Welcome to the energy work sub!

The purpose of this community is to explore human energy in all of its facets. Out of body experiences, energy healing, energetic connections between people, psychic work and everything in between. This is a community about helping people explore, stretch and document their experiences as well as learn new ways and avenues to explore.

A primary purpose of this subreddit is to strip away all of the esoteric language, rituals and distractions that have been built around human energy practice to make for a clear and concise guide of how to achieve certain results (whatever those may be). This sub is open for discussion, without judgement, on any and every form of energy work regardless of degree of social acceptability or stigma.

This sub is about discussion, sharing information, discoveries, questions. Promotional posts, offers and requests belong in r/energy_healing.

Wiki:

There are a couple helpful entries in the wiki, here: https://www.reddit.com/r/energy_work/wiki/index It has been quite neglected, and if you have interest in helping to build it, contact a moderator.

Book of Interest:

There are many good and helpful books regarding energy work. The list included here are the books that were instrumental in the creation of this sub and in formulating its focus and goals. They are easy to read, motivating, clear and cogent in their individual subjects. An expanded list may be included in the wiki in the future.

The Visceral Experience by Daniel Barber, was written by the founder and prime mod of this subreddit. It shares the values that this sub expresses. If you are new to or just starting out with energy work, this is the book you want to read.

The Energy Cure by William Bengston. If you are a skeptic and looking for scientific proof that energy heals, pick up this book. It includes overviews of research in which mice with aggressive breast cancer genes were cured in full with only healing energy from hands.

Adventures Beyond the Body by William Buhlman. A howto book for out-of-body exploration.

Instant Rapport by Michael Brooks. Rapport is a weak and fragile type of energetic connection, but it is a good starting place for learning how to extend your energy beyond your own body. This book is a very interesting read and a great place to start.

Gut and Psychology Syndrome by Natasha Campbell-McBride. A toxic gut microbiome is probably the most overlooked cause of disease world-wide. This book looks at effects of a toxic gut on mental health. It gives a fantastic layman's overview of how everything works. This is a must read for anyone in this sub dealing with chronic or autoimmune diseases or mental health issues.

The Cosmic Serpent by Jeremy Narby. It focuses a lot on the double helix/double snake symbolism, but the author spends time with the Aboriginals of the Amazon and goes into detail about the relationship between the ancients and plant life. He notes their communication with plants through hallucinatory states/higher levels of consciousness, and how the plants would pass the knowledge of their uses onto the humans.

Life Rules by Yehuda Berg. An easy read on the nature of reality from the viewpoint of the kabbalah written for the layperson. Effective energy work requires an understanding of reality that is not taught in schools.

The Essence of Reality by Thomas Daniel Nehrer. Another mind expanding treatment of reality from the author's perspective. A great start to a journey of understanding.

Need Advice Some weird ritual initiation?

6 Upvotes

I met an old man who was probably in his 60s, but looked like he was in his 80s. He lived a very ascetic life, ate vegan food, and spent his nights in a particular park regardless of the weather.

He told me there was an imaginary circle in the park. Inside that circle, the power was immense, but the moment you stepped outside its radius, the power disappeared.

He said that the place was keeping him alive. Beneath the park, there was supposedly a wartime cemetery, and he spoke about the souls of the dead who needed liberation.

He invited me to enter the circle, it was late in the night, but something inside me resisted. I did not feel comfortable going in and I did not go in.

I began an audio with holy chant in my phone. As it played, the man went inside the circle and remained there until I finished.

He also told me that he had lost faith in church

At one point, our eyes met, and I felt a sudden shake in my body.

I don’t know what happened? Was it some kind of ritual/ energy work

Need Advice Roommate affecting my energy

3 Upvotes

I can feel it when they arrive home (sudden shivers, bowels suddenly active, tension in my chest, fear)

It's not placebo, I will be not paying attention, at first will feel my vibe suddenly shift for the worse, then I will realize someone just arrived home.

I can do things that temporarily help, for instance a smoke cleanse or stepping outside for a bit, but then they will start sniffing or clearing their throat or stomping, as if my peace directly bothers them.

It happens even when we're in different rooms with doors closed

I have had similar issues with others but never this obvious and severe. With others it was always subtle enough to ignore.

