Guest guest Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Yikes - I'll skip lots of preamble and get to the action bit straight away... As the enraged inebriate stomped out past the ranks of tables, somewhere in the sea of silenced faces he sensed grinning. " Who's smiling at me? I saw someone smile! " he roared, randomly jumping on the colleague we were quietly seeing off and shoving him to the floor. Pretty soon there was a human knot of about a dozen combatants on the floor, arms and legs everywhere. I was torn over whether to attack, defend or passify, but pretty soon could do none of the above as my spine was cramping so badly. What could that be all about? Oddly, despite his actions, I found myself feeling just as much compassion for the attacker as my friend, as if it was the situation that was wrong, not the participants themselves. Some of my team were inspirationally protective, a privilege to know. I don't feel so good about myself, as I'm sure it was me smiling out beatifically to the world in general instead of concentrating, unwittingly drawing him in. Luckily, no serious injuries were accrued during the making of this cautionary tale... Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 I know this isn't funny, what happened, but I love your story! I can just see you sitting there, smiling into space, and then BAM! Your world changed in an instant. Glad no one was seriously hurt!

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Hi Tom, some time ago, I was involved in verbal violence. I said in a posting at that time: " The reaction was a rush of heat to my cheeks, forehead bunched into steel knots and the vibes in my spine became very strong with a line of energy rotating around my scalp. After a troubled sleep, I tried to do the Tibetans and when I did the spins, instead of getting the usual feeling of tingling in my fingertips, my arms fell to my sides like a pair of broken wings. Moving into Rite 2 (legs and chest raised), every muscle and bone in my spine and ribcage spasmed as I reverted to prone position. " Guess I was surfing against the energies free-flowing in the protections offered by the Safeties. John R. Tom wrote: " Yikes - I'll skip lots of preamble and get to the action bit straight away...

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Hello Chrism, Well, they weren't long lived, just a minute or so. There was adrenalin buzzing through me and I felt three separate tight pinchings maybe 10, 20 and 60% up my back, making it feel bunched into a series of bulging curves. I felt warmer too, and could sense redness throughout my spine. Everything was soon fine again though. The only novel sensation I've felt since was a small yellow flowering at the upper pinch point whilst writing the post, which was altogether more pleasant luckily.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Hi Jen, Yes indeed! I can't decide if I'm empathic or not - I often get a tremendously clear idea of how a person might be feeling, but have generally assumed it's either equally obvious to everyone or just imagination so far. Yesterday was a bit different to that though - not much impression but lots of curiosity, just looking non- judgementally and wanting to know why, wanting to understand why these particular events had been written into all our scripts that day.
