When you are open and have the abilities of being sensitive, clairvoyant, clairaudient, clairsentient, claircognizant, telepathic, empathic, etc or opened temporarily, it can be overwhelming, causing you to feel sick, an emotional roller coaster, cannot go into public places, feeling disempowered, shutting down, feeling others feelings, physically in pain, state of fear, have thoughts that are not yours, tugged in all different directions (scattered), etc.     

The constant double edge sword of going through this can be overcome and used as an advantage.  An intention is to use it as a Heart gauge.  If energies are constantly bombarding and you feel at times powerless, in pain or if you have to use lower vibrations of anger to stop it or send them away then you are not in your Heart. What is happening is that your attention/ focus is being diverted away from the Heart, your Light on to energies that are outside of you.  They are connecting to your energy system for you to communicate and exchange energies.  Energy flows where your attention goes. Your attention should always be inward, preferably on your Heart since it is the middle ground.

The abilities or heightened awareness should be used as a place from Love and Wisdom.  Once you keep strengthening your connection inward to your Heart then it will shine on the true path that your Soul's Light wants to travel down while you feel Empowered, Balanced, Safe, Secure, Focused, Healthy and at Peace while you maintain your Divine Power and being able to use your Divine Gifts.  This is where your attention and energy should be.  A technique would be to ask yourself, where is my focus?  It should always be within.  A prayer to chant: Detach, Focus Within  say it for at least 10 mins.
