We’ve been tracking this phenomenon for more than year. Back in January 2010, shortly before the horrible earthquake in Haiti, we received emails from people who didn’t know each other, but were all experiencing the same symptoms. We’ve enumerated those symptoms here, here, here, and here. We’ve probably missed a couple of entries, but you can search the blog on your own and bring them up.
We realized the symptoms these individuals experienced – people who didn’t know each other – were astonishingly similar and appeared to be occurring days to weeks or several months before a natural or man-made disaster. We began to think of these individuals as planetary empaths, individuals so finely attuned to the fluctuations within the planet that their experienced physical and emotional symptoms before a disaster. In many instances, these individuals also had precognitive dreams that were quite specific about the particular disaster.
Since our last post on these empaths, more individuals have come forward to describe their own experiences. We’ve brought some of these comments forward in this post. The changes we’ve made in the comments have been grammatical and to shorten here and there.
1) About 2 months ago I started to have very vivid ‘end of world’, I called them, dreams. I did not write any of them down but I remember having about 4 – 5 of them. One I do remember was so strange to me because of the location. I was in a rural area, somehow in a loose wood type structure, it makes me think of a fruit stand. And water started to come in fast.. On Monday the week of the Tsunami I felt very very sad for no apparent reason. I cried all day. It was odd for me, at that time of the month, to fee so emotional. I have not been the same since the tsunami. I am very sad, angry and overemotional and I cannot seem to control it. I remember having similar feelings before Haiti which has led me to start searching and trying to find out what is going on with me. How do I control this? It’s a horrible feeling.
2) I’ve been having such symptoms about 3 months now- it started with a sorta vertigo like trying to walk on a boat that’s on really rocky water and then progressed and got worse and progressed and changed and well it’s been scary. I don’t use the “P” word –psychic, I mean- cause I think it implies a degree of control or understanding that just doesn’t apply to me. So I just use hyper-sensitive to describe myself and people like me. Beyond Intuitive but more close to burdened than gifted with being different. I like in upstate NY way near Canada- high elevation and not near any major fault lines. It scares me but I worry about my parents in Florida- being Florida is flat- I pray everything gets better. But the “poltergiest” phenomena as it was called-are increasing. Nice to know I’m not the only one feeling this stuff.
3. I’ve been watching a few videos, predictions of events unfolding. (One was posted on March 4, another March 8 predicting a quake. If you want I can provide links) Then I googled & came up with this page.
I’ve had some weird symptoms in the past few days.. My ears have had a persistent “airplane ears” and they feel constantly blocked in a weird sense. I also have ringing in my ears. Now, as I play drums, I pretty much signed up for tinnitus. But this ringing is…. different. It’s much higher frequency and sometimes it feels like it isn’t there, then other times it is. I’ve also felt quite on edge, and don’t have the focus I did a few days ago (it’s not very good on an average day anyway, lol) Even more, I’ve been absolutely shattered. My average sleep pattern for the last 3 years at least was about 3am-2pm, but over the past few days, I’ve been crashing at 9pm. It’s 1.30 AM and I’m struggling to keep my eyes open. Weird indeed.
Basically I’ve been just… off-kilter. Maybe I’m overreacting, maybe I’m just looking for any form of diagnosis. Time will tell. I have a feeling we are not out of the woods.
4. I am so glad that I stumbled upon this website. I too had several dreams of escaping water and fearing drowning in February. I woke up in one dream yelling “help me, help me” as I was stuck and could not move near a large body of water and the water was rising fast up to my chin. The other dreams were similar. I have never had dreams regarding a fear of drowning before. Normally if I am feeling stress in life I dream about airplanes and flying or tornadoes. This is a first for me.
I too have not felt right for nearly 2 weeks. I have not been able to pinpoint why I feel so unsettled. I feel nauseated and a horrible pain in my chest. Feel on pins and needles and I have nothing stressful in my life now to account for these feelings. Also anxiety, sadness and anger. I know that I am an empath and just made the connection that this could all be related to the Japanese tsunami. I am so relieved to find that others are feeling this way. Prior I was wondering if I was repressing something or feeling that something bad was going to happen. Now, I have a reason for feeling this way as normally I am even keeled and emotionally stable. I went from feeling that all is well with the world to a feeling of Fear. I do not like feeling this way. I believe in Law of Attraction and so I keep myself positive most of the time. It has been impossible to feel this way for nearly 2 weeks now. All we can do is pray and keep fear at bay. Best wishes to you all.
