Books of Interest:

These are the books that I've found to be the best in their field on their particular subject. They are easy to read, motivating, clear and cogent.

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

A Psychic Bedside Reader by Wayne Martin. Tips, Techniques, Meditations, and Healings for the Novice and Experienced Reader and Healer; a how-to for energy management for people like us. It teaches many of the techniques the author learned in the clairvoyant training program.

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

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

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

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

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

Cyndi Lauper opened her farewell tour at Madison Square Garden with Energy Work

Last night Lauper asked her audience to imagine a soft pink light covering the whole dome in love and dissipating any hateful or negative energy. Of course, all musicians are doing energy work whether they realize it consciously or not. But doing it so thoughtfully and involving the audience in this way was really cool.

Is it possible for your higherself to be a female?

Good day everyone, peace and happiness to you. During my meditation I connected with what felt like my higher self except I was very surprised to find that it felt distinctly female and I could sense the face but it still felt like me... I don't know if that makes any sense? Your thoughts would be appreciated. The next thing I considered is that it may be my guardian angel. Since then I have felt a very very accute 'higher' female energy around me. Thank you

Purify Your Energy

With our lives, being busy and keeping adaptive to the constraints of modern society, we can forget to purify our energy. So in this post I want to highlight the importance of cleansing your aura, as well as how to go about purifying your own energy to protect yourself short and long term.

Do This Everyday (3-4 times)

When you wake up and say your daily mantras, prayers or routines, follow these steps. Visualise light coming and taking over your body. Repeat to yourself mentally or verbally, “ my energy is mine and cleansed from negativity”. Once you say this over and over 3-4 times, you will find a great increase in personal power. Cleanliness, and you will be protected against energy stealers.

Sending Negative Energy

Hi, Im self practicing Energy work Shamanic and I only want to work with Nature and Healing Angels at this moment.

Releasing the Dense, negative energy has been challenging for me. Sending the energy to the Sun involves me using my 3rd eye and energy get trapped. Is there another natural Shamanic way I can send Energy without holding any? Thanks!

Pendulum making me dizzy

Recently discovered i can use a pendulum to connect to not only myself but to others also. As I’ve continued working this past week asking questions about a couple ppl I am helping I have begun to feel dizzy. Today as I got a yes answer about someone else’s health I felt like my head was mirroring the same movement as the pendulum. My head wasn’t moving but the sensation was there. This disturbed me. I asked (the universe) if doing this work would harm me and the answer was no. I asked if it would affect me and the answer was yes. Is there a way to balance the energies? I’m grounding at the moment and feeling a little better. I wasn’t when I was doing the work today. New to this. Taking a break from the work for today. Any advice or experience welcome. Thank you.

I reignited my connection with myself. Please send me encouragement to keep going :)

I’m feeling proud of myself. I processed some difficult stuck emotions after what feels like years of stagnancy. I have been in an art, spiritual and mental endeavor to connect with myself.

I found in my energy system blockages in my root and throat chakra. And I feel like I’m beginning to feel harmony in myself.

I asserted my own creative life force energy and affirmed my sovereignty. I had forgotten how easy connection with myself should be.

I was so caught up in mental chatter over the body too.

I’ve had a breakthrough. And I’m prepared for future lows, it’s all cyclical.

Just wanted to share with you lovely lot. This sub has helped me understand my energy better

How to stop black magic?

I found out my mom has been performing work on me possibly since I was a child. I found out she is possibly jealous of me for some reason and secretly wishes me bad luck because she is miserable. She abused me when I was younger and as a result I have been experiencing mental health problems.

I have healed a lot but I still seem to face blocks in my abundance. It’s like I am living on a barren land, nothing grows in my life. Relationships, jobs, skills, my money… things never progress past a certain point and I’m always dragged back to square one.

It’s like bad things always seem to happen or when I try to do good things for myself or try to stay positive and grateful, I keep getting self sabotaging thoughts and behaviors.

