Welcome to the energy work sub!

The purpose of this community is to explore human energy in all of its facets. Out of body experiences, energy healing, energetic connections between people, psychic work and everything in between. This is a community about helping people explore, stretch and document their experiences as well as learn new ways and avenues to explore.

A primary purpose of this subreddit is to strip away all of the esoteric language, rituals and distractions that have been built around human energy practice to make for a clear and concise guide of how to achieve certain results (whatever those may be). This sub is open for discussion, without judgement, on any and every form of energy work regardless of degree of social acceptability or stigma.

This sub is about discussion, sharing information, discoveries, questions. Promotional posts, offers and requests belong in r/energy_healing.

Wiki:

There are a couple helpful entries in the wiki, here: https://www.reddit.com/r/energy_work/wiki/index It has been quite neglected, and if you have interest in helping to build it, contact a moderator.

Book of Interest:

There are many good and helpful books regarding energy work. The list included here are the books that were instrumental in the creation of this sub and in formulating its focus and goals. They are easy to read, motivating, clear and cogent in their individual subjects. An expanded list may be included in the wiki in the future.

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.

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.

Gut and Psychology Syndrome by Natasha Campbell-McBride. A toxic gut microbiome is probably the most overlooked cause of disease world-wide. This book looks at effects of a toxic gut on mental health. It gives a fantastic layman's overview of how everything works. This is a must read for anyone in this sub dealing with chronic or autoimmune diseases or mental health issues.

The Cosmic Serpent by Jeremy Narby. It focuses a lot on the double helix/double snake symbolism, but the author spends time with the Aboriginals of the Amazon and goes into detail about the relationship between the ancients and plant life. He notes their communication with plants through hallucinatory states/higher levels of consciousness, and how the plants would pass the knowledge of their uses onto the humans.

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.

Aside from other things, I’ve been extra sensitive to my food lately. I can even taste and smell better than I have in a while.

Need Advice Please help, very bad energy in my home after a visitor

12 Upvotes

I have no knowledge of these things but I have never experienced something quite like this. My old roommate came to see my new place. We hadn't seen eachother in years. Immediately when I met him at the door I felt something very off. Mid way through our visit he told me he was involved romantically with a woman who frequents a very bad part of town. When I was young, I would go to these hotels.. basically crack hotels and I finally realized that this was the exact dark energy I was sensing. He's been gone for hours and it's lingering!! I need to get rid of this badly. Unfortunately I cannot sage my home the fire alarms in here are so wacky. Once they start they never stop. What else can I do? Any advice greatly appreciated. Thank you ❤️

Update:

Thank you all for your advice. I really appreciate it. I lit a white candle, went room to room saying prayers, opened all the windows and then I took a shower. When I came out of the shower I came out to watch TV and it feels much better in here so again thank you!!

Need Advice I feel someone's energy is a stuck in me

3 Upvotes

I was physically intimate with a friend of mine (who I have since taken an indefinite break from). Even after removing all traces of reminders of her from my life as much as possible, I still hear the words "remove her" coming from within me, even though I did everything I could to remove her. I also have been dealing with really bad skin eczema (representative of boundaries) that seems energetically connected with the situation (as if she has "gotten under my skin").

I have done many cord cuttings and energy clearings such as smudging myself to remove her energy from me. Still, it feels a part of her energy is within me. It's as if I need an exorcism to get her energy out of me. The skin eczema is torturing me and it seems is crying out for help as this foreign energy is still in my field. What do I do?

Need Advice Feeling disconnected from the world

6 Upvotes

After my last post, I want to thank everyone who replied. I’ve began feeling very disconnected from the world recently. Almost like if the world had stopped me from connecting again. I try my best to raise my frequency and show that I care but it seems to not be enough. What can I do to reconnect back with the world. The people around me seem to opposite things of me and also see seem very different than before. I have a feeling this is energy related as my energy is not being accepted. Even animals sneer/make sounds at me if I’m being honest.

Need Advice Spiritual gifts can be stolen?

12 Upvotes

Recently went through a process that I never knew existed. I hear a high pitched ringing sound in my ears coming from outside and then it zaps my left side of head after. Since then I haven’t been able to use my left side of head and it feels like it’s fading out. The thing is, I had many ideas and creativity before this but now it’s all gone. I can no longer be the person I was I feel like. My left nostril is blocked as well. Is there a way to do this? Is this a thing? People even see me differently and people have said I’ve changed… in a more negative way. Is there a way to recover what’s been lost/stolen? This happened few weeks ago. It also feels like the world became very different after

Question A psychic said I should rehome my dog when I asked, is there a chance i could manifest a better situation so I can keep her?

