Empathic Energy Transfers

It seems this week a lot of people around me had some big issues to deal with...employment problems, family problems, health problems...so I ended up "listening" quite a bit this week! So maybe in combination: that time of the month, being drained by excessive needling and all that listening...sheesh! I was very very exhausted by afternoon!

So I didn't feel so crash hot, I had a huge "deficiency" headache my eyes were as sore as sandpaper and I had absolutely no energy left to cook...spent 3 hours lying on the couch before I could peel myself off to go out...I ended up bugging my one friend that lives nearby for dinner.

After I had some fuel in me I felt a whole lot better and he decided to accompany me grocery shopping (Friday night LOL no better night to do groceries if you want to avoid long queues and crowds!)

Before too long he was totally drooping and barely had enough energy to push the trolley let alone accompany me through every aisle. The guy was totally fatigued. Not only that he said his eyes were so sore and he had a headache...as soon as he mentioned this...I immediately knew what had happened...he had taken on my ailments while I had steadily gained some "bounce" back! And he complained it NEVER EVER HAPPENS except with me! And it was then that we had a revelation...an Empathic Energy Transfer!

And the beauty of it is that this friend has Asperger's. Which means that he has difficulty relating to others and understanding things like feelings and emotions...so it was kinda "cool"that he got like that cos we realised he must have a connection with me and so is actually able to Experience Empathy! Lol poor guy, he actually ended up having to catch a bus home...just up the street, he was that energy sapped...meanwhile I had obviously stolen some of his energy and managed to lug a huge amount of groceries home with some energy to spare!!!

Interesting post Macs one which I haven't given much thought to until reading this.
Empathic healing verses Empathic suffering comes to mind.
Empathy is a wonderful gift that offers healers the opportunity to better understand the pain people are suffering.
But then there are sensitive individuals (like your friend) who unwittingly soaked up ills and hurts that don't belong to them from people in their surroundings.

Definitely food for thought, a subject to delve into and learn more about.
