I was walking along this pathway and noticed how it leads almost perfectly toward the front door of the house across the street.

It got me wondering whether this type of alignment has any significance in Feng Shui, spirituality, or other beliefs surrounding energy..

I know my energy and attention really locked into the door at the end of the path.. almost like being pulled towards it.

Would this be considered a concentration of energy directed toward the home? Could it have negative implications, or is there another interpretation?

I'm genuinely curious to hear different perspectives!

So I have this friend who I find myself having stressful thoughts about. Like thinking about her problems, worrying that she is upset with me (for not calling her back soon enough for example), or even reading positive spirituality things and thinking 'oh she would really benefit from this'.

For one I am concerned for having less stress and focusing my thoughts on happy things & improving myself. On the other hand, she is a loving friend, very thoughtful, always there to help when I need it, and really fun when she's in a good mood. Plus we have been friends more than a decade and just have that shared time and experiences.

She seems to always have a problem about something. Granted she has had a difficult life, lots of death closeby, family members with substance abuse, etc. She struggles with depression, anxiety, traumatic experiences. However she doesn't have a strong spiritual practice IMO which I encourage her in, but I can't imagine getting through life without some practice/studying a way. She's into some witchy things and I try to talk to her about my faith and just the importance of SOME practice. I think it would help so much.

Sometimes it feels like she wants more than I have to give... phone calls drag out, she's asking to get together during busy times, she's gotten upset if i don't call her back fast enough etc.

Other friends have cut her off and even warned me about her emotional outbursts. at this point I do enjoy the friendship overall, but I need to not be stressed thinking about her. How can I maintain this friendship but have stronger energetic boundaries?

It's unfortunate but sometimes her attitude is just off about things and I feel like I have to cleanse myself in a way after spending time with her.

Advice and experiences appreciated.

Lately, my life has felt like a chaotic whirlwind. Not even like anything particularly bad has happened, but just lots and lots of smaller stressful things that I’m trying to juggle at the same time.

The more stressed out I get and the more overwhelmed I feel, it’s like it snowballs. I start messing up at work, I drop and trip over things, and get extremely clumsy. I forget more and more and start to snap at people.
Then, as I get more stressed out about those things, more things start to go wrong around me that are costing me time, way too much money, and my sanity.

It makes sense to me that the negative energy is attracting or creating more of it. I would very much like to do some work to bring back some positivity into my life and help me get through these things now, followed by a surgery I just found out I also need, and then leading into the holiday season.

What kinds of things can I do to bring in and keep more positive energy, and get rid of some of the chaotic bad energy?

.

Whenever I am near someone, I sense their energy, and it affects me physically.

If the person is calm, I feel very calm, and my heart beats quite slowly.
If the person is high-strung or stressed, I experience heart palpitations, nausea, and a sense of being overwhelmed, it’s just too much, and it’s very unpleasant.
The same applies if they are feeling depressed, anxious, or otherwise distressed. Even if someone appears calm on the outside, or is pretending to be, I can still sense their internal energy.

So, how can I shield myself from other people’s energy? Dealing with negative energy is highly unpleasant and debilitating.

However, I am unable to visualize things. I’ve read suggestions about imagining a barrier or picturing myself inside a bubble, but I have aphantasia (a total or partial inability of the brain to voluntarily generate mental images).

Do you have any advice?

I’m visiting family (in laws) at the moment and sometimes when I get nervous I get what I like to call mental Tourette’s, where I think things I don’t normally think that don’t have the emotional charge behind it when people normally think / say those things out loud. It’s just a meaningless string of words for a couple seconds. When I do this too often my sister in law looks at me, but in that up in your energy in a knowing way / protecting the house space. Obviously I’m trying my best to control my thoughts but no one is perfect. I’m wondering if thought forms show up as colors or shapes in my aura, or if they move into the room. I can see auras and energy but not all the time. Just wondering if anyone here has insight to this

I don't know if I'm in the right subreddit with this.

I have to give a bit of background first.

