picking up negative energy from an other self - drkdsm - 02-26-2016
I hope this is an appropriate place to start this thread, I wanted opinions about what happened to me so be honest and don't hold back
Yesterday morning I was in my math class and an individual who Ive already had an encounter with a few weeks ago was in fact sitting right next to me and sighing with his breath and using his cell phone in class and talking to other people around him just being rude and disrespectful to the entire class
I tried my best to ignore him but I could actually smell his bad breath
I suddenly felt nausea when he finally was able to get under my skin and it stuck around the rest of the day and I didnt feel any better until I took some stomach medicine.
Does this mean I picked up on his negative energy? I dont believe it was what I ate but I guess it could have been?

Everything you place your attention on is like vibrating a tuning fork. So what you place your attention on is what your tuning fork is coming into resonance with. Things that resonate with your metaphorical tuning fork will be attracted into your experience. So likely what happened was, for whatever reason your attention got fixated on something in your environment that you found unfavorable (i.e.negative), this equals an activation of vibration which attracts more things like that into your experience. So that means other "unwanted" things will begin coalescing into your experience. Nausea would be a very common reaction to finding resonance with unwanted (what you might call "negative energy").
It can be difficult to ignore negative catalyst once it gets your attention. It is similar to getting your hand really cold and then touching a warm part of your body. Which sensation is easier to focus on? The warmth or the cold? The cold naturally. Unpleasant catalyst is sharper and captures attention easier, most of the time.
Best to try to find something you enjoy to distract yourself enough that you return to baseline. Meditation can help.

Yeah, I think people would be surprised at how much physical effect can come from an energy transfer. It may not necessarily be that the individual is negative or the energy was negative, but probably more that their energy was way out of tune with your own so there was a major dissonance created. Some people just naturally exhude energy and it can be hard for someone who picks up on energy unintentionally, which is many people, and can really upset your own system by the dissonance.
Of course, the physical is always in play too, so such a thing could be a combination. In healing the stomach is often associated with the digestion of experience so perhaps since he was so disinterested and not digesting the experience you accidentally took on some of that 'tuning' and gained the same feeling of not wanting or able to digest. This is then reflected physically as the stomach issues which could have even thrown off the way your stomach digests even if it is food you are normally fine with.

This sort of impact is a common experience until one learns to find peace and have kind thoughts/feelings towards all others in all circumstances. What actually occurs is not an energy transfer as such, but simply catalyst. Examine your own emotional reactions as you sat next to this person, and see if you may have chosen to generate the energies of judgment and resentment in response to him (more accurately, in response to your thoughts and interpretations of him).
He did not poison you with his negative energy - but simply offered you a choice between flooding your own being with love, compassion and acceptance on the one hand, and less oneness-based energies on the other.

Well... There is a little energy transfer involved, but it's totally transient and basically harmless as long as a person doesn't let it "get to them."
Kinda like how inhaling some secondhand smoke from a smoker on the street isn't going to give someone lung cancer. But if they then spend the rest of the day complaining about how much they hate smokers, they'll have chosen to allow it to be far more hurtful than it was in actuality.
Either way, I doubt the rude kid was the cause of stomach distress.

I think the stomach issues were caused by the subsequent sacral/orange ray blockage that came from you being repulsed by by the choice of being of the other. Notice how your own words give you away, once you let him "under your skin". Balancing the orange ray chakra is about perceived power between two entities. Unfortunately, your friend was being disrespectful to the classroom, but it was purely your decision to focus on it - in fact what he was doing was passive and relatively non-disruptive - being on his phone, sighing. But you chose to tune into these things, likely because he was expressing emotions that you were currently repressing. It wasn't him exerting anything over you, it was you choosing to submit to his mood. It was likely you may have also felt that the instructor should have "fixed it", and therefore they weren't using their power properly, and you were frustrated with yourself for your perceived lack of power in the situation.
The medicine helped suppress the catalyst but next time your belly aches after an interaction with an unpleasant person, I would tune into your belly and ask what it is trying to offer you as a learning experience.
