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.

hey everyone, just wanted to share something interesting that’s happened since working with my reiki practitioner. we’ve been doing regular sessions, and recently, we started focusing on my higher chakras, especially my third eye. during one session, I felt this weird but kind of relaxing tingling around my forehead, and after that, things started shifting a bit.
now, every so often, I’ll catch this faint glow around people or objects, almost like a subtle aura. it’s not super vivid or anything, but enough that I notice it if I’m calm and paying attention. it’s made me feel more aware of the energy around me, which is honestly pretty cool. I can even see them from people's pictures.
not sure if anyone else has had this happen with reiki, but if you’re into energy work or curious about opening up your intuition, it might be worth trying!
I just saw comment on my ex's post of her new girlfriend..he was my karmic partner and he cheated on me in every time in every possible way...but tbh the connection with him is kinda a lil to strong to let it go. I've been trying so hard but whenever, even when I accidentally hear his name, my heart start to feel heavy and I start to get those flashback and start crying...
I'm grateful for everything and I had forgive him for everything... I wanna move on from him cuz ik that we're not meant to be together neither he do give a fuck bout' me anymore he just used to act as if he really do.... What do I do now I'm feeling so miserable and I'm missing him so fuckin bad.. I won't ever call him cuz he already has new girlfriend...
I really love him ( still ). What do I do now !!
I visited a psychic who reads auras but couldn’t for me because apparently my energy levels were so low. They mentioned seeing me as if I had a heavy blanket on myself or a gray tone rather than having a specific color. They also did a palm reading and tarot card reading and and said I’ve given my energy away too much and also taken on the energy of others, growing bigger and bigger like a bubble, and needs drainage. I was recommended to meditate and have crystals with me at all times to protect my energy, and focus on healing myself and not others.
I was hoping to gain more insight on energy work and meditation, but has anyone seen or heard of any cases like this?
I was minding my own business a few days ago when I started getting super depressed for no reason. I didn't fall for and it checked the energy around me. Turns out there was this super dense depression energy around me. I cleared a lot of it and started feeling less depressed.
So it seems like negative entities in the astral can actually move large amounts of negative energy into an area to try to curse and negatively effect that area. If there is a lot of positive energy in that area like say an area with nature or a beach it will neutralize most or all of the negative energy. If there isn't that much positive energy there The place just gets worse energetically.
This depression energy was pretty bad too. It was so heavy and dense I felt like it was crushing me. Fortunately I cleared a lot of it. So I'm not depressed anymore. But it just goes to show you what they can do. They wanted to make me depressed so they could feed off my energy. That isn't going to happen.
So where do they get this energy. I would say most of it comes from energy they harvest from us. What they don't feed off of they recycle it to use against us. Some of it could also be from people in other matrixes that they have taken over. And they brought the energy here.
I think they also build up their energy by feeding off of our energy. And then use that energy to hit a local area or the entire planet with an energetic attack. And there you go super bad energy.
The way I see it places can become cursed in two ways. A lot of negative things happening there causing people there to generate a lot of negative energy. Cursing the area. Or they move a lot of negative energy into an area making it even worse. Either way they can move a lot of negative energy. And it can negatively effect a large area.
To remove the effects of negative energy go out in nature (because nature's energy is positive and they don't seem to be able to change that.), go to a beach, burn some sage if it's not too bad. Get as much sunlight as you can coming into your house (because sunlight slowly neutralizes negative energy). You get the point. The usual methods of neutralizing negative energy. So I hope you found this interesting. Let me know what you think in the comments.
This seems to have been a pattern with me and still is. Not with everyone but with most people.
I have been told I have a nourishing and a calm presence, someone they feel safe with, open up to easily, and find me interesting too when people going through a rough time already come into my life.
These people usually tend to initiate friendship/connection with me themselves while I'm in a neutral and a lightly curiously space yet with them. And later I start to connect too from my end with them, cherish them -- their presence, who they are, our friendship -- the more I know them and spend time with them.
