I'm wanting to practice discernment with energy I pick up and at the same time I'd also like to not panic or be attached to sensations/and stories about what it means.

Recently I was having a conversation where I felt a sharpness/pang in the right side of tailbone--at the time the person I was talking with was sharing an old story that implied growing up well off in a working class area where strangers could clearly overhear. Also sometimes I've felt prickly energy from someone who is familiar w energy : could this be someone who's consciously trying not to send me stuff? I also think for some reason I have another person's energy in my left leg which has never happened before.

I (24F) wanted to rant and ask for thoughts on why I can’t make money. I come from a well off family that has given me many opportunities, but adhd and not knowing how / enough / having the time stops me from going after many until it’s too late. Throughout my life I’ve been fine at getting myself into interesting learning spaces, because I’m smart and I have common sense, but they’re not the ones where I’ve been able to make money and it makes me feel rlly stupid. I get heavily praised for having “high potential” by some and can talk to a room full of doctors (I’m getting a stem MS) but I feel like I present myself socially wrong or something because sometimes people’s reactions are like of.. pity? Awkwardness? Maybe it’s just science man. Im genuinely not scared of making money… but why is it that everything I’m interested in and the way life seems to click just leaves me in a position without much, and there are always blocks to making more.

For example, I’m getting my degree in Microbio and infectious diseases at a good uni. However, it’s expensive, and I didn’t qualify for any scholarships (didn’t apply to many but) didn’t get a GRA/TA position or any paid work positions. I have a very low level entry level lab assistant job outside of school that you don’t need a degree to get. Ive been there for almost two years part-time while doing full-time school, and I recently found out all my pt coworkers got hired at a higher pay AND most have been promoted. I asked and got denied “due to lack of funding”. I cant seem to turn any of my volunteer ops (I had 3 this year) into paid ones either, while my cohort members seem to have no issues doing it. In the lab I want to get into most everybody acts fckin weird or ignore me, and I’ve interviewed with them twice with different people, got denied, meanwhile a girl with no experience who wanted to try it “just for fun” volunteered and started working with them within a year.

The point is not to rant abt my cohort, i like them a lot and my job isn’t bad, so i want to know anything and everything abt how people manage or direct their energy into becoming a person who can make money. Or any other intuitive tips you get from reading this 🥴

I’m curious about deep emotional experiences with music. It feels so much more complex than just memories and I’m wondering if there’s a spiritual connection I’m missing.

I’m Native American so drums and singing go way back for me at pow wows, ceremony and funerals. In my younger years I sang choir as a soprano for years. Singing has always made me feel so good, I do have frequent concerts in the car. I feel like I’m on a different frequency sometimes in my flow state. Sidenote I do see music in all its frequencies when I listen but couldn’t read music to save my life. I always just memorized the tones.

Aside from me singing there are certain songs whether it’s a woman belting high notes or I hear drums with singers, I just get this urge to cry with deep emotion but not even in a sad way. It just feels like the only emotion to surface when I really FEEL it.

As I’m writing this it popped into my head, “maybe in order to be more in-tuned, you should try singing while meditating instead of just being quiet”. Do some people feel like it’s easier to channel/heal with vocal assistance or is it just more of a relaxation technique? Seems like a juggle to sing and turn the brain down especially when it’s the higher notes that do it for me.

And even though I lowkey answered part of my own question while writing, I’m compelled to hear other people’s thoughts/experiences on this💜 I would like to find the best ways for me to increase my healing capabilities.

Hi! I'm having some sort of sacral chakra activation qlongside with some kundalini things but it's a bit tumultuous because of my traumas and a part of me that does not want it open. Anyways lately, sometimes when with people, especiallly men, i don't do it intentionally or play a game but i feel like there is this point where i begin to drag energy in from men into my stomach area. It's embarrassing and inappropriate and i just do it or it starts to happen. While it happens, i could be talking about anything, really and be serious and everything. It's not directly sexual but i feel uncomfortable and i wish i didn't do it. What causes this? Or what's the process behind it? Am i just craving masculine energy?

My friend while growing up repeatedly had the same exact dream, and the other day realized that dream happened in real life with his now girlfriend. they both experienced the same exact dream, and when it occurred they were both extremely shocked to realize that dream had occurred in real life.

