Perhaps you could always feel the emotions and physical symptoms of others as if they were your own. If this rings true, you may be an “empath.” Only a small percentage of the population experience this type of sensitivity, having the ability to feel and absorb the emotions surrounding them. There are hundreds of books and movies on the subject.
Many of us have experienced praying for someone — their health, forgiveness, whatever the situation — and hearing from them acknowledging they thought of you or felt your prayers. Prayer is extremely powerful because it’s such a focused intention of words, thought and emotion, usually wrapped in gratitude. The person you are praying for often thinks of you or feels an extra touch of love.
