Pilar I know how hard is to be an empath.. I've had problems before (look at http://forums.astraldynamics.com/vie...637&highlight=) and I must say EOL007's post really helped me.. its better to just let the emotions go through and out of you rather than trying to block them... it takes too much energy to make a shield for blocking emotions especially when you are so highly empathic... That said now that I am back in London (was holidaying on a quiet island) if I get out of the house in crowded places I feel so sick in my solar plexus I want to throw up... need to re-examine the situation.. but as far as our group focus goes I wouldn't be worried, almost everybody here have very positive energies :)