Anyone know what I can do to make this stop ? Thanks

Edit: I want to share that I have cut her out of my life 3 years ago so we are completely no contact

Has anyone productively worked with kriyas?

I started getting kriyas four years ago when I began doing 45 minutes meditations daily. Since then, I have them almost every meditation and other times when I deeply relax (although rarely during sleep). For the first two years, they really thrashed my body, but have gradually become primarily focalization’s. When they happen, it feels like energy has shifted - sometimes unlocking something, but more often it feels like energy hitting up against a dead end. I‘ve tried letting them guide my experience and, during other periods, letting them pass with as little attention as possible. Neither path seemed more helpful.

I have a lot of chronic muscle tension issues. Coincident with having kriyas, my muscle tension in some areas of my body has released. I’m convinced they are related. I‘d love to hear insights from others with kriya experience.

Difficulty with Energy practices

This is going to be long and I'm sorry in advance but I will try my best to summarise and get to the point.

So I've been consciously "spiritual" for about 5 or 6 years now and in this time, I've done my fair share of energy research and practice (well attempts at practice). This has led me to have a really good understanding of energies, what different energies are and how they feel, how they affect me, etc. Recently however, I have realised that as much as I may understand them, I have no idea how to control or "manipulate" them. When doing yoga for example, if my yoga is centered around my sacral chakra, i can feel the energy built up there afterwards, i just have no idea how to send it to other areas of my life or body that may need it. This has obviously led to difficulties with other practices such as astral projection and certain energy centred meditations. I also must disclose that I do have a fair amount of general anxiety so it often leads me to question and doubt myself which could play a big-ish role in all of this.

So, long story short, can anyone perhaps offer some advice and/or resources about any of the above issues? (aside from the anxiety, I can deal with that lol)

I Need Help! I Feel Like I Am Losing It!

I drive my mom to her ketamine therapy appointments, she gone about 2x a week for the past 3 weeks.

I met her spiritual guide therapist at her first appointment, idk what it was about him but I instantly felt this insane magnetic pull towards him. An energetic pull I have NEVER felt towards anyone, 100x over.

I talked to him the first time for a few minutes, felt two things…

  1. He has beautiful genuine energy that you can just feel how pure his heart & intentions are.

  2. I felt like he could see & feel everything about me, my past, my present & my future. See ME all of me in less than a second. Feels like being naked having to run a mile alone while 100,000 people watch, so vulnerable.

Every time I have seen him since I have felt the exact same thing. I am a sapiosexual so I never get butterflies over an attractive human or feel anything without talking to someone first. I am also not a flirt I’m very awkward.

My mom ended up telling me he has a partner. Initially, I thought the magnetic pull would immediately drop, I am in no way attracted to people in relationships. (Helps being sapiosexual 🤣)

However, I still can’t stop thinking about him. I have been working on connecting within myself on why I am so drawn to this stranger, what are my intentions, what is missing in my life that my subconscious thinks he could fulfill? Is it sexual, spiritual, etc?

Today I talked to him for a little bit after my mom’s session about medicine journeys, he mentioned he does private guided trips and I should do one with him.

Can I have this strong of a pull to someone without it being sexual or intimate? Could the universe have brought us together for spirituality & friendship?

I can’t get him out of my head since the day I have met him, it’s seriously pathetic because I am a grown ass woman. I have tried everything to connect with myself for the answer on my intentions, I can’t find it. Which makes me think my intentions are not in a good place knowing he has a partner and there is no way it would be appropriate to do a private medicine journey.

❤️❤️❤️

Humming

I went astral projecting three times last night. All three times I got back to my body. My body was humming. I am fighting a case of the flu and I think my body was working on healing itself while I was gone. I have never seen that before.

Anyone else using humming to raise their vibration. I know Ohm chanting is kind of what this is but I was just regular humming at the same tone. I tried to continue it when I got back in my body but my lungs weren't feeling it. Chest is pretty congested.

