i'm not sure where to post this exactly, but since it's not astrology i figured i'd post here. i have always been highly intuitive, but i met someone recently (8 months ago) who has furthered my 'ability' in some way. i can actually 'feel' this person's moods, both good and bad, without ever being told what they are feeling. when this person is upset i feel/sense it deeply and when the person is happy i can feel that as well. sometimes i am overwhelmed because i can actually feel the depth of this other person's emotions (in addition to my own) which makes me feel like a nutcase and makes me not want to tell people this is happening because it sounds so bizarre. what is this called, when you can actually feel the emotions of another?, and what realm of study would this fall into? thanks.IP: Logged |

Hi starmoon...here's a link from the Soul Unions
Forum...
http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum10/HTML/004186.html
You are definitely tied to this
person in some way...
What is your relationship with them? Could be a Twin Soul...
or have soul pieces!? ------------------

Actually, it can be explained astrologically. I am highly intuitive as well and I also met a guy last year whose feelings and moods I could read with no words exchange between us. Just a simple look at each other's eyes. LOL It turned out we had Moon conj Moon in synastry... IP: Logged |

Sounds like you have a degree of clairsentience, starmoon.
Embrace it, but learn how to protect yourself too.IP: Logged |

I do this, too. exercise and fresh air help, as do distractions that don't involve the computer (anything that grounds you).I've been incredibly depressed, and found myself wondering today, if it was all me, or if I was picking up on someone else. I hatec it - it wears me down, and stops me from getting anything else done; it's an intrusion, even when it warns me that something's up (if I can't tell what it's about, and get over it).

Put your synastry up in Personal Readings. It will be interesting to see what shows up. Everything always shows up. The only weak link would be the reader  If you do it, put on the "loving" kinds of asteroids such as Ceres, Pallas etc
If you don't know what I mean, come to PR and I will help you. ------------------

We are all born with intuition for a reason, though it is not often talked about or given any importance. Classes should be taught in school on it, how to honor, develop it and how to protect, cleanse oneself from the energies around us. Sounds like you are already open, just need to learn more about this natural ability we are all born with and how to handle it.IP: Logged |

I need to find the book you gave me. I tried some of the exercises, but wasn't getting anything. Someone, almost a year ago, thought that I'd become agoraphobic because of that. I'm really protective of my personal space.Exercise makes it better. Getting out makes it better. Sometimes it's just me, but when it's that heavy as soon as I wake up (anchor-in-the-chest feeling), I know there's something wrong. IP: Logged |

I havent been able to finish the book yet either ( i got a copy for me too), but would really like to. I'm terrible with workbook type books and she really recommends following all or most of the exercises.Would like to get around to finishing it this year. I also often feel similar to you. And think it's important to learn how to read and listen to your body's cues as the author stresses. You probably do pick up on others emotions often and take them on as your own without realizing it. I do the same and need to get better about not doing so. IP: Logged |

I live there, and as Lexx said, can be a blessing or a curse.I have to remind myself that when I am feeling strange or in a funk, to find out IF it is really my mood or something I picked up on the way. Usually the latter. Sad thing is, tho, in my line of work, death, dying, infirm, I am subject to really down energy. I have tried shielding myself, before going out into public, but usually forget. This morning is an exception, terribly depressed, but I spent the entire week, afteer working 3 days, going out doing this and that...etc. and now I just cant function... So my remedy, is to pay homage to the Roman God Saturn, live this day in a state of melancholy, allow myself to process it...cause tomorrow back to work. It is trickey, feeling everybody's emotions, moods, etc...a cross to bear, I suppose. t~~~ IP: Logged |

I need to be around others to snap out of it. Although walking around the aisles of stores doesn't help much - I mean a more interesting/amusing/fun distraction. I like to go to the bookstore and sit in the cafe, looking through things, reading a bit and talking a bit. Too much time around the shelves has them closing in on me.I've just been climbing the walls in general, and don't laugh nearly as much as I used to. Some of this is my own stuff, but I know from past experience that I've picked heavy emotions up from others, as well as butterflies. Silliness - especially unexpected silliness - snaps me out of it, and smooths things out for me for a while. I remember how out of it I was feeling two years ago (september 2009); I was slowly lightening up a bit, when something sort of gross and totally unexpected happened, making me, my mother, and someone else crack up, and I was fine for the rest of the evening.  My moods get so heavy by themselves, that I just can't take someone else putting them on me right now. I need more laughter, so that I'm not totally awful to be around. IP: Logged |

It affects me the same way.
My moods change too easily by what I feel radiating from others.
I seem like an emotional chameleon.
Yes, both a blessing and a curse it is.
Shielding is not easy to do.
And in your line of work at what point do you choose to keep your own sanity instead of over the top intense empathy with the patients?

Hi LexxThanks for posting, I know that you know what this is all about. Yes, I do try to keep out of the emotional currents at work, every once in a while, I will be genuinly thanked, and that really helps, positive energy. phew!!! But it is really hard for me to not absorbe anything...I remember a poem written annonymously stating that Pisces is the last of His Children, the only one to understand Him and to absorbe all of humanities tragedies and return the pain to the source. Maybe, maybe not, but something is going on here.! On my days off, I recluse, I renew and rest, but this week, lots of family obligations and the worst of all, the Virgo bfriend is sick...talk about down, depressed energy... One day, I will get away from it all, and, then when I do encounter it, I will be able to let it go... I have to mention, to this thread, that while we may not be able to stop what we pick up energetically, it is up to US as to what we do with it...for me, meditation, water, water and more water is the best. O, and sleep as much as I can!
Today a sunny 70-something in San Antonio, so I am spending as much time in the sun as I can.

Thanks to all for your help and understanding of this. I am also going to look into the word clairsentience and see if that seems accurate. As to the relationship - he is male and I am female - we met 8 months ago at work and had an instant friendship/kinship - within about 5 days of meeting we were like old friends and that has continued to just blossom over the months into a really solid friendship. There is a lot of heat and chemistry (romantically) but we haven't acted on it at all - just one cheek kiss on New Years. We are trying to build a great friendship and have agreed to let this progress into something more if/when it does. I felt as though he was a soul mate when I first met him, but the first time I 'felt' the depth of emotion from this person was about 2.5 months after our intial meeting. I posted the synastry chart. I am on the inner wheel.  IP: Logged | |
