What is going on with me?

I feel people's energies acutely , sometimes to the point of just being overwhelmed . So there's that. I have always felt that I needed to be with a person whose energy was really light and airy or I would feel weighted down by them. Other people's emotional baggage feels really heavy to me.
I have some of my own emotional baggage to deal with too of course so I do and I feel pretty light these days in general.
I was talking to an energy worker and she was saying that in her experience Tibetian monks has a kind of lightness that must come from meditation. I really want to learn about different energy styles and how to relate to different people with different styles well. I almost can't stand lots of repressed anger and denseness around me . I work with people who have I'd say denser energies but that's work and somehow that's ok. Whereas someone in my home space or heart space would need to be fairly clear ( I don't know if I have the words to explain this stuff, if you get it please explain it to me).
I am very attracted to energy work as a therapist. I want to get to the core of someone's energy field and work from there.

Does anyone else feel that with other people, that if they are with someone who is really dense it feels heavy. Are there just fewer really clear people? I associate clearness with positivity and some faith in humanity ( like Barrack) I associate heaviness with emotional baggage unprocessed and unresolved anger. I remember something by Ester-hicks I think about how energies can't come into our lives unless we allow it. I recently had two teachers whose energies were really disturbing to my system so I know that stuff is still there in me, but also I notice it as the kind of heaviness I used to have all the time and don't have but occasionally anymore and I could displace it from my energy quicker than before.
What do you think? Vibrationally, people with the highest of vibrations, are they able to live and work well with all energies? Do they prefer certainly similar energies?
What do you make of me wanting to be around really clear people and feeling yucky being around the underneath anger other denseness?
What do you make of any of this?

    This may or may not apply to what you are describing:

    When I started feeling most all of the things you describe, i sought good therapy. I lived in Santa Cruz at the time, and had never felt that way, so I was able to check in with a lot of friends and find an excellent mature woman who was a Transpersonal-oriented therapist who was just right for me. i was in my late 50s and had always rejected the concept of "burn out" and snidely used to say "you have to be nuts to see a shrink"! So after three good years with Deane I "oozed out" after 35 years of teaching, all of which had been good, but wouldn't have been in the future...

      I have an excellent therapist. He has been so influential in my growth for the last year and a half. He isn't transpersonal oriented though. That is the next step. When I move or am done with school I will look around for therapist that have a transpersonal bent for sure.
      Santa Cruz is not coincidentally the place where the Energy work school ( luminous body ) I want to go to is.
      So I'm working those angles. I think I need a transpersonal therapist and a good energy worker. ( which is ideally what I will end up becoming) .
      What became of your therapy ( and life) after you started feeling the things I describe Will?

        Well, those three years were also the last of my 35 years of teaching. I retired and have been so for 15 years now. In my first couple years of retirement I continued to do other types of self-exploration and spiritual travel, to Central and South America, and eventually to Nepal. Four years ago I moved from Santa Cruz to the small town of Sonoma to be close to members of my family. I saw and continue to see that experience for me to be a kind of death and rebirth into this next phase of my life.

          Well part of it is training your mind to focus on things that are positive. And you've said that you have dealt with things in the past, so perhaps those demons are still looking for something to grab a hold of. That's also probably the reason why you can release them easier because you have made an effort previously to release these types of energies. It also could be the reason why you're focusing on them, I believe it's based in fear, your demons are terrified.. unresolved wounds. And you fear being overwhelmed therefore you allow yourself to become overwhelmed out of denying or trying to control that fear. Instead of just letting it go and seeing what happens while giving it a good fight.

          To me, it's a test of your courage, you can either stand up to the challenge and face the fear of being____ what?? Human? We all are bothered by things that people do, especially the people whose demons are slightly larger and more active than yours, but what's the worse that can happen?? That's up to you. You can get the best of the situation if you try, or it wil get the best of you if you don't. But remember in trying you have to be honest with yourself every step of the way, admit the fears, admitting the defeats, this is the only way to be aware of how to make yourself even stronger.

          How I go about this, is pacing myself, sometimes I'll stand up to the challenge of dealing with difficult people, and other times, if I sense that it won't go anywhere like I'm walking into a snowstorm with just my bikini on (unprotected, and unprepared, too big of a fight, not worth it) I'll go the other way, whatever makes sense. Take care of yourself, use these situations to grow and work those demons of yours until they have no reason to stick around, before you know it You'll be all clear, and when you are you won't even be able to be bothered by anyone else's negative energy. It'll be so easy, it'll be non-existent.

          If you say you don't want to be around Anyone who's energy is like this or who's energy is like that, then you're limiting your own growth on being able to deal with these types of things.

          That's my two, but if you want to talk about specifics I'm really passionate about this and I'd love to talk one on one. PM me!