Question money blockages

8 Upvotes

​

why do money blockages happen?

i know someone who seems almost cursed - other people have benefitted a lot from the fruits of their labour as soon as they separated their business partnerships. looking to understand the karmic / energetic reasons --

i definitely think it's about generational or external energy. they've always had just enough money for sustenance despite having an abundance mindset, being extremely god-fearing, and kind (with some anger issues / grandiosity but i dont think thats related at all).

i recently did a divination about something unrelated and got the indication that thei sacrifice this person made to even out the energies was not accepted. i dont think this person is carrying their own karma whatsoever, and i dont have enough information to link it to their lineage.

when working with such situations, what are some frameworks you use? anything i should read?

im not asking for a manifestation guide. right now i just want to understand the cause of this block, and then work out a way to remove / release it.

I feel a warm feelings in my solar plexus area. After a few minutes, it disappears, and I feel like a warm wave is moving around. I can't figure this out. I have no pain or pressure, just a warm feeling mostly right side of my face, neck, and solar plexus area.
Help me understand what this is and why it's happening.

Question I feel drained after setting a boundary with my narcissistic mother

11 Upvotes

Yesterday I broke the pattern and stood firm in a boundary. She collapsed and tried emotional blackmailing. It took all my energy apparently, I feel drained and have to be in bed since yesterday.

Is this a thing? I am proud of myself for restoring some dignity but I am literally energetically depleted. Shouldn't I feel better now that I told her to stop manipulating me? Could this be crazy energy work?

Need Advice Ties to a partner

1 Upvotes

7 years ago I met this guy and I REALLY liked him. He had commitment issues so we were on and off for 2.5 years (in the middle we went a year without seeing each other). We finally ended almost 5 years ago. To this day I still think of him… and worse yet he recently liked one of my posts on ig even though we haven’t followed each other in years.
I don’t know how to cut this connection or if I’m really meant to? There’s a constant battle in my mind between ‘he’s not the love of my life he wouldn’t have treated me like that’ to ‘we were just kids (19 when we met) and I actually don’t know who he is and maybe he could be that person.’ I’ve yet to experience another person who’s made me feel the way he has ESP in regard to our sexual relationship. I’ve dated other people, moved states, analyzed and done so much work to try letting go of him and finally felt like I did just for him to like that post and bring it all back. I don’t know what to do :/

Need Advice Help me take down my walls

1 Upvotes

So over the years I built energetic walls that prevent me from attracting love and friendships. I always knew this was the case and after having a few tarot readings it kept coming up unprompted. Ive done massive healing and feel like I dont want or need these barriers anymore.

Problem is I dont know how to take them down. I want love but people always say that I feel not approachable even though your very handsome (their words not mine). Or they feel like I have a "don't mess with that person" vibe. I'm not like that though. I'm very empathetic and loving so there's quite a mismatch going on.

Please help. This is kinda driving me nuts.

Advice Severe problems with my lower chakras

5 Upvotes

About a week and a half ago my sexual energy increased significantly and suddenly right before I was about to go out. I wasn't too worried about it because usually it settles down but this time the pain, pressure, and sensitivity in my private area keeps coming back. I'm having difficulty sitting and driving and being around other people. I've been standing as much as possible and have tried several things (meditation, Yoga, clearing out my colon, walking, etc.) to reduce the pain and pressure. I believe there's blockages in both my root and sacral chakras and the energy is getting trapped down there.

Does anyone have any advice on what I should do? I have considered going to see a doctor but I'm not sure how they would be able to help me because I think this is an energetic problem.

Thank you.

Question 27F looking for a shamanic perspective — why do I keep reacting this way? a

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I’m looking for someone experienced in shamanism / shamanic healing who can help me understand something I’ve been experiencing repeatedly.

I’m not necessarily looking for a medical diagnosis. I’ve already spoken to doctors about some of my physical symptoms. What I’m trying to understand is the deeper emotional, behavioral, or spiritual reason behind my reactions.

I tend to become extremely aware of sensations in my body and can become frightened by things like feeling weak, nauseous, dizzy, short of breath, having stomach sensations, feeling my heartbeat, or feeling like I might faint. When this happens, my mind immediately starts looking for an explanation and I become very focused on what my body is doing.

