Some of us pick them up too...it's both a blessing and a curse. Sometimes us sensitives have to stop to observe if what we feel belongs to us or is the 'reading we're receiving' of emotions or physical discomfort from someone around us...
So resumé of the links in my own words without copy pasting. The links explain how emotions have a frequency. And so everyone is constantly emitting signals broadcasting how they feel to those around them whether they're aware of it or not.
It's not a mind thing... Everything is energy including emotions and love and hugs. So actually consciously hugging yourself in an embrace of love carries more healing energy than a hug or a pat on the shoulder from someone who doesn't really care or is not really "invested" in your well being... in my experience ...
It's not so much about the feelings. It's more about observing what they're doing to you and others as you act them out. And then deciding if we feel good about the way we have "acted out" those feelings.
For instance if someone always lashes out in anger then feels awful afterwards, then has to make amends, by observing what is happening and deciding to manage it in a way that doesn't make one feel awful afterwards and has a better outcome one can feel happy with oneself more of the time. So it's not erasing the anger, it's working out what it is that it's triggering then responding without allowing what was triggered (which often has nothing to do with the current situation) to influence the response. This sort of awareness brings more inner peace. It changes the balance % between feeling annoyed and feeling happy. And it places the responsibility of ones own emotions in ones own hands with the result that ones inner peace is not at the mercy of other people's egotistical "games".
Some of the posts you shared (or anyone else) could start someone on a path of self inquiry and develop into a journey that will lead to enlightenment ...
Well that painting was created around 2016/2017. Don't think I was on CS by then ... But I think I may have an idea of the period of time you're referring to although I wouldn't remember which year it was ...
Whichever way, you were obviously meant to receive this "jolt" at this time ...
I like snake medicine!!! During an exhibition a snake made its way into the room and wrapped itself round the easel where my "Duality" painting was being exhibited. Snake medicine's main message (as I found out later) is to not fear duality as without the 2 poles there could be no balance. It's not duality we should worry about but rather the lack of balance between the 2 components of it. One of the things the snake represents is cosmic consciousness. Anyway, after the exhibition finished I created a snake medicine painting.
And still by having it we shall be none the wiser if it's the same experience as somebody else who might be sharing their experience in words. Because everything is relative and we can only "hear" within the limitations imposed by our own experiences, perception and understanding of any given description. And even as an empath and intuitive, still I only "hear" and "see" within the limitations of where I'm at this side of the veil. In spite of the many glimpses beyond the veil.
RE: What is the difference?
Don't agree with me ...
