Yeah, a physical empath. I know the traditional definition is someone who can feel others emotions, but I do it with their physical bodies. I've done this since I was a child, I can remember feeling it when my father was going to come home with a migraine. Fortunately, this also let my mother know, so she could prepare the room for him, or rather us. This is my earliest recollection of it, it was from before I started school. Since then, I'd learned to tune it out, so much so that it became a background feature of mine, and those times that I incorporated what I was feeling unknowingly, it would take me a bit to figure it out.
As I got older, I learned better how to focus what I did, and I was doing fairly well at it. I took Reiki lessons, not because Reiki was better, but to learn the focus of it.
By the way, I don't really consider myself psychic, I don't get pictures, I don't really feel energies, etc, I just seemed to know what, where, and how. Which freaked some people out when their knee was hurting, and I'd put my hands near their arm. But their knee would heal quickly.
Anyway, that's the basic background story. What I'm writing about here is this, since I took the Reiki lessons, I've gotten into 3 car accidents, and that has totally messed up my back. So now, I can't feel the energies at all, the 'knowing' thing has stopped, and I can't focus enough to meditate properly because of the chronic pain.
This could be a test, but it wouldn't be the first physical test I've faced.
I'm putting this down here, not to appeal for help, or added energies, most of you, myself included, have probably already done this unconsciously, this circle tends to do that. But rather to add this as a focus for myself, you know the old saying, "Sometimes it's best to just talk about it".
I honestly have to say, that I miss that aspect of me, I kind of feel like I'm walking around crippled.
Now, I'm going to end this tirade, but before I do, please understand, that it hasn't gotten me down and kept me there. It's just something else I have to learn to get along without, which will likely lead me to another talent.
Happy energies all.
But years ago, I had a friend who had a multitude of health issues, she was legally blind, diabetic, and severely asthmatic. I'd heard one day that she had gone to the hospital, and that her son had been the one instrumental in her survival.
After she had gotten out of the hospital, she invited me over for coffee, I'd never been to her house before. As we were drinking our coffee, her kids came home form school, so she introduced me to them.
I said to her son, "Thank you for saving your Mom, it was a very great thing you'd done", he turned pure white, and ran from the room. After she was able to calm him down, he told this story.
He was sound asleep when his mother had the asthma attack, she was in the kitchen. He heard a voice that woke him, saying "You need to go help your mother", so he got up and went looking for her. When he got to the kitchen, he started to panic, but everytime this happened, the voice calmed him down and kept him focused.
The voice told him to call 911, he did this. Then the voice told him he had to get her up and sitting so she could breath easier. He kept trying, but couldn't. He told us that the voice said "I'll help you", and just then he felt something enter his body. He picked his mom up, carried her into the living room, and put her into the easy chair.
What he did likely saved her life. The boy was only around 10 years old at the time. But, when asked why he'd run away when I was there, he told his Mom "Because his voice was the one I heard, and the one that helped me pick you up."
Now, I haven't thought about this event in years, and I do love crystal therapy, but it's been popping into my head since I started coming onto this site. Is it possible that I am being told that, given the lack of crystals, meditation and astral is what I'm being led to work with?
I can't knowingly project, but know that I've done so for years while I sleep.