But when they tend to do better emotionally, mentally, or with respect to their life situation they start to slowly detatch from me or not want to hang out as much with me like they used to before -- I am obviously glad when things get better for them, but I also start feeling a little lonely and sad when this happens; sometimes wondee if its all I am good for or/and is my purpose in their life for however long.
Why does this happen? Is their something in my energy pattern or something of the sort that causes this? How do I resolve this?
Any insight, guidance would be appreciated.
How anyone else here also dealt with this or something similar?
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
EDIT 1: I want to also mention that when I try to open up to them about myself more they tend to not be so interested.
Also going to ask my therapist about this pattern in my next session.

EDIT 3: I'll slowly reply to all the comments, thank you again
Hi guys!! Felt the impulse to reach out to the lovely energy healing Reddit fam ❤️ so my bf can enter into a very intuitive state and get direct guidance from (his) source anytime he chooses. (Well, we all have this ability to connect to our source technically but he’s definitely able to tap into it more frequently! 🤣)
If anyone has any questions for source, feel free to comment! 😊❤️ Safe space ofc, so no judgment or wrong questions!
EDIT: Hey everyone!!! We are still doing questions and very much enjoy doing them! :) We’re out today as it’s my birthday but we shall get back to all of you later tonight (EST) ❤️❤️
Everytime I get to point where I feel like body and energy is going to align , The Ego keeps tricking me with the idea that once I do get aligned (or whatever it would be to release all the blocks in energy paths) that it would be game over for me .
Anyone have any tips on what could help?
Hello,
I wanted to ask for a simple ritual or steps on how to do a candle spell. I am a beginner and only have a lot of beeswax candles. I'd like to make a spell for cleansing my house, attracting loving energy, or anything else you might suggest. If possible, could you also recommend any books for this?
i wanted to share something that’s had such a big impact on my life, my relationship, and even my connection with myself. for a while, i’d felt this block in my intimacy and really struggled with being fully present, which of course spilled over into my relationship with my boyfriend. we love each other, but there was this underlying tension that neither of us knew how to fix.
after some searching, i found a tantra priestess who specializes in sacral healing and helping people reconnect with their bodies. i’d heard amazing things about tantra before but never thought it’d be something i’d actually try. working with her turned out to be such a healing experience. she guided me through practices that focused on connecting with my sacral energy—stuff like breathwork, guided meditation, and different exercises to release any blockages.
over time, i started noticing subtle but powerful shifts. i felt lighter, more open, and more comfortable with my own body. orgasms that once felt out of reach or hard to fully experience started coming more naturally. it’s like that part of me that had been “asleep” woke up, and it’s made such a difference, not just physically but emotionally.
my boyfriend and i have also felt the change—there’s more trust, openness, and honesty between us. working on my sacral energy through tantra helped me let go of old patterns and insecurities, and our connection has deepened in ways i didn’t think were possible. if anyone else is feeling a similar block, i highly recommend exploring this kind of healing work. has anyone else tried working with a tantra practitioner or focused on sacral healing? would love to hear about your experiences!
I'm new How do I know if someone is actually talking about me or it's just me having paranoia?
Hi everyone. I have been meaning to post (as per the request of my guides). As of late, I have been having very strange experiences.
I found myself in the shadow realm a few years ago. Whilst there, my mind was able to decipher light from dark. but my body was in a state of comatose. I knew what was going on around me but unable to really change anything. It's as if my body was in autopilot but I had no access to the settings. There were A LOT of energies feeding off of me during this time.
My awakening was rather surreal but it worked and I fully came back into myself but I had to heal and remove these energies. I do feel like I overcame a zombie attack and survived! (yays!) . My bloodline is full of muck and it makes sense as to why I incarnated into this. I have been told I am a healer and I just wanted to run a few things passed you guys to know if its normal
Everytime I heal/clear energies I sneeze, burp, wretch until I puke, yawn, cough, fart. It's frigging a lot. My guides have told me that I knew what I was getting into when I came down here and I am a powerful healer and I believe them but DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN it's exhausting. There is soo much more to my story which I'm happy to share but didn't want to TMI this post.
