Okay, it's 4:51 right now, and exactly 11 minutes ago the strangest thing I've experienced to date just happened to me.

my skull started tingling;

the skin above and around my temples felt like it was being pulled tight into the middle of something, like it's contracting

it felt like this tension, anxiety, fear....

then it felt like those zones around my temples were pressing in on my skull

I've been dealing with being empathic my whole life...this has never happened before.

it felt like somebody's hand was holding the left side of my face. gentle, but firm

wtf? The right side of my face got three distinctly different muscle twiches. Corner of the eye, corner of the mouth, and right nostril

Then *snap* just like that, it's gone. Like, I just thought "Get out of my head." and visualized these gates closing in my imagination, and it was just gone.


WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!

Step awaaaaaay from the pipe.....:D

Well, I got my answer, but it only raises more questions.

Last night, I was talking with Katt, and said that I suspected we shared a bond that was somewhat stronger than either of us believed it to be. We agreed that we would test that out. If she thought of me intensely enough that an empath could sense it, she would remember the exact time, and I would do the same.

Well at 1:30 Los Angeles time, she was thinking of me--of my face in particular. Add 3 hours for East Coast time, because I'm in Pittsburgh.

As I said to Manu online, holy sheet.

So now I know. Weird thing is, I'm no less freaked out than I was before.

and another note: I just asked her if she felt anything change after about 10 minutes. She said she did.

10 minutes is when I thought "Get out of my head." and visualized these giant iron gates closing in my imagination.

I have similiar things happen, but never across that much distance. I can usually turn my head and get the general direction of the "signal" and with that get an idea who it happens to be.

Kinda like the old "ears burning" thing, I guess....and Qtr, my pipe is empty:p

Now add this to it: we're both only 18.

I plan on doing a little digging on this, but I suspect that for two 18-year-olds to have that happen is....well...to say it is rare would be a gross understatement, I suspect.

I don't remember feeling it when I was 18, but I did have alot of headaches then:p

To me it feels like a small magnet, just a patch pulling at me. Sometimes, when its someone or something bad about to happen, it feels stronger, painful. I've learned to "fight back" when that happens and usually I can make it go away.

So far so good. Atleast I'm not hearing voices (yet:p ).

from another point of view, Zach, as we are young... those of us who are free thinkers have not been numbed to the societal "normalities" and the pains and spasmic ouchies that accompany getting older (so I hear). So, perhaps for those of us who feel empathy in such ways... it's more normal to feel something like that at a younger age? Just speculation, really. But a theory, nonetheless.

I feel that some people are more naturally in tune to this. Little children especially seem to be able to sense supernatural phenomena, probably because society does not influence them. I have had experience with the kind of connection you posted about. Try reading about astral travel and what not...This series of books explains the experiences of a professor that I used to have. They're pretty interesting...

I would but for one problem: broke college boy

could you have just...

wanted it so bad ....that you willed it to happen?



not to play devils advocate....but...i dunno...

No.

Try the college library...if they don't have anything by wesselman they should at least have harner or someone else big in that field.

Any suggested search terms?

Um, if you 'focused' on another 'part' of the body...what do you think would happen? Give it a try! You know you want to try it!

No, actually I don't.

If for no other reason than if it works, it would (a) put Her in a...*chooses words carefully* very strange situation, (b) I don't want to, and (c) if we ever progress to that level in our relationship, what if that turns out being better than me?

Being "sensative" and "empathic", you put out a vibration that's different than that of the people around you, sort of like a beacon that certain, um, energies, look for. Some of them can be a bit confused and angry, so please be careful. Also, I'd be a bit concerned that there was a more physical manifestation instead of the usual lighter feelings and such. Sounds like things are turning up a notch. Be careful not to get too weirded out by this, though, as fear throws a ****load of energy all over the room. When in doubt, go outside and hug a tree. Really.
You may be well advised to consider some forms of protection from unwanted visitors if you're going to continue letting them channel thru you. Some you may try could include "Blue Light", "2-Way Mirror Armor", and various cleansing spells (invoking and devoking, depending on your circumstances).
Check out your local New-Age book store. Do they sell incense, amulets, candles, oils, stones, and stuff? Have a BB with 3x5 cards by the door? Bell when you open it? Big, fat-assed cats walking around the shop? Get a good, peaceful vibe from the place and the people there, sorta like grandma's kitchen? That would be a good place to start checking for people in your area that can steer you towards help and protection from, um, annoyances, and worse. Oh, BTW, buy something. The good ones aren't rich, and could use the cash-flow.
My apologies if you're already in with a group or coven, but not everyone is trustworthy in this game. Check your gut feelings and listen to the little voices if in doubt about cerain "experts". Generally speaking, if the real-deal folks like you, you'll get help from them, as long as you return it.
BB, Griff

Nope, not with a group, coven, anything like that. There aren't any places in The Burgh that I know of for new-age anything, but LA has a big huge supply of them, and I've got friends with access to tons of stuff.

Thanks for the help, Griff, you'll most definately look into some of this stuff.

Question, tho, is there a way to block out some of the people, while not others? I don't want to block out my friends or family, or Her...

No problem, glad I could help. Keep looking, you'll find each other.
As for the filtering, it's something you learn to do after a lot of time and effort by recognizing the feeling of your friends and family. For me, anyway. Hard to explain, but you know when your Mom walks into the room when you're reading a magazine with headphones on, right? Kinda like that. Trick is to just let it happen, if you concentrate too hard you can get mixed up with things you want to have happen, or remember, instead of what is.
If the "others" give you a bad vibe, then turn off as quick as you can. Guess its kinda reactive, but you learn to go with gut feelings eventually. Women call it "intuition", Stephen King called it "The Shine".

.....As a Dr. I advise you to smoke 2 joints, eat 3 vikadin and get a morphine shot.
