I too pick up everything from everyone! but for me not being around people doesn't help. They can be on the next continent and it still happens to me! Forget the white light...that's just new age stuff. Anyway, surrounding yourself with white light probably makes you even more visible...I find it hard to protect myself too. What did help for me was doing chakra exercises, this seemed to strengthen my aura - but I'm so lazy that I didn't keep it up. But it seemed to kind of turn the volume down. I noticed during a total eclipse of the moon a few years ago that when the moon was blocked, suddenly all the psychic " radio " signals stopped and I felt truly at peace. It was like someone turned the receiver right off. > > I'm wondering if this strange feeling in my head right now isn't somehow > related to picking something up...I don't know what it would be. It could very well be. If it is, you'll probably find it stops when you identify who it is. It often works that way for me anyway. Blessings, Flick.

Flick, your post was so interesting!! There certainly is a down side tobeing receptive. I'm the same way, so receptive that I now can hardly bearound people at all. I pick up all their 'stuff.' Everyone talks aboutmethods of protecting the self from outside nfluences, but the only methodthat seems to work for me is repeating a mantra that a Vedic priest oncegave me.

All is backache, nothing is backache. When you reach satori, and sit upon the 100 foot pole, such judgemental terms as backache will fall away from you ;-) BTW, it's okay to meditate lying down.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 Anne, I hope you realised this was tongue in cheek and that you're replying in the same vein. Sometimes British humour gets misunderstood. I used to practise Zen, which I found the most suitable to me of the Buddhist paths, though I felt an affinity with Tibetan Buddhism too. I was lucky enough to be able to get into half lotus, which took pressure off my back. On 23/4/04 9:13 pm, " hagazussah " <hagazussa wrote: > Hi Flick, > > Thanks for the explanation.
