Experiment

So, where to begin. Well I've being trying to figure out what this energy I feel inside of me can be. Doesn't always happen. I've I guess you can say channeled it unintentionally and unknowingly and it can be very draining when I touch certain people. I've been reading and taking in peoples perspective and advice. So this weekend I decided to try a experiment. Someone very close to me has been having emotional issues, she been very depressed. So I thought I'd try to change her mood. Now it was just an experiment, I didn't even know if I could do something of this sort. Just thought "Hey, let's see what happens". Now some of you are asking, what is 'IT' you are trying to do. Well in very recent experiences, I've felt energy in people and I guess in a way I've replaced their negative energy with positive, I thought she could use some positive energy, so I saw her over the weekend and she was having a rough day. During one of her... Depressing moments you can say. I decided to give her a hug. And it felt so right, I can say I was almost drawn into to the hug. And when I hugged her she pushed back but because of the relationship we have it wasn't uncommon for me to hold on. She pushed I hugged tighter... I felt a rush of warmth. She stopped pushing and I just hugged her, and I felt her body slowly relaxed. Then I kind of made a joke out of me holding her, she just laughed, told me I was silly, I let go, she walked away. I felt a bit drained but dealt with it, I went to see her before she left, she would laugh and smile when she'd look at me, the air felt lighter around her and she wasn't so... Stressed and I don't know heavy... Not sure if that makes sense. Now I don't know if it was just me being me, people tend to say I make them want to smile and be happy (sometimes,because even I can be a pain;), or if it was something more. Either way it was an interesting outcome. But I'm not sure I should keep trying as it seems the stronger the emotion of the other person, the more it takes out of me. I don't know what it means if anything at all, but I think I'll keep reading up on this. Also, I was told someone I love and related to has been seen as a healer of sorts, so I think I'll pay him a visit. But I definitely don't think I'll be trying anything like that for a while, I'm now afraid if their negative energy it stronger than they say or I know I maybe hurting myself. Is that possible?