5. Today, March 18, we’ve heard from two of the empaths. Debra is experiencing skin rashes, nausea, nightmares of having to go underground, ear popping, dizzeness, fatigue, insomnia, heart arrhythmia and tachycardia. Math addict reports extreme vertigo, nausea, and torn up emotionally for no apparent reason.

There are many more of these kinds of comments, enough to indicate an emerging pattern of some sort. Or perhaps this pattern has always been there, but now the technology exists to communicate this information quickly. All of these empaths are intuitive, a domain in which women usually excel, but these empaths aren’t just women. Some of them are outright psychic, others are uncomfortable with that term and think of themselves as something else. But the bottom in is the same: they are our barometers for natural and man-made disasters. If they say something is coming, then it probably is.
Gypsy dreamed of a tsunami in Asia months before Japan’s disaster. On that same night, Jen also dreamed of a tsunami. These two women are connected only through blogging. They’ve never met. Yet, their dreams are remarkably similar in context, texture, tone. On any given day, we receive emails from various individuals, in different parts of the world, about their symptoms. Sometimes these symptoms coincide with the changing in colors of the Global Consciousness Dot. But quite often, the dot remains a steady green (normal), while the empaths are in bed, in pain, hoping their symptoms will pass.
The disparity may come down to machine (random number generators) versus human. In the end, I’ll place my bets with the humans. This phenomenon is certainly more comment than we initially thought. But maybe it’s also something that helps us through the paradigm shift that seems endemic to 2012.
The question is this: are the PEs a kind of oracle at Delphi, something emerging in the collective psyche of the 21st century? If so, can they learn to narrow their symptoms to a place, time, specifics? Are they the heralds of the emerging paradigm?
I beleive that personal narratives (the stories that we believe in) are reflected in dreams, and that in turn large scale events can affext dreams. So the two often go together in dreams. I dreamed my wife died in an earthquake about three weeks before the Japanese earthquake, and had another earthquake dream just a week before. Symbolically earthquakes represent destabilisation, uncertainty, loss of control and rapid change, often involving dramatic shifts. Tsunamis typically represent a mass of unresolved emotional energy.
In the case of my wife dying in an earthquake I belive that the earthquakes in NZ (past) and Japan (upcoming) influenced my psyche, and reflected to me my own grief at my wife’s taking up a job in another city (Beijing), which in a sense is like losing her. In the dream she was in an office when the earthquake hits – she has taken up an office job.
Powerful dreams, Marcus. Love your interpretation, too. Powerful.
That’s got to be hard, your wife working in china, and you in Hong Kong!
ditto trish’s remark!
Heralds? I believe ~ yes.
I am also starting to believe that Empathy symptoms while often horrific, will morph into something worth celebrating. In the early days, I suffered terribly with my sensitivities. The physical allergies, the uncontrolled psychic input, the emotional turmoil of picking up EVERYTHING around me, whether it was mine or not. Through trial and error, I am learning to tune in when I need to, learning to detach a bit when it gets too much, and generally manage the gift in a more productive way. That is not to say that I don’t curl up in pain some days…..I do, but it is getting less frequent. I can’t help but feel a genuine ‘excitement and anticipation’ for what is to come, even though I am not quite sure what form that will take. I only have mild planetary empathy, but I have full on emotional empathy. Going out in public is harrowing for me, even though I really love people. I have noticed recently that there is a certain ‘meshing’ with others, be that in the physical or cyber, where it feels to me like a strengthening of a golden net of like minded others and lightworkers. A wave of energy is building and it is only in it’s infancy. There will be a day when all this pain for empaths and intuitives and psychics and mediums and healers will all make sense.
We will all operate differently. Like a Beetle fined tuned to a BMW.
I too pick up on loved ones pains. My daughters and I will often ask “is this my headache or yours that I am feeling?”
I also hate being in crowds.
It seems lately that my symptoms are stronger and I cannot ” shield” myself as well.
