There is the empath connection, and herd poisoning, and distant intent. Dr. Stephen Porges calls it neuroception. Some people think it is a guardian angel, and it can just be another extension of telepathy.

I can think of one perfect example. I’m not a paranoid or fearful person, and one day I was suddenly very paranoid and I was peeking from behind curtains, thinking my own intuition was trying to tell me that I was in danger. After there was no danger, I meditated on it, and my niece appeared in my mind’s eye. I popped back out of meditation and texted her “Wassup?” and she responded that she was hiding behind the Disney display at the mall where she works because there was an active shooter. Relative, active emotional connection, family, etc.
I believe that there are a lot of our daily moods, emotions, and thoughts that are likely not our own. The energetic clarity of what is happening is often missing and people don’t know how to separate what is self, and what is not.

Glad to supply my form of meditation if it interests you. Hypnagogic meditation, or awareness in the fulcrum.
