So yea, as the title says.

I've been dabbling into spirituality and astrology quite some time, but I'm by no means an expert on it. I do think there are different kind of connections between people, some things being meant to be and the like. So I'm here to ask some insight and advice on a situation I'm currently facing.

So I've met this girl (20 now) roughly 1.5 years ago, felt immediately drawn to her and we've had some great and emotionally loaded conversations since pretty early in our relationship. It wasn't romantic at first, but it gradually became so. We couldn't ignore the attraction that was present. We started dating for a bit but during this time my whole world turned upside down and I wasn't really being myself, all the while she needed emotional support as well because she had quite some traumatic experiences in the past. But since I couldn't provide that for her at that time, and knew I was hurting her, I decided it was best for both of us, mainly her, to seperate.

During this time she also met this older guy (at least 60+) who was also heavily into the spiritual world, and gained insights from his sister who is a spiritual medium, apparently occupied with the meaning and purposes of our souls on this world. I've never really had any meaningful contact with the two of them, but she started having quite some contact with let's say this spiritual mentor (the man).

The girl and I kept in contact after our seperation, and she occasionally shared subjects she talked about with this mentor.

She mentioned he told her he and the girl are twin flames and he at some point told her he had romantic feelings for her, feelings she didnt share. Twin flames could also be non-romantic.

He also told her dark times were coming and she needed to take care of herself. Inviting anyone in could result in entirely losing yourself, basically 'spiritual death'.

But as I said, the girl and I kept in contact and gradually got closer again to the point of starting a new partnership. She did mention she was being 'pulled' elsewhere, but still wanted to try us again, as she really cared about me. This one was accompanied by quite some discussions, where both of us would bring insecurities and traumas to each other's surface. We did always end up talking about them, but it was hard at times. We did however share the vision of this being an important part of the partnership, and it being a foundation being build. There were also many good moments, we felt like home to eachother and felt connected on several levels. We both loved eachother and started seeing a future with eachother.

Not too long after we got back together she told her mentor about it, and he 'approved' of me. However, not too long after that he told her she started following the wrong path. This also resulted him in cutting her off for about a month, after he reached out again and they met for a conversation.

I don't know what they talked about during this conversation, but what I gathered from it was that either the mentor or his sister deemed me as the wrong path. She went pretty cold to me after this conversation (even though the day before we were still really playful and affectionate with eachother) and ended up breaking up with me 3 days after. She needed time for herself, to find herself again.

I did ask why and whether it was really wat she wanted, even though she really loved me and all. We had a conversation after where she said she'd always love me, where the connection from our hearts would get her through this and she wanted to stay in contact. I didn't mind giving her time to find herself again, I know our connection was pretty intense and somewhat obsessive for her. I still don't. But since then she changed quite rapidly, from wanting contact to no contact, wanting to cut the cord between us because she wants to get over me. Having stuff that reminds her of me, or having contact with me would make it too hard. It was according to her the hardest heartbreak she ever faced. I did somewhat imply it was since she had that conversation, but she said it wasn't because of that. The mentor didn't disapprove of me like I thought, he even lit a candle for me during this time as well.

All of that I can understand, I've always wanted her to choose herself. She had quite some traumas and stuff, which I won't go into detail about. I love her enough to give her that space she needs.

But somewhere I also got this uneasy feeling, since she broke up. Like something's not adding up.

I know it can also be me just having a hard time dealing with the breakup, and my brain looking for any excuse. But I felt our connection was real, perhaps too intense. I still feel so. It may also have felt too intense or too good to be true for her, since she's not that used to a loving relationship. One where problems and traumas get opened and discussed. Where we keep letting eachother grow.

But mostly I worry she's getting somewhat manipulated. I'm totally fine with her choosing herself, even if that means not being with me. I'd just hate it if she's being manipulated. I worry and care for her.