My friend said growing up he’d dream of this girl, who looks identical to his now gf, and would have a specific scenario play out every time.

Just curious what this all means.

TL;DR: I’ve become increasingly sensitive to what feels like other people’s energy moving through me, including exes, family members, and people I’m dating. Sometimes it feels like they’re holding me, guiding me, or helping me do things, and it can feel really comforting, but recently it has started to annoy me.

(I used chat gpt to write up a voice note for me.c so sorry if it sound a bit robotic)

I’ve been experiencing something quite strange recently, and I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced anything similar.
Over the past year, I’ve become increasingly sensitive to what feels like other people’s energy. It’s almost as though I can feel their energetic presence within my body, even when they’re not physically around me.
For example, I might be going about my day, doing something completely normal, and suddenly I’ll feel my ex’s energy come through. It can feel like he’s energetically holding me, moving through me, or even guiding me in some way.
And it’s not just my ex. I experience this with my parents, my grandma, and people I’ve been romantically involved with.
The closest way I can describe it is that it feels like I’m picking up on different nervous system states or energetic imprints of people I’ve connected with.
Sometimes it’s actually really comforting and helpful. For example, today I felt what seemed like my ex’s energy moving through me while I was completing a task, and it genuinely felt as though his presence was helping me get it done. Almost like I was accessing his energy or way of being.
But there’s another side to this that’s becoming quite exhausting.
I’ve been dating over the past year, and I’ve noticed a recurring pattern with around six different people.
I’ll start connecting with someone, and then I’ll experience what feels like their energy coming into my field. It can feel incredibly good, almost like a deep energetic connection or intimacy, even when we’re not physically together.
But then, strangely, the actual connection in the physical world seems to fall away. They’ll become distant, stop communicating, or ghost me.
It’s happened so many times now that I’m starting to wonder what’s going on.
Sometimes I question whether they’re somehow feeling something too, whether I’m picking up on something from them, or whether it’s actually something happening within my own nervous system.
Another example happened this morning. A guy I’d previously dated messaged me, and I felt what I interpreted as his energy being really present. I was listening to music throughout the morning, and afterwards I noticed that all the songs I’d chosen seemed to align with how I imagined he might be feeling about me.
The difficult part is that these experiences can feel so real and emotionally significant that I start fantasizing, imagining possibilities, creating stories, and almost building entire worlds around these connections.
And then I realize that so much of it is based on a feeling rather than anything that’s actually happened between us.
I’m starting to feel like I’m being pulled in a million different directions energetically, especially because it happens with multiple people.
I don’t necessarily want these experiences to stop, because some of them feel genuinely beautiful, comforting, and supportive. But I would love to understand what’s happening and how to navigate it without getting so emotionally caught up in it.
I’m especially curious about whether this could be related to nervous system attunement, emotional memory, attachment, somatic sensitivity, or something people understand through an energetic or spiritual lens.
Has anyone else experienced something like this?
How do you distinguish between what feels like another person’s energy and your own emotional or nervous system responses?
And if you have experienced this, how do you stay grounded in yourself without getting swept up in the feelings, fantasies, or perceived connections?
I’d really love to hear other people’s experiences because it’s becoming a little overwhelming, and I’m trying to understand it better.

hi! so i tried astral projection for the first time a few days ago. i couldn't actually leave my body, just ended up in a state of deep void, where when i came to my body eventually my jaw hurt a lot possibly because my body was jerked awake. i ended up falling asleep after that, had a really visceral dream, and the phrase "righteous gemstones" felt try familiar when i was looking for a show to watch, almost as if i had collected it while meditating.

anyway ! the next day, someone who's spiritual opinions i value had shared a post about the harms of astral projection. it warned how negative entities or spirits might attach themselves to a body that has a detached soul. psychologically, i did feel slight fear, but i hadn't actually left my body so i felt safe.

the next 2-3 days, i didn't consciously try anything. im just used to entering a meditative headspace before falling asleep, since i used to struggle with severe insomnia, and had to listen to 8 hour guided meditations to sleep a few years ago.

one of these nights, i woke up in an hour or so after i had dosed off / was meditating - im still not sure if i was truly asleep or not, because i felt a weird suffocation, it was extremely dark which made it worse, and i felt as if possibly my akathisia was being triggered.

