I am very empathic, which means my emotions are affected greatly by those around me, spirit or otherwise. I am also a sensitive, so this gives me what I would call a double whammy from the spirit plain. I have had, as was mentioned, spirits impress on me the physical feelings of their death. I have learned that, along with the beacon I put out in the spirit world that draws them to me, a plea to not affect me physically or emotionally if they can help it. I figured that if they can see/hear this beacon, they could possibly see/hear my plea. So far, it seems to work, but I have been closing myself off as well. I'll have to see what happens now that I am opening myself up again.