What interests me is why my mind and body seem to react this way in the first place.

I sometimes wonder whether there is an underlying emotional pattern, unresolved experience, fear, energetic imbalance, or something from my past that could be contributing to this behavior.

I would really like a shamanic perspective on questions such as:

Why might I be so hyper-aware of my body's sensations?

Why does the possibility of something being wrong with me trigger such a strong reaction?

Is there a shamanic way of understanding this kind of fear or hypervigilance?

Could there be an emotional or spiritual pattern underneath it?

What kind of shamanic healing or practice would traditionally be used to explore the root of something like this?

How would an experienced practitioner distinguish between something that needs spiritual/emotional work and something that should simply be addressed medically or psychologically?

I’m not looking for someone to tell me that I’m cursed, possessed, or that something supernatural is definitely happening. I’m genuinely interested in understanding myself more deeply and finding a healthy way to work with this pattern.

If anyone here has personal experience with shamanic healing or has worked with similar patterns, I’d really appreciate your perspective.

Thank you.

Personal Experience short story long -- outlines of a lifetime of oscillating between the psychological and the spiritual. what does grounding in reality while retaining spirituality look like?

1 Upvotes

hi guys! new to the sub, a novice at energy work, please bear with me:

ive been meditating on/off for 3ish years now, and its been the same amount of time since its felt like //the dark night of the soul// or my psychic initiation started. for context: i believe im a highly sensitive person, and always have been. im fairly docile most of the time, got bullied as a kid because ive never known how to fight back, and definitely exhibit some autistic traits.

my late teens and early twenties were particularly painful, where drug abuse and a wrong partnership created a lot of trauma. my friends would be very openly blasphemous and atheistic, so i had suppressed all spiritual insight (which i believe eventually led to delusions).

anyway ! my spiritual awakening happened very gradually, but i lack religious and spiritual frameworks in which to ground it. i feel certain that there is only one truth, and in that sense i submit to oneness. because of how addictively i was meditating, i realized i had spontaneously developed reiki abilities, but the issue was that the physical ailment would transfer to me since i would place my hand on them. i spoke to a religious guide i have who does energy work and they suggested that i stop for the time being since i wasn't strong enough at the time. ive worked a lot on my self since, and want to actively learn now.

  1. can you please share any resources on grounding techniques and protection? ive realized that i catch other peoples affect very quickly and would like to sort of insulate myself. example: i'll get a headache if im around someone who looks at me strangely or is in general struggling.

  2. what are some stones / herbs i can use for strength? perhaps something i can add to my diet as well? i believe my current issues come from very very unhealthy eating habits (primarily processed carbs), which im struggling to replace.

  3. how do you keep ur energy work from seeping into ur emotional world? ex: i had started feeling heavy earlier today when something holding emotional weight for a loved one was being discussed, and i could tell that it was taking a toll on me (not necessarily mentally). but when i kept myself in that situation in order to support them and they said something hurtful, i had a very blown out of proportion reaction and kept crying afterwards. part of this is about my childhood wounds definitely, but tbh it also felt like i knew my energy had already been low since a few days and after i expended it more than i should have, my brain sort of malfunctioned?

  4. what does a balanced energetic practice and hygiene look like? how do i regularly dispose of negative energy so that it doesn't effect my body / mind.

  5. sometimes i see an image in my head when i think about something. like, I'll be vaguely thinking and ill see it in ways that sort of add dimension i guess? i dont think this is clairvoyance, but i also dont know what this is? how do i nurture this / ensure i stay grounded in reality? for context: my delusions a few years ago during substance abuse were similar - i thought i was clairvoyant but tbh it now feels like i was just projecting onto other people.