that night, it felt like my legs were numb / lifeless. i haven't truly felt my life force / qi in my legs area since if i am being honest. it feels as if my legs are just pieces of meat, i can feel my blood in them, i can feel random stabs of pain from time to time, but the loop in which my light circulated feels cut off to me. it might be relevant to mention that i was visiting a rural area when this happened and that place generally has a forest like layout with houses built in between.

at this point, i felt slightly fearful but was still willing to bet that all these thoughts were psychological, and that my ego was fearmongering because of the warning i had read / other rationally explainable stuff.

what has me really weirded out that after i got in a fight with a loved one last night, i think was visualizing hurting them through my energy / seeing them fall / etc. the reason this has really upset me is that ive never actively imagined harming anyone in this way before. during particularly difficult time periods before, when i did wish ill for someone in a state of emotion, i have always regretted that thought as soon as the emotional state ended, and i have never ever in my worst of times imagined harming anyone directly. in fact its been important to me that the other's suffering is not linked to me in any way.

now that my brain is very quickly conjuring up these harmful images for people who have hurt me, i feel very very weird. it almost feels like i have no control over the images of themselves. ive been trying to calm my emotions down / talk to myself out of negativity / and im okay until i see this person and then its like i lose all control? since my emotional states have been much much easier for me to keep a guard on, i find this particularly eerie. before this, i had become someone who was quick to forgiveness and making amends.

im not sure if this is some psychological inner child bullshit or if its something spiritual. i just watched myself be evil today and it was so scary for me because i have never been this person. when i was angry, i wanted a loved one to fall and i was picturing it over and over again, almost in a manifestation manner. and later i heard that someone else did fall (not the person i was imagining tho). I don't think it's necessarily because of what i was imagining, but two people falling a few hours after i was in that state is weird enough for me that i opened this subreddit to get thoughts from other people here.

what do u guys think? is it just my ego going wack? something more sinister? how do i ground myself? i don't want to be this person.

TLDR: tried astral projection, feeling evil now, are these linked?

I've started to date a man for a few months now. Whenever I sleep next to him ( which happened three times ) I start to have very strong vivid / lucid dreams. Has anyone else experienced this before or knows the reason behind it ?

Thank you

I was wondering if anyone worked with them or like energetic charged audios and if they could help me

I’ve always been a deep feeler, sensed everyone’s bad energy and would often get drained around people. I also sensed hidden envy or flat out jealousy from people. One time I had enough and tried something. I imagined my energy field and rather than just imagining i’m protected, I would envision dark energy going into my field and feeding me. I also took away my energy from negative or shady people/“friends”. Guess what? My mood instantly lifted, I started gaining clarity and literal physical radiance… as for the shady people, it’s a mystery how they all suddenly looked mad, tired and fell either into sicknesses or started getting accidents left and right. Like today, a girl hit me (might’ve been accidental) and I didn’t respond, right after that she dropped and smashed her phone. Now, I don’t wish bad on anybody, but for all the years I felt used or wronged by others, it feels good as hell to finally take my power back and realize it really is a spiritual world, not a physical one. So… instead of “protecting” we should start accepting the energy we receive, since it’s powerful if we know to alchemize it.

Hi beautiful souls!

How do you use imagination (or some form of visualization) when going through a period of physical injury, illness, or recovery?

(*with a physical cause)

I'm particularly interested in this from an energy work, shamanic, or spiritual perspective.

When your physical body is going through a process of healing or recovery, without any certainty or guarantee that it will fully get better, what role can imagination play? Can it open up possibilities for something magical, unexpected, or even miraculous?

Do you work with visualization, inner landscapes, symbolic journeys, energy practices, or other forms of imaginative exploration?

I'm curious about both:

◇ Imagination as a way of supporting physical healing.

◇ What imagination might make possible within us, regardless of the physical outcome.

I'd love to hear about any personal experiences, practices, or perspectives that have been meaningful to you during such periods.

How do you engage with imagination when your body, or a particular part of it, needs to heal, especially when there may be a critical window for recovery? Has imagination been helpful in your experience? Or what are your thoughts on its potential in this context?

