Catching up...
It's been a while and as I'm at home with flu, getting some very much desired rest and recovery, this is a good a time as any to do some catching up here.
Regarding that person who walked out on the job (see previous entry), I couldn't interpret the funny fluttering feeling in my stomach in a way that made sense. After all, this person apparently had a pretty strong work history. My boss and the company were keen to have this person. While I was not the only one who had doubts about this person, I was the only one who didn't have prior knowledge of who she was on a personal level, nor did the others say anything to me about this person until after she left.
So, taking the advice of something I'd read, I refrained from any further comments. I had my doubts, too: what if my gut feeling wasn't what I thought? A lesson in learning to trust my senses.
The feeling was a funny fluttering sensation in my stomach. I could tell it wasn't nerves or a stomach ache when I found I could recall the sensation by will. And I noticed it was the same feeling I had around someone who has been ill. So I've come to associate it with a sense of either a physical or mental illness, or trauma. I'd never picked up on things that way before or at least, not so I'd noticed. Until recently.
Does this fluttering feeling encompass all types of illnesses and will I eventually be able to differentiate them? I have in the past felt people's illnesses via touch. They touched me or I, them, or something which had their energy on it. My arm would go numb.
I recall several years ago, a friend of mine had to put several gifts given by a ex-friend in a charity bag for me, because I literally could not touch them. The energy was really spiky and the longer I held them, the worse the feeling until my hands were almost numb. I know I need to stay away from this ex-friend but still wish I could help her in some way. I think, maybe when I'm stronger and my abilities more fully developed, I'll attempt it.
