Sensitive to Loud Noises? Protection & Agoraphobia

[Ambience]

I am a natural born empath, this is how i do my psychic work and it is a gift. I feel what people are feeling but i also can sometimes see what they are expereincing due to my clairvoyance. I say natural born because from birth i was neglected and abandoned emotionally and i learnt to appreciate everything & everyone in my life so much that i feel how they feel.

I'm sensitive when i hear people in the house banging the doors around. Today iv'e felt quite alot of negativity and anger in the house, is this me or is it them?

I've felt really positive psychologically myself, so i doubt it would be me. I know when i'm negative. I used to be. I suffered really badly with agoraphobia and social phobia, panic disorder and panic attacks because i couldn't handle the stress of handling other peoples emotions.

I'm fine when i'm on my own. Put me in a room of people and i used to stuggle. Walking in the supermarket or going on a bus used to be a nightmare.

I have learnt how to ground myself now and to protect myself with mirrors of white light. However sometimes when other people are around such as today i feel the tension in the atmosphere. If everyone goes out i'm fine. I focus and sense so much of peoples emotions.

It helps me in my psychic work but it's a curse in daily life. Anyone have any good suggestions on protecting myself better from others negativity and anger?

Thanks,
Much love *& Light,
Janey xx

seems this post slipped through the net and went unanswered so I'll step into the breach and see if we can't answer your question.

Right first off seems you've had an effective shield in the past but things are slipping through the net right now. There could be a few reasons for this, firstly do you cleans your shield? Do you ground and center yourself fully before building your shield? Do you wash off the build up of negativity on a regular basise? Like all things our shields get grubby and sometimes that grub can prevent the shield from working so effectivly. Now and again stuff gets through and this leads to a slow and gradual build up of negative crap on the INSIDE of the shield. This can often go un-noticed since it's a slow and gradual seepage. Not something that just suddenly happens. So like windows you might not notice the build up of grime till it's too thick to see through clearly. There is also the posability that your old method just ain't working for you any more. Take a good look around here, this forum contains all the help you could ever need on cleansing and shield building. If you can't find what you are looking for ask and someone will be around to help you.

As I've already said none of us have the definative answers but together we can usualy give enough of a collective advice guide to help you along your path. :hugz:

Welcome to the Empathic Bunker. Oh and yes I also experiance sensativity to loud noises when I'm suffering with too much negative crap sticking to me so you aren't alown there. I imagine there are a good few others who suffer it also. I know that part of that for me comes from negative experiances with loud noises such as slaming doors and people shouting so I must always be aware that I might be superimposing my negative experiances onto the noise. However I don't tend to have a problem dealing with such things unless I am having an emotional overload and am in a hyper sensative state. The body has a thing called the fight or flight mechanisum which is our own personal alarm system. When the body feels threagthened it sets these sensers to hyper sensative alert and they react very swiftly to anything the body might consider a threagth. Loud noises, raised voices and angry or agresive emotions tend to really trigger these senses quickly so you body goes on the defensive. When that happens you may also find your shield becomes LESS effective since you are not properly ground or centered.

Well that's my two peneth on the matter anyway. I'm sure someone else will have some advice for you to help you if you ask. Check out the thread on shielding and ask for help on cleansing, grounding and centering. Everyone here is generaly willing to help if they can so ask any questions you might have.

I am very sensitive to loud noise. It totally just freaks me out to have loud noises anywhere near me. I begin to shake and cry and feel quite ill. I have made it my lifestyle to stay away from areas of loud noise. I can't go to concerts and the like unless it is a classical music concert. They tend to be ok for me.

My sheilds lately began to bukle as I was on a web site where alot of angry emotions were floating around. I had to do a 180 degree turn around and really cleanse and ground before I could deal with being in there.

the loud noises the bright lights.. these make me want to run..
i need quiet or soothing sounds..
or even holding a snake. they tend to absorb my feelings and in turn calm me..

Yes bright lights I forgot what they do to me. I get so sick and feel so drained. I live in a world of drak and muted lighting.

yes, I am sensitive to loud noises-I had a friend who used to turn up her car stereo really loud with heavy metal music and wouldn't turn it down. So, I quit riding with her. Bright, flashing lights are difficult for me, as well. And flourescent lighting can give me a headache, but not all the time.

Yep. Can't stand loud noises. The worst day I ever had at work was when I had to take a group home resident to a hockey game. The shouting and bright lights caused me a great amount of anxiety and when we got back to the house, I had to go into the staff office and decompress for awhile. Wow! It is SO GREAT to finally "meet" some folks who experience many of the same things I do! <claps hands wildly>
