Yes I do. I feel intensely desperate for people's pain to be healed. Sometimes people I don't even know. It doesn't feel like the same desire I have for myself to be healed, it actually feels completely selfle
ss. Today, and I wasn't feeling manic or even good, I found myself praying for a shop keeper on the side walk outside his cell phone or whatever shop, while driving past. My heart went out for him so completely as if for someone I love and care for deeply. I don't know if it's a judgement on my part that he needed prayer although I didn't pity him. I hoped for him the kind of good business, prosperity and a really good, easy day, that any hard-working man deserves.
I've felt the same a long while ago while looking into the eyes of a young child staring through the window of a passing vehicle. I find it interesting how some people just grabs me and illicit that feeling of connection and the perceived ability to feel them and send them some kind of spiritual strength.
I have heard the term 'empath' but never looked into it.
