Being in public places is
sometimes overwhelming.
Since our walls between self and
other are dissolving, we haven’t really learned to
distinguish between someone else’s energy and our own. If
the general mood of the crowd is herd-like or negative, we
can feel this acutely, and may feel like retreating into our
own private space.
When we have recharged our
batteries with meditation, spending time in nature, far away
from other people, or just sitting in quiet contemplation,
we are ready to be with the masses again.
In personal
relationships, we often will feel someone else’s emotions as
our own.
It is important to have this
higher sense of empathy, but we must learn to allow another
person’s emotions while observing them and keeping our
empathy, but, realizing that not all emotions belong to us. Social
influence can dampen our own innate wisdom.
-
We know
things without having to intellectually figure them out.
Often called intuitive
awareness, we have ‘a-ha’ moments and insights that
can explain some of the most complex theories or phenomenon
in the world.
Some of the most brilliant minds
of our time just ‘know.’
Adepts and sages often were
given downloads of information from higher states of
consciousness after meditating or being in the presence of a
more conscious individual; this is happening for more people
with more frequency. As we trust our intuition more often,
it grows stronger. This is a time of ‘thinking’ with our
hearts more than our heads. Our guts will no longer be
ignored.
Our dreams are becoming
precognitive and eventually our conscious thoughts will
be as well.
-
Watching television or most of
main stream media, including newspapers and many
Hollywood movies is very distasteful to us.
The mindset that creates much,
but not all, of the programming on television and in cinema
is abhorrent. It commodifies people and promotes violence.
It reduces our intelligence and
numbs our natural empathetic response to someone in pain.
-
Lying to us is nearly
impossible.
We may not know exactly what
truth you are withholding, but we can also tell (with our
developing intuition and
ESP skills) that something isn’t right. We also know
when you have other emotions, pain, love, etc. that you
aren’t expressing.
You’re an open book to us. We
aren’t trained in counter-intelligence, we are just
observant and knowing. While we may pick up on physical
cues, we can look into your eyes and know what you are
feeling.
-
We may pick up symptoms of your
cold, just like men who get morning sickness when their
wives are pregnant.
Sympathy pains, whether
emotional or physical, are something we experience often. We
tend to absorb emotion through the solar plexus, considered
the place we ‘stomach emotion’ so as we learn to strengthen
this chakra center, we may sometimes develop digestive
issues.
Grounding to the earth can help
to re-establish our emotional center.
Walking barefoot is a great way to re-ground.
-
We tend to root for the
underdog, those without voices, those who have been beaten
down by
the matrix, etc.
We are very compassionate
people, and these marginalized individuals often need more
love. People can sense our loving hearts, so complete
strangers will often tell us their life stories or approach
us with their problems.
While we don’t want to be a
dumping ground for everyone’s issues, we are also a good ear
for those working through their stuff.
-
If we don’t learn how to set
proper boundaries, we can get tired easily from taking on
other people’s emotions. Energy Vampires are drawn to us
like flies to paper, so we need to be extra vigilant in
protecting ourselves at times.
-
Unfortunately, sensitives or
empaths often turn to drug abuse or
alcohol to block some of their emotions and to ‘protect’
themselves from feeling the pain of others.
-
We are all becoming healers.
We naturally gravitate toward
healing fields, acupuncture, reiki, Qi-Gong, yoga, massage,
midwivery, etc. are fields we often find ourselves in. We
know that the collective needs to be healed, and so we try
our best to offer healing in whatever form we are
most drawn to.
We also turn away from the
‘traditional’ forms of healing ourselves. Preferring natural
foods, herbs, and holistic medicine as ways to cure every
ailment.
-
We see the possibilities before
others do. Just like when the church told Copernicus he was
wrong, and he stood by his heliocentric
theory, we know what the masses refuse to believe. Our
minds are light-years ahead.
-
We are creative. We sing, dance,
paint, invent, or write. We have amazing imaginations.
-
We require more solitude than
the average person.
-
We might get bored easily, but
we are really good at entertaining ourselves.
-
We have a difficult time doing
things we don’t want to do or don’t really enjoy. We really
do believe life was meant to be an expression of joy.
Why waste it doing something you
hate? We aren’t lazy, we are discerning.
-
We are obsessed with
bringing the truth to light.
Like little children who say,
“that’s not fair” we want to right the wrongs of the world,
and we believe it often just takes education.
We endeavor to explain the
unexplainable and find answers to the deep questions of
life.
We are seekers, in the
Campbellian paradigm, 'The
Hero With a Thousand Faces.'
-
We can’t keep track of time. Our
imaginations often get away with us and a day can feel like
a minute, a week, a day.
-
We abhor routine.
-
We often disagree with authority
(for obvious reasons).
-
We will often be kind, but if
you are egotistical or rude, we won’t spend much time with
you or find an excuse to not hang out with people who are
obsessed with themselves.
We don’t ‘get’ people who are
insensitive to other people’s feelings or points of view.
-
We may be vegan or vegetarian
because we can sense a certain energy of the food we eat,
like if an animal was
slaughtered inhumanely. We don’t want to consume
negative energy.
-
We wear our own emotions on our
sleeves and have a hard time ‘pretending’ to be happy if we
aren’t. We avoid confrontation, But will quietly go about
changing the world in ways you can’t even see.
