Learning and Teaching As We Go

Sarah and I have been practicing a new aptitude. I found out that I can feel other people's emotions when Sarah uses her gift and I am sympathetic to her. It's an interesting sensation. It's also very weird to feel your own emotions second hand. It's kind of like when your foot goes to sleep and you're just starting to get feeling back into it, but the feeling is distant. You feel like you're foot is several inches off of the floor on a cushion of air and it might fall off of it at any moment, but of course your foot is firmly planted if you look at it. It's different than when I have sympathy with someone else's hand. That's more like a tingle if it's a light contact, or my hand feels like their hand and does what theirs does if I go deep.

There is also something else we've been practicing. I reach out to an object and see auras through it. Then I reach out to Sarah and she can see what I see through the object. She can then feel people's emotions from the object. I can either feel and see what she is feeling and seeing or I can let it go on under my notice, just like I can see with my eyes while the object sees auras, when I want, without having to stop and then awaken the gift again. It's sort of like if you had a TV screen and a book and look at one and the other goes out of focus. This can all go on without splitting my attention. Of course I might miss things going on in one area while I'm concerned with another, and it likely makes me less attentive overall. If I were to split my attention then I can be equally attentive to both--I found I can do that instead of being spaced out like when I let some of the attention roam on its own. Sarah and I will have to practice her using an object without my direct attention.

In the interest of education there is one other thing I wanted to mention. I wasn't sure if I should do it, but Sarah assured me it was okay, since we are trying to teach the gifted what we learn while exploring our gifts. While exploring each other I can tune into the sensations that Sarah is feeling. It's really quite something. It would be nice if could then let her feel it--sort of double up--but it doesn't work that way. I'm the one who can double up. Now I don't know what else to say, or that I would we comfortable with saying. A gentleman never tells and all that.
