Energy Antenna
by Jon

I am writing from New York City. I've experienced psychic events (minor, trivial things) before, but recently, I have experienced a shift that I am at a loss to explain. I've researched several books, done extensive Google and Yahoo searches, and stumbled through a great deal of websites, but still have yet to find a resource that I feel would be able (or inclined) to help me.

Over five years ago ('98 or '99), I would experience from time to time a sensation like a sneeze coming on from within my head. It would build within my skull and feel for all the world to be squishing or flattening me out of m own skull. Then it would pass. Sometimes this would happen as I began to sleep. It was scary at first, and probably happened about ten times or so over a year and a half period. At first, I resisted it as I percieved it as an attact or invasion of some kind. Feeling no ill effects afterward, I figured I should accept and not resist the feeling, so I proceeded like that for the remainder of the visits.

It still comes from time to time, although if I reach out and "pull" the "energy sneeze" toward me and stay in a deeply relaxed state, not a tense and defensive one, it gets much stronger and again, seems to fade in a prickly tingle all throughout my body. (I can't believe I just wrote "energy sneeze" in all seriousness.) Now, if these energy sensations come on, I sometimes barely wake up.

So here's my problem. In the time since, I've become an open "antenna" for people's energy connected to me. Or their feelings, more accurately. I don't know if the preceeding event caused this shift. Perhaps someone else describes the following, which happen constantly to me:

1. No matter where a person is, how far away from you, you can feel if they're angry at you. It's like a headache, instantly on, then off again. Different people seem to strike my head in different regions. For example, when my sister decided to call me from England, I felt a sharp stab on my right front side of my head. Then she called. I had no idea she was going to call, we weren't on great terms at the time. But I knew something was up, and five minutes later it was her on the phone. I also knew she had a bone to chew.
2. I can sense when people are "excited" in my direction. These are like zaps, right through the center of my brain, seeming to go from low to high. They almost have a high-pitched sound, like the frequency of a TV that needs repair. These are like clockwork. Example: Yesterday, I recieved a series of zaps. It's hard for me to tell who's excited by me and why. I checked with my fiancee, who lives with me, and asked her (as she's used to my asking) if she was thinking any particular thing at the moment. She said no. The series continued, light, fun zaps, about twelve or so, spaced over an hour. I guessed that someone must be reading one of my scripts, and enjoying it. I had written a comedy script and sent it to some festivals for competition, perhaps someone was reading it now. the following day, I got an email from a festival indicating that I had indeed won some praise. Anyway, I'm sure that's the reason.
3. I can also tell when someone is conflicted, in a state of indecision (running around in circles in their head). It makes me dizzy, lightheaded, and feel tipsy. Sometimes this is directed at me specifically (as in the case a number of years ago of a young lady I was dating who didn't know if I should stay the night or not - she kept me dizzy for an hour). Sometimes, it's someone I'm connected to, working on a problem. My fiancee triggers it a few times a day when she considers calling someone she doesn't want to talk to, or deal with.

So. What on earth is going on?

First, it's distracting, sort of like a redundant paranormal ability. I can exclaim, "Wait. Someone, somewhere, that I might know, is angry at me right now. But I can't pinpoint who or where or about what." It's sometimes useful, as I can be in the middle of a conversation and sense instantly if the person I'm speaking with is conflicted, angry, or excited. But mostly, it's like a mystery puzzle of "What was that about? What's going on?"

I should mention I was trained in Qi-Gong at an early age (around ten) and didn't pick up energy work until training in theater practices as a master's student. I understand things in terms of Qi. I'm quite in tune with my body and am an extraordinarily sensitive person to textures, sounds, and I recently found out I have 20/10 vision, all reasons why I might now find myself in an artistic field. But these empathy headaches are painful. Depending on who's angry at me (sometimes face to face), I can almost reel back from the intensity of the stab. People seem to have distinct patterns of sending, too, if that's what they're doing. An actor I know is an intense man in real life, and his stabs or zaps are just as intense.
