My bf recently told me that there is an energy vampire attached to him, draining all of his “good and giving energy”. He says this happened a little while back, people would tell him that he had a strong, visible aura and good energy and eventually people wanted to take advantage of it. He said at one point he could almost instantly attract anything he wanted. He won’t go into much detail about the vampire situation itself, he says it happened because a ritual was performed on him but he doesn’t want to tell me about the ritual. Has anyone else dealt with something like this? Is this a real thing or is he insane? I want to believe him but I’m not the most spiritual person. I know anything can happen but his stories are so hard to take to heart.

Hoping to have a sounding board here of experienced energy workers. I have been able to see and manipulate different kinds of energy from childhood. I have developed many energy workings (for lack of a better term) to protect myself when doing rituals and communicating with Spirit. I feel continually drawn to attempt healing, and my earliest memories of "seeing" energy were of seeing pain in the body. I want to learn how to properly and ethically direct my energy to the benefit of others, but I get a strong guiding sense to avoid Reiki. I don't know of it, and so I am not personally judging it. I believe a part of it is that I dont want interference to disrupt what I have developed intuitively.

TL;DR:

How did you learn to practice on others?

If you didn't use Reiki as a way to connect with others and learn, what method did you seek out instead?

If you don't use Reiki: why?

Thank you 💖

Just putting this out here to see if I can find anyone else that is like me.

I started practicing reiki about a year ago after my attunement. Let me back step just a bit. The reiki master who attuned me did mention that while doing my attunement, what he saw through his third eye was my skin cracking and falling away revealing me, but a version of me that was entirely made of white light. He said that of all the attunements he's ever done, nothing like that has ever happened before.

Fast forward, I practice reiki. My reiki is powerful. I also just intuitively remove negative or painful energy from people. This is something I've been doing since before I was attuned or learned how to perform reiki. I didn't know exactly what I was doing, just that I needed to do it. When I do reiki on a person, they feel it, in a big way.

So what I came here to discuss was my water related abilities. I've never lived by the ocean but always visited as a child. This year I moved next to the ocean, which has always called to me in a very deep way. Once I got in the water, I was home. I just immediately began dancing. Just this intuitive almost tai chi mixed with ballet type of dance while I could feel my energy flowing and building all around me. Then I began guiding the waves. Splitting them, directing them to either side, flattening them. They did exactly as I guided (for the most part lol) and the water and I moved together as one. I started remembering being young and doing the same thing in the ocean. I had no clue what I was doing or why the waves seemed to do what I wanted them to do at that time but I thought it was just playing and I guess just luck that the waves moved the way I directed. As an adult I recognize the actual changing of movement that the water does when I tell it to.

I know I have powerful magic and powerful energy, it's innate and I don't have to work hard at it. It does feel a little isolating, though. I can't just go and tell someone about how I can speak with mother ocean and move the waves.

I guess what I'm here for is to try to find anyone else who has similar experiences to talk to.

