Hello. My issue is that I pick up other peoples negative emotions. I often feel if they are ill, and where they hurt. I get this in churchyards too. If someone is depressed or suffering from a mental illness its like a physical blow to be near them. Its like I'm a radio wave picking up the signals, and its actually having quite a crushing effect on me. I have studied meditation, tried closing down techniques and protection techniques but it doesn't help. When close members of my family are unhappy or unwell I feel that too. What can I do to switch this off? Any ideas?

All is one, so it can happen if you are open enough. There is nothing you have done to bring it along, nothing you should do to switch it off. There is no need of protection either although you are probably feeling that you need to. Just relax into these emotions. Your fighting with them is the problem, not the emotions that you feel. As you relax they will pass easily without battering and crushing you. Get out of the way. It has come relax into it and then see it pass. When you stand in the way it batters you.
Hi Star2Snow
You don't switch this off, you have to learn to embrace it, as Jnani says if you attempt to fight this, you are actually fighting yourself and that internal conflict is causing most of the problem, you need to embrace it in an open and non-judgemental way, that will allow you to become one with your intuition and then be able to acknowledge the information which you are giving yourself and since it has done its job of alerting you and you have embraced the information, you can then choose to use it or let it go.
Yeah just pass by such wave lengths like you are passing through cold and hot climate area. Meaning just take them as a part of atmosphere. Don't take it over your mind too much and let it get through like a hot or cold wind.
Perhaps it is a call for you to do something about it, not to protect yourself, for in doing so you isolate yourself, but to help by giving support and love, perhaps by healing or perhaps just by holding a hand of one in need.
If you know who it is try just standing in silence next to them, if you are not sure just allow your love to permeate everyone locally.
Have you tried healing?
love