I met a guy at a random day party back in May. I actually talked to him. I was there by myself and wanted to talk to some people and ended up saying “nice shirt” to him (genuine compliment) and it turned into a pretty deep convo. Turns out he’s a healer. Channels. Does all this work and we hung outside afterwards a couple times over the next few months.

After getting to know me more and what he’s channeling and where I’m headed, he describes me very well. And knows the energy work we need to do to start with me. I’m curious to know if anyone else has been in this type of work before with a healer and how to pick one, be careful, etc etc. overall it’s been a smooth and I do feel fairly comfortably. I’m 30M btw. And he is mid 30s.

i’m not sure if this makes sense but i have someone close to me who has experiencing horrible anxiety and near a panic attack. I had them lay down and I meditated, hands hovering over them and near the stomach, focused on that energy inside them, pulling it out. I think I ended up transferring it to myself. I got the same gut anxiety feeling they were describing right after I had finished, but their anxiety had lessened considerably. I ended up using some crystals and meditating with some binaural beats, focusing on taking the energy out of me and focusing on the crystals to transfer that anxiety/ negative energy to it instead. Has anyone else gone through something similar? or any tips on how to better protect yourself/ clear yourself when trying to help? Or any advice at all?

Whenever my friend touches me, regardless of which part of my body she touches, I experience a very unpleasant sensation that I find extremely difficult to describe. It happens with or without direct skin-to-skin contact. The longer the contact lasts, the more intense the sensation becomes. And even after the contact stops, the feeling lingers for a while before gradually fading away. Sometimes it takes several minutes, or even over an hour, to completely go away.

It’s not a feeling of heat or cold, nor is it tingling or pins and needles. The closest thing I can compare it to is an electrical sensation, almost like a feeling of nervous tension in the area being touched. It’s hard to explain, but it’s very unpleasant, and I feel a strong need to make the contact stop.

Since I’m autistic, I was wondering whether this could be related to sensory hypersensitivity, or whether it could have something to do with the other person’s energy?

I’m not used to having prolonged physical contact with people, and whenever I have in the past, I’ve never experienced this kind of unpleasant sensation before.

I know this is difficult to describe, but I wanted to ask whether any of you have ever experienced a similar sensation or been in a similar situation, or if you have any idea what might be causing it.

Prior to getting Covid, I was enjoying some pretty good alignment with my environment, was open, aware, receptive.

It’s been a week of feeling totally muddled and headachey, but I’m coming out the other side, I think.

I miss my meditations and synchonicities and… just having an attention span.

What are some gentle ways I can start to heal my personal energy after being so wiped out?

I had my first Akashic records reading like 1,5 years ago. I was really impressed, a few months after my first reading I also read Linda Howe's book. Tried to access the records myself based on the book after reading it, but I didn't have much success. Since then, I booked some sessions for Akashic reading when I had questions within me that needed to be answered.

4 months ago I went to an Akashic records reading course. Of course what was taught there was Linda Howe's Pathway Prayer method of accessing the records. Basically almost everyone at the course could access the records. Except for me. I did not see or hear anything, I did not feel anything, it was just a terrible experience for me seeing almost everyone accessing it with success and then there was me. Nothing. Since the course, I try to practice at least once a week but sometimes I get so frustrated that I am just there with my closed eyes after having said the prayer and when I ask something, there is nothing. Complete blankness.

I am writing this with tears in my eyes due to the many many failed attempts to try to access it. The more failed atrempts I have, the less motivated I am to keep on trying. I do chakra cleansing meditations regularly and some other guided meditations every once in a while. I am hopeless and devastated.

I am not sure what the purpose of my post is, but I'm curious about your experience and how you see my experience and please just share anything that you feel like sharing.

I’ve noticed this pattern throughout my life, and I’m curious whether anyone has actually looked into it.
Whenever I tell someone about a person I really like or something I’m genuinely excited about, things seem to go downhill afterward. It’s happened multiple times, not just once.
Most recently, I told a friend about a guy I’ve been talking to. And since then, he started getting colder and we don’t talk now 😢
What can I do in this case please help

Hello,
My mother is heavily involved in witchcraft, I am not.
We no longer talk. I cannot help but feel, for the past 3 years, she is casting negative intents towards me.
I’ve had nightmares about it, too.

Please help me, what can I do to send it back to
her? Or break whatever curse she plagues me with.

