Recently I have noticed that when other people are at the lift lobby of my apartment flat, waiting for the lift to arrive, I would walk elsewhere and when there isn’t anyone there anymore, walk back. I don’t feel as much comfortable being around others in an enclosed lift space as compared to months before.
Could this be due to my increased energetic sensitivity, or maybe something else like a change in character?
Does anyone else have the same experience?
Do you feel nervous? Or is it a feeling of wanting your own space and not being interested in engaging with others?
This.
I have this experience too. I don’t question it though, sometimes we want space and sometimes we don’t!
Although when you’re going through an intense energetic change it does push you to be in solitude. Usually temporary.
Another option is your intuition is asking you to wait before leaving for a reason.
There are two type of people in this world. Those who fart in lifts, and those that sniff them.
In your hands is the choice.
I have experienced similar situations before. When a stranger sits next to me on a bus or in a crowded place. You can use the empathic shield mandala. It keeps distance from other people’s energy. Everything wlll be fine
could just be more anxiety. next time you have the option, push yourself to choose the lift and tell yourself you are safe. otherwise, you risk reinforcing the fear
hmmm I didn’t used to feel that way in the past. I don’t think it’s anxiousness. Perhaps I simply prefer not being with others in a small space; preferring solitude as someone else had said.
But I’m perfectly fine with people in an open space.
How do you feel in a lift by yourself? Or when with others if you close your eyes?
Don’t do this when visiting my country, no matter where you are (even in a police station).
Interesting question

Ok an experiment just occurred to me, so ignore if it’s not your thing. Either do it like Neville’s revision where you use an actual memory from an uncomfortable lift scenario and view it instead as you would have preferred it to be, where you feel free and protected.
Or practice a really short scene where you are radiating love and confidence and enter a lift with others, beaming love and feeling fully protected. Or your version of how you would like to have it.
I like this. Now, I have to feel and radiate love…hmmm…how…But I shall…
Good suggestion, thanks.
Find a situation where that happens naturally and spontaneously. A pet perhaps, or anything where you see it and your heart just opens.