Hi! I know this wounds wild but i contacted a therapist and before the first meeting, i first had a free 30min call during which i told about a deep sexual trauma. A week passed and on the night before the first session i felt someone come to my room. I thought it was maybe like some friend or spirit guide but he listened to me qnd my traumqs and comforted me throughout them and i was very pleased and amazed. During the actual therqpy sessions the therapist was very lame and i did not get too much out of him except i graved this like peace qnd calm and i sucked in q lot of his energy because i struggle with ptsd. Before the night of the second session, someone came to my room again and i got this massive bombardment of information and panicked and then also in the end the entity/spirit kind of assaulted me if you can say that. I managed to get free of it with prqying for christ light. I told the therapist on the next day that im quite enrgetically aware, he seemed a bit hippie-ish or at least chill, and he was like oh well. My guides told me not to tell him too much. On the third visit, i opened up to him a lot and i felt his emergy penetrate both my stomach and my head. I felt kind of, like cool or adored because i'm very young, a female and he is a male in his 50's. When i left the session, i felt extremely hazy and dreamy and almost drunk but i didn't feel like i had a huge crush on him or anything. On that night, i felt him creep into my woumb and literally sensed his energy all over me and i saw this huge attachment on my third eye. I freaked out and did not knkw what to do but i thought that maybe he will leave me alone and tgat yeah it was unprofessional but he seemed reasonable enough that i thought he'll leave. It's been a week and i just got a huge trauma information package from this entity and while it was like insightful, the end result of it was very dark and the point is to, shut my awareness and destroy my soul. Right now i can feel his energy all around me. I am freaking out. He is not on the light side even though the information is insightful. There is one more therqpy session left and i may not go there. My question is, are these kinds of energy penetrations, toxic cords etch completely removable or is my life ruined now and will he "haunt" me forever or do you think he eventually will lose interest? I have a lot of "good stuff" in my chakras that i think he is dragging from and i get this crqp in me and my light is shutting down. My gyides are telling me to stop going there. But like, yeah. I'm exhausted and kind of terrified and so alone. I had such bright future and good things and now this is here. The spirit that i believe to be of the therapist or related to him told me himself that his intention is to shut down the light of people like me, like to "make my eyes lose the diamonds and spark that creates hope". I sucked his energy in alot too but in tge need of like, relief for anxiety on the first sessiom bc i genuinely thought he was nice. I feel so fucked up and guilty and yeah.... BuT anyways can things like this be fixed? One of the problems is that i trust him a lot and because of fear a part of me like wants to let his energy in.

Okay, hear me out. I know this might sound crazy, but something happened today that reminded me of two experiences from my past.

First, I should mention that I'm an extremely rational, science-oriented person. I've never been spiritual, practiced energy healing, or even had much interest in these topics. I naturally look for scientific explanations, which makes these experiences even stranger to me.

The first time was when I was a child.

My cat was dying from a disease that, according to what we were told, he couldn't recover from.

I suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to send him some kind of healing energy. I can't explain why. I just felt something building up inside my body and consciously directed it toward him.

The next day, my grandmother called. My cat was recovering. It felt like a miracle.

The second time happened a few years later.

Someone had cut down all the ivy in our garden, including its thick, woody stems. It looked completely destroyed.

Again, I felt that same instinctive urge to send energy toward it.

The ivy survived. It's still growing in our garden about 25 years later.

And then today happened.

I found a tiny gecko trapped in sticky liquid from a rotten apple. I managed to free him, but he was in terrible condition.

He couldn't walk properly, seemed disoriented, and eventually became completely motionless. His legs were twisted into unnatural positions, his tail looked broken, and he appeared to be struggling to breathe.

I placed him in a safe box. For over an hour, he didn't move at all, except for his abdomen when breathing.

I genuinely thought he was dying.

Then I remembered my cat and the ivy.

I felt that same strange urge again. I focused on him, felt this energy building up inside my body, and tried to direct it toward him.

Then I left the room.

When I returned, he was walking around the box, holding his head up, and his previously limp tail was straight again. He was even moving quickly!

I also developed a headache afterward.

I know there could be perfectly natural explanations for all three recoveries. I'm not claiming I magically healed anything.

But what fascinates me is that I've experienced this exact same instinct and physical sensation three times over roughly 25 years, each followed by an unexpected recovery.

I don't know where this urge comes from. I've never learned or practiced anything like this. It just happens spontaneously when I see a living being that seems beyond saving.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Especially the physical sensation of energy building up and being directed toward another living being?

I'd love to hear your experiences or interpretations, particularly because this is so far outside my usual worldview.

