenders. Of course when I'm around positive, happy people - bring it on!
As I learn more about this phenomenon, I'll share.
As always,
TOO
