We all have Inner Guidance abilities. Each of you is unique in which abilities are your strongest. Many of you don't even recognize that you are using these abilities on a day-to-day basis. One of the most common abilities that remains unrecognized by many is the one where you pick up other people's feelings.
How does this work?
During the day you are in contact with many people. Each person is going through certain events which causes them to have certain feelings or emotions. These emotions emanate from the person and are in his or her energy. If you are sensitive to the feelings, you may pick them up from the person without even realizing it. This means you will feel the emotions that the other person is feeling and then those feelings may become part of your own energy and feelings.
Will you pick up everyone's emotions?
Not necessarily.
- If you are very close to a person, you will probably pick up the emotions.
- If a person is directing the emotion toward's you, you will most likely pick up the emotions.
- If you are a highly sensitive person who is able to pick up feelings easily then you will most likely pick up the emotions.
- If you are developing your abilities you are more likely to pick up the emotions.
- If you are an empathetic person who wants to help others then you will probably pick up the emotions.
Is this a bad thing?
Again, not necessarily. The problem arises when you pick up feelings that you don't want, can't get rid of, or don't recognize as someone else's.
If you are in a great mood and hang around someone who is depressed and then walk away feeling depressed, chances are you have picked up the emotions. If you meet someone that you are not attracted to and suddenly start having feelings for the person, it could be that those feelings are the other person's.
The danger in picking up and keeping feelings that are not your own is that you could end up doing things you don't really want to do or going through emotional upheavals that you don't understand.
The key to recognition is to always know how you are feeling - awareness is the key. This way if you run into someone and start feeling differently, you can discern if the feelings are yours or not.
The good news is that there is a very easy way to get rid of feelings you have picked up and don't want. Again, awareness is the key. Simply say a prayer and ask that if the feelings you are having are not your own that they be removed from your energy - taken away by a Higher Power Filled with Light and Love.
Repeat the prayer several times for a few minutes. If the feelings belong to someone else, you will feel a difference. If the feelings remain the same, chances are the feelings originated from you.
The more you develop your abilities, the faster you will be able to recognize feelings that don't belong to you.
