Psychic abilities

QUESTION: Masters, I wonder if I’m insane or if I actually have this power. I feel like I can literally feel other people, like I’m so connected to them that if I try I can actually become them. I don’t think I’m psychic, but I definitely feel intuitive to a strong degree, like I can sense how someone is feeling. I often feel like a chameleon, being able to be other people if I choose, as I can feel them. Is this real? ~Peter, UK

ANSWER: You are very empathic, which means you can feel the energy around you. Most people, if they open themselves to the atmosphere in a room, can tell when there has been an angry argument or tumultuous laughter occurring in the space before they arrived. This is residual energy. People who are upset give off waves of their emotional feelings which can easily be read by others. You may call this using your intuition or your psychic ability.

As with each soul, you have the choice to decide exactly how you wish to feel. If you are having a sad day and come upon people who are laughing and having a good time, you may open to their happiness and transform your state to match theirs or remain morose. This is easy enough to do, but most people like to share their negativity with others; they don’t want to become happy just because others are, but would rather try to get others to become unhappy to join their mood.

One definition of psychic is the ability to perceive that which is invisible. Therefore, anyone who senses the moods of others, is able to feel fear or sexuality, or employs intuition is psychic. It is very real but impossible to measure or show to anyone else.

This is not becoming the other person; it is mimicking their emotional state. You are definitely not crazy but more aware of energy than most people. It is not a strange power but the recognition of power as it is given off by others.
