An empathic experience

[TwinDragon]

Hi!:)

I just wanted to share a very powerful empathic experience I had.

I was at home and had a visit from a guy. He was talking non-stop, so I couldn't quite follow him, and my attention went to the energy world in a sense..

Suddenly I experienced a shift in energy, like I opened a layer of his aura (it just sort of happened) and then I started feeling it on my skin when he spoke. I got very amused by this.. And suddenly he tells me that he can't think anymore. Then I felt this extreme heat coming from the back of my heart chakra area, like there was energy trying to clear a blockage or something. Intense heat... I'm pretty sure he was on drugs too, so it could be me feeling the effect of that (I heard that it can increase the body heat) Never done drugs myself so I don't really know.

Days after I felt like I was standing in his shoes, empathicly. To the point where my hand moved without my control so my fist nearly hit the mirror (I was in the bathroom at the time) I also got thoughts that someone has having a rage, and it wasn't me. Some time after that the guy told me that he was in fact having a rage and hit his fist in the wall...

So I had empathized with him, and I guess I got his karma. Could also have been some projection from my side but I felt it was not... More like me sending unconditional love and me getting the karma...

Unfortunately this guy fell in love with the unconditional love I was putting out. So I had to really work on distancing myself as I was very empathic to his stuff afterwards.

I would love to hear others experiences with stuff like this:)

Sometimes putting attention to another is all it takes to pick up the thoughts and feelings from that person...

At my office a person used to come in to see me nearly every morning and talk about all sorts of nonsense until I would eat his karma. If I didn’t do it he would hang around. Once I did it he had less to talk about.

It became an irritation and eventually I focused on grounding the person and finding ways to bypass him such as walking out of my office and talking to someone else.

Some people need to let off steam and we can help them with it. Surrender their stuff for them. But to go into a person wondering what is happening with them can be more sticky. Curiosity killed the cat. It’s also what gets an empath stuck. Try to stay grounded and centered in yourself and the daily sandpapering of being in life gets milder.

In the first year of awakening I used to think of friends and whether I should connect with them or not.. this was during the time of having difficulty with social experiences due to sensitivity. By thinking of a person was putting attention to them and feeling what was going on with them. It may sound fun but it’s not. It got to a point where i couldn't distinguish myself from another and my ability to interact with others became clumsy. I prefer emptiness instead of the rumble of other people’s worlds. These days I am a more hermetic than i used to be.

Thank you so much for your reply:)

I can relate a lot to what you have gone through as well... Just thinking of someone brings forth the empathy.... It really follows attention just as Mystress writes about in her lessons.. I've learned to pay attention to where my own energy goes..:p

I have also gone through a time when I had such a difficoulty being social and around others as I would pick up on so much stuff... It's a work in progress to be social now... lol:P One time when I went to a party (two friends of mine who were together at the time) and I picked up on difficoulty in their relationship, and some time later they ended their relationship. The energy/emotions just came over me and totally overwhelmed me to the point where I had a hard time being comfortable.. I also saw this black wall-like energy appear in front of me, and got totally comfused with everything..

But grounding helps.. It still increases my intuition, but I feel more clarity when I'm grounded...

  Sometimes I need to think about somebody but don't want to connect or zap them with my attention. I have a little place in my head that is my private room, I set clear my intention that my thoughts and attention are just for me, private not connecting, mirror the inside if need be and then I can think! 

    Blessings...

Thank you for the tip:) Things have gotten better now, but there have been people that I started feeling by just one though about the person... I'll make my intentions clearer:)

Blessings!