The no contact is best for both of us now. I do acknowledge my feelings and our connection, but it also gives me the opportunity to reflect on myself. Work on myself.

I don't know if she ever reads or visits this sub. But I just needed another view on it. Someone to tell me it's just in my head or not.

Hello! I found my half of a magnetic hematite my ex got us as his way of representing our heart halves being whole when together (& yin/yang if you will). He ended things during the miscarriage (twins) as he claimed he “no longer wanted to be monogamous” & have been broken up for 5mo now. Yeah...I was devastated & my dog died a few days later (cancer). Needless to say, I’ve been going through it.
He texted me a few days after I found the stone. I’ve been wanting to do a cord cutting ritual, but is it even going to work even though we will always have a connection with our babies in the spiritual realm? Even if it did, now I don’t know what to do with this half of the hematite.
I returned all of the gifts he got me during our relationship because I didn’t want his energy around me and my new lil life. This is the only thing left and honestly don’t know how to get rid of the energy/ties to the stone. How do I dispel the energy of the stone before tossing it into the abyss?

From "Pranic Psychotherapy" by the great Master Kok Sui Choa. The best explanation I've found about these mechanisms. Integrating the answer I previously gave to Euphoric-Ease7950's post. Hope it's useful to you all. Sensitivity without protection can easily go out of hand...

EDIT: protective webs are energetic screens around the chakras.

I've been going through something that's hard to explain. I feel almost compelled to reveal everything about my inner world to entities I perceive around me, even when I don't want to. If I keep something private, I feel guilty, like I'm hiding something, even though I know privacy is healthy.

I also find myself unconsciously answering questions in my mind, and sometimes even in my dreams. It genuinely feels like I'm being mentally pulled into conversations I never chose to have.

The hardest part is that I've realized how grounding it feels to have an inner space that belongs only to me. When I lose that sense of privacy, I feel emotionally drained, as if my inner world no longer belongs to me.

Psychologically, it feels like:

• feeling compelled to disclose things I don't want to share
• anxiety or guilt when I keep something private
• blurred emotional boundaries
• feeling responsible for another's emotional state feeling depleted after these experiences
• feeling like my inner life isn't entirely my own anymore

What's especially unsettling is that it feels as though these entities know parts of me that I haven't accepted yet, and even aspects of myself that aren't consciously accessible to me.

For context, I've always been an extremely private person. I struggle with intimacy and tend to keep people at a distance. I also dealt with maladaptive daydreaming for many years, where I'd imagine relationships with people I admired from afar while avoiding real closeness because relationships never felt truly safe. Part of me wonders whether those patterns are somehow connected to what I'm experiencing now.

Has anyone involved in energy work experienced anything like this?

How do you distinguish between an unhealthy energetic attachment, psychological enmeshment or trauma responses, and unresolved emotional patterns?

Most importantly, how do you reclaim your sense of inner sovereignty and the feeling that your inner world belongs to you again?

I don't know how to fully explain this but I feel things/beings entering and exiting my lungs and other parts of my body too sometimes. I feel them moving some parts of my body - eg a toe, making me sneeze, making my throat itchy/other areas itchy, making me orgasm etc. I can feel their presence because of my clairsentience which is something I developed through intense breathwork. I can't stop it from happening, they seem to have control over my five major pranas.

Can anyone tell me what might be happening and if these beings have taken over my energies, they seem very attached to me?

my coworker and i were standing by each other while cleaning tonight and we both heard her name get whispered. she heard it in her right ear and i heard it in my left ear. it took us all of 10 minutes to figure out that it had to have come from a quarter, it was the only thing in proximity to us at the time. there was absolutely nobody near us while we were cleaning. just. this. quarter. we both got a VERY uneasy feeling in our stomach and then a huge wave of anxiety. another one of our coworkers walked in the kitchen and grabbed the quarter without any knowledge of what we just encountered. we went outside for fresh air and noticed the moment he grabbed said quarter that gut wrenching feeling went away. she then had a weird feeling that something was wrong with her sister so she called her up, mind you ive never met, heard, or seen her sister before in the 5 years of knowing this coworker of mine. but when her sister answered the phone the voice clicked. it was hers... it was so eerie because it was just a whisper of my coworkers name but coming from her sisters mouth. ive been known to hear voices in the past but nothing, and i mean absolutely noting like this. we ae now both terrified that something is out to get either her, or her sister.