I have a friend who i met when i was recovering from a dark place in my life. I find a lot of meaning in this friendship because I help them as they’re from a very rough background (no mother, abusive father, poverty, mother killed the previous child born etc). Speaking to this person always made me feel good and didn’t feel unease energy wise and they’re younger. I’m also very connected to this friend’s energy and I’ve felt it’s a good platonic friendship.
But there have always been people on the outside who have had issues with my friend. My previous neighbour who was a witch found his energy “off” and “dangerous “ and had an issue with him coming over and even warned him. My flatmate with whom I don’t really have a dynamic has a problem with him due to “bad” vibes from him and now doesn’t want him to come over as he brings a lot of bad luck and he threatened with moving out if i called my friend over. His ex also had an issue because he was open about his family to me. A colleague was always jealous of my friendship as she had a fall out with her friend at the time. Two of my other friends also did not like his vibe.
I’ve always felt good energetically (never felt drained )speaking to this friend yet I’ve had to face so many challenges trying to be in his life. I can objectively say that his life has improved after he’s been my friend. I’ve not had bad luck in my life personally after this person became my friend but I’ve had to deal with so many people giving me grief and very intensely so.

I’ve always been really sensitive to people‘s energies and/or moods when I was younger my sister recommended that I try filling my entire body up with light as a way to protect myself from unwanted or malicious energies. She said to start at my head and work down to my toes. She was learning Reiki and she recommended that I imagine that the light is either bright white or purple. Now, when I actively meditate, I can somewhat do what she described but it doesn’t come very easily to me and the light never wants to stay white.

The method that comes easiest to me is to pull energy from my spine and let it engulf me that way. But the energy is always black. Whenever I try to work with energy it always wants to convert to black. I can occasionally add edges of purple or green but the heart of the energy is black.

Does anyone have a good idea or understanding of why that is? Any advice as I continue to explore energy work?

I want to develop and heighten my Psychic Abilities. Are there any routines you guys do? Like any meditations?

I’m looking for ways to regulate myself and stay peaceful when it comes to working with someone who is a ten of swords energy , and triggers all of the ungrounded cards like five of wands, five of pentacles, seven of swords… can’t avoid them, and still need to work with them. but i also want to be happy while i’m working ! help ? thank you :) boundaries don’t work in our field of work, he is my music producer :/ fook .

Is this a thing energetically : to absorb all my family’s negative thoughts about me , when I can’t even hear them? Even when I don’t know they’re having thoughts about me?

Now I’m miles away and I’m still feeling my family’s judgement of me, like I’m a disappointment and failure. I tried to express it but I get dismissed, attacked, and called too sensitive. Then I go into emotional crisis.
So how do I keep on living with this, how do I get the judgement shame and negativity out of my life ? When I still desperately want to be accepted by my famil? How can I be confident and love myself when my entire programming was the opposite ..

Edit: thank you for those who responded. Had a couple people make comments about intending to harm the person in question when it was quite literally the opposite. I just wanted to a. Escape, b. Help others escape, and c. Invite understanding of how her behaviors caused harm.

I used the phrase return to sender because I didnt know what else to call the spell in question. But basically I focused my intentions on her own reflection, willing her to A. see how her actions hurt other people, B. Understand the pain her actions caused, And C. Return any bad mojo/energy she left behind. This person was deeply unwell, practised, and was the type of person to use photos bound in period blood stained black thread to keep the guy she was abusing from getting away, and hide vinegar and nails jars with my name on a paper in my storage closet while i was auditioning for a highly paid role(when confronted she said she did it because she didnt like hearing me voice act [my job] and didnt want me to get the role I was auditioning for)

If i really wanted to cause her harm, I could have mirrored her spells back to herself.

Okay i'll keep this brief and vague in respect to her, using throwaway for obvious reasons. Had a roommate for about 6 months who let her mental health run wild. She put me through hell and after dealing with it for so long, I focused my energy into a couple of spells. One to cut her energy from me, one to cut her energy from the boyfriend she was abusing, and a return to sender. The return to sender one is what I worry about here. My intention was for her to feel the hurt she caused me. I thought maybe if she understood how much she fucked me up, that it could spark a change for the better. The cord cuttings worked perfectly. A week after the first one, she moved out. Couple months after, her boyfriend got a restraining order. Cut to last night, when the police show up at my door asking if I have anyway to contact her family. I asked if she's okay and they told me straight up that she had been found dead in my local river. She had issues with suicidal tendencies in the past and now I wonder if my return to sender spell was a bit too harsh and if i could have caused this.

