a 12 year old explains how to disconnect
"Mom," my son says casually at dinner, "You're still connected to your ex-boyfriend. You really need to disconnect. Can you tell when what you are feeling is your feeling or his?"Wow. He's right. I'd start getting such a heavy, overwhelmed feeling all of a sudden when I'd been feeling fine...and sure enough the phone would ring in a couple minutes and it would be him. I was still tangled up in our connection to each other and experiencing his feelings as my own. Oops. I thought I knew better than that. Takes a 12 year old to point it out.
I practice this with clients, but I have more to learn. I wonder how I'll do it. This is an opportunity and I'm curious.
When putting my son to bed that night, he tells me he has an idea for me. (I perk up, because I can sense that this is one of those moments when he is "in the zone.") "Mom, I think that when you are sensing the emotion, you can check and see- if it is on the right side of the body it is yours and if it is on the left side of the body it is his. I think that will work for you."
In appreciation, I respond, "Wow. Interestingly, the left side of the body does represent the receiving side. I bet I can do that! Thanks, love."
Then we talk about soccer practice. But I'm all grins and giggles.

This happens to me all the time- I pick up on others emotions but feel them for quite a while before it occurs to me that they are not my feelings but someone elses. Did the left/right test work for you?
Many people who are intuitive experience what you describe.
The left/right does work for me, actually. I'm still testing to see if there are consistent results though, so I'm not teaching this yet as something that works. (though if my son said it, it probably does work)
Lemme know if it works for you!
Something else you can do is just ask in whatever way you get your intuitions, "Is this my energy?"
I also regularly practice clearing my energy field, so that also makes it easier to tell the difference. Once you are more in the habit of noticing your emotions/thoughts/intuitions and being in your own energy, you will notice more and more what is yours and what is someone else's.