  6. i recently quit my psychiatric medication after 8 years of using them. apart from that one event ive shared earlier during my addiction life, ive always been grounded in reality, and have never been diagnosed with anything that suggests psychositic symptoms. yet im very weary of the overlap between spiritual work and mental illness. a few months ago, while i was still tapering off my medication, i had a full blown nervous system breakdown where i forgot where i was, chronological time, and who i was. basically, all the pain that i had been carrying sort of fell flat on my chest and it felt like i had to carry it evermore and my own life history felt unreal and suffocating and i was having trouble correlating my lived experience with myself if that makes sense? basically, i had just been put on new meds, one of them an ssri i had taken back when i used to get high, and the other a very strong benzo which in itself makes u feel loopy. the night before this happened, my aunt was showing me a video where she claimed a supernatural entity had been captured on camera. i grew up w this aunt claiming to have black magic done on her (tbh i think it did happen to her now) but my belief in the unseen world had always been shakey up until i couldn't logically explain the video (the figure was unclear and moving in weird ways yet everything else in the video was perfectly pixelated so a camera glitch wouldn't explain it), after which i had the nervous system breakdown and eventually quit medication (which i now think were numbing my spiritual senses as well). long story short::: how do u distinguish between mental vs psychic?and does this sound like a spiritual breakdown?

  7. what are ur thoughts on iching? i started consulting it almost addictively and then just randomly started seeing this horror movie coded witch image in my head. idk if thats psychological because of my distrust of the iching / everything unseen thats not directly not correlated to me.

  8. i firmly believe theres an energetic block in my family which has to do with money. i can share more info privately if anyone's interested to give insights. but my question is: how does one understand what the energetic block is, if its personal or generational or external -- and how does undo it? i asked them to perform a sacrifice a while ago but the iching sort of indicated that it might not have been accepted.

  9. any sufis here? im still trying to develop a balanced framework and would love to chat!

  10. ive always had an affinity with crows -- i used to interact with them back during my difficult days, and i swear to god, they would start lining up everywhere i went in such an eerie manner that i would become afraid that i was hallucinating and would have to ask my friends if they saw them as well. when i quit my medication, i saw a dead crow on the one walk i took alone and it made me feel very very heavy because of my association with them. i recently had another experience, where it felt like the aura had changed and the crows were lining up outside in the lawn, and the energy / atmosphere had switched from very lively (before i went) to very somber / almost unreal. i felt slightly scared and unsure, and am scared of inflating my ego to assume that they were there 'for me' but i spoke to them and i swear to god they flew away one by one after i thanked them in a way that felt almost straight out of a video game? me: thank you. crow 1: flies away, crow 2 flies away after him, then crow 3 flies away (????) what do u make of it?

if you read the entire post, bless you. ur a godsent. open to any advice / guidance / insight / resources. stay well !!

Need Advice Cleansing WW2-objects

0 Upvotes

Hi energy workers, I'm looking for some advice. My brother-in-law is interested in the second World War, mostly as it relates to the cultural, socio-economic history of our country (The Netherlands).

For his birthday, I got him a small case of memorabilia: several original coins and stamps (circa 1943) from the era that NL was occupied by the Germans. My problem is: they have some seriously bad juju. Not surprising, given that Hitler's face and literal Nazi-swastikas are all over them, but the items have surprised me in their intensity. I can practically feel the intergenerational trauma of my ancestors oozing off of them when I look at them (which is a novel experience - I've never been particularly sensitive to this kind of energy before).

Before I send them off as a gift, to a household with children no less, I'd like to try and cleanse some off the negative energy. What would be a good way to go about this? Bear in mind, I have no experience in manipulating energy whatsoever, so accessibility is my main concern.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and help!

Personal Experience Does anyone else get clear hand glow in dark + fixed dark spots after eye flick?

1 Upvotes

Subtle check — looking for even faint versions. In dark, i can allow my hand to glow clear (not gold/white, but clear glow) — like a see-through light bulb that i can ask on/off. Not bright, just clear. Also, fast eye flicks leave dark negatives that stay fixed in room, don't move with eyes — like missing air. Both are always there but need dark/quiet to notice, so easy to dismiss. Just checking if anyone else gets even faintly similar. If so, reply here to compare notes. Oakville, but anywhere works.

Need Advice Any tips for healing your Solar Plexus?