Healing is sharing universal love/ energy/lifeforce

I was performing reiki on my wife and had the urge to add my Love to the energy flow. Does this dilute it, amplify it, or just ride along with the energy? It didn’t change the sensation and feedback I feel when doing reiki. I am new at this so my sensitivity is still developing and growing. I started with some innate ability before attainment

Help me direct this energy?

People have always told me that I "shine". That's the word they use, one woman even said sparkle. Strangers, clients, family, friends etc. The attention I received from men as a younger woman was too intense. Most of the time I hid as much of myself as I could because the attention became dangerous. Now at 50 I don't have to worry about that. I still hear it from strangers occasionally and if I open myself I can attract a crowd/draw people in. I'm extremely aware of other people's energy and it can affect me if I'm not careful and I withdraw or I can feed off it. Strangers tell me deeply personal things.

I still don't know what to do with all this because I've never wanted to do anything with it except hide it or use it in sales/work. I generally still dress down or sloppy 90% of the time.

So, what does it mean to "shine"? What is it? I had my cards read the other day and she looked at me and said 'you just shine' and I decided I have to get to the bottom of this. How can I use it to help people? How can I use it to get what I need/want without hurting people?

What would you say are major differences between psychic work and remote viewing?

They are very similar, it seems there are more pathways in psychic work than there are in remote viewing. Remote viewing seems more direct and more of a modern system. What do you think?

Authentic and sincere intention for developing my energy work

I will use my awareness of subtle energies to contribute to a world that I want to live in. As I am more in tune and mindful, and put in the work, change will occur.

Prana, chi, qui, spirit are powerful.

Just putting this out into the ether tysm!

I cant seem to heal much in self healing

I have been doing self reiki since March of this year, and up until recently, twice a day. I pray first even though i dont have a religion and im open to it. I ask for guidance, nothing happens. I do the hand positions. I have worked for months hoping my nonstop migraines would heal and nothing. I also have gut problems and have noticed very little in it as well.

I have turned my life upside down in the dietary sense, and cant afford a bunch of supplements, so I was hoping healing work would help but I dont understand. im doing my best physically to fix it even though its wearing me out but i dont understand what the purpose is of energy healing if it wont work on a deeper level. I am not stopping anything from coming up. I try not to repress anything, and just try to be on touch with my feelings. i hear these stories all the time of healing for lesser things and its just sad I have to suffer when I am trying so hard.

I have also followed articles from Reiki healers online to use symbols directly and that actually caused the pain to get worse. I cant even use it if i have a migraine, it never helps.

How long should I keep doing the chakra work before I see results? Thank you in advance.

People seem to be obsessed with energy harvesting from me.

Hey guys! Sorry if this post does not belong here, but I figured it might be a spot I can pick some brains.

I'm finding that no matter where I go, no matter how far away I go, or where I am, people seem to gravitate towards me BUT they end up having ill intentions. They try to get close to me to hurt me, and to take from me. I know this because I do open my hearts out of curiousity. I love meeting new people and sharing my vibrant personality. I'm highly energetic and it doesn't seem to stop sometimes 😅

I just hate that no matter where I go, people try to set me up, plot on me to take from me. Why? I never took from anyone growing up, I never wished someone did not have something. I never wanted for bad things to happen to someone out of my own jealousy, so why do you think this keeps happening to me? Did I do something wrong? I'm never seeking to destroy.

I can get to know someone for like 2 weeks and then BOOM they are plotting on me and God forbid I do not give them attention, they start doing these crazy tactics to force their way into my energy field and I think this is just nuts! I'm not going towards anyone who I am aware has bad intentions towards me and please don't ask me to just give them a chance because I have given many peopleb MANY chances to be normal with me yet they still find some toxic way to get to me.