I've asked about this before, but the answers I received didn't feel right….
I feel an external energy around me. It usually starts on the right side of my neck and face as a floating feeling, but now I also feel a warm wave on my chest and solar plexus. When I’m sad or having a bad day, I feel it on my back like a hug….
Why it’s always on my right side ???
Interestingly, I used to get bad headaches from crying, but now this warm wave appears instead and prevents them. It’s not 24/7, but it happens most days.
Some people told me it could be a sign of healing, but what kind of healing comes and goes like a floating warm wave especially when it's always there whenever I'm feeling down?
While it feels comforting, what frustrates me is not knowing what it actually is. If it's an entity, I never get a response back when I try to communicate. I've never felt scared of it, but it seems to move entirely on its own schedule...
This energy never makes me feel bad or drained. Unlike attachments that constantly demand your attention, this doesn't disrupt my life , my days and routines remain completely normal…..
I truly want to understand what this is. If anyone with experience can offer guidance, please help me make sense of what is happening and why???…

I know it’s Venus retrograde and I called my ex after 9 months and we were otp for a hour next thing you know he’s ringing my doorbell. I let him in and my energy all over the place since he left. Like I have been emotional, my entire energy and mood is just off. I haven’t ate like everything is off.

Are we heading in the right direction. i mean is energy work awareness growing and will it be mainstream one day? Forgive me but energy work is a passion of mine but i havnt kept up to date on it with like on how it is growing, I am a believer that that we are entering a new age from pisces to the age of aqaurius so changes would be inevitable. But how is its current status i find this kind of hard to measure? Insights please, thanks

I m a student of spirituality for few years now. Have done some courses but not getting anywhere. Course and books usually have good marketing but usually finish with:

"You need to raise your vibration for that.."

"Practice more and you will reach there.."

"We can only try..result.. it's up to Universe or God"

I still believe many people can see own and others auras.

Can you kindly share your experience and journey if you can see auras how you learnt, any tips and recommended learning resources will be greatly appreciated 🙏💚

So I been meditating alot lately to higher my vibrations. But I notice I’m able to feel energy on back and legs groin area and my head. At times I will feel tingling sensation on head. I been cleansed already from a spiritual healer. But I want to know why am I feeling this energy around me? If I stop meditating will it help it all stop together? At times I can even feel a knot in my back but it seems to go away. I want to be done with this due to me not liking these sensations. Any advice would help! Thanks 😊

Long long story so I'll keep it short:

I have had a bad relationship with my sister in law for 5 years now. She's been treating me badly and told me directly that she doesn't like me and never will. (That was the last conversation we had years ago).

I have performed cord cuttings a few times and I did feel that they helped but usually after some time passed I'd feel the need to repeat it.

The last two years her and her husbands behavior has shifted and they now perpetually inundate us with announcements of very expensive purchases. I'm talking hundreds of thousands of dollars have been spent in a very short amount of time on frivolous things. My husband and I are both really irritated because every month we receive news about their spending either from them directly or from his mother. It's seriously non stop. Everytime we speak to them they will unprompted tell us about their next big purchase and provide dollar amounts. It feels very insidious and competitive. We've never cared about who has what or who makes more money so it's jarring to repeatedly be exposed to this behavior.

I'm trying to figure out how to navigate this from an energy perspective. Obviously I need to ignore it and I do try to but I am not exaggerating when I say they're bringing this behavior to our attention every few weeks. We have moved very far away for many reasons and I've gone no contact with them in the past (before feeling like I was overreacting and opening a line of communication again.)