Does anyone else experience this? Any advice would be great?
A person who seems to have mostly positive intentions toward me (such as being uplifting, loving, etc) but a lot of personal trauma, connection to lower realms energetically and emotionally with likely entity attachments, and some dubious and selfish unconscious motivations toward me (such as being possessive) says that he regularly holds me in a space of prayer and affirmation, wishing for my healing.
I believe he is likely connected to some imposter beings as he doesn't seem to have a high degree of spiritual discernment. As in, the beings he prays to are likely "false light" beings.
So my question is if his prayers for me, even if with primarily good intentions, might have a net negative/damaging effect on me because of his lower frequency states and lack of awareness? I'm not sure if it's a coincidence or not but it feels like the opposite of the things he supposedly wishes for me come true more often than what he says he intends for me. I'm trying not to be paranoid and yet the situation makes me feel uncomfortable, and I'm trying to see if I have reasonable grounds to feel this way besides my own fear.
A friend asked me about this “renowned energy master”, as there’s very little information available about him. If anyone has had direct experience working with him, please share.
I will preface what I'm going to share with you guys that in the last 4 years of my life I dived deep into kundalini, prana, The Law of One, transcending physical matter, having many experiences that not many would believe or relate to. For more context, I am also an empath.
So, I was on my 9 AM break at work and I lay down on the bench to rest a bit. I was lying on my back with my eyes closed. I thought that in that room it was just me and this coworker of mine who was on another bench behind me, about 3 meters away. We were in the locker room, and I had this blonde girl on my mind without actually thinking about anything specific or intentionally focusing on anything, you know? No desires, just awareness. And I wasn’t thinking about anything in particular.
I had been practicing all day trying to transcend the mind, without any desire, expectation, anticipation, or assumptions—just letting things flow like water, accepting everything as it is. After about 3-4 minutes of staying there and sinking deeper into that state, I became aware of a second breath in my body. I had two breaths that were clearly and distinctly separate. My breath was in front, where each of us feels it, but there was another one, physically behind it, somehow on my spine. I was breathing slowly, as I normally do. The other breath was exactly like mine, and I intuitively knew that it wasn’t mine.
And for a minute, the two breaths coexisted, although they weren’t simultaneous. Mine would breathe in-out, and then the other would breathe in-out just as strongly, as if responding to mine, Like a dance. Same intensity. Same rhythm, but with different timing. As if they were communicating with each other.
At that moment, I still had the image of that girl in my mind, but I didn’t realize what was happening yet. It didn’t shock me because I had experienced similar things before that I couldn’t explain, so I continued with the “dance.” I was aware that it was someone else's breath, and the only person around me that I was aware of was this coworker. I thought about him and I immediately heard him take a deep, fast breath through his nose, like everyone does often, which made me realize that it wasn’t his. And it kept going. These two breaths still continued coexisting after I realized it wasn’t him.
The thought came to me that it was the girl’s breath, but I didn’t pay much attention to it. Then this coworker came over to show me a video on tt. I sat up, and I saw the girl on a bench about 7-8 meters away from mine. And at that moment, the second breath stopped. The thing is she knew I was there because, being lying on the bench at that angle, she could only see my legs, but I didn’t know she was there. She wasn't in my field of view but I was in hers.
It’s indescribable. I don’t know how to explain it or what purpose this kind of ability would have or where it comes from. The idea is that we were connected, and I would have liked to ask her if she had the same experience, but I didn’t want to seem crazy. The thing is, I haven’t interacted much with her because she’s the girlfriend of someone else from there, but I feel like we are very connected on many levels. We always have intense eye contact. And we always sync up. Every time I go to the workshop to grab something, she passes by there. Every day for the past three weeks since I’ve been at this job.