I just don't know how else yo explain this. I feel bad. I hate that I can't just have many peace where ever I got because people seem to obsess over MY attention on particular and I'm tired of it. I was diagnosed with PTSD when I was 16, but I'm now 27 and have worked very hard to heal parts of my mind that thinks everyone wants to hurt me. I'm not crazy when I say people are after me. But if I explain to someone, they are just going to think im crazy... I feel like people are driving me to have a bad reaction, so I act out of character so THEY feel justified. They provoke me non-stop and I'm just TRYING to keep the peace in my mind.

I consider this some form of energy manipulation. People are obsessing over my energy and they want to do anything possible to steal it and harvest from it. Leaving me feeling like I'm the bad guy for just exisiting. I have a purpose here on earth! Why do these people want to see me down so bad...

I don't think about suicide anymore, but damn it feels so fucking lonely when so many people attack you! It feels so bad when strangers treat you like shit over something someone else said about you... Please tell me I'm not crazy.

Energy center between heart and solar plexus?

Is there an energy point between the heart and solar plexus that has its own unique energetic meaning?

I have met someone, and we've had several energetic exchanges. Sometimes sacral. Sometimes heart. Sometimes solar plexus.

But lately, a new point has been activating that I've never felt before. It's at the base of my sternum, right before we get to the squishy part of the abdomen.

I know some Chakra maps indicate that's the solar plexus, but I've never felt my solar plexus activate there. It has always activated a few inches below that point. And my heart activates several inches above that point.

It also has a different feeling when this spot activates. It doesn't feel like heart or solar plexus.

Any thoughts on what it may be?

Why is the energy so weird lately?

Something in the air just feels ... bizarre. I'm in FL by the way ... Milton got a lot of people BAD and although other areas were worse I'm closer than ever before to the areas which had some significant devastation. Lately, though I feel dissociated or something and very disconnected, my spatial awareness is distorted, I guess I kind of feel like I'm floating. The only other times I felt like this I was on shrooms, it's kind of like I'm on some sort of drug , WITHOUT actually being on a drug. This is occurring naturally, while I'm completely sober. It feels very strange. Anyone else who can relate or has any idea of what's going on...? I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the hurricane or what. Any ideas ... ?

What are your daily practices to strengthen energy connection?

Getting back into energy manipulation and biofield perception and I've been trying to find daily practices or keeping that strong. But it is just energy. So either way, any form of practice that involves energy to help keep that connection strong would be very much appreciated!

I want to explore new methods of energy healing!

Hi, I'm looking for a new way to practice energy healing on myself (and maybe my partner in the future).

I know these things take time to learn, and I want something I can really get into! I've practiced yoga and reiki for a couple of years, and recently started into qigong.

What's your favorite method to balance, clear or over all improve your energy? Thanks for reading!

Energy Sensing, Clairsentience, Aura Sensing, Biofield Perception. Practitioners? Let's Talk!

Hello everyone!! From being tested as a child to finding knowledge on your abilities as you got older, I would like to talk biofield perception with you and your experiences and how you practice it! Or if you've just experienced it in the past and you're not a practitioner, I would like to hear more!

I was tested on as a child for a psychic abilities from several communities to even my own home and it wasn't always on purpose. I went to a martial arts class when I was very young. It was the very first class, And the martial arts instructor didn't know how parents in the room and he practically got us to try to levitate across the room. And long story short, judging by his training volunteers and him, they were dead serious. But I told my mom about this a few years later. She told me that they were probably trying to see our aura or something, but it was clear we were being tested.

And then not long after. My mom got curious and I was practically a lab rat. Don't worry it was all fun! I just was not aware of what I was being tested for or that I was even being tested. But with this purposeful testing I was being trained for remote viewing. I think almost everybody who starts out when being tested by another for this, starts out with remote viewing of some sort. In the Stargate project they had this practice with symbols and that is exactly the same thing but I was tested with. Eventually I was being tested on if I could feel the energy when someone was doing energy healing on me. And then I was tested and trained to do the same to another at the age of seven.

