Comments on: Whose Pain Is This? http://www.abundancetapestry.com/whose-pain-is-this/ Love Yourself, Love Your Life Tue, 07 Feb 2012 04:42:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Leslie http://www.abundancetapestry.com/whose-pain-is-this/comment-page-1/#comment-29802 Leslie Sat, 20 Jun 2009 14:51:09 +0000 http://www.attractionmindmap.com/?p=693#comment-29802 A couple weeks ago, I woke up in the middle of the night. My right knee hurt a little bit. I got up to look at it and saw a little bruise. No biggie. I bang into crud all the time. I went back to sleep, and about an hour later I woke to the most excruciating pain I've ever felt in my life, running from my right knee to right hip. I didn't know what was going on. I didn't want to wake my boyfriend or child, so I went to the couch and agonizingly writhed around and cried quietly til they woke up. My boyfriend offered to take me to the hospital. We went, they took some tests with inconclusive results. I was given a pain shot that did NOTHING. They sent me home with prescriptions for pain pills. The pain didn't go away. It intensified and traveled from my leg to my lower back, through my spine, and into my neck and shoulders (and how? these were the super pills!). I could hardly move at that point. I went to the ER a few days later and they had no idea what was wrong. The doctor looked at me like I was faking, but he gave me pain pills anyway. Again, they did nothing. A few days later, I went to my regular doctor. She thought it was Lyme's, so I was given another blood test. The initial one came back positive, but the confirmation test came back negative. Still no answers... The pain then moved to my hip/pelvis. I hadn't slept for weeks at this point! A few days later, I got a message from one of my BEST friends in Texas. I didn't know it, but she had been in a motorcycle accident, right around the time I started hurting. She broke her pelvis and injured her back. We talked on the phone for about an hour and told each other what was going on. That same night, my pain was gone. Completely. And now I'm so glad I was directed to this forum. Throughout my life I've had many, shall we say, "energy experiences," but none quite like this where it manifested the pain of another into my own body. I'd like to learn to control my own energy so that I can help others- and myself. Often, I will think of a person I haven't seen or heard from in a while, and they become my central focus of thought. Bada-bing, I get a phone call from them or an email message out of nowhere that same day. I talked about never getting coupons in the mail anymore and had a "weird" feeling when I said it. The next day, a boat load of coupons. Etc, etc... How do I focus? Any resources you could direct me to? I feel a little perturbed that I don't understand what's going on sometimes. I can control myself and tune in when it comes to uncased(?) energy, like that of the deceased, but living energy has me thrown for a loop! A couple weeks ago, I woke up in the middle of the night.

That was when we were 5 all the way to age 9. We are now 21, and he has gone through a lot of psychological problems, he is depressed and often suicidal. The part that bothers me the most is that I feel what he feels, when he feels it. And we are not always in contact with each other. It scares me, and it gets worse the farther we are apart. When he is depressed, I feel unbearably sad, for no reason. When he tried to kill himself the first time, he over dosed on pills, and I felt so sick I was taken into the ER. When he was taken into the institution, I began to feel claustrophobic all the time, no matter where I was, and I didn't know for the first week he had even been committed. Now that he is out I feel what he feels almost constantly, and he's told me it's the same for him, when I am sad he feels the pain of it, and when I am sick (such as now) he also become ill. I wish we didn't have this and I don't want to know what he feels, and I don't want him to know either. Sometimes it is useful, like when one of us needs someone we go to each other and the pain goes away, but when he is in pain, serious pain like when he slit his wrists I would rather not know. Because if/when he succeeds in killing himself as he has many times I am afraid that I might die too. Is this just something in our minds? Like weird coincidences? Or is it something else? Is there really such a strong connection between us? Or are we completely insane? Because we've tested this many times over the phone.

I have acctually been taking pain from the people in my life that are close to me. I was in class a few weeks ago and suddenly got this incredible pain deep in my leg and started screaming! Someone helped me down to the nurse come to find out later that night one of my best friends had nearly broken his leg in basketball practice. He was so amazed (and proud of how manley he felt) telling me how he felt no pain at all. I just laughed and let him believe he was tough. What is the medical term for this?

Thanks for writing about this ... I was half joking when I asked you to write a post on my behalf, but wow, you really did it - you're a hardworking girl! :D I had a good trip to Beijing and my knees were pain-free throughout, so don't worry about it. ;) Other than the occasional sudden migraines I got when I was in crowded places earlier this year, this knee incident has got to be one of the most bizarre experiences for me so far. I have heard of empaths and healers talking about these things, but experiencing it myself physically was really really weird! I'm learning to block and clear these things as they come - seems to be working well now, yay! I know I'm really late with my comments on this post, and by now you may have already switched to "DND" mode for your vacation. Nevertheless, I wish you and your family a safe and very enjoyable vacation. Happy holidays! @Steve - naughty naughty! I may think of you the next time I feel a back pain coming ... hehehe. ;) Hey Evelyn,

The role of the energy healer is to facilitate the process of healing. At the root of it all, it is to the patient's advantage to be fully committed to his/her own personal growth, development and healing. @Tom, for a while I thought you'd also be offering to shoulder the sufferings of all your students as they go through any pain agony in setting up their new businesses...LOL!! @Squawkfox, it seems that animals can pick up emotions very easily!!

Of course, you wouldn't want to sense the bad stuff!! @Andrea, I agree that having more people taking on the same pain does not serve anyone any good. I probably have some lessons to learn due to a bad knee and the lessons are mine to go through. For the empath or the intuitive healer, it is best to clear the discordant energy as I've described or set up a boundary of non-interference. @Steve, hahaha....if only we can aim who we want to transfer our pains to....!! @Amanda, it's amazing what distance healing can do to help our friends so far away! Do be careful about taking on their pain as well though....I don't think it is necessary. @Cath, oh wow….your ability to sense things is amazing!!