2 Upvotes

So basically for the past few months I've had thoughts of giving my dog away (to a responsible owner of course) Because I have been too stressed to properly care for her or even myself.

However things are getting better now, and a loved one told me they want to help me more because they know I don't want to give her away and that I will be sad. I think my main struggle was I'm struggling to potty train her.

I thought it's the best decision for her, because I also financially struggle with vet bills etc and she needs her jabs but I think my situation will improve and I'll work towards it, it's just been seriously tough finding work (I'm also quite young, 19, it'll be my first job) I'd also much prefer to have savings rather than go broke if I needed to pay for anything expensive with vets but I don't have that now.

At the time when I asked this psychic (who is definitely genuine as she got names, very details info etc etc)

She told me she got a yes, and gave me a kind message of "if you can't cope you can't cope, don't let anyone judge you" Which was so sweet and also very matching to my situation, because at the time I was very highly stressed with life in genuine, and the dog was adding to it for me.

I kind of feel like, if my situation improves, I'd be on a new "frequency" and maybe now if I asked her she wouldn't get a yes? Because at the time I'd even say the answer yes would be correct, but not so much now.

I don't want to give her away, but I also don't want to keep her if I can't properly care for her so it's a tough decision.

Also, before anyone possibly judges me, I didn't buy her, she was given to me last year by an old family friend.

What's also weird is that before I got her, for a few months I started wanting a dog, I even started to plan for it, I knew it'd definitely happen but I was going to buy one when I can and am financially stable.

Then she just popped into my life and it felt like such a strange coincidence.... It felt like I manifested her or she was given to me by spirits / angels as a gift. It feels hard to give her up, she's very special to me. I also feel guilty for how I haven't been the best owner due to my own mental healths.

Please does anyone know if its possible that it's "okay" for me to keep her now, despite the psychic saying no to my question, I honestly don't blame her or the spirits because at the time I was rly low and struggling.

Can I somehow manifest a better financial situation for me and somehow make it right for me to keep her? She's my little puppy! :( (she's not a puppy anymore lol)

Need Advice Need Help With Spirts Torturing Me

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

My name is Brian and I am posting today because of issues that I'm having and need help with. Recently there has been some spirits coming to me. The spirits have been torturing me and putting contraptions on me to torture me.

These contraptions that these spirits put on me not only torture me but they also prevent me from feeling anything. I can't feel anything but pain now and I need somthing to remove this contraption from me so that I can feel again. I have tried putting on multiple reiki video's but nothing has helped me and I don't know what to do.

Does anyone know what reiki video's I should use to help get these contraptions off of me? and Does anyone know of any reiki video's that I can use that would help me feel my emotions and vibes again?

If you could please help me I would really appreciate it!

Thank you!

Need Advice Energy protection

20 Upvotes

I had a session with a healer who told me I need to practice better protection. Every time I see her she is just clearing other peoples energy out of me. I absorb everything it seems no matter what. I try to visualize shields. I’ve even tried using crystals I was told would be good to use. Nothing seems to work for me. Are there any other techniques out there for energy protection when the typical ways don’t work? I’ve tried all kinds of shields, and crystals, even in the past tried to use sponges. Any advice or tips are welcome!

Eureka Moment! Is it possible for a single person to heal or bring peace to every Human, even momentarily?

20 Upvotes

I just had a though about what sparked my journey. It began when I surrendered and experienced a deep connection with everything and feeling as if I was a "God." Before this experience, I was an atheist, and this moment has driven me to seek that feeling again. I have not got that feeling since, but I have grown a lot spiritually and can control energy and push it out to others near me. During the initial feeling of being connected to ALL and feeling divine, I pushed it away because it felt blasphemous to see myself as divine or a God. Now, I believe that experience was actually a revelation that we all can be "divine". It's been about three months since I had that powerful feeling and my goal is to reconnect with it one day. My question is if that feeling happened again and I felt I was connected to ALL could I use meditation and push my energy out and heal or bring peace to everyone at once, or does one not have enough energy to do that? Just a wild thought I had because I feel like I can push out energy now and making people happier that are near me. So yeah, just curious If I had the sensation again of being one with all, could it be possible to heal everyone at once, even for a moment?

Need Advice Entities feeding off of my negativity after traumatic experience, bad memories coming back.

3 Upvotes

I hope this doesn't sound stupid, I never even looked into this subreddit, but I got to a weird point where I really feel as if negative entities are feeding off of me in the last days, I'll give some context first.

