When I went through my major awakening all of my gifts opened with what seemed to be maximum strength. ~Side Note: I say major awakening because as I look back over my life I can see things that let me know I was always aware ~ As an empath I could physically, mentally and emotional feel everything. I know everything is a bit much but that’s how I felt at the time.
Sometimes I was extremely happy and sometimes I was extremely sad. It felt like I was on an emotional rollercoaster. I was crying about things I never would have cared about in the the past. One time my computer at work messed up and I had to wait on the IT guy to come fix it. This made me feel sad and I starting crying. I realized later I wasn’t crying because my computer messed up I was crying because I was picking up on someone else’s emotions.
On a different occasion I remember feeling pains in both of my shins out of the blue. It was odd because I know I hadn’t did anything recently that would cause my shins to hurt. A couple of hours later I was sitting in the living talking to my daughter and she mentioned that all the running she did the day before had her shins hurting. I realized this feeling didn’t belong to me either and I was picking up on her pain. These are a couple of examples of emotions (emotionally and physically) that I’ve felt that didn’t belong to me. If you’re an empath, like many of us are, you are probably saying to yourself I can definitely relate. From all of the emotional ups and downs I’ve learned to recognize what belongs to me and what belongs to someone else.
See controlling my gifts to learn how I manage these emotions.
