I am not positive but I believe that the article is referring to the absorption of another's emotions. An empath is a person that can sense others emotions often times resulting in the empath absorbing or gaining the emotions of another. This is why shielding is so importation for any empath.

kts is right and most empaths dont only share their emotions with others but they take in others emotions as other empaths do the same. :D

you must meen the legendary empathy mimicry.

What exactly is Empathy ?

Empathy is when one person feels another person's pain. This can be done by anyone who can sympathize with another. There are those who refer to them self as an empath. This is a person that not only can sympathize with another they actually feel the other person's emotions. This means that even when the person is not physically conveying or speaking their emotions the empath can still feel the emotions. This becomes a problem when an empath does not learn to control their ability and instead of just feeling the emotions of others they actually absorb the emotions and take them as their own. This is why shielding is so important for an empath to learn. This way they are not bothered by other peoples emotions and are not effected by them either.

What if one wanted to take empathic absorption to the point that you could intentionally absorb another person's emotions? Such as taking away someone's pain or sadness or simply lessening it?

It can be done Neo.
Empath or not it can be done, but I think empaths have a slightly better advantage since they can feel that emotion and where the general build up of it is. It's more or less removing that energy from the person. Only problem is to then replace their energy and remember to get rid of what you just took.

What do you consider good ways to get rid of the negatives? Also why is replacement necessary?