But what really matters is this deep connection where two beings become one somehow. It’s magical. And mysterious. I’ve searched the internet for similar experiences, but I haven’t found anything like it.
I have always been sensible to these more subtle energy layers in the atmosphere, somehow translating them automatically. Always been aware of the communication between bodies, but never so intense and close.
Is it possible that it was only me feeling her's breathing, picking up on her energy, without her being aware of the connection? Could it also be that we were on the same exact frequency at that moment and we both experienced the same thing? I would appreciate any opinion, belief or similar experiences, just share your thoughts below.
Thanks for being! Much love!
I'm not sure if I am doing it wrong or I need to curb my expectations.
I've been attempting energy manipulation within myself for a few years now very on and off. I find myself not continuing due to lack of motivation.
I can visualize the energy within myself and when I focus hard within my hands or other location. I get slight sensations of hot or cold and maybe even electric buzzing. But it's always so faint and I can never move it from location to location within myself.
I've experienced unplanned out of body experiences. In those moments the energy I feel is like a raging torrent. I'm expecting something close to this?!?!?
I have robert Bruce's book energy work. And I can visualize what is needed but why 0 sensation? I feel like I'm doing something wrong and it makes keeping up with this hard.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thx, V
Do celebrities and other people in the public eye change their names to keep everyone’s energy from affecting them directly? Like a shield?
Every year starting around this time I get more depressed and self-sabotage. It feels like an unconscious "death drive" . I am a scorpio.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice for how to channel this energy in a more positive way?
Anyone have any luck with creating an energetic structure of multiple interlocking parts that feed into each other? (i.e. multiple energy centers that all have a specific function and where energy flows through them, sort of like the human energy body)
Here's an example of what I'm talking about:
Node 1.1: An energy pump that directs energy from the ground up into itself
Node 2.1: An energy filtration unit that "de-programs" and cleans the energy so it can be worked with effectively and so there's minimal energy interference.
Node 2.2: Above the energy filtration unit, is a big storage of clean energy. These are are then re-directed to the three adjacent nodes to power them.
Node 2.2 is connected to all three other nodes through energy chords.
Node 3.1: The programming unit. This is where the energy is imbued with a singular intention. Different intentions and abilities might require separate units. I want to make it so each unit does one thing and one thing only. This energy is released into the atmosphere to let it do its work.
Hi everyone, I had extremely vivid dream last night which almost felt like it wasn't a dream and need your help to try to understand symbolism. So my teeth were falling out. And I remember that when I counted it was 12 of them. I felt super uncomfortable and couldn't believe that this was happening. All night I was walking around in my dreams holding them in my hand. So, anyone knows the hidden meaning?
CORRECTION: "and not 10"
etc...
This is a serious question. I'm exploring energy work and reading some books as well, and I'm looking to avoid placebo effect.
as I look to improve my welfare or heal, I understand that energy work can apply an intervention based on this structure to help my body to heal.
What I'm having difficulty with is identifying whether that structure is valid.
I understand and accept that I have to keep an open mind, and if I'm close-minded none of this will work. but I'm looking for a bridge somehow to get me from pure placebo to something real.
As an example, as I encounter chakra work, should I be able to feel that there are seven centers? Will my body communicate that there's nine or 12? perhaps less? maybe there's five? The point here is that it's all so heady and I don't know how to move forward easily with just a wait and see attitude.
If I feel tingling, for example, will it support that energy is there only, or that energy is there in the structure that I've been presented with (I.E., the 7 chakras).
Thank you.
PS: It's been hard To know what to focus on given that each energy modality has a glossary of terms and structures that make it the "right" one. I'm the kind of person who doesn't just look at the menu. I need to know what's not on the menu to understand.
Hello,
I would like to know if people here had or have PTSD and practice Qi Gong, how does it help you?
Thanks :)
Sorry for posting twice but what is white energy and what does it mean symbolically. I ask this because I saw an a bright white light when I was astral traveling and it symbolized it was an angel to me. It got me wondering what it's level of energy is/rank. Anyone have any clues?