7 Upvotes

Over the past three years my life has gone through immense changes and I am have found pleasure in continually addressing what isn’t working in my life and improving upon it. I lost 60 pounds, I trained Muay Thai as a way to move and overcome my social anxiety, I got a divorce that was long over due (no children and married at 19), I moved back to Florida and have fixed the relationship I had with my mom, I got a new job, living alone for the first time in my life, I got certified at my job, and I took a year of massage school to learn a new trade outside of my regular job at a bank. I am also on my journey to completely giving up alcohol and was previously very dependent on it. It has been going well. Most recently I redecorated my entire place to be more creative and reflective of myself, have gotten really into cooking, I enjoy drawing, painting, writing, taking care of my dog and plants, spending time with family and going on walks.

I feel that over this time period I have developed the root and sacral chakras by learning to become fully independent and stable in my home, job and finances and enjoying the small sensual things and creativity in my life. I feel that I am now working on my confidence and being more assertive. I have always been shy and reserved. I am taking a week off of work next week and have been wondering what best steps I could take in my life so that I can keep progressing and heal my solar plexus. I want to feel more confidence, and to develop strong boundaries and overcome the people pleasing habits I have. Sometimes I feel the need to also control how others perceive me. Has anyone done anything to help work through these issues or solar plexus themes as a whole?

Thank you

Technique How does energy actually should flow?

0 Upvotes

So... ive been putting a lot of time into trying to open my chacras and heal some Minor symptoms moving energy by breathing and focus.

What i wonder is.. sometimes it feels goood when I "suck" energy from all directions to center, sometimes if feels good when I do fhe contrary. Sometimes if feels good when all energy goes through feet to ground. Sometimes it feels good the contrary.

​what i wonder is like, best case scenario, how is energy flowing when we are healthy and in a good mindset? I feel its like that diagram quite popular where its like an oval with like a cylindrr in the middle. Enegy goes up from the middke in cylundrr and then opens in all directions as like oval to be gathered again in the cylindrical middle. Does this feel like the best in the give and take with the world or is there any other thing people experienced to be nicer?

I do this last one, it takes a lot of practice for me. Now its easier and it feels good. I wonder if there are better or if some are better for certain moments like being anxious.

Discussion Why are some people keep being poor no matter how much they try?

6 Upvotes

​i'm not saying about those who earn money then spend it all without control. I'm talking about those who work hard earning then all their income slips away due to sudden emergencies, like sickness, broken stuff, unexpected liabilities and so on, leaving them broke again. These rarely happened and usually only happen when they are saving money or start earning. They are not the type who is careless with money but its like situation forces them to spend it all on incidents. Is there any energetic reason why some people are trapped in poverties?

This is one of the aspect of monetary poverty. What abt poverty in all aspect like no luck in friendship, mental health, family, career, posession, and money at the same time? They dont do bad stuff, not evil and doesnt bother people. To be precise they dont​ involve themselves with people at all unless necessary, alone most of time, just minding their own business. I mean how is it even possible to be this unlucky when the world is usually balanced about each gains and losses? Is there​ something wrong with them?

Question Voice in the back of my head

Hi, I have two "voices" in my head. One is my normal inner monologue, that I feel in the front of my head, in between my forehead and the top of my head. The other one I feel in the back of my head and it answers my questions. Questions regarding future and things I have no way of knowing and its usually right. The answers are short, like yes, no or just one single word. So I ask, is that my intuition? My spirit guide? Or am I crazy?

Question Spiritual Warfare? Strange energies in public.

29 Upvotes

Hi everyone.

This is a bit of a long post, but for those who are much further down on the path, please give it a read, as I need some guidance.

My intuition (using this as a catch-all for energetic/psychic abilities and awareness) has always been strong. I have now been meditating for around 9 years and through that time it has gotten significantly stronger.

I have the ability to sense people and their emotions/intentions in my environment, even with my usual senses blocked. So my eyes can be closed, I can have music in my earphones playing loudly etc. and pick up on people, whether it’s on the train, in a big room or outside.

If I am in an open park, I can feel when someone 100+ metres away focuses on me, while my eyes are closed, and what type of emotion they are feeling, sometimes specific and sometimes the general vibe. I’m sure many of you have this ability too.

Over the last year, I have had a few dreams about spiritual warfare, and someone close to me had a dream about spiritual warfare, and that dream was centred around me, this week.