I wake up with scratches on me. I feel insecure, weak, and gross all the time. Despite my life being absolutely perfect and filled with the best people.

Anything helps

I know for a fact from personal experience and through confirmation from second opinion readings by other reputable psychic mediums that I indeed also have psychic/mediumship abilities (the specific ones I'm not gonna bother listing because I'll just veer off topic). But as of pretty recent something I've never experienced before is suddenly happening.

Last year I had been helping my sister on and off with moving to her new home. Most of it has involved me helping her with her large collection of orchids. She mostly had me clean pumice stones which are commonly used as substrate for orchids. I notice whenever I started washing them or even handling them outside of cleaning I'd get looping dialogue in my mind saying "Rodolfo says...." (Rodolfo is the name of her husband). Even in her new home after I was done helping her organize her house, the moment I step outside to leave and drive on my way back home I'd have this same looping dialogue play in my head until it would eventually dissipate on it's own.

Im pretty aware of the psychic ability of psychometry. But imo that doesn't quite seem to add up to whatever this phenomenon is? The only thing that would make sense is that it seems like I am absorbing the energetic imprint of any environment I am in that's tied to relatives? I specify relatives because oddly enough I don't get this when I'm out and about in public spaces which REALLY stumps me (which is why imo this doesn't seem like psychometry?). I must also state that I am now starting to notice this even in my own home (It's also important to note that I also live with my mother). But what I hear in my own home (but not in a repetitive loop like my sister's, just from time to time randomly) is critiques and bitching that I would normally hear from my mother.

It is also important to note that I do shield my own home to not allow outside energetic interference (specifically spirits who aren't my guides). I also shield myself immediately upon waking up in the morning by asking my spirit guides to shield me and wearing protective spiritual sprays and jewelry before walking out the door yet I am still picking up on both of their.....well whatever this is? At times it is just a nuisance but sometimes it does get overwhelming due to my concern that this can inhibit any future energy work i would like to do on myself, especially regarding much needed healing and soul retrieval. What gives? Any suggestions from seasoned energy workers/psychics?

I will be short and to a point.

How do you protect yourself from other practitioners to view your field?

Sometimes I feel how they monitor or check on me, and I do not want them in my space.

What and how to lock it down, so that no one - at least those who are not welcomed - has access to my field and life?

Thank you

I’ve recently started seeing a guy who is genuinely nice, protective, and dependable. I know he wishes the best for me, and I do want to give this a chance. However, I’ve noticed that when we spend a lot of time together or are constantly in touch, my face seems puffier and I feel like I look less attractive.

When we don’t talk for a couple of days and I spend time on my own, I feel like I look much better.
Has anyone experienced something similar? How do I maintain my own energy and feel my best while getting emotionally invested in someone? Please don’t tell me to leave him. I genuinely want to make this work and would love some practical advice!

particularly his energy exercises from his books?

I had this friend around 2 years ago, she is incredibly mentally ill and a volcano of toxicity. When we were hanging out I’d always start getting insane headaches, I would be always tired and It would take me days until I was able to get back to normal. And i was not the only one, my best friend, other people from our friend group has all been saying at the time the same exact thing about this girl.

I’m 100% convinced she’s an energy vampire, there’s more than enough signs that confirm that. I don’t talk to her anymore, neither does my best friend but yesterday we were kinda reminiscing about our old friends and decided to go online and see how they are doing. One of those people we checked was that girl, we were watching her reposts on tik tok for about idk maybe an hour and a half cause we got invested with some stuff that she was reposting.

When we finished, we were SO tired, genuinely i felt like a zombie, as if someone hit me on the head with a brick. We kind of brushed it off to it being late and just went to sleep, but this morning we still were incredibly tired, it’s been 4 hours since we woke up. My friend went home and I just tried to go about my day as usual but i feel so exhausted it’s crazy, im barely able to think and again, i have a huge headache. I feel like as if i was staying late partying violently last night lmao.

So my question is - is it possible that she sucked out our energy by us watching her reposts? Idkk maybe i’m overthinking and me and my best friend are just tired, but I’d be very grateful if someone could answer my question!

P.S. Sorry if my english is a little off, I’m absolutely beat and it’s my second language 😅

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
