True empathic abilities do not absorb others emotions or energy. An example would be, “I can feel anger radiating from that person.” as opposed to, “I feel angry because that person is radiating anger.”.
If you find yourself absorbing others emotions, you are in fact, empathic, but your skills are bleeding through without firm boundaries.
A simple, easy technique to solidify your personal, sovereign space is as effortless as breathing, we just need to add an intention or a flavor to the breath.
Slow down the breath and start inhaling deep into the abdomen, stretching the tummy open. On the exhale, completely relax and let go, allowing the breath to bleed from the lungs.
Stay in this focus until you feel your body relax and the mind calm (shouldn’t be more than a minute or two). Once you feel the body let go, you are ready for the next step.
The intention is to feel the gravity of you, pulling everything that is you into your bubble, including the space outside the body on the inhale. **WHAT IS MINE, IS MINE**
On the exhale, reverse the feeling. Push out everything that is not you, making it weightless. **WHAT IS YOURS, IS YOURS**
Do not do this aggressively, or with anger. Make it as gentle as possible, simply stating facts, because what is mine is mine and what is yours is yours 
Do this whenever you feel the buzz of the crowd push in, or when you feel someone thinking about you, holding negative feelings, or when you feel intense emotion radiating from someone.
Empathic abilities are just like any other skill. Trainable.
Enjoy your Jedi training
