Going into deeper levels is our nature. And I believe it could be healing to sense other people’s trauma’s at those levels, when they would ask for it. Things they find too difficult to deal with. So we create awareness for them, in order to help them. But sometimes it looks like that we – as empaths or HSP’s – are literally ‘their ears and eyes’, in real life. So that we could tell them something they might wanna know, but they actually can’t see yet, or wouldn’t be possible to do so. Like when I ended up in a great flat, with an amazing view.

Young Couple

In Madrid I was teaching this young couple. He was a lawyer, she was a medical doctor. And just to create more of a picture of them: he was tall and thin, and she looked like a Spanish Anne Hathaway – but really. It was fun teaching them. And they were living in a neighbourhood I would rarely visit. Nice, but not my area. At some point they told me they were looking for a new apartment. They were renting, and they wanted to buy something. In an upcoming area, that was known for the gay scene and the yuppies. So they almost bought one. They had already payed a down-payment, but the seller found a better buyer; as in: someone who wanted to pay more. They got some financial compensation, but they were clearly disappointed.

Cathedral

Well, here comes the funny thing in. During my Summer I accepted a private class with a girl, who didn’t have much to spend. So I told her I would accept a way lower rate for three weeks, but only for that period of time. Clearly, she was happy about it. She was living in a nice (shared) apartment, on the fifth floor – unfortunately without elevator -, but because of the height you had this amazing view, with the top of some kind of cathedral in sight. Each time that I was there, I thought: there are worse places to teach. It was in one word: marvellous. And apparently she wasn’t the only one who liked the building.

Sounds Familiar

After Summer I resumed my classes with this couple. It was fun as always, and after some months they told me that they had bought an apartment. They were so happy about it. And they would let me know when they were moving. So I continued with my life, had the classes with them on hold – since they were busy moving – and at some point the girl sent me the address of their new place. First I just thought: sounds familiar. Then, when I actually had to go there, I looked it up on Google Maps, and my second thought was: wait, wasn’t that the same street of this Summer student? I have a good memory, but I was teaching at many places, and some months had passed by. Well, by now you might have guessed it. Turned out: it was the same street, even the same number, but instead of the fifth floor the couple moved to the second floor. What are the odds, right? With 3.5 million people in Madrid.

Coincidence

I never understood why this odd thing actually had happened. Some people would say: it’s just coincidence. And till some extent I would totally agree. But this case? Well, I started to doubt when I had a new experience (which I will tell you about next time) that reminded me of this one. It seems – in a crazy way – that once in a while, as an empath, you can be literally ‘the eyes and ears’ of people you are connected to. Like I had to see the area, the street, and the building first, before this couple would get to know about it, and would be interested in buying their apartment. Well, it must be my ‘wild imagination’, but I totally get it why they wanted to move to this place: I had actually seen the beauty of it before. Or was it more the beauty of the Universe’s playfulness?