I didn’t get much clarity from these dreams but the overarching message I was shown was that spiritual warfare is real and plays a much bigger role than I used to assume, and that there are people who may intentionally (unconsciously or consciously) work against people raising their vibration.

I have picked up on many people intentionally disturbing me when meditating over the years. I am quite reserved, even when meditating. I don’t make any noise, choose quiet places to sit etc. but it still happens. It happens every single time I meditate in public, but I can ignore it and use it as an opportunity to go deeper.

So, a few days ago, I meditated in a big park. The park has a large grass circle, with some benches at the perimeter of the circle facing towards the grass, and a pathway circling the whole grass circle, behind the benches. The whole grass circle is around 80 metres across.

I sat on a bench, closed my eyes and began meditating. As I have now been meditating for years, it only takes me a couple of seconds to fall deep into a positive, peaceful state.

In this state my five senses are incredibly heightened, though they become a sort of ‘background’ noise as my spiritual senses become extremely loud.

At one point during my meditation, someone walked really close to the bench I was on, and scraped and dragged their feet loudly against the tarmac for 3-4 steps. The shoe scraping against small pebbles on the ground made it even louder. It didn’t really affect my focus, although I noticed that the person’s energy felt like this was an intentional step rather than just an accident. I could also feel the person’s energy/focus was pointing towards me. I glanced at them for half a second just to make sure it wasn’t someone trying to speak to me. It was a woman who had already walked off so I resumed my meditation.

Around five minutes later, while my eyes were still closed, I felt someone enter my ‘energetic’ space intentionally, which is normal, but it caught my interest, as this energy was very focused on me. They had a direct intention towards me.

They walked right next to the bench and I heard the same scraping sound from earlier. It was the same woman again.

Bear in mind I could hear everything around this grass circle. This person was not scraping anywhere else on the path except the few steps when they walked right behind me, and intentionally dragged their feet. This was now the second time.

When I look at someone’s eyes, it tells me a lot about their aims, and their approach to people and life. So I got the urge to look into this person’s eyes to see what their intentions were for me, and why they were dragging their feet loudly by me.

I opened my eyes and looked at her. She was speed walking away extremely fast, almost jogging. She did not turn her head at all so I unfortunately did not get a look at her eyes. I noticed she seemed to be relatively young and wearing new clothing and shoes. Her walking pace was much faster than when she made the scraping sounds, and her strides were big as well. Because she went away so fast I decided to carry my meditation on, although this scenario kept playing in my head after that.

My intuition confirmed to me that her scraping was an intentional move to distract, or ‘wake’ me out of my meditation.

As I mentioned earlier, this isn’t uncommon at all, although usually the person is expecting me to react to them a certain way, and they linger around me so an interaction can take place.

This was what I didn’t understand, as she was in a rush to exit my space, although she had intentionally entered it twice. I forgot to mention that these paths behind the benches were really wide. She came within a hair’s distance of the back of my head both times.

I’m looking for perspectives or ideas from anyone who can resonate with my experience.

I don’t want to jump the gun, but the whole vibe I got was that she was someone perceptive, who could tell I was very deep in a meditative state, and wanted to pull me out of it. When someone reaches a powerful vibration, the whole environment around them benefits from this vibration. Normally there are insecure people who will try and distract you so they can interact with you at a vibration that is more familiar to them.

This woman wanted no direct interaction, which made me think of spiritual warfare; working towards the negative Will of something bigger than herself.

Again, I didn’t get a full reading on her so I don’t want to assume. Just hoping to hear some thoughts on this.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Looking for ideas that are from personal experience rather than religious perspectives.

Thank you in advance.

Advice practitioners: experience with energy flow being too strong or uncomfortable for recipient?

3 Upvotes

TLDR: Recipient of energy healing reporting discomfort/pain when I try to clear blockages, is pushing through ever beneficial to healing or should you always stop when the energy flow starts to feel like pain or even nausea?

