I feel like people who do it are using a higher spiritual plane , using energy and coughing to focus that energy made of focus and people's energetic emotional states- to have an energy fight with us. You know that emotional push and pull drain on our emotional state we experience? That's the focus of energy.
It's an energy fight ... The aim is to feel better about themselves and use energy slams and knocks upon you, as you begin to feel more emotional, nervous, changing your emotional or nervous state - just like a real fight the aim is as deadly as wanting you to hate yourself or do worse. But you've experienced this feeling.
The type of person who does this is not sure of themselves , is insecure and nervous and wanting to be dominant (dominance behavior is weakness in energy terms, as opposed to being calm, happy go lucky and strong. Dominance behavior is different to a dominant STATE.) Some people are so down on themselves, they'd try to 'energy fight' with anyone
It's on a different higher plane and they're trying to energetically interact with your emotional energy state.
Of course the aim of any fight is not to be dominant or aggressive or nervous
But to be deadly calm, confident and 'peaceful' (peaceful meaning, riding the waves, living in the moment, non chalant and quiet - NOT asking them to like you energetically or saying sorry to them as this is weak and will make them more aggressive)
I advise anyone with this to LEARN YOUR ENERGY and control that of other people..
dominant energy, assertive energy, aware energy, states of calm... use energy KNOWLEDGE to essentially quiet, move the person trying to energy fight with you to STOP what they're doing
Essentially it s like becoming a 'people whisperer' and embracing human godhood and a state of inner rock..
The dog whisperer whispers the state he wants a dog to be in using his energy and the dogs emotional staye.. he uses a calm, assertive energy. And of course, with this he can silence any dog.
Same with a horse whisperer, we can use this same energy around us as animals have, to our benefit.. making moves and using our emotional state to control and move energy around us.