My corneas are like oval shaped. I can’t see until I wear glass contact lenses. Both eyes. There is no medical understanding of this diagnosis. They don’t know why. It only happened 6 yrs ago. My corneas are damaged. I would like to know has anyone cured eyes similar to mine. I believe it can be done. I can’t see if I don’t wear contact lenses. Just see blurry vision thanks
It feels as though my ego has interfered with my spiritual energy. Despite all the trauma and fears that arise within me my spirit is hardly unfazed. Yet the human aspect/part of me is still haunted by my past and crippled by severe anxiety yet my soul still has that fire within me that pushes me. That still and powerful confidence that fuels me. Two opposite energies, one body.
Also I should mention my energy is extremely strong, it's as if others can feel it around me. Energy is strong and is felt by others which attracts all kinds of unique experiences. Life is interesting to say the least.
I have often noticed specks of lights,flashes, a feeling of presence around me.I have realised this usually comes when am imbalanced, realky down or overthinking about something, usually in my peripheral vision. I have come to a point of just accepting their presence.I see them but quite rarely in moments when am at peace. They don't trouble, they are just there.My theories-low vibration beings which I see when I am in their frequency OR angels or spirit guides.
Hi all of you beautiful people. I am really in need of some help with my energy work and am not sure where to turn to.
I gave birth to my son almost 3 years ago. Before that, my energy work was intuitive and came very naturally to me. I didn't have to think about it. I was able to very easily feel energy, send energy to people, astral travel, get into deep states of meditation, etc. It was part of who I was, and I was really just starting to explore that part of me for a year or so before I became pregnant. I called it "energy manipulation" since I didn't have the verbiage to describe what I was feeling or doing.
To cut to the chase, I haven't been able to do almost any of it since I've given birth and I am admittedly very lost. Granted, I've been through several incredibly traumatic things over the last 3 years, but typically I'd be able to at least do some type of visualization/meditation to help myself heal from what I've been through. I get discouraged and I just kind of give up. I have felt energy a few times, but it's quite rare. I'm not sure if I am just too exhausted at this point in my life or if some part of me is broken and needs fixing 😞
Is there some type of simple daily practice I can work on to help me "tap in" or get back to this part of myself? I was looking at book recommendations in the wiki, but I honestly don't have the time or energy to read books right now as a SAHM. All words, advice, and encouragement are welcome. Thank you
Recently I have been reading a book that teaches you on how to observe your thoughts. Not to be the thought it self but just to be the silent observer. So I let my thoughts go wild on a specific group of people who for many years I put tremendous amounts of anger and hatred energy into. When I was the silent observer of these thoughts right away in the base of my spine I felt a acute pain. Even as I type this I can feel it. I am new to the whole chakra thing and only have a basic understanding of it. I need clarity on how to best move forward with a root chakra that is in my best guess heavily unbalanced
Heya, I've been working through some experiences and some of the teaching and others, and I wanted to share something I learned about building strength in that realm.
Strength is having a strong identity supported by practices and experiences inside yourself. Power is having a life full of connections to others through love and to the world with significant experiences.
Any energy work you do is like a wave starting at your core. It passes through the system of your self and through the intention of the moment and out through movement into the physical realm.
If you build an identity around your energy work, and fill your life with experiences that support that identity, fill your mind with and knowledge that supports that kinda work, when you do your work the energy as it passes through you it will build in amplitude. Using your will deepened by meditation and dedication to the work you can define the frequencies to suit the task. With your imagination and movement you shape the energy. Finally, using movement, memories of times that support your work, and physical symbols you connect your work the physical realm.
I feel terribly narcissistic. I want everyone around me to be happy. Them being happy makes me happy. I will do anything to make them happy so i don't feel their pain. I will work tirelessly and torture myself without rest or resentment forever, every day, stretching to eternity, to accomplish this goal. And it makes me happy to take this burden. I know what this sounds like and i feel ashamed that i apparently presume myself to be this good. What am i?