To speed up the story, I practically had a lot of experience with energy and I saw it as a improvement for my well-being instead of being a lab rat thankfully. It's only in my later years that I really thought about what happened. Anyways, eventually I was trained to sense other beings around corners of hallways and what plants felt like and so forth with my eyes closed, not focusing on my other senses and so on. I had no clue that it was called biofield perception or what I was doing. I just knew that it was sensing energy and I had this mental map in my mind. Almost like if you watch the BBC show Sherlock, when he has the map in his mind palace and is calculating routes and so on. Obviously when training and testing stopped I practically stopped with that all together besides the fact that I had knowledge for energy healing now.

I'm only now starting to get back into it and I wanted to see other people's experiences because I know there's a subreddit for remote viewing and it's very very helpful for other people to talk to one another. But when you look for aura sensing, energy sensing clairsentience, Biofield perception, etc. there's not a lot of practitioners who have done what I have done with widening your energy field to sense things around you and use it more for a "security" kind of thing rather than energy healing and just connecting with people on a level.

So practically. I was just curious if anybody actually practices and tries to strengthen that energy control and really practices sensing around you or really feeling that electromagnetic field, or even practicing with others! I've trained a lot in energy manipulation before, but I really am struggling finding what I've trained in, among others experiences.

I'm aware everyone's experience is very different, and I am very aware that majority of the people around me in my life have never been tested like I have been as a child, but these practices that I am almost forgetting completely really helped me to be where I was a few years ago and I would like it to be reminded of what I can do to get back to where I was, and connect with people with similar experiences. I've already found very different articles and subjects that I've never done before, but at least it's something new that I could try.

Thanks for taking the time to read, I'm so sorry if I bore you 😅. And thanks so much for your responses🤲 blessings✨☺️

Releasing the past

Could anyone recommend some practices to self-help releasing the past. I mean something to help me to make some past events less disruptive, to calm the mind from rumination and automatic thoughts, anything that would help to be more in the moment, more in peace with the self. Maybe some energy balancing to relax the mind and move on? Any ideas would be a big help. Thanks.

Believing your intuition and energy

Hey everyone,

I am relatively new to energy work but my guides have told me that I have good intuition. It seems like my intuition is backwards though. Like, people I think I will like end up not being very kind and people I don't like at first end up being best friends. It's pretty accurate...backwards. you'd think I'd have learned that by now

Anyway I have been working on connecting with nature, trying to communicate with animals and the trees, my plants etc. I meditate, and I get words and thoughts. But I do doubt whether the words and thoughts are actually from the entities I'm trying to communicate with, or my own ego. Why does my intuition confuse me so much? Does anyone have advice?

Thank you ❤️

Had a dream where I was told to do grid work, something I hadn’t heard of till now, but I think I know what I need to do. Need insight!

This was very odd but the first time in a while I had a dream so visceral and direct, but I want insight on understanding it.

A couple nights before bed, I posted a TikTok video that was a meme for a book series. I dreamt I was getting dozens of comments telling me to focus on the grid, things like: “girl, THE GRID”; “follow the grid”; “pay attention to the grid”; and other iterations. I felt the word “grid” was literally being shouted at me and I could hear it, and even now I still feel there is something at me telling me to do grid work.

Here’s the thing: while I’m a Usui Reiki II practitioner and have been a practicing witch many years, this is a new practice I’m not familiar with. It’s as if someone is telling me this from beyond while the veil is thinning.

I have time off work the next couple weeks and planning to already do something for Samhain, so I can’t shake the feeling I’m being told to do grid work on this day. Fortunately I have lots of clear quartz as well.

I would like insight from anyone who practices about it, or possibly point me in a right direction of why I’m being called to this. What techniques do you do, how do you practice, what’s your meditation technique during grid work? Many thanks in advance!

What does being an empath feel like?

After I talked to a very stressed co-worker I felt like I was covered in a layer of dust. Is this what others experience too?

Also, sometimes I’ll have feelings for no reason, like someone is “pulling” me towards them.