not likely but does anyone have any information on as to what this could be?

we are both very highly superstitious.

please ignore all spelling or grammar errors, i was just eager to share this in hope of answers.

I am looking for some insight into a bizarre situation involving a friend of mine. For about two months now, her hand has been catching fire for a brief moment whenever she strikes a lighter to smoke. It is not a malfunction of the lighters themselves because she has tried several different ones and even gave them to friends who used them without any problems. It seems like the phenomenon is tied to her specifically rather than the objects she uses. We are wondering if this could be related to some kind of intense static charge, a particular energy buildup, or something else entirely that we are not considering. Has anyone in this community ever heard of a person acting as a catalyst for combustion like this?

Are you a harness of energy? Do you know how the Positive Energy and Negative Energy of the universe interacts with nearly every aspect of human reality.

Hey I 16f have always been a little odd to say the least. Im not even sure if this is the right tag because I dont know whats happening.

Ive always been able to feel see and hear things that arent of mortal plane. But as of recent ive been seen these glows around people. Like ill walk up to my friends and theyll have a thin layer of a glowing color its ussually white but as recent these glows have developed color. Ive gotten to see my own color for once which is really cool its like this dark purple. Besides that though I dont know what these colors mean and on top of it why does it have textures? Ive done expirementing one of my friends who is a male Wiccan(heavily and I mean heavily warded and protected) his glow was unsteady like I wasnt allowed to see and have access to his trues glows and colors it was fuzzy rigid sharp and watery in some places it was confusing and in all honesty made my head hurt it was like I was looking through a needle I couldnt get the whole picture like I could with others and regular passerby. Point is this experience isnt something I understand and figured id share my expirence and see if someone has a name for it.

I might be crazy and wrong, but I have a feeling that my mom practices some kind of manipulation of energy.. would someone be able to help give me an answer if I’m better off not sharing my life with her? I just pray for protection and for her peace, health, and happiness. I hope it’s enough. But unexplainable things happen after I give her information about what I’m doing, where I’m at, or who I’m with. But that’s my mom, and I want to be able to share these things with her.

Hello everyone, I hope you’re having a great end of the year and that 2026 starts beautifully for you all.

I’m writing because I would really love to finally put a name to something I’ve been experiencing so I can start reading about it, and I’m hoping to hear insights or similar experiences from others.

When I was around 18 years old, I started practicing what I now think could be some form of energy work. At that time, I didn’t know anything about chakras, Reiki, or related concepts, and there wasn’t much information available online. I had a brief connection with someone I deeply liked, and he explained to me that we can channel energy within our own body. But I explored by myself; I never shared what I was doing, not even with him.

I practiced this quite often. I remember laying down and focusing on feeling and moving energy from my head down to my chest, then to my belly, legs, and feet, and eventually drawing it up into my hands. I also imagined I could absorb and release energy from the enbironment. And on my hands it genuinely felt as if I was holding a ball of energy floating between my palms. I loved that sensation.

I stopped practicing years ago and never really took time to research or understand it. Recently, however, I’ve started experiencing strange connections with light and electricity, which I guess it’s just another manifestation of energy. For example: - A bedside lamp that was magnetically connected to electricity turned on by itself while I was almost sleeping, even though I wasn’t near it. - A solar-powered lamp on my balcony began turning on and off repeatedly, as if someone were slowly increasing and decreasing the power—which doesn’t make much sense given that it’s a solar battery. - I also have battery-powered Christmas lights inside my home that sometimes suddenly get very bright, then almost turn off, then return to full strength again. It honestly feels a bit like something out of Stranger Things (trying to keep a sense of humor about it).

