I felt your pain

I had such an eye opening experience this last week.  I was having a rough time sleeping.  I woke up at least 6 times every night for the last 2 weeks, in panic and fear.  The crazy thing was, I could not pin point what it was that I was fearful of or panicked about.  After a week of that I started having this overwhelming feeling of missing family.  Now, I have lived away from home for 13 years.  I love my family, but I didn't miss my family.  I speak with them quite often.
 I spent the thanksgiving holiday with my good friends family in Delta.  The most wonderful place on the earth.  But that is beside the point.  My friends mother and sisters are incredible with muscle testing, body talk and energy work.  They did a little bit of work on me, finding that the feelings and emotions that I had been feeling were not mine.  2 weeks prior to having muscle testing done, I preformed acupressure on a friend,  who was recently disowned by her family, single mother and had many fears due to her situation.  The feelings I had been feeling, were her feelings that I took on through acupressure. I took on her negative energy.  I called to let her know that I had felt her pain. Really, I did.  :)  Kind of neat to actually take it on, but not necessary.
Something that my friends sister explained to me, was that there isn't any reason that I need to carry other peoples burdens.  The Savior has already done that for us.  I am so grateful for the opportunity to be involved in such amazing work that daily strengthens my testimony, and gives me tender mercies that help me recognize the power of God, something greater than man.

We are not earthly beings having spiritual experiences.  We are spiritual beings having earthly experiences.