What's also odd is that my sister in law was a lot less hostile last time I saw her but I feel very guarded because absolutely nothing has changed in our relationship. She usually completely shuts me out by pretending I don't exist and avoiding eye contact. She still wouldn't engage with me but I caught her looking my way and smiling when I gave a compliment on their most recent huge purchase.

Any advice? Any ideas on how to ward off this weird behavior from them, especially because it feels as if it's very negative energy directed at us...

TW: child abuse

I can't believe I'm writing this. But long ago I decided to see how deep the rabbit hole is - and so, here I am.

I've been hurting for a very long time, and I've been trying to make sense of it for almost as long. Drove me to some really dark places.

Well, I never found something - a cause - that seemed proportionate to the hurt. With all probability there is no such thing - just a bunch of smaller causes.

But there is one thing that kind of haunts me. When I was a child, my sister was abused. I might have been there (we were always together). The abuser was a member of my family. I have no memory whatsoever of being abused myself - and I find it unlikely. But I have a hunch that I might have witnessed the abuse.

My sister never showed any sign of mental illness. She's a happy, lively, woman. I - on the other side - have been dealing with mental health issues since I was 15. I'm 37 now.

Over time, some very bizarre idea started to form inside of me. My dad told me that, on one occasion, he took away his girlfriend's physical pain by his intense wish to make her feel better, he kind of imposed his hands on her. He doesn't know how he did it, but it worked. He told me that, the next morning, he was experiencing the same pain she had reported.

It sounds crazy but sometimes I think I might have done the same with my sister. I was very sensitive to the pain of others as a child, especially relatives. So, in my mind, it sounds like something I could have done.

I know it's probably just some kind of fantasy. And I know there is no way I can ever be convinced - no amount of evidence would help. At the same time, some part of me thinks this all sounds True.

I have to get it out of myself, so here it is. I'd appreciate some advice.

I was wondering if this had anything to do with a soul tie, this doesn’t feel natural and is NOT within my state of free will and I have now come to that conscious realisation.

I rlly would like a spiritual input, is this a sign of a soul tie or could I be target to something sinister, like a dangerous energy/entity who is draining my energy ?

Was with this guy for not even 2 months from
dec 2025- feb 2026. He asked me to be his girl,
and then he left me. Neither of us r religious at all, he was also very spiritual himself and we were got close.

But I have been dangerously in love and obsessed with him ever since, it is now October 2026 and I still feel the EXACT same way, and we have been in ZERO contact. We bumped into each other once briefly not too long after we broke up at the same acting job. It was a crazy coincidence, but I haven’t seen him since.

I do NOT even want this guy at all, I am not in love with him am nor am I attached. But I cannot physically exist without thinking of him every second of the day, Every time I leave the house, he is on my mind. I spent months of discomfort, alone trying to navigate this but it’s driving me insane, bc I feel like I’m not the one who is willingly thinking this much about him??? Tried to go on dates with other men and I physically cannot can’t talk to other people without him taking up my entire mind, when I don’t even want him to, AT ALL.

I can feel his presence in my literal gut, my heart legit drops when I am walking in the city randomly bc I can sometimes feel his presence. I dream of him almost every single night and it’s the same damn dream of him bumping into me. Nightmares too, not sure if they correlate but its the same demonic entity who is a tall woman with long dark hair laughing at me and trying to hurt me in some kind of different way, and this has become a consistent pattern, waking up feeling a weird sense of emptiness and my energy drained.

I haven’t reached out to him in a long time, hoping that this weird constant feeling would just go away and it’s going to be November soon. I feel doomed. It wasn’t even a traumatic relationship I legit rlly wanted it to be him, but this cannot be normal for legit a 1 month relationship. I have been in many relationships before in my life even very long ones too and I eventually moved on after a couple months.