Trish and Rob I would love it if we could warn people before these natural disasters, I do warn people close to me on a local level and they do listen to me.
you’re right, cj, about my own symptoms of sunday/yesterday – here is an excerpt of my comment yesterday to the post here:
“before coming here, i’d no idea there had been any event at all today – have been having a little family get together all day – however, this morning, about 9:00am central time, i began having what felt like vertigo – severe – plus both ears were pulsating wildly – by noon, i had begun asking everyone what was wrong – didn’t they feel “it” – whatever “it” was – to me it felt like the entire house moving back and forth – as if on a ship – in any event, it had lessened by late afternoon”
all my life dreams have been the avenue to the “knowing” for me, more than any other way – the last few years, i’ve become more focused on these other “signs” of physiological impact which, for a long time, i had not connected with as i had with my dreams – and i also think that we do each possess such abilities which must first be acknowledged and then nourished to expand –
and like you, cj, there have been many times, especially regarding my only sister, during the last few years, that my own body has “assumed” some of her physical illness symptoms, particularly when we were visiting by phone several times a day during the times of her severe episodes – enough so that i had to reduce the number of times/days that we spoke – it was too physically uncomfortable for me –
the same thing with watching the news of mass chaos/disaster – or a movie – because then the dreams will begin again – and the physical symptoms – and it becomes just too overwhelming –
so glad of lauren’s having mentioned the gaia theory –
great post, macgregors – thank you!
Now if you empaths could somehow predict the location from your symptoms: that’s what rob and I were talking about today. But I have a feeling this ability is evolving.
how great that would be, trish – for me, coming closest to location is with my dreams – i’ve been able to identify a specific swampy area, for example, where i saw a plane crash, and for several years during a certain period of time, in my dreams, i also saw nearly all the locations within the city [car wrecks, fires, other accidents, for example – i could see the intersection or street and even drive straight to the location] – but with the planetary issues, location is more difficult – for some reason – anyway, dreaming is always more specific for me -but i’m working on focusing more on planetary issues by keeping a record of symptom, event and location – maybe that will help –
Your dreams are imoressive! You do seem to pick up on very specific stuff.
I agree with Mike, I think these are probably “abilities” that we all possess, or can possess, but most people don’t notice that they have them. There is so much external stimuli going on in our world, we are bombarded with it constantly- it is hard to know sometimes if what you are feeling is internal or external. I know that I personally went bolting through life without paying much attention to what was going on in my body until one I got very sick and suddenly had to. I am now very in tune with my body and my sensitivities and I think that has helped me to realize some of my more “psychic” tendencies…
Right on the money, Jen.xx
Nancy, one of the reasons I ultimately retired from hands-on nursing, (with Hospice when I retired, altho also did ER trauma and med research), was because I literally “absorbed” whatever was going on with my patients. It was worsened by a very strange capability I have to somehow absorb the effects of medications without taking them. (I don’t drink alcohol at all, and can absorb alcohol effects just by touching someone who has been drinking, even if I don’t know they’ve been drinking. Hubby calls me a “cheap drunk”!) In my nursing years, whenever I would draw serum from a vial into a syringe, I would actually absorb into myself, momentarily, the effects of the med. It would pass thru me and flow out the bottom of my feet. Very, very uncomfortable. At my Mother’s hospital bedside during her end-terminal hours, several medical personnel, (and my sister, also an RN), commented that whenever I touched my Mom, my face reflected hers as if I were a mirror. In my younger years I was able to “block” the empathies and put an invisible screen between myself and others so that I wouldn’t feel their feelings, but as I have aged, I’m no longer able to block it. Being in large crowds can be misery for me due to this. I’ll pick up a headache here, a backache there, chest pain somewhere else. As I’ve mentioned here on the blog in the past, when I do readings for folks, the discarnates will often identify themselves to me by “giving” me, briefly, the physical feelings they experienced as the cause of their deaths. Fortunately those pass down quickly thru me, too, and are evidential. I also pick up emotional disturbances of folks, and for me, these are more difficult to block than the physical stuff. Be that as it may, ultimately I retired from nursing due to the uncontrollable empathies. It would reach a point where I couldn’t tell what was mine and what was someone else’s. There IS an upside to this. On occasion I will feel a pending ailment in another person before they themselves feel it, and am able to direct them towards a doctor. Those are excellent times for me! In my next life, though, I hope to be sympathetic but not empathetic!! 🙂
Great post. I also agreed with many of the comments – especially Mike’s. I think we all may experience symptoms, but just make excuses for them. For myself, I noticed about 15 years ago that I would become very sad when things were going on in the world that were horrid for other people. Since I believe we are all interconnected, this makes sense. Of course we would feel sadness when people are being slaughtered, or dying in mass numbers. As for the other symptoms, I have no doubt we have planetary empaths, those that are very sensitive to the earth – which is a living, breathing, entity. For myself, I am tuned into humans – it is my life’s work, so I am tuned into their suffering. I would bet there are others that are specially tuned into animals, off-planet life forms, and/or the energy from inanimate objects – that are made of the same vibrating energy sources as are we. It may just be a matter of tuning into individual gifts.
