Hello, guild! Newbie reporting in here.
Please excuse me if this is the incorrect forum for this subject. I read through all of the rules and specifications first, and it seems to me as though the main forum is alright for this.
So, I suppose I should explain a bit first. When I was a child, I was quite open psychically -- I could see my spirit guide with relative ease, I could communicate with him to some extent, etc. But as I got older and started drifting away from religion, that all went away. I still cannot see or communicate with spirits, nor can I do a lot of things my mother can... though, there is one aspect I never lost: I feel the energy of places. The instant I walk into a room, I get a very strong impression of what kind of people/things have been in it. I don't see associative images or anything, but I just get very strong feelings of residual emotion from previous inhabitants. I guess I'm highly attuned to my surroundings...
Anyway, what I'm really asking about occurred over a week ago. It was early in the evening, and my father suddenly asked if I wanted to get dinner out somewhere. I agreed, and began to get ready to leave the house. Well, mid-way through my shower (about 10-15 minutes before we left), I started to get this really bad feeling. It started out kind of mild, then my heart began to beat waaay faster than it should have been, and I felt nauseous for no apparent reason. I just shrugged it off and figured it'd go away on its own, and finished getting dressed and ready. As we were heading towards town, the feeling got worse all the way up until we had reached (what I suspect is) the cause: A 3-car accident about a mile down the street from my home, one that looked pretty severe (one car was off the road and wrapped partially around a telephone pole, the other two were smashed into oblivion in the middle of the intersection). It looked fairly recent, as the police were only just arriving by the time we got there. The sensation was completely overwhelming on the site, and I felt a bit light-headed and very nauseous. Over time, as we put distance between us and the accident, I felt fine. As if nothing had ever been wrong. Later that evening, after everything had been cleaned up, I only felt a tinge of residual negativity at the intersection.
Here's my question: Is there any way to control what you feel? Or, at least, how much you feel?
I've never in my life experienced a sensation that strong, and it was completely overwhelming. I think its intensity was due to the fact that I'm trying to get back in touch with my psychic senses; I've started doing more frequent meditation, and I finally found my magical name just a few weeks prior to that incident. But if it felt that intense then, how bad will it get a year from now? Five years from now? I don't think I could handle it, unless there was some method of blocking out some of it, or reducing the sensation. Is this possible? If so, how?
I greatly appreciate any suggestions. smile Has anyone else had any similar experiences? How have you dealt with them?

Are you familiar with the concept of shielding?

Shielding, and then once you get the shield then practice lowering it a bit when you want to practice and learn to control it.
I have a similar experience with this creepy, grassy empty field next to my friends house that always makes me cry for some reason, until I recently found out that 15 years ago it use to be an apartment building that burnt down with all the tenants inside of it. Different places, different vibes. Just try to remember that it's not your feeling, and learn to separate and distinguish yourself from that feeling or it can get pretty maddening.

(Sorry for the late reply -- I forgot I'd even posted this. sweatdrop )
I get the concept of shielding, but I'm not 100% certain on how to actually do it. I understand that you're supposed to visualize a barrier forming around you and try to channel your energy to make that barrier, but I don't think I've ever succeeded at that. I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing wrong.

I understand that you're supposed to visualize a barrier forming around you and try to channel your energy to make that barrier, but I don't think I've ever succeeded at that. I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing wrong. I find that "visualization" processes are more effective when you "feel" them more than "see" them. Pick a shape like a sphere and imagine it around yourself. Feel it around yourself while you're doing this. Do this until you have absolute certainty that it's there. Now the tricky part is programming a construct and I would suggest that you start out programming a shield that's going to block out all external emotions. Either while forming your sphere or after it's formed, imagine emotions bouncing off of it. Whether you imagine emotions as waves or rays or whatever doesn't matter, just imagine them being deflected by your shield. Feel your shield shunning these forces. Know that there is a kind of emotional atmosphere just outside your bubble that you are separate from. It's really as easy and as hard as that.

This is a bit late but I would like to know if you still have questions regarding of how to shield yourself ^~^