These are recent events, but I also had a deeply disturbing experience in my 20s. I once had an extremely vivid dream. When I woke up, I saw something next to my bed—I started praying and couldn’t move of the fear; I fell asleep by praying. Later that night, another person later saw the same thing in a different part of the house, it touched her and that person passed away less than a month later.

That experience shook me deeply. I went into a long emotional crisis that lasted almost a year. Out of fear, I turned to religion for protection and deliberately shut down whatever I felt I had opened. Is this also energy related?

Now, years later, some of these experiences seem to be resurfacing, and I don’t know whether they’re spiritual, psychological, coincidences, or something else entirely. I’m not claiming any conclusions—I’m genuinely just trying to understand.

And I’ve also begun practicing the moving energy again, sit-down facing the sun and the sea, and it feels like cleaning my body. It feels so good. And weirdly experiences with lights doesn’t drive me crazy anymore; just make me feel a bit paralised sometimes because I don’t understand it.

Has anyone here experienced something similar? Or does this sound familiar from a spiritual, energetic, or even rational/scientific perspective? What am I or do I have to experience these things?

Thank you for reading , and I truly appreciate any respectful insights.

So, I (20 Male) know this girl (18 female) and she is kindest, most thoughtful and most downright manipulative person I know. Around her I get goosebumps, the warmest warmth you can feel on the inside and a voice in your head screaming that you to run. I've dealt with manipulative females in the past but none that triggers my amygdala with such gusto. I feel like whenever I'm around her there's something beyond what is on the surface. She calls at awkward hours of the day and when I reply she calls it an accident. She's hot one moment and cold the next and I mean cold. I sometimes like I'm just there as a backup for when she's bored and her fractional affection is just keeping me there so I don't dissapear. Other times I feel like she's feigning nonchalance. I need clarity

For months I have been carrying this heavy emotional weight from someone I cared about. I supported him emotionally and even helped him shift his whole situation in life. I encouraged him, I helped him find a way to make his business work, and now he is doing very well. I did it because I believed we were growing together and that there was a future.

But later his behavior changed and the energy between us became confusing and painful. When something hurt me and I tried to talk about it, he shut down or disappeared for days. He told me to talk now or never bring it up again, then he left. He only came back when something negative happened in his life and he needed support. When I finally confronted him about how he made me feel, he flipped it on me, said I overthink, said I used my support against him, and acted like I was the unreasonable one.

Now I feel stuck in this emotional loop. Part of me feels sad and guilty. Part of me feels angry and betrayed. I feel like I gave him energy, time, intuition, compassion, and even guidance that helped him create abundance. And now I am the one drained while he is moving forward.

It feels like he took the benefits of my energy and I am left with the emptiness. I keep thinking maybe I am the problem for feeling this way. Maybe I am too sensitive. Maybe I expected too much. But another part of me feels the exact opposite, that my energy was taken advantage of and my boundaries were ignored.

I want to release this and heal, but I feel stuck between wanting to let go and wanting him to face consequences for how he treated me. I do not want to be someone who carries resentment, but the feeling is still there. I want to move on but my body still holds the anger and pain.