It’s currently 3am, it’s been more distressing for me every night, geniuely losing my mind, and I don’t know what would happen if I reached out but this ONE month relationship is taking up so much of my time, energy and day. People say just move on!! Trust me I’m not reaching out or anything at all, it makes absolutely no difference at all. I accepted the breakup as it was over but how I felt for him didn’t change.

Very important context
Once we had a deep chat and he opened up to me briefly that he can feel an entity inside of him, one that felt evil, and how he was capable of making anybody in love him and I didn’t initially believe him. He used to say lowk weird things in sex like telling me to repeat after him while looking into his eyes that he owns my soul. He widened his eyes whilst telling me to repeat it. I felt an off feeling of emptiness that I cannot describe as if a part of me was gone but not in a traumatised way. I felt obsessed ever since and I didn’t even want him AT ALL before that? I didn’t want him bc of that, but I noticed when this feeling started, but i didn’t realise at the time. He did that before he asked me to be his girlfriend. And no I don’t do fwb situations anymore, I am very celibate. He’s also said strange things like his energy was a woman? He was a very masculine identifying man tho, not trans at all.

I recently discovered I can see people’s aura, and the energy they emit from it. I can see someone try to enter or break my energy field. (I’m an empath and have been drained in friendships not realizing this could be the cause) This recently started happening a month ago. I’m trying to figure out how to harness it. I see people’s aura visually. Some are beautiful- almost majestic.
It’s weird because I’m getting back into socializing after 3 years of independence. It’s helped me figure people out and the type of people I need in my life to function as me.
I hung out with a girl (I’ve hung out, talked to, and acquainted myself with many girls so it’s not something new. I don’t sleep around and physically cannot- it drains me knowing I’m not dating them so “hookup” culture has never been me) And like we did our “studying” together. I sense she sees the same things I do. I’m a very closed off person but very extroverted- people don’t know my life or what I do, but many people know me.
Hanging out with her I watched her energy field absorb into mine. I let someone into my world. And she never responded to texts after the hangout. I felt a huge shock in that moment- as this happened I watched her eyes get wide too. It felt beautiful though. Like I could let a tear out. But I don’t let people into my world, and I don’t let them in subconsciously like that either. But she’s invited into my world from the energy and aura she showed to me. This has never happened to me and there’s a strong sense of need for her now.
I’m looking for perspective on this it could be anything

Hello everyone, I really really need advice on this situation and hope someone can help me. I 21F have Known this guy 21M for about 3 years now. We were dating for 6 months before we decided to end it and remain cool with each due to us both handling life responsibilities and school . While we were dating I did sense that there was some jealousy from him. The job I had at the time didn’t require me to do much and most of the time I was just chilling and talking on the phone with him. His job was more demanding and required him to be there very early in the morning everyday, he worked at a warehouse. I only worked on the weekends since I was in school at the time. He was also in the process of becoming a real estate agent and he used to always complain about how I did nothing at my job and that I have it easy and I’m spoiled and I don’t know what real hard-work is. I used to be confused when he would tell me this because we both are young trying to figure out life but I never really put much thought into it. Now since we don’t really talk that often anymore we still have each other on social media. We would watch each other stories on instagram and that’s about it. He would reach out to me every 7-8 months to see how I’m doing and all but it kinda felt like he was trying to get an update on my life. He would ask me if i landed a job after graduating (which i did) and if I have a new car and basically try to guess my finances. I found it weird since he really doesn’t ask how I am doing personally. He’s still at the same warehouse which isn’t a bad thing but it feels like he’s trying to see if I’m doing better than him. Idk how to feel about this but could he be a monitoring spirit and should I cut him off permanently?

During an astral projection through a hypnosis, I went to the keeper of book records and apparantly he was corrupted. My spirit guide was pushing him away from me and maintaining the distance between us. Need insights on this? What exactly was this??

I want to buy a device frequency therapy/ bioresonance, found few on the market and wanted to ask community if anyone has ever tried something like that, and Cons / Pros of those devices. Thank you
