Several days ago I received an email from a woman, Jackie, who described her experience with feeling where other people have pain or illness when she glides her hand around the person. Her abilities are natural to her, not developed, and she has a lot of questions, since she never learned about this. Read her story and my reply to her. I hope you find it interesting and inspiring. If you have some personal stories please share them. Here it is:
If I scan my hands about 2 or 3 inches over a persons body I can feel if they have pain or even illness. I can feel the intensity of any pain. If my hand feels like it’s going to burn up then I deduce that the person has a tremendous amount of pain in that area. I can tell the shape and depth of the area.
If the person is ill and isn’t aware, I usually get goose bumps, and feel nervous, and afraid when that happens. I start to feel ill myself. My first instinct is to leave or at least stand away from that particular person. I feel that I can’t handle news like that especially if it’s a friend or even a distant acquaintance.
If the person is a friend and this feeling overtakes me just to stand next to that person I then am compelled to let whatever words flow from my mouth come out. Sometimes I leave quickly and try to calm myself down. I really try to suppress the nervousness I have during and after. I can’t get rid of the turmoil inside of me until I tell the person how I felt and what happened. Then I always feel so relieved and even smile that the message/news whatever it’s called has been passed on to the right person.
I really need to know what this is and feel that perhaps I am supposed to do more with this gift but what? I am the biggest skeptic of my own gifts..therefore I challenge myself…any ideas
respectfully Jackie C.
Below is my answer to her:
Hello, Jackie.
What you describe is known to me. Not so personally, although I do remember that when I healed migraine from my wife once, using an energy healing technique, I felt my fingers ache a little with an unusual pain, a little bit like some current was passing through them. But I know from what I’ve learned that those whose gift at feeling others people’s energy field is strong that they can feel the pain of others more vividly on themselves. The pain usually starts to feel at the fingers or the palm, depending on what you use for scanning. Then it can move up the hand and even get to the shoulder. I heard an advice lately to not let it pass above the elbow. Since you don’t heal the person while you scan (as I understand from your mail), I’d advice you the following:
If your feeling of pain rises from the palm over your wrist, first try shaking your other hand, if it’s free. Shake it like you’re trying to get something off it.
If this doesn’t help, withdraw from your scanning and go and wash your hands with water up to elbows. Washing hands with water is recommended in most (if not all) energy healing systems I’ve studied. The water removes the energy that you collect on your hands. After washing the hands you should feel them “blank”, without any pain, as it should be normally.
Again, what you describe is perfectly normal for someone with the ability to feel other people’s pain and illness. And you’re correct: it is possible to feel some illness even before the patient himself knows about it. That’s one of the greatest things of energy diagnosis.
As to the fact that you’re afraid to tell, I totally understand you. First, people might not believe. And if they do, they might not like it and actually start feeling even worse, because of fear of the disease, etc. You have to have a stronger belief in yourself first and then take the responsibility to tell others that they’re sick before they know it. If you could heal it, then it would be easier as well.
Since you are already very sensitive I’d advice you to take some kind of an energy healing course. This will help you in several ways:
First, to get used to your ability and to see that it’s normal and nothing to be afraid of. See it as a gift, actually.
Second, you can learn how to undo pain and illnesses using energy manipulation. I’ve studied such a course and although my abilities to sense don’t seem to be as good as yours, I’ve been able to help people around me and to take away pain in different situations.
Sincerely,
Jacob.
Since then she also wrote me about her experience with helping her husband and taking away his pain using visualization while feeling the pain emanating from him.
I am not sure where I fall under, but this is the closest I could get to similar issues.
I feel pains in my palm while praying or worshipping. Sometimes, it feels a bit out of control. There has been a controversy over the fact if it is from the holy spirit or the devil.
I know for a fact that i am not possessed. The pain sometimes travel from my palm to my arm, heading close to my shoulder. I do not understand if it is the meditation during prayers or what. Few times, I feel it in/on my fingers. This tends to distract me and most times get me crying.
I have been trying to study and find out what triggers this.
Would consider your contribution.
Thanks and remain blessed
Dear readers, I understand what u have written in this website as I had encountered these pains sometimes sharply other times briefly and especially since I intercede for them according to God’s will. Jesus always take these away as he’s the divine healer n he has paid the price for All( believers n non believers)
You have a gift n I believe this gift is to help others especially those who do not know. And I can only tell u what works for me : pray Jesus if this pain is not from you please take it away from me, if it belongs to someone around me, I pray n offer it to you as you know who it belong to and I pray for healing and ask you to deliver them. In yr authority Jesus we pray Amen
For many years now I will pick up the pain of others close to me, especially if I have been talking with them or thinking about them a lot. For instance, I was on IM with a person from work, and all of a sudden my neck on one side and my lower back started hurting/aching. It can happen while texting as well. Because I don’t talk about this often, most people will think you are odd. I will just out of the blue say to them can I ask you a question, is your neck or whatever it is I am feeling bothering you, they will always say yes. I can actually start then picturing them and feeling where their pain is. I can also sense a persons energy or if they are upset, I will literally tell them they have to leave the room because they are making my insides shake. How do you stop this from occurring, or protect your own energy. I learned a long time ago, how to stop seeing figures, mostly shadows and other odd things but I can’t seem to block this. My daughter now too is bothered by shadows and can’t sleep alone, she only has peaceful sleep with me. She is 13. I am just trying to see what others may have done to ‘protect’ themselves. Thank you.
