Overwhelming Intense Feelings

[Mandala]

There have been some threads written on current feelings, ascension symptoms, divine indifference, etc.

For a year or more, I have found myself experiencing divine indifference or detachment from intense traumatic experiences. I can say, it is not something I tried to induce, it simply came over me.

And if there is such a thing as ascension symptoms, I pretty much have them all. Of course, they could be symptoms of 100 other things.

But today I came home with intense feelings of sadness. I don't know if I have been influenced by threads I've read, discord in Egypt, info from Charles, or intuitive impending events.

My question is, has anyone else had intense, almost overwhelming feelings? I feel like an empath, or at least what I've read an empath experiences.

What interesting times we live in.

i can say since 2011 started i have had one blow after another...and i keep rolling with the punches, turning negative into positive when i can. but i think you may be onto something. i am not a clumsy person and lately i am bound an determine to trip, cut myself (accidentally), or get sick. thankfully, i have built my immune system back up and am feeling fine, and thankfully those "sh&t happens" moments are getting further apart, but i am still struggling with keeping focused on accidents. i swear on baby jesus i have almost busted my butt 10x's in january and the first days of feb. i keep catching myself by saying "NO NO NO, not happening" and bracing myself catching my fall or accident at the right moment. grrr.

THankyou Mandala for sharing your feelings!

Yes, I had very strong emotions too towards the recent activities taking place in Egypt and they are mostly intense sadness. I actually didn't really expect that I would have this level of intensity, but this intense sadness surfaced to my awareness.

I think that the threads and the changes to the awareness of things certainly has contributed to the changes in the way I view things now, and also my emotions or attitudes towards certain things.

[Decibellistics]

Have no worry. These things are only natural. You can help relieve some of that sadness. We all can. Just focus.......

i rekon we're becoming more globally energetically sensative

[Anie]

I've been feeling desensitized with world events lately, not caring or loving the people in Austrailia or Egypt. I really don't know why... also having visions, pictures showing up with ways to hurt myself. Which led me to cry for over an hour. Last year I was at the doctor which gave me anti-depressants, which only made things worse with intense nightmares, heart palputating, wicked visions as well. Getting myself off those drugs was so hard, it was almost like I couldn't function better without them because I was extremely tired and very weak when I started to get them off my system. I'm not this type of person on being depressed or angry, so I constantly feel lost with little hope for myself.

The one I've been feeling most is intense vertigo since 2011 started, like everything is not balanced in myself. I'm extremely dizzy in the morning and if I move my head up in the sky I feel like I'm about to faint, which is odd cause I like looking at the sky.

[Snowbird]

Ah yes, all day today I felt like I was on the verge of tears. And yet, I had some great laughs and reasons to laugh today. I felt very sad and it was rather overwhelming.

I read through the ascension symptoms on another thread and I swear that I must have 95% of them. That doesn't mean that I think that I will take off in flight. I've actually had many of these signs or symptoms for over a year now. They come and go. I don't know how to define this.

[Gone002]

i have been picking up on strange feelings, like im getting overwhelmed by emotions from my past and current events. Its like a burning sensation around me, werid huh.

these feelings and searching for the truth made me find avalon last year. they have changed from a destain for the world to what i mentioned above.

[Henners]

As a man (often we are encouraged to be tough and show no emotion) i have always been very emotional. Some people think "i'm different" but i know that i am more in touch with my emotions than any one else i know. But lately, it seems that more things are affecting me in strange ways. People blatantly breaking the law really piss me off. But when i meet some of the people i work with, tour guides, other drivers etc, i often give them a hug. Before, they seemed to recoil, but lately, more and more people are enjoying a good hug. I feel more people are becoming more intune with their fellow man. Or maybe i am getting soft, who knows......

.
saddness has everything to do with affection... it the same quality of emotion put in a different context.

saddness turns readily and quickly into joyousness... if you let it...no point in resisting it... :yu: l

I hope those of you who are experiencing this sadness will be able to overcome soon. I have worked through it by focusing every thought, every spoken and written word in to positivity. My whole life, until now, I have been extremely empathetic to the point it was so painful. It took me years to realize the purpose of that sadness and pain. I use that emotion to fuel my Love energy. I then use this energy on people, Earth, Animals etc. I use this energy to manifest the reality we are all working towards. It will happen friends, we all need to fuel it and keep the momentum going. Don't get lost in the pain, use it and the faster you do this, the faster we will all live a pain-free life.

