In the years I've been on this site, this comes up quite frequently. So much so that unless there's something more distinct about this specific instance, I can't believe that it's a new or unique sensation you're describing, but rather one of the following:
- An ongoing phenomenon of some sort that different people begin to become aware of or "sense" at different points, either in time, or in their own development
- Something which is triggered by different things in different people
- A psychological phenomenon or symptom
- A completely unique-to-individual form of gnosis or "awakening"
- Some combination of the above
Over the years - and I'm sure since long before I joined ATS - I've seen topics such as, "Have You Felt It?" "The Waiting Game," "Can You Feel It In The Air?" "Have You Experienced The Awakening Yet?" Etc. repeatedly.
The answer to your question, depending upon who you ask, is most certainly "Yes." But what exactly it is, or means (if anything,) is another question. And the answer to that may be (probably is?) different from person to person. In my case at least, at different points it has involved depression, and for others it has been a manifestation of other forms of mental illness.
Which is not to say that's what it is - merely that that's one possibility to consider. (I've also experienced "it" when I was perfectly lucid, happy, and even headed, so I do not feel it's always that by any means.) In short, I don't know what it is in every case, only in some cases, and even then only for myself.
Peace.

It does not bother me that this happens, rather I am happy to be of service to those in need, but it drains me physically, emotionally and spiritually, to the point where I will need to isolate for days to get my energy replenished.
Sounds like your extremely empathetic and introverted! At least to me. I've had similar sensations and experiences in the past as well with regards to having to isolate myself from being around people for extended periods of time. It was like as you said you can feel the suffering and overwhelming stress that other people deal with on a daily basis..I just feel so exhausted emotionally, even if I'm out partying with friends there are times where I have to leave the room for a few minutes because of how draining it is sometimes...
I wouldn't really call it a soul or get into the metaphysics of it. I would say there's a connection with people, that those who experience this that transcends beyond what we can perceive and measure empirically. Do you ever absorb or take on the emotions of others randomly? Very inline with empathy? Or am I misinterpreting your entire OP...

Have you been feeling it too? “Feeling what“, you ask? There is something very strange going on and it is becoming more and more prevalent.
For many years I have had this strange sensation, but it has become more frequent and stronger of the past few weeks.
It is not easy to describe, but I will try.
It is not anxiety. It is not nerves.
Vibratory. Frequency. Energy. Magnetic. Resonance . Harmonic.
All of these words can be used to describe what I have been going through on a deeply personal level.
But it is more than that.
There is a connection to a collective source that I feel.
I have been more capable of discerning different energy.
I can see colors. Emanating from others. I can feel their energy. I can feel their vibratory frequency.
Auras. I can sense the overwhelming trepidation that other souls are dealing with.
Empathic to a major degree. I feel drained after being near certain souls. It is as if they are siphoning my positive energy in order to replenish themselves.
It does not bother me that this happens, rather I am happy to be of service to those in need, but it drains me physically, emotionally and spiritually, to the point where I will need to isolate for days to get my energy replenished.
Different parts of my body experience these sensations where I can actually feel the energy changing drastically. There will be a humming in my inner ear, there will a vibration in my extremities, this will happen for hours at a time, days at a time, and then stop.
It has been happening with more frequency lately and has become even stronger.
I think this is the empathic response to a collective draining of the source.
By this I mean, collectively the energy of the souls attached to the source are causing this increase and depletion at a more frequent interval.
I wonder how many of you here on ATS have experienced what it is I am talking about.
I will respond to serious minded souls and I will ignore the trolls.
