Did anyone catch coverage of the Olympic Parade of Nations last nite?
I experienced something bizarre and thought I might throw it out to this forum to see if anyone had a similar, or has ever had a similar experience.....this might not fit under questions about psychic abilities as I have none, zilch, zero. But it does pertain to acknowledging an unknown sense that triggers emotions within us.
So, as I watched the various countries represented and their display of heritage, I was overcome with a lull of, well, sadness. It was really odd.
I remember it started as Japan took the limelight, and was at it's height during Rwanda's representation of the festivities. I actually got up from the television and went outside for a few moments. My skin was tingling and I just felt really heavy, for lack of a better term. It was a relatively mild evening, and the crickets were in full symphony. That 'tinglin' started to subside. I've always felt very comfortable in the outdoors, so this was somewhat soothing. After a few minutes, I went back indoors and started watching and IT started hapening again. I finally just shut the damned thing off!
To the best of my knowledge, I've had similar expreiences three times before, but only two seemed truly negative. One was outside of a Benedictine Monastery in Normandy almost twenty years ago. The other was while watching the events of 9/11 unfold on tv. One involved media; the other did not.
I'm not sure if it was just media's portrayal of all of the emotions pouring out that affected me so oddly, but since this has happened more than once, I will throw it out to see if others have ever experienced something they just can't place their finger on, but definitely left an impression!
