You may have these strong "senses" but please know that you may not always be right. Even this post put me off a bit, to be honest. I would much more likely open up to someone who doesn't pretend to know it all. If you already know how I'm feeling, why would I need to elaborate further?
I ask because I want to try to help. Some people just need ANYONE to talk to. One kind word could save someone. One person caring could make them hold on that one more day so the real help could get there.
I know most people don't believe in it, but I sense the states of being, not the events. For example, I can feel someone's stress, another's calmness, love, joy, anger, depression, etc, etc in a room of 10, with my eyes closed and my back turned. I never would have thought this possible either, until it happened. It's not something I can turn off, though I really wish I could sometimes. Funerals really hurt.
There are things that happen in the Universe that we can't explain. I accept and embrace these things. I was never a spiritual person prior to 2017, but an experience changed me and I fully know there is more to it than life, then death, then nothing.
There is magic in us all. Finding it is key to the Sanskrit prayer of "Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu"
I know I'm weird and seem crazy for saying any of this, but it happens. Most religions believe in miracles. While fighting in the depths of my soul, I have found my gift.
