A few years ago, a friend showed me how to sense other’s emotions and mental state.  I used it now and then after I learned, but then eased off.  Lately, I have been doing it quite a bit more.

As mentioned in a previous post, I have a friend going through some major problems.  I have another that is trying to push herself to the breaking point (if not beyond).  When I ask either of these people how they are doing, they tend to tell me a little less than the truth.  They would rather I not worry about them, so they tell me that they are better than they actually are.

Because of this, I have been tapping in to their emotions to tell me if they are telling the truth or not.  There is a point that I don’t want to do this, but I feel I need to so I knowif my friends need help.  And knowing that, I am able to help them.  I feel that there is a difference between what I am doing, and eavesdropping.  I’m not trying to find out what they are doing.  I’m just taking a quick feel because I have a gut feeling that what they’re telling me is not correct.

After not having done this in a long time, I’m surprised that I can still do it relatively easily and accurately.  I visualize the person I want to ‘taste’.  Then I visualize their emotional state flowing into the top half of my head.  I see this as liquid flowing back and forth in my head.  After I have enough ‘info’, I basically stick a ‘feeler’ up into the ‘liquid’ and I open myself to feel what is there. 

At that point, I actually feel the emotions that the other person is feeling.  At least that is if I don’t let mine mix in with them.  That is the hard part.  If I am dealing with strong emotions, they will mix in, and I won’t be sure about what I think I’m feeling. 

When I feel what is there, and I am not mixing in anything, I can tell a lot.  I can tell if they’re happy or sad.  I can tell if they feel like crying, or if they are having trouble breathing.  You see, I experience this for the fewseconds that I am testing. 

Once I have made my determination, I let the ‘liquid’ out, and clear myself.  I have done this with people close by, and people many miles away.  Once I did this with my friend in Ireland.  Those I have done it to have been surprised as I am usually pretty accurate.  Very interesting though.

Well, now you know a new trick.  J  Have fun.
