Howdy everyone

I was wondering if anyone could tell me the difference from experiencing my emotions and someone elses?

Having recently broken up with my partner I'm finding that sporadically I get these aching sensations in my chest...it sounds weird but...I know they are not mine. My feelings have a different "feel" about them, I can't really explain it.

Is it possible that I'm in tune with my ex's pain? It just seems too weird because these aching spasms across my chest would just suddenly appear and I know they are not mine because I will have no reason to be sad or even thinking of him and then, bang! And my senses go hay-wire and I'm overcome with this huge wave of sorrow and pain...and I will immediately think about him!

Am I being fanciful or am I truly experiencing his pain?

It is not uncommon to feel anothers pain.  Sometimes you would go through the same exact reminants as they are, whether it be physical or emotional, sometimes you can hear their thoughts as well.  

You can tell your own emotions when you feel consistently sad or depressed for a long period of time and the hurt is the result of that.  When you feel the emotions of someone else it is usually when it is just brought on all of a sudden like it did for you.  Out of nowhere, you feel anguish or actual physical pain.  It is just that you are very in tune with this person and your energies are in sync with each other for you to feel this.  You will notice when this happens, it is usually those that are very close to you. i.e. - friends, families, and loved ones.  

If you don't already have other abilities, you might dwelve further and will find other hidden gifts you might not be aware of.  You are highly sensitive to people's feelings and this will get more frequently and stronger for you down the road, if not already.  

Hope this answers your question,

Yes thank you, it does!

This feeling though has increased to a semi-strong nausea...is this normal too? I'm very rarely sick and this seems to stem from the really intense emotional pain that I'm currently experiencing. I am getting flashes of him in my head too...just his face...

All normal too? Sorry, this is kinda new to me and I have no-one here to talk through it with me...it's actually a little overwhelming and I have to keep telling myself to take deep, calming breaths...

Yes this is all normal.

I get most of my messages via my feeling side so if I am reading someone and I feel pain running down my arm I will ask them if this pain belongs to them have they been having pain in their arm etc.  They say yes then it's a knowing inside of what to do to correct it or help it.  

I find it is very important when you feel an emotion or physical pain to do as you are doing you must ask yourself if this belongs to you?  If the answer is no then ask who does this belong to?  You are already receiving your answer which shows you are starting to develop your clairsentience.
 Once you have established that the pain is not yours and belongs to someone else then its important to let it go as I have seen people including myself not realise they are claiming anothers pain and keeping it as their own and becoming unwell or depressed because of it.  They just cant work out how they got so sad or became unable to pick themselves back up.

So if you are receiving these without doing a reading acknowledge these emotions as you are already doing,  white light yourself and send the person love and healing.  I imagine a beautiful white light around myself then around my sitter/sender.  I then send the person pink light for love and light blue sparkly light for healing emotions and pain.

Generally once you become aware of another pesons feelings it will become habit for you to realise it then within moments the feeling will go.  

Once I realise it is not mine all pain and emotions from the sender will be gone and I can move forward etc.

You can certainly work on this ability to open yourself up more psychically if you wanted.  It was one of my first ways of receiving messages and it is not until later you realise you had been doing it for years and years and never knew it as you just assumed everything you felt surely is your own????

Goodluck!

Yes thank you so much! Everything you wrote rings true to me. Wow, that means I really have been doing that for a while. That would explain my random bouts of depression then? It would get so confusing at times because I really didn't have anything to be depressed about and I would go through these stages of un-called for pain and emotions...

I would really love to develop this further...would you know how I could do this?
