I can "read" people and feel people's "energy"...

I am looking for someone who has experience with similar abilities that I have.  I can read people and can pick up their energy,like electricity.  Are these unique abilities or could to cultivated into beneficial gifts?  Please read my profile.   I am seeking feedback on this.

Re: I can "read" people and feel people's "energy"...

I can do this too, especially with people that I am close to, but sometimes when I am feeling a certain way I can pick up on the energy of strangers as well.

I think that we all have these abilities, but we frequently suppress them.  Once you are open to it, I think it comes more and more easily.  So just keep being open, I feel like I am more and more able to read people.

Re: I can "read" people and feel people's "energy"...

Good morning Mitzi,

I think that the answer to your question as to whether everyone can do this, or it is a unique gift, if yes :)

I think we all have this ability, but just like the ability to run fast or do math in your head, we have this to varying abilities. I’d say, from your description of your gift, you are “olympic class” in your skill with this gift.

Personally, I am about average in this. All of us have the ability to get a “gut feel” when we meet someone. We have all met people that the moment we see them, we have a warm and positive feeling about them, that transcends anythinig we could have physically sensed. Conversely, we’ve all met people that may be attractive and well groomed, but made your skin crawl the minute you meet them. I believe that when we meet someone, there is a great deal of psychic communication that takes place immediately. Most of us are only vaguely aware of this, and are only able to percieve a vauge gut feeling, which we may or may not even acknowledge. It would seem that you are much more talented here than most, and actually have conscious awareness of this subconscious communication. I think that you should embrace it, and continue to try to refine this beautiful gift.

A few years ago I had a girlfriend that was that was very gifted. She could see auras, and what was really “freaky” was that she could tell when I was thinking about her. When she first told me this I was skeptical, so I asked her if I could test her. That night I was putting my son to bed, and tried to think about her, but my son was distracting me a lot, but finally he fell asleep, and I was able to concentrate on her for a few minutes. She called me the next day and said she could feel a vague “thoughtform” from about 10:05 to 10:20, then felt a strong one for about 15 minutes after that. It was right on the time I was thinking of her.

Have you always had this gift as strong as you do today, or did it develop later in life? If later, was there any life event that triggered it?

You have the potential to be a great healer if you can develop the skill to facilitate peoples awareness of where their energy is blocked and help them release it.

Re: I can "read" people and feel people's "energy"...

My best friend has this ability. With everyone she meets, she's able to perfectly read people. For a long time I just thought she was judgmental until it became almost freaky how accurate many of her judgements were. She also has this ability with animals.
I think there have been many signs in her life that there's something special about her. Within the last few years, an odd instance occurred, where she began to experience SLI (street light interference, if anyone is familiar  with this.)
 She's not a spiritual person at all, and everything outside of her physical comprehension scares her to no end. She's a very lost girl with many personal problems. I'm hoping one day she really harnesses this power she has and uses it towards something in her (very unclear) future. I just wonder what's gonna finally be the kick for her, and how many more signs she needs until it finally motivates her to get started on some personal growth…
Any suggestions on how to get her at all interested in really investigating these abilities she has?

Re: I can "read" people and feel people's "energy"...

I have experiences/abilities in this area. I'm strongly intuitive about what people are not saying. As a child, I saw and sensed spirits.

Also, I have had about a dozen experiences of animals, usually dogs, coming to me and expressing fear that they are dying. Each time, the animal passed within a year. Now I am helping one of my own dogs  through this journey.

Re: I can "read" people and feel people's "energy"...

I can relate to this, I can feel energies and thoughts of people as well as animals. it's difficult going to a crowded place like a food court or a movie theater, so many people experiencing so many things, thinking different things, it's so overwhelming I get an upset stomach sometimes!

Re: I can "read" people and feel people's "energy"...

Hello Mitzi!

As you begin to increase your awareness and raise your level of consciousness, these “abilities” will become more enhanced. Yes, everyone has this capability; however few of us learn to understand it or to control it in a way that will protect us. There are a few essential points to recognize.

There is a clear difference between helping someone to release an energy block, and absorbing it for them. Until you are able to maintain a high frequency of energy on your own, consciously, you run the risk of taking on other's negative blocks. This is where the distinct difference between judgement and discernment comes in. You must be able to discern what is appropriate for your level of awareness. 

As you become more comfortable with your ability to release blocks as well as protect yourself from being “dragged down,” you will find that your touch may be enough to release an individual's headache, sore throat or stomach pain (the most common areas of blocked energy). Again, make certain you are able to protect yourself from absorbing their energy. 