-Sending you Lots of Love Today

Do you not think some of you are reading a bit too much into all this? That maybe you are just feeling a bit down or sad one day, then you come on here and spend hours and hours reading all this stuff then you convince yourself THAT MUST BE IT! Then you join all the dots together, not because they actually but because you WANT them to join together. You want to believe in ascension, you want to believe in everything you read here. Anie is probably the only person that has posted that realises the cause of their problems, they got drugs from their doctor and they know their affecting their health. For most people they would leave that small fact out and then leave the rest in, join the dots together and convince themselves it must be something else. Must be Egypt, must be divine intervention, and because they spend hours reading about this kind of thing they start believing everything they read. They convince themselves that is what it is.

I'm not saying any of you are right or wrong but if your symptons for feeling sad or down or distressed at things they see on TV. Those are normal reactions for a lot of people. No hocus pocus going on. It's just natural human emotions. Some of you may look at Egypt and get sad, i get happy. Good on them for fighting for independance. Nice to see a country fighting back for a change.

Thank you for bringing it up. I now realized that since mid of last year I became more and more emotional. I cry easier and while before I used to hold back tears now I can't. I'm also prompted to follow my instincts more (before I used to ignore them and follow my intentions). I also notice manifestations happening: I was discussing a lot about a certain project that I wanted to start with my partner and it "happend" that I met the right people to start it with. And this happend twice in the last 6 months, on exactly what we were discussing. I also used to feel a certain anxiety about the future, now I learned to let go. I know I'm on a path to evolve as a human being and I learn new things about myself and about our nature every day. I now take the time to reflect and understand them. I want to mention I don't watch TV, I only read headlines on the internet.

[bluestflame]

sometimes stuff gets triggered for release

[witchy1]

Nah, Im all good! I cry at weddings, funerals, babies. Just go with it.... sometimes a good old cry is just what you need.

Once you've allowed yourself to be sad and have a good cry, take some time out by yourself to smell the roses - ground yourself. Sleep in, read a book, learn to paint, sing etc - enjoy your life. Do some things that just YOU want to do.

Oh and stay away from all the media (including here) for a few days. Just focus on yourself.

Take good care of yourself everyday. Cultivate a real love for life. Be genuinely thankful every day, for bringing you into being.You may not have everything you want, but you have everything you need here with us in Avalon. You Do have the power and the strength.

Remember : The sky is everywhere and it goes,with heart:)

Mandala- thank you for your post. It seems others 'feel' your confusion. Here is a quick link, fast read: http://www.interluderetreat.com/meditate/vibes.htm . Cleansing is very important; our energy won't be able to flow. It sounds like you are in the beginning steps of 'awareness'. As Decibellistics stated - focus.
There are many Youtube videos that can help you learn to focus (meditate); just find the one that 'speaks' to you best. You will feel better in the long run and your compassion for the masses will come. Let the love flow. If you feel the need to cry- cry! My personal recipe for cleansing: I realize I'm sad; I ponder what triggered the event; if need be, i cry; i then flood my brain with happy thoughts; I think of 'happy thoughts' daily- these thoughts are specific to me (i.e. wearing overalls without shoes, squishing the mud between my toes as I look out at a beautiful vegetable and flower garden). That floods my body with thoughts of a connection to the earth, seeing different colors in my minds eye helps bring my 'vibe' up and the 'feeling' of oneness (toes in the dirt) - I then feel more alive. I can better cope with the autrocities happening around the world.) But, everything happens for a reason. You were meant to post here.
Focus, love, and give. :hug:
(as a side note: have you read about chakras? You might want to check out the chakras colors and compare them to your favorite color)

it is as if i am reading my own words.... freaky... thanx!!!

Yes overwhelming head kicks on the right side of my head!!

Two years ago I stopped watching TV altogether. It was a natural progression that took place over several years. After a short amount of time, I realized I felt better. I still keep up with what is going on in the world, but the detachment from TV helped me to understand it's purpose and to break-free of the "chains". I like to step back and reflect, it helps me sort things out. Maybe it could help you too if you are feeling overwhelmed.

[Fred Steeves]

I've pretty much adapted to it, sort of like getting a deeper and deeper tan during summer.

Although a sun burn can still happen with an overdose of exposure...:ohwell:


Cheers,

It is no wonder people have these feelings of being overwhelmed and intense emotional distress. And everyone experiences these natural growing pains. The worst thing you can do is bottle them up and ignore them. As uncomfortable as they feel, it is better to discuss them openly. Push back with postive thoughts and energy. Step away from things causing the stress to catch your emotional breath and understand and digest the new things you have learned. Most of all draw on the positive influence and energy of others here, there are many here that perfectly understand what you are feeling.

