You are right, and I am very glad you posted about it because I am happy to know that I am not the only one who is ‘sensitive’ to these kinds of things. Many people I know do not react energetically or emotionally to violence in films, whereas I do!

Sandy, My own inner conflict around the topic is similar. Its important for those who have experienced trauma to have a place to tell their story, be supported and feel understood. Yet I hope that we can learn to do that without proliferating the abuse energy and fear in the world.

l0ve0utl0ud thanks for sharing that my post hit home for you. I was somewhat hesitant to post this because the film was so popular but I felt I needed to make a statement from my heart about the ripple effect of this type of energy becoming so common and contributing to the violence in our minds and society.

Natalie, thank you for speaking out so clearly about the damage that viewing and listening to violence can cause to us emotionally and spiritually. When we become jaded by that kind of stimuli, we become less sensitive to the pain of others and to the voice of our own spirit and emotions. I’m afraid this is what is happening to whole generations of people who are hooked on all kinds of media and games that depict violence. Cultivating empathy and sensitivity is challenging in the world we live in, but it’s critical if we are to truly care about and serve the best interests of others -as well as take care of the needs of our own soul. I guess the best that can be said about seeing a violent scene in a movie is that it brings home how horrible and long lasting the experience is to those who are abused.

I am very glad to have read your post – because I experienced exactly the same thing as you after watching the film. The sexual abuse scene stuck in my mind and in my gut very strongly – it’s been over a month since I’d seen the film yet memories of it still re-surge now and again, causing a tightness in my stomach and throat. Just like you said – I feel like it is draining energy out of me or feeding negative energy. For this reason, I always usually choose comedy films as they give me positive energy.

[...] When we feel another’s energy and respond to it, we are to varying degrees matching their vibration. I call this mirroring. Empathic intuition is one form of this. We sense the emotional energy and match it from the second chakra. [...]