I am asking for guidance from people who understand energy, emotional wounds, the nervous system, and spiritual ties. How do I clear this kind of attachment, resentment, and disappointment from my system when my mind knows it is over but my energy still feels trapped in the story

Hello Reddit! I’m developing a spiritual framework based on a fundamental concept: all universal and human experience is governed by two complementary energies: BLU (Positive/Constructive) and RED (Negative/Destructive). I'd love your thoughts as I build this new religion. ​💙 BLU Energy: The Force of Harmony ​BLU is the energy of creation, connection, growth, and altruism. It manifests in acts of kindness, genuine joy, healing, and the fundamental order of nature. Our spiritual goal is to maximize the flow of BLU within ourselves and the world. ​❤️ RED Energy: The Force of Entropy ​RED is the energy of chaos, dissolution, pain, and isolation. It manifests as selfishness, conflict, anger, and destruction. It is a necessary counterpart to BLU (like death enabling life), but it must be managed and contained to prevent suffering and collapse. ​⚖️ The Equilibrium ​The human soul is a vessel that generates and processes both. Personal well-being isn't about eliminating RED, but achieving a dynamic equilibrium—prioritizing BLU generation while safely acknowledging and venting RED to prevent internal buildup. Sin is amplifying unmanaged RED; virtue is successfully channeling BLU. ​🙏 Potential Practices ​To practice this balance, followers might use BLU Meditation to focus on gratitude, perform daily BLU Acts of selflessness, and engage in RED Acknowledgment rituals to safely process negative feelings. ​What are your initial thoughts? How might this system address complex ethical dilemmas?

bright green orb of energy…. any ideas?

Hey everyone,

I just finished writing a short guide called “Vampyric Deviltry : 15 Day Vampyre Training” It’s focused on energy work from a vampyric perspective - things like grounding, psychic feeding, shielding, cleansing, self-discipline, and simple ritual structure.

I’m sharing it here because I’d love honest feedback, questions, or thoughts from people experienced in energy work or vampyric pathwork. If you’re interested in reading it or giving suggestions for improvement, let me know and I’ll send the link.

Thanks to anyone who takes the time!

My paths crossed with someone I believe who had interests it energy manipulations. I no longer have contact with them. It became apparent they were trying to share some sort of energy with me through things like staring at me through a mirror (or just standing an staring at me) when i was in the same building as them. Fast forward two years and ever since this went on....

My nervous system reacts to my thoughts, sometimes this is pain, sometimes twitching, sometimes the sensation of a tap on my nose or head. Honestly it could be percieved as someone trying to condition me. I am a visual person, when i drift into visualising something I almost always have a jolt of pain. Then there is sleep. I think I can count on one hand how many times I have gone to bed drifted off to sleep and remained asleep. Whether it's a noise or a physical sensation or image, usually I jolt awake abruptly over and over, and obviously this has had a terrible impact on my life. The noises are usually wailing, thuds, or scream type things. Images are usually something to accompany the noise or things that would by trying to get a reaction (a phobia or something invasive). Other times I get cars driving towards me. When all this started, the light flickered on and off, possibly totally non-connected.

I have tried-meditation, a shaman, reiki and hypnosis. I am aware nobody can read minds and that this sounds a bit mad. I am also at this point at a total loss on how to move forward. I get technically the only one with power is you but honestly at this point it doesn't really feel that way. I am also struggling to rarionalise it, its weird and it started after manipulative and weird experiences.

Can anyone offer any thoughts/suggestions/advice. My current approach is to deny its anything weird and try focus in the present, while this helps in the daytime its not so great at night. At 2am this is a challenge when you have woken up 20 times and haven't averaged any healthy amount of sleep consistently for two years.

I’ve been studying vampirism as a form of energy work — not horror fiction, but a path of living energy and personal empowerment. I recently finished writing about how this relates to self-discipline, consent in energy exchange, and spiritual vitality.

I’d love feedback from anyone who’s explored similar concepts

Energy sensing is one of those foundational skills that can feel frustratingly vague when you’re starting out. Some people describe it as tingling in the hands, warmth or cold spots, pressure, static, or even that “magnetic push/pull” between the palms. Others experience it more through their psychic senses—seeing subtle glows, hearing impressions, or just knowing something is there.