I do not believe in any specific training to encourage this “ability.” You must give intent to your own increasing consciousness and begin to have a clear recognition of your frequency. As with all disciplines, practice practice practice. :-)

If you would like to discuss this in greater detail, email me at emilylistman@me.com. Best of luck to you and please remember to take care of yourself!

Warmly,

Emmy

Re: I can "read" people and feel people's "energy"...

ME TOO!!! I CAN  DO THE SAME THING!!! YES!!!! WHOO!!! sorry, i'm excited to meet another person who can do this :D

Re: I can "read" people and feel people's "energy"...

Seems like a lot of people have this ability. Because I do as well! Just like some of the others. I too have had experiences with ghosts as a child. And when I meet someone I can tell if they are a genuinely good person or not. Every time my friends meet someone new, I can tell whether they are trust worthy or not. Granted, im not 100%. A few fakers have slipped by me. But for the most part I can sense danger. Or if someone is evil or genuine. it's creepy, and my friends don't believe me until later, (one of my friends lives by it when it comes to boyfriends for her) but it's useful in this sketchy world

Re: I can "read" people and feel people's "energy"...

I have shifted vibrations 5 times within the past year and with each shift a new ability shows up and the others seem to fall away. 
I would look into doing energy healing of some sort.  I have been doing Reiki, Shambala Reiki (picking up past life info), and now Rainbow energy healing.  It has helped me grow spiritually, connect to the Universal Life Force, and help others in the process. 
I am not bragging, seriously, but I have gone from…feeling negative energy spots on others, sensing their feelings in public (when close), picking up past life (movies) while healing, talking to those who have past over, talking with earth-bound spirits and helping them cross over, feeling what the other is feeling IN their body in the past life, picking up psychic attacks, chasing out low level demons and energy “bottom feeders”, to sensing the energy (emotions) of people within a one mile radius.  The last shift also caused me to feel nauseous in a movie theater and I had to leave, it was too overwhelming. I learning to put up a type of two way mirror cylinder around me, so I could sense and send positive energy, but any negative energy would bounce off the mirror.  It has worked great.
DEFINATELY look into how to work with your chakras (your 7 energy centers).

Re: I can "read" people and feel people's "energy"...

oh i am still struggling to deflect negative energy.. it does knock me off my feet, whether infuriating me or depressing me. sometimes it gets so bad that i do not want to leave the wallowing pit of negativity. but i always rebound, because the light and love both within me and within my friends, both in reality and here, won't let me fall to rock bottom.

Re: I can "read" people and feel people's "energy"...

Unfortunately the world today has produced way too many souls that are slave to a negative mind. My compassion flows to them for their suffering is really uneccesary. A teacher of mine once suggested that they are new souls and must go through this to be able to evolve. Negativity doesn't seem to affect me much at all anymore, I mostly respond to with the thought of “Thank you for showing me how I don't want to be”. We all have the ability to be negative, some actually enjoy it. Myself, I prefer to function from a place of love and compassion.  Namaste' _/\_

Re: I can "read" people and feel people's "energy"...

Add me to the “read people” category. 

Re: I can "read" people and feel people's "energy"...

I think reading people's energy can help you empathize with them.  One just needs to be careful not to assume another's energy as one's own or project one's own energy onto others, particularly if that energy is negative.

My thoughts for the moment…

Re: I can "read" people and feel people's "energy"...

Hi everyone,
You may all already know of this book but, if not, it could be really helpful for those of you who have been able to clearly access your energetic healing abilities. I'm about 1/2way through “Energy Medicine” by Donna Eden and it's very inspiring and practical in terms of the simplicity of the techniques she teaches. Obviously it would be most helpful to have an actual course or seminar w/ her but the book is a great start!
Cheers,
Sara

Re: I can "read" people and feel people's "energy"...

Morning Mitzi :) I agree, I believe that people have the ability to “read” energy at varying degrees. I have been very fortunate to have this gift granted to me. I work to refine my abilities and request them, as a healer, every day. It is very “real” and also very beautiful. I think, like a “few” people I know, I ran away from the gift, for a very long time…. honestly, sometimes, I still do. I laugh at myself sometimes because energy is energy. Where am I going to hide from it? I laugh as I write this… As long as I personally, stay out of the “story” and I do  “download” the story, timing is of no matter… I focus on just sending loving light, that is my part. Enjoy!

Re: I can "read" people and feel people's "energy"...

Varying degrees… that's it Erica!

Our energy is in proportion to the resistance it meets.

We all have the energy to be happy.  The pursuit of happiness is a great activity. 

But one must be open and alive. It's the greatest feat a human being can accomplish.

Re: I can "read" people and feel people's "energy"...

I think i can do this too but only some times.  Sadly my meds tend to suppress the energy and the feelings at times.  I am very much open to it and as Christine said my ability did increase over time.
