Hi Roxaglyphs, I think you are a bit more developed than just an empath.
I avoid media, like the tv news, Facebook. It will hook your emotional empathic abilities and you just start linking in and absorbing it. I will usually get emotional every couple of months, and have a very deep release of emotion. Depending on what is happening on the planet or to me personaly, meditation helps, regularly going through my chakras and energy field, cleansing them, I visualize, a purple light, going around and through me. This purple light is called the flame of St Germain. Look him up, very interesting person.
Also grounding myself regularly helps, barefeet on soil or sand. Itās harder in the winter lol. You can get grounding mats like, you would use in IT when repairing or handling computer parts.
To stop unwanted guests, I visualize a golden grid of energy around my property, and make a verbal statement, only high vibrational beings allowed. A bit like a metaphysical private property sign and electric fence lol.
You were not doing yourself any favours living on a battlefield. I met a woman who was having problems in Bath England, she was very psychic, but had an entity attachment. It was a young man, who adopted her as she was a very motherly person. He kind of fed off her energy, but also reduced her psychic abilities. After myself and another guy, who was a medium, that I worked with, helped her move this entity where he should be, her abilities just exploded.
I became friendly with her, she would call me and we would talk about stuff she was experiencing. She called me one day as she had been to a friendās house in Bath and was confronted by a Roman army in this personās property inside and out and on a field across the road. She said, roman soldiers would March through the walls and out again.
When she first went there she thought there was a historical group, doing a re enactment in the field opposite the house, until she found no one else was seeing it. She could also see buildings and stockade walls.
Personally I would not use a ouija board, unless you have control of who can connect with you. I set up rules with my guides that act like bouncers, only allowing high vibrational beings to connect with me. You donāt want negative entities as an attachment.
I believe a.lot of so called schizophrenea sufferers are really people with psychic abilities that have negative entity attachment.
