Feeling another person’s energy is called emotional empathy. Everyone has this ability naturally. It exists in our emotional mind and most people are oblivious of it because we usually live in our thinking-mind and have a habitual tendency to keep emotions hidden under the carpet.
Almost eighty percent of our emotional energies do not belong to us, it has been absorbed from the people around us. Since we have no awareness about our emotions, we tend to suffer a roller coaster life of emotional turmoil both mentally and physically due to emotions that is not even ours in the first place. While on this subject, I would also suggest a stance that there are no good or bad energies, it is just our response of resistance and judgements that makes it become good or bad to the person experiencing it.
I can give you some examples to see that we do feel the energies of others around us. Imagine that your friend is taking you along to visit somebody’s house to express condolences for a death there. You do not know anyone in that house and you are just accompanying your friend to support them. When you enter the house and sit quietly beside your friend as you witness them talking, if you notice how you are feeling, you will find that you are also feeling sad. Even though there is no logical reason for this feeling. This is due to the sadness energy in the space around you.
Our emotions are energy vibrations in the energy field around us. We do not feel the emotions inside our physical body, we only feel the resultant physical sensations caused by our emotions inside our physical body. Humans are like tuning forks. When one fork vibrates in a certain frequency, another fork near it will start vibrating in the same frequency even though they are not in contact with each other. Similarly we constantly absorb the emotions of others around us but usually not aware of this, assuming that it is our own energy.
