I hadn't realized till today how connected these two parts of me are.
As an empath, I can feel what others feel. I can (sometimes) feel the energy flowing between us. People have feels to me. I can also feel people's emotions. I like getting in tune with others and getting on the same wavelength. When I am in a crowd, I can feel the energy of the mass group. I have even felt the energy of places like when I was in Sedona, Israel, or Burning Man.
Being primal is more than just being an empath though. It is more than just feeling the energy and connecting with the flow of energy. It is acting instinctually. It is sensing things with all of my senses. It is bringing out the animal in me. It is relishing in the senses. It is also responding to my animalistic urges. It is using a different part of my brain than the logical, thinking part.
I also am 100% primal prey because of how much I feel the need to be pursued (and captured). I want to feel owned, possessed, and claimed. This stems from that basic need to mate with my partner. It is what has been driving me.
So, what do I mean about these two parts being connected? Well, I can feel the primal energy of others. I can feel a man desiring me. I love that feeling of a man desiring me. There must be a name for that? Being an empath and being primal are entwined together. By feeling, my body and brain respond in a primal way. It isn't a thinking process. It is on a different level.
Just thinking about this reminds me how we are all animals. I spend so much time in my head, I crave spending more time in my body. I am glad that I am connecting more with these 2 aspects because I see them both as ways to be more in my body.
