Hi Wyndè,

Yes indeed such level of empathy can be a problem - but also a great opportunity to fully harness. How?

Whenever the separated aspect of soul (essentially that which is still contained in the identity/ego) asks a question in truth, then the mainstream of the soul always answers and often immediately in ones own words.

So right at the beginning you asked...

"My question is how does one politely, gently and calmly ask another soul that's trying to connect with you to just.. go take 5 or something, because I cannot be available to help or converse 24/7!"

Right at the end you answered (of a fashion) your own question...

"It really is no fun to wake up one morning and suddenly not know what in the world is going on you know."

What is being offered here?

It's never about solving or fixing a situation.

It's ALWAYS about an aspect of self realisation.

What especially here?

Basically going unconscious and so losing oneself. I'd say that's why you can't turn the incoming telepathy off (at least it's one reason - another I pick up is a distortion of compassion - the sense of obligation that you must be there to serve - at least potentially; check it out).

Especially before you go to bed, requires some ceremony establishing energetic boundaries - consciously creating a field that only allows in what serves your highest good. In fact you could go to each of the corners, the roof and the floor, and make that statement with will and sincerity (it does have to be an authentic statement with your own energy).

Then as you go to sleep, make sure you're deeply relaxing into it, so that you don't actually leave the body, but rather rest within it. That way you retain sovereignty of your body and mind.
