Something really weird happened to me today! So weird that I don't know where to start! I was at work today and one of my bosses needed help formatting a graph on a PowerPoint deck. I would usually work at my own desk and email him the slides, but the changes were so minor that he had me sit at his computer to finish them while he went out for a walk. The thing about stepping into someone's office is that it's full of their energy. Just think about all that time we spend stressing over deadline, sitting in our chair and staring at the computer screen. What can I tell you? As soon as I sat down my senses went into psychommetry mode and I started picking up information. Awkward! And distracting!!!
Most of my classes the past few weeks have consisted of playing musical chairs with our classmates and telling them what we sensed as soon as we swapped. In essence, we sit in someone's energy field and use the energetic imprint they've left on the chair to tune into their life. If it's someone you don't know to well, you'll get little details about their personality. One time I sat in a classmate's chair and knew it was her daughter's birthday, and that she was planning a party. Another time I saw an older woman going on holiday, she was at the beach and she was very careful not to slip and fall down at the pool. When I asked her about this she told me that falling and breaking something was one of her greatest fears. We've done this exercise at least 4-5 times in class, and there is something to be said for routine.
So back to the boss, the chair and the sudden clairvoyance. As soon as I sat down I started to notice his energy, it took me a split second to concentrate and switch off. The whole experience was very distracted, for a second I was tempted to see what else I noticed but then I thought better of it. Luckily I didn't pick up any private information, and I've managed to forget the vibes already.
It was very distracting though; that had never happened to me in a real life situation. I'm tempted to try it out on someone else lol, but that specific work relationship was a little bit too complicated. Might be better to practice on friends and get their permission. It was pretty amazing though, it's like seeing someone in 3D when you're used to a two dimensional character. They come to life!