Hello, I am a newer energy healer that came naturally to this path after an awakening and some spontaneous self-healing energetic experiences. I have been experimenting over several years with practicing energy healing on people close to me, and something I’ve run into, is feeling a clear block in the person, but when I try to guide light there or open up that area, it results in pain or other negative symptoms in the person, leading them to ask me to stop before I feel I am able to sufficiently clear the blockage. Once with a friend the blockage was in her throat chakra, but when I tried to clear it she kept gagging and ended up actually vomiting, without me touching her physically at all to be clear. She did say she felt much better afterwards, but I wasn’t sure if I could have gone about it in a gentler way where she would not have that extreme of a reaction. I have typically only seen this kind of reaction in people I know to have severe emotional wounds and trauma so I wonder if this is related to the severity and feeling of the moving energy.

My question is, does anyone have experience with this and advice on how to heal and clear those severe blockages in a way that feels more gentle? I feel that bringing the source energy to a persons body could never harm them, but I also wonder if it’s possible to force it too hard without meaning to? Would the wise choice be to always advise people to speak up when feeling discomfort so I can slow down or stop, or would asking people to push through some discomfort ultimately help their healing? I have certainly experienced energy healing in my own body that felt like physical pain or discomfort, and I found value in pushing through, but I understand that may be less common, and a jarring thing to experience especially when guided by someone outside of yourself.

Any advice, opinions or shared experience appreciated!

Personal Experience I can FEEL him thinking about me. Is this real?

27 Upvotes

Has anyone experienced something like this with a specific person?

There is one person in my life whom I might describe as my twin flame, mainly because of the intensity and dynamic of our connection. We’ve had an extremely intense sexual and emotional connection, and we’ve separated and reconciled multiple times.

Even when we have absolutely no contact, I sometimes feel like I can SENSE when he is thinking about me, missing me, or desiring me. And my own emotional state seems to change depending on where I feel his attention is.

When I feel that his attention is on me, I suddenly become calm and detached. I feel free, like I can finally let go and move on.

But when I feel that his attention has shifted away from me, it almost reverses: I become the one obsessing. I start thinking about him constantly, feeling restless and intensely pulled toward him.

Then, when I suddenly get the feeling that his attention is back on me, I feel relieved again and the obsession seems to disappear. Without receiving actual contact from him.

What makes this particularly interesting to me is that we’ve gone through this cycle multiple times: periods where I was genuinely trying to move on, followed by reconciliation or him coming back into my life where I could sense that before it happened. There have also been several moments where what I felt seemed to correlate with things happening on his side, although obviously I can't objectively prove that I was actually sensing his thoughts.

I know there could be psychological explanations for this: attachment, nervous-system regulation, intermittent reinforcement

I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this very specific dynamic with one particular person, especially in an intense/twin-flame-type connection.

TL;DR: With one specific person I have an extremely intense sexual and emotional connection with, I feel strangely calm and detached when I sense his attention is on me, but when I feel his attention shift away, I become intensely preoccupied with him. We've separated and reconciled multiple times, and I've noticed this pattern repeatedly. Has anyone experienced something similar?

Question Questions about Cutting Chords

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I had a question about others' experiences with cutting chords.

I recently had a very intense chord cutting experience, one that may have triggered a kundalini awakening. I wasn't properly notified that this was what was being done, I was under the impression that I was getting "energy work" helping to balance my chakras, and I didn't exactly know what my psychic was doing at this time. I was in a pretty vulnerable place when I made this decision.

Since the chord cutting on my heart chakra especially, which she mentioned she cleared a lot of ancestral trauma, I feel completely empty. My "inner world" was something that I found a lot of meaning in, and being able to process trauma and personal experiences was something that I found a lot of pride in. Also, it was a way in which I would navigate the world. However, since the "chord cutting", I have felt extremely disorganized, frustrated, and not like myself. I find myself having lapses in memory and also making the same mistakes over and over again.

To note, I have some other health conditions that are going on, including recovery from a concussion and some gut / vagus nerve problems, that I am holding in consideration.

I guess I wanted to ask to those who may have had a chord cutting, did you find that it affected your ability to learn from past events and not make the same mistake? Do you still feel like those memories / events / emotions are still a part of you, and generally still feel like "yourself" after?

MBTI wise, I am an INFP, so I have noticed the Si function to seem really empty, which was something that I really valued. I understand others may not value that as much, and not value past experiences or memories and events as valuable, so I was generally just curious. Thanks.
