Feeling The Energy All Around Me

I cannot recall exactly when my first experience was, but I have been able to sense and somewhat manipulate energy all around me. Not just the energy from a person or an object, but the entire field of energy coursing through a building. I have woken up to the feeling of a "dead" area because for some reason or another our power was off. My mother likes to play the "I'm not touching you" game with me to annoy me and I'll feel her finger hovering near my back before she even says a word. I have had friends place their hands between mine as I held them out in front of me and they could describe feelings of warmth or cold as I turned the energy between them "off or on". I think that is why I can go for hours at a time working in a hectic kitchen business. I can soak up the energy around me like a rechargeable battery. I don't even do this on a conscious level at times. I've also been complimented on having "magic hands". I will give someone a massage and all the while manipulating my energy in tune with theirs (only with expressed permission, I assure you!) and they say I should become a masseuse because I work wonders on them. And they feel so energized when I am done. I have never really told many people of this, not out of fear but mostly because I didn't quite know how to explain it to someone. As soon as I found a place I could do my best to explain it to several people at once, I thought maybe someone could tell me of a similar experience and get some gleaning spark of wisdom and knowledge from them.
