As a conscious empath I don’t only check if an emotion I feel is mine, I also check the source of the emotion.
Sometimes it is a Dark Side transmission, but mostly it’s another person I accidentally connected with.
I have two graduate students live in the downstairs apartment. Two girls.
Every time I go downstairs with a package for the mailman to pick up, or to check my mail, they hear me: the old wooden staircase makes an unholy noise. That’s when they connect, and I have to feel their emotions for a little while.
Both girls have a big issue about boys… it comes with their age.