[Nomatic]

These threads are quite useful as we can process the current energy changes and the feelings that accompany then and input the clarified signal back into the group mind........
Lets keep this going..

[slipknotted]

yeah for me too its hard right now there seems alot of forces are at work to kick us around i try to step back and look how the littlest things can make you smile theres something more than the 33 and the machine or the opposite i know it and look for it there is something dont know what but i feel it even now find it it's there.

What interesting times we live in.

can relate to this.
A few years ago I woke up one day and could feel the pain of people all around me, it was truly the worst time in my life. I was in such bad shape with it that my mother told me I should go talk to someone, a priest or shrink of some kind.
I could not go anywhere without seeing through peoples fake smiles and knowing the true pain they were dealing with within. It really was something like a stigmata for me. The little old lady dragging her trolley up the road would bring me close to tears, the young lad on the corner acting all tough would do the same thing to me, because I knew that was not what he was and I just felt so deeply for him. It really was the most horrible thing I have ever gone through and I have gone through a lot.
I should also say here that I am not a religious person and have always been considered to be one of the lads, a man’s man, so this was very very hard for me to get through.

[Mandala]

Thanks for all the wonderful responses.

For me, I do know that the feelings of detachment are not personally manufactured, they have just occured, like a gift.

It is beautiful that Bill provides us an outlet to discuss things that are on our minds. I don't post a lot, but when I do, it is so good to hear from others who can validate our feelings, assist in research and add their opinions and answers. Bless you all.

[Alecs]

Aah, yes, I can so relate as well.

A very caring Being pointed me to this beautiful healing mantra (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9OCEfi4Lv0) at just the right moment ...

and I thank you.

Some time during 2010, I also started to have feelings of this sort, to a degree which still amazes me. I now view my own life and relationships in a way I never thought was possible.
I got over so many things that used to sadden me horribly, and would almost put me on the brink of mind-numbing depression. Things like:
- Having a useless, mundane, brain sucking job
- Having no partner
- Interpersonal conflicts (with partner/very close friend)
- Having less friends then other people (generally)
- Financial trouble

In such a short time, I’ve made a swirl from being generally negative to generally positive and happy, even though nothing physical has actually changed in my life, or, at least not as I wanted it to change. It’s 10 times better now that I can see more clearly… And, of course, not all of my fears have gone away, I still have some emotional and lifestyle issues to deal with. However, I’m truly amazed by this this “turn-off switch”. I’ve completely stopped noticing certain aspects of life, which would have been more than impossible a year ago.

To give an example - if I were to go hungry, or enter a financial screw-up… It will cause me some distress, but it would not be as bad as what I would have gone through, had I faced it while in my previous state of blindness and ignorance.

There are several things I’ve concluded from my personal experience, as well as that of my friends:

- Once you see and learn all of this, there’s no going back. No matter what your life consists of. No matter what you do for a living. No matter what kind of values you represent. The knowledge will just sit there, at the bottom of your mind and there’ll be no getting rid of it.
Even if you don’t think about it all the time, it will pop up by itself frequently to remind you of its presence.

- Your “range” instantly widens, and you start thinking of the future, very vividly and far beyond the span of your current lifetime.

- You drop all of the drama and negativity ( and begin to get concerned or annoyed at people who generate them). You receive an enormous motivation to do good for those around you. There's suddenly a lot more joy and humor in your life.

- There will usually be some bits of your life that will force you to “phase” back to the way you viewed things before, mostly because of all the people around you, who are still stuck in the old version of the world and are constantly trying to pull you back (calling you crazy, stupid, utopian, naïve, looking down on you etc.). Naturally, this kind of change scares them. But in my experience, that has never really worked. You slip just as much as it is necessary for you to do whatever you have to do to survive, nothing actually reverts back to the way it used to be… Let’s say you might have to eat meat so you won't insult someone, or you have to make a tiny lie, it doesn’t matter. Eventually, everything that needs to be eliminated from your life, will be, all by itself.

I mean, at least I don't expect this change to be so drastic as to remove every single human flaw, cause that's just impossible.


PS: You know what, it's no wonder people are depressed. If you take a decent soul and put it in our world... of course it's going to be unhappy and constantly wonder whether this degraded, materialistic philosophy is all there is to life. Subconsciously, people know this can't be it... all they need is the truth.
