Empathic return  

When you pick up  or absorb pain from others

There are quite a few things you can learn to do to deal with this.

You can learn to refuse pain sent by others you can learn to observe it rather than feel it.  You can learn to shield from it or to filter out negatives including pain..

You can through the process of meditation and study and working with your high self and Guiding Angel and Chi  to raise your vibration to a place where you are not susceptible to" invasion" you can remove pain you have accidentally  accepted.

 You can send it into the Earth for transformation.  You can learn how to work with healing energies  to help  alleviate others suffering without taking it upon yourself.  Most people from whom the empath is feeling pain are not sending it out deliberately.  In fact in  many and maybe most cases it is actually the empath who is in effect reaching out and taking it on. Some taking on of pain is often a temporary  part of the process of learning compassion and mercy  for others.  When you raise your level of spiritual development you can understand others suffering without suffering from it  yourself.

Rather than returning pain to those who may be unaware of your experience  of it. Attend to the many ways of preventing  yourself from taking it on. You can prevent absorption  while maintaining your awareness and compassionate humanity. Most "senders" are  unaware of projecting.  They would be greatly troubled to know that they were causing pain to others.  Another danger of "returning" pain is that Empaths often amplify pain and may send back  rather  more than they received. The decision to "send back" pain  requires several elements of discernment And  judgment.  Are you certain that you have identified the true source of the pain?  Would you want to be treated in this way? Do you agree to accept any of your pain that is sent back to you?  Rather than sending it back I would suggest you rid yourself of it learn not to take it on and further that you bless and send a prayer  or hope or energetic offering of spiritual healing energy   that the one who's pain you felt be healed, blessed and comforted.

You will encounter the advice to return pain to the sender  My experience is that while this is common advice it is ultimately not the best way to deal with it and  not a good cause in the long run.  I also lived much of my life with severe and disabling pain.  The same long term effort  to acquire skills  to deal with an excess of empathy  also have virtually eliminated the chronic pain I lived with for years.  Sending pain back to others may  indeed not harm them. I do think that it can harm the sender.  I   felt called upon to share some of my decades of experience  in this area.