About 10 years ago I had a boyfriend who lived with his family in an old hotel. While we were cuddling, we were both suddenly overcome by an extreme feeling at the same time. It felt as if something wanted to tear us apart. I thought, this must be what bloodlust feels like. It happened a few times that day and lasted a few seconds each time. The next day my ex noticed that I was making strange gestures with my hand. I was twisting my thumb and index finger in an odd way to pick at my fingernail.

It was a long-distance relationship. On the way home I kept seeing a mask before my eyes. A few years later I watched Totoro, and the mask was exactly like Kaonashi (No-Face), only completely dark. At the time I always thought that whatever was inside me now was a weeping mask. But I don't see any connection to the film, and I don't know if it's relevant.

Since my last visit to my ex, I lost all my strength, motivation and will to live, and I even ended up in a psychiatric hospital. It never got better after that. I was never my old self again. We broke up due to the distance. Not because there were any bad spirits between us.

Fast forward: in 2021 I suddenly had the feeling that something was growing inside me. It was learning inside me. I kept hearing voices that weren't mine, and I still do to this day. She is friendly. Whatever is learning inside me doesn't feed on me. It is with me. Or maybe I just don't notice that it feeds on me. By now it's more a part of me, a second me that I can talk to inside myself.
But I still never got my energy back. What was all of that, and how do I get my old life back?

​

I was doing a curse spell typa thing. Writing my intentions and SP's name on a piece of paper. And while I was folding it towards me,holding it felt warm or kinda burning sensation on my fingers. Why did it happen..it was nothing but a normal paper. But it had salt and dry rose petals

I have had this lingering feeling since I was young that the earth has been going towards a darker energy and it feels so much more present now as I am going older. It feels like a calling I have to help shift this energy from the darkness into a more positive radiant energy. The problem is I feel stuck.

When I do meditations I often can feel this fear that doesn’t feel like it belongs to myself but a fear of the power of this darkness that wants to consume humanity.
It’s hard to put into words what it feels like because it seems deeper than the human experience. It feels like it’s a two tiered issue of the unbalanced energy and then humanities issues( too many to list). I want to make a positive impact on humanity but also feel that in our lifetime we are going to see a more detrimental shift away from energy and connection and lean even more heavily on technology and data.

Has anyone else felt this shift or feel a calling to try to combat that? I don’t know where to begin with trying to use my energy in a way that is meaningful on this deeper level.

So I had an emotional morning this morning, worked through it, went to go take a drink from the water at my parents house, went to put my water on my counter to then pick it up and drink it. It was water from my parents place. I placed my hands on the container for filtered water that was filled with water from my parents house, in a similar way to the way I would put my hands on someone’s head for a blessing from [expunged religion I was raised in] that I used to do. I feel like gateways in my hands are opened though and I felt the energy of the water. Using my methods of energy work that I learned myself, I clapped my hands and felt the energy. I am going to look into it later.

I hope I am not breaking one of the rules about proselytizing by mentioning a religion I used to draw power from but don’t anymore, and as such, I will not name names unless a mod says it’s fine.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been practicing a unique form of energy clearing since I was a child. I taught it to myself intuitively, and I’m looking to connect with others who might experience something similar, as it’s quite specific.

Essentially, I can detect areas on my body where excess energy and stress have accumulated. I feel this as an intense, local itch. To discharge it, I use the fingertips of my left hand. I apply deep pressure and make circular motions on the spot. When the energy releases, there is a very distinct, audible "clicking" or "snapping" sound—almost like a fast rattle. It completely overrides the normal amount of knuckles/joints I have.

The moment the click happens, I experience an immediate sense of deep relaxation. It completely clears headaches and fatigue, giving me an immense boost of energy.

Over the years, I discovered that I can do this for others as well. They also hear the loud clicks on their body (often thinking it’s my knuckles cracking).

Here is the most fascinating part: The clicks and discharges also happen when I do not touch the skin at all. If I hover my left hand just above the itchy stress spot and make a "plucking" or gripping motion in the air, the loud clicks still happen. When this occurs, both I and the person I am treating feel a physical sensation—like a mild electric shock or static discharge jumping between my fingers and their body.

