sunsetsunrise -so much resonates, i will just parse here and there and write in bold.... lol

*Sounds like you have a wise and wonderful teacher. Yes - thankfully! She also happens to be a multiple.
*Often they are not quite that intense. i wish i could say the same... this is why my teacher had to take me aside and start instructing was was surely not on the syllabus!
*From what i have heard, when we truly are in our body, it makes it much harder for beings aka entities to attach. i used to pick them up all the time. Yes - my T's and spiritual teachers have been trying to teach me this.... when i go get to go to psychic class, my other teacher keeps picking them off my shoulders lol. These are far less intrusive than they *used* to be. now they are (just) like Harry Potter Dementors, sapping my strenght and weighting down this body.
*She said oh thats great, because you are an indicator for the rest of the world. So if you are good that means that a lot of people are doing well right now. I pick up on the collective consciousness and internalize it... wow - i have been told something similar - but kinda the flip side... that i am (and pls don't read into this something of "biblical" proportions) a prophet. That was hard to hear. but what it means is that, like you reflecting the collective conscious feelings, i am reflecting the mood of unrest and am the voice of change *gulp* - for you and me... no pressure, eh?! @_@
*fun. Being a very wounded HSP is not a lot of fun. lol... yeah... about that...
*Add to it a kind of split off when I was very very young and I go into the very young wounded terrified hsp...... Yessss.... skin on fire, can't barely stand touch or wear clothes, noise is like a scalpel on the mind, light burns thru the eyes turning migraines into fire, food becomes inedible (but those are just the REALLY bad days).
*but I am an adult. I really want to heal that. meeee toooo.... if poss.
*I used to see and feel and hear for the people I was helping. yeah i used to do this too... used to heal other others... was in class...
*I had to stop the seeing and hearing. but it was too painful. being a wounded healer can really hurt until one does healing work. I would know where a person's pain was in their body because i would feel it in mine. Same even in dreams.
*There are many different methods to clear energies ect from the body and field. I've not heard of protection with roses - that's interesting. I do work with bubbles of safety - making them unbreakable and nothing can get through. And with light when I am really scared. Or stuffies to protect =) or stones because I find them grounding. glad this thread was started =)