ok folks….I finally found some people like me. Yaya! Apparently, we all have the same type of gifts. I don’t get why our friends and family can so easily blow us off as if we are loony. However, for the most part,it looks as if most of us have learned to hide this ability in order to avoid ridicule and whatnot. I have too. No more though. I am who I am and can do what I can do. One problem though. How do I go about utilizing this gift? Rent a space and put up a sign? LOL I assume since there have been so many charlatans bilking people with false claims of miracle type of activities, that might not be the answer. Should we unite and show the world what we can do, so maybe others with this gift won’t have to go through what we have? I am so open to suggestions. I can’t just do nothing with it anymore and I don’t want to end up in a loony bin involuntarily, so now what?
i need help. if i am around someone that has a illness i become ill.this is an exsample, i was living with this person… one day my heart started going crazy i went to the hospital, the hospital transported me to another hospital once there i had to have a procedure done, a cathiter heart ablation, 2 of them done one week apart. when i left home for the hospital the person i was living with was fine no known problems. i was in the hospital for 2 weeks. when i got out i went to stay somewhere else for that night, i felt very compelled to see the person whom i had been staying with, i had a hard time sleeping that night. the next day apon awakening i went to see her, i knew when i looked at her something serious was wrong, i took her to the hospital, the hospital sent her to another hospital where she had open heart surgery… she is very ill. now everytime everytime before she gets sick with something serious i get it first and im not talking about a cold. this is not a case where some one is telling me they are sick then i get sick. i am actualy getting it first . this isnt the only person whom this happend with. it happens to me all the time when i am around people who have illnesses or are about to. what is going on?
I cant believe I am going to admit what I am about admit, as i usually feel like some sort of a nut case but here it goes… I take on other peoples pain or illnesses so much that I am constantly sick. My close friends and family even make jokes about it and tease me as if I have some sort of control over it (i dont),If someone enters a room I am in and says for example that they have a headache, In a very short time I will develope a busting migraine. No matter what their complaint, I will develope the same almost immediatley. Everyone slufs it off and says “It’s in my head” like I am making it up. They say this even when they are witness to unexplainable visual signs, An example of this happend at work; My co=workers have a running joke not to ever say anything about being sick in front of me or else i’ll “get it”. One day a co-worker was discussing how her little girl had an aweful night scratching her legs from several misquito bites she had gotten. The little girl would not stop scratching and was causing herlegs to bleed, As my co-worker told us this story i looked down at my arms and I had several welts (Misquito bites) that were popping up all of the sudden! I looked at the room full of co-workers and asked them if any of them had seen any misquitos in this room and they replied “no why do you ask?” I lifted my arms and showed them the welts that had just developed and they laughed and said I manifested it in my head. The co-worker that told the story of her daughters bites called me after work to inform me that when she got home her daughters bites were all gone and there was no sign of her scratch marks either, A few days later lady at church showed us her ankle all itchy and swollen with posion ivy, asked us to say a prayer for her. That night I had posion ivy on my legs even though i had not been in contact with any posion ivy that i am aware of. The lady from church said her posion ivy problem was gone the very next day. These things happen to me all the time and I am riddled with ailments that the doctors cant explain most of the time, Am I crazy? Do I mentally unconsiously make these things happen? I am glad to help or “take the pain” for the ones i love but It is taking its toll on me and everyone makes me feel like a hypocondriac or like i am sick all the time on purpose for attention or something. Most of the time I suffer in silence because I dont want them to know i am sick again. has anyone else experienced this? If so how do you cope? Is this some sort special ability that God has given me that i am supposed to be doing something with that i am missing??
i would like to know how this works. i want to help my friend who is suffering from many problems. plz guide me.
thanking you.
Wondering if anyone has experienced this?
Went to visit an acauntence tonight who was feeling depressed and had locked her self in her house. She describes her self as feeling all alone and could not stop crying. Every since i left her house i have not been able to stop crying. it has almost three hours now. I also have unexplained health problems that doctors can not figure out, and i am wondering if it is me taking other peoples pain. If it is me taking other peoples pain how do I heal myself?
I’m screwed, I fear. As a teenager, I was told by a psychic that I was an empath. I understood the basics, and was aware of some abilities in my older relatives. My grandmother and aunt were empaths for sure. There were bloodstoppers and such in our family way back. I started “stealing” pain at 15. Unfortunately, I didn’t know what to do with it once I had it. For some reason I stored it in my left leg. Sounds dumb. It was. I am 44 now and walk with a limp. Never had an injury to that leg. My question is, can this physical and emotional damage be reversed or am I s.o.l.? I suggest that you don’t use these abilities without doing plenty of research first
I have a question, that is running on my head for quiet sometime now. So here it goes. Is it possible that you can get someones energy UNINTENTIONALLY? Am a physiotherapist- few of my friends and patients who experiences as if they lost their energy after my treatment with them and they even made a comment that I suck their energy out. In fact one of my close friend after treatment, I rushed her to a hospital due to unexplained cardiac attack like sensation.this is not only occurs once but 2-3x already or just even we are hanging around. What I sensed to myself after treatment is I dont get tired and the weird thing is I felt like I am full of energy as if have not exerted any effort and it provides me the sense of joy everytime Im treating a person..I really appreciate your help.
You are a psychic vampire. Check it out online. I am just figuring out that I am an empath at 44. Puts a lot in perspective. I suggest you read all you can on the subject. Good luck