The hotspots are always very specific: the crown of the head, the point of the nose, around the eyebrows, the cheekbones, the edges of the ears, or just below the navel.

Does anyone else experience these audible clicks and physical electrical shocks during energy work, especially without direct physical touch? I would love to hear your insights, what you call this phenomenon, or if this aligns with specific modalities you practice!

Thank you!

My inner energy became weaker and weaker and i barely feel it now even tho i meditate and also use breathing exercises daily.

I'm a beginner and currently only practice the Qabalistic Cross.

I noticed a stubborn energy blockage in my left chest area. The vibrations always come back even tho i tried to cleanse that area and remove the negative energy.

In summer my inner energy was just fine, strong & flowing .

How to fix this problem?

I came across a video that said lots of items in a room are bad for feng shui and can hold negative energy and I wanna know if that’s actually true and I’m not talking about messy clutter, just a bunch of items organized nicely because I am a maximalist and I love lots of things on my desk & shelves, etc., You get the point

Even when you recognize that porn is harmful to you, the urges can still feel incredibly strong. I train hard 5 days a week, but physical discipline alone doesn’t always seem enough.

For those who approach this from a spiritual but not religious perspective, what actually helps you handle sexual urges without suppressing them?

How do you redirect that energy toward something meaningful creative or meditation I’m looking for practical ways to channel the energy rather than simply fighting it.

Hello !

I believe in energies and i was wondering why do i feel so drained in my « happy relationship ».
He’s not toxic, very understanding and such but i feel soooo tired after i’m at his appartment for a couple days (we don’t live together)
We have been together for 3 years and since we began dating his life, especially his career exploded in the good sense, he’s doing amazing he even started becoming famous.
Meanwhile my life went downhill, all my friends and my family say my energy and aura changed, that I became smaller in a sense. I’m stuck in a lot of situations in my life etc. I’m tired all the time.

Could he be an energy vampire ? He’s very nice tho so i really don’t understand.

when I meditate with amethyst I usually feel a sharp energy on my face, from my forehead going down to my cheeks. It's very different from other crystals. Does anyone think the same or am I just crazy?

I’ve recently noticed that my energy/power is very dormant. I don’t know what’s going on and I don’t know what I’m looking for but I keep getting this feeling like I need to do an uncrossing, so looking for something to maybe to reconnect back with my self and power any ideas?

Soo I feel like I tend to get angry and push away people despite therapy and stuff. I think people know me as someone with a strong sense of justice who says firmly when something isnt right but I feel like this makes people uneasy spending time with me...

Im pretty charismatic and have a lot of superficial friends, a lot of places I can go but its really easy for me to lose it... I also have many close friends but with them its even easier to fuck something up.

At this point after so many years of therapy, soulsearching, communicating and asking for feedback from friends... Now I just feel like I need a magical solution to help my communication, emotional intensity and how others perceive me xd

I feel treated really unfairly often and get tangled up in some dangerous situations where I have to solve moral dilemas... Im tired of it I just want to have fun with friends

Im pisces sun, saggitarious moon and scorpio ascendant

So im not really surprised that Im intense and appear threatening xddd

But I like my birthchart Im cool as heck

Hallo,

ich hatte vor vielen vielen Jahren einen (ich nenne es mal) "emphatischen Krieg" mit einem alten Bekannten gehabt.

Nun denn, der Frieden stellte sich irgendwann von alleine ein.

Dennoch hat es mich über die Jahre stark blockiert und ich bereue es jedesmal, es für mich nicht besser losgelassen zu haben..

Gibt es irgendeine Vorgehensweise, diese Erfahrung für sich selbst komplett zu löschen?

Einfach das Buch zu schließen und es metaphorisch zu verbrennen?

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 💖

I can heal everyone and everything. tell me how to proceed with the news part as I want to tell whole of the earth

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.

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.