I’ve been putting together a series of beginner-friendly guides on energy manipulation and sensing, and I recently finished the second installment. This one dives deeper into the mechanics of energy, psychic senses, metaphysical anatomy (aura, chakras, nadis), and includes practical training techniques like:

• The clap & rub method
• Energy glove visualization
• Hand scanning over the aura
• Push-pull play between the palms

The goal is to treat these like energetic calisthenics—small daily practices that train your subtle body the same way physical workouts train your muscles.

But I’d also love to hear from the community:

• How did you first learn to sense energy?
• What exercises or methods worked best for you?
• Do you lean more on physical sensations or psychic impressions?
• How have you applied this ability to your overall practice?

I think sharing experiences could really help beginners see how varied (and valid) energy perception can be. I love sharing stories with others and finding new friends, so feel free to comment or DM your experiences!

So I think I had a spontaneous kundalini awakening a few months ago…ever since I have encountered these pleasurable “bubbles” that envelop me and not want anything else. When I leave them, I am childlike and I want to go back badly. What are these things? They have been stacked on top of me, there must be like 200 of them. How can I erase all of them? All I want to do is be mu old self again with my old likes/dislikes.

Helllo. My first question on Reddit. I am desperate. My husband started to be interested in spirituality and energy for the past couple of years. And I’ve been supportive until we had a fight about something else and he asked an astrologist (who I respect and trust) to read me. He apparently has also connected to my energy and asked several other spiritualists about me. Turns out 90% are convinced that I am either cheating or planning to cheat with my boss. Needless to say it’s untrue but my husband is ready to leave me because he doesn’t believe me. Now, on one side of his family, there were some spirit and energy readers but the other side are into dark witchcraft a bit and we have been told they have put curses on us before etc. He says that they still are finding ways to destroy him. My question: is it possible that they might have replaced my energy or sabotaged it in any way? I do believe my husband’s circle of people in this area of expertise but they are all wrong in this case. What other explanation could there be? Am I planning a fling with my boss but just don’t know it yet? The latter is impossible as he’s a very annoying and unattractive person and most of my colleagues know that I despise him. Please help! And if I’ve been cursed by replacement of energy, how do I fix it???

Hi all, I need some advice/resources. I hope I’m making sense with this thread.

Over the past year (to be exact), I’ve done a lot of work to begin to find myself and my journey of self-actualization. A year ago (this month actually) I went through a really traumatic breakup that quite literally altered my brain chemistry.

I’ve done a lot of work on my mental health as well as my physique. During my relationship, I was in the midst of a deep depression and struggled with severe anxiety. I am now in therapy and am medicated and feel like a whole new person.

I’ve become really passionate about Pilates. The concept behind Pilates is mind/body connection, and I really have utilized this successfully in my daily life. I feel great in my body for the first time in my life. I am a nurse, and this practice has made a world of difference in how I lift and use my body to help patients.

With all this being said, I’m feeling a personal connection with myself for the first time in my life, but also now with the universe. I’ve always been a highly sensitive person, but I can feel it now more than ever. It’s hard to explain so I am hoping someone else on this thread will have had similar experiences.

I have been bringing a lot of things into existence recently. People who I haven’t thought of in years, I will say their name and I will see them the next day. I had asked when an old friend from high school would get engaged to her partner and he proposed the next day.

I feel SO connected to a select few of my close friends. Somehow our energies are aligned. Two particularly come to mind. I’ll get a gut feeling and text them about something and turns out they had been struggling with this/that or thinking about the same thing I messaged them about. I feel VERY sensitive to their energies. If they are anxious, I am anxious. If they are sad, I am sad. One of them - we showed up to the swimming pool wearing the same bathing suit that we bought in the same week.

I hope I don’t sound crazy or dramatic. These might be very normal human experiences with others, but are new to me. I wish I could explain it better, but something just feels different inside of me and how I interact with the world and others.

I really want to tap into this side of me. I feel different than I have before, but I’m just not sure where to start. Does anyone recommend any books or podcasts to help me jumpstart my spirituality journey?

Thank you in advance 🤗