11:17am EDT on Monday 3-28-2011. The Dot is raging bright RED at the moment! Guess I’ll break down and go turn on the TV. Am trying to stay away from the news as much as possible. Not being an ostrich with my head in the sand. Just don’t want to feed the empathies.
This is a great subject. I think we all sense or feel certain things but most of us don’t give this a second thought, which is a pity as these could be important. I remember as a kid I would sit opposite someone on a bus and feel their sorrow or happiness, but I grew out of this for many years. I can’t say I’ve had senses or precognition relating to worldwide disasters, but perhaps I, along with others, have just ignored them.
I did have a vivid dream last night. An old man handed me a book with an orange cover called The Bible Code. He told me to read it as it could be important. Guess I’ll have to do what I’m told this time.
Interesting you mention the Bible Code! We were talking to a friend about that book saturday night. He’s an expert on religious studies and says it probably does hold codes, but that jut about any book can do so. Let us know what you discover!
These observations are very important – thank you for sharing them. I think as our paradigm changes, sensitivity will increase. To me they demonstrate the underlying truth of interconnectedness, our consciousness embedded in the planetary consciousness. James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis, with The Gaia Theory, postulated that the Earth is one living, interdependent, self-regulating organism.
Dowsers can locate water, and ancient sacred places were built on areas of geomagnetic intensity, which they utilized to alter consciousness. The Oracle of Delphi was supposed to go into trance while suspended over fissures in the earth, connecting thus with earth energies of some kind – they were also called “the pythoness”, because the snake was so universally related to earth energies, and the earth mother. Perhaps the sensitivity of these people will someday be understood as a gift.
Great observations, Lauren.
I like the title to your blog.
I also feel energies in natural settings, I LOVE tree energy.
I’m a bit down today and am tired of my PE symptoms, feelings whatever.
Really, not fun.
this was math addict’s comment.
Vicki, today is Monday, 3-28-2011. California is experiencing the worst mudslides and flooding in its history of those events, so your sensitivities are not surprising. I should have every reason in the world to be feeling upbeat and happy, but on the contrary, all I am wanting to do is simply wander around the house and sob, and I truly don’t know why. Hubby and I always go out and about together on Sundays. It’s our “play-day” to just hang out and browse in flea markets and junk stores and do whatever we enjoy. Yesterday I wasn’t able to do ANYTHING, altho I pulled myself together sufficiently to go out to dinner in a town south of our town. On the way home the radio news in our SUV reported the new quake in Japan and the potential for another tsunami, which of course didn’t happen. This past week has been simply “lost days” for me. I’ve accomplished zero. Am ashamed that I’ve not even tackled the laundry or cooked a single meal. Normally depression isn’t my gig, and this feels “different” from depression. It’s sadness that had no discernible root cause, added to physical symptoms of ear-aches, ear noises, dizziness, an intense need for sleep but inability to sleep, and when I sleep, am having nightmares. We must drive across many bridges here to get anywhere, and these last several weeks every time we approach one of the bridges I experience absolute terror, having unsought visions in my mind of the bridge “collapsing” and cars falling into the ocean or intracoastal waterway. My dreams are filled with hordes of people stumbling around apparently helpless, seeming to be blind, not knowing where they are going, and there is no sun. This “no sun” is something new for me. The sun has disappeared, in my dreams, and has been replaced by smoke and foggy air. I’ve not yet connected with Gypsy but am certain she is having identical sensations. She and I are family, and continue to be astonished at our parallels even though we live many many miles apart. I would love to come on the blog and bring great tidings. But I am knowing, KNOWING, something massive and unprecedented is brewing and has been brewing now for a little while. Yesterday morning Japan geophysicists reported radiation from one of the reactors was several millions times the safe level, then retracted the report altho they stated the actual number was 100,000 times acceptable, which is still unthinkable I sense their initial statement was correct. It is several million x normal and above safe levels. Much much worse then Chernobyl, and they are attempting to hide it to prevent utter panic all over the entire planet because such levels of radiation cannot be contained to a locale. This empathy we have could be a gift if we were able to prevent these incidents, or at least in some cases help folks prepare. As it is…….
it’s been proven to the boy that they can make anything happen,, ither that or they have the ability to go back and forth in time in which case they should be able to prevenn anything from happening,, but ither way what is the answer to potential devistation????