I had entire weeks of very little sleep, then I went to a private party of my friends, and I ended up having sex with someone I never even knew before and that never in a million years would I have had sex with, note that I hadn't done it in almost two years ever since I had broken up with my ex and love of my life, and she was the only one I had ever done it with and viceversa.

In the morning I wake up with regret and even see some dark shadow behind the door, when I later talk with my friend he tells me he also felt as if everyone at the party got possessed (There was an orgy and other disgusting stuff).

Anyways after a few days I get (and still have) a fever, but it's not the way it's affecting my body that hurts, it's the thoughts that come to my mind, things I had moved on from, suddenly I feel weak to them again.

I think of my ex and our memories together and I suffer, I never met someone like her, we truly had a soul connection but younger and immature me disappointed her, I think of my dead brother from last year and I suffer, I think of so much stuff that makes me suffer immensely and I just feed these negative thoughts and all of a sudden it's as if there's nothing to look forward to in life, while even up until a week ago I was feeling amazing, positive towards my future and all of that. Also it might be a coincidence but my mother woke up earlier from her first sleep paralysis where she saw shadows and couldn't move nor talk.

Discussion Is there a way to use this to my advantage?

2 Upvotes

I'm 29F and very newly returning to traditional psychiatry/therapy. I have had previous experiences with traditional meds and whatnot and it left me extremely distrustful of the process.

However, the ability to use sciences to determine a probable diagnosis which gives me a viewpoint into how my brain works has value. Into reading more about the types of ways these present and manifest, I understand that I do display a lot of these things in a way that causes detriment to myself.

Previouslg, I was diagnosed as chronic anxiety/depression, but currently I'm working with bipolar and adhd- I have a follow up appointment to better develop those as well.

I'm searching for a way that I can begin to use the way my brain works to my advantage instead of my detriment. I'm being told that lifelong medication would be a recommendation and I'm having so much trouble swallowing the fact that there's something that needs to be "fixed" or somethings "wrong" beyond chemicals being or not being produced.

The thought I have so far is that I've been utilizing my energy incorrectly- when I'm manic, I want to go out or have fun. When I'm depressed, I tend to isolate and try to find comfort in drawing, writing, crafts and things. But if I were to utilize my manic energy to create, and seek thoughtful and replenishing connections during depression, I feel like that would be better.

Any thoughts, advice or shared experience is welcome.

Need Advice Depleted After Socializing

10 Upvotes

Over the years of working as a freelance creative and, eventually, building my own online business, I do a lot of virtual calls (zoom, Google meet, Teams, etc). And I noticed that after a day of meetings — even just 2 — I feel so drained and depleted, like I have this empty pit in the core of my body and, at the same time, I feel like my nervous system is on hyperdrive.

So, over the years, I've learned to schedule all my calls on just 2 days per week. Since I feel the same level of depletion after 2 calls or 8 calls, I'd rather just get it all over with in 2 days per week instead of spreading it throughout my week.

This has helped a lot and I LOVE the days when I'm not on meetings. I feel truly myself, at peace, and most creative on my NON-call days. I don't dread my non-call days and oftentimes I'm looking forward to certain meetings, but after all the meetings are over, it's another story.

I've noticed I turn to unhealthy ways of coping on my call days. For example, I'm not much of a drinker, but on my call days I crave alcohol — 2 shots or so to calm my nervous system and help bring me to a mellower state. I also, even more than the craving for alcohol, want to eat. I don't crave anything in particular and I don't binge. It's more like I just want to fill this uncomfortably empty pit in the middle of my body. It's not hunger either. It's just an unendurable emptiness.

I'm a pretty healthy person. And I know this isn't related to any sort of social anxiety or anything like that. So I'm convinced it's energetic.

So, my questions are: 1. How do I better cope with this horrible, empty, depleted feeling? 2. How can I prevent this feeling from happening at all?

For context, I DO NOT have ADHD, depression, or anxiety. I'm very grateful for that. I'm also very active and healthy. I feel rather spoiled and grateful that this is really my only complaint in life. It severely impacts me, my goals, my health, and my happiness. But I also know I'm fortunate that this is the only thing I'm internally battling.

I appreciate any advice 🙏

Question Need Help Figuring Out Why I Saw This Energy

12 Upvotes

Last night after my light turned off I saw these purple ish blue energy butterfly’s all over flapping their wings. I don’t know who sent them or where they came from or who they are. I have asked Archangel Jophiel who is known for sending those and she didn’t. I also asked my guardian angel and he didn’t send them either. Any help on what these are and who sent them would be very helpful, thank you.

Edit: would anyone else say this seems like a sign from my spirit guides?

Question Can energy vampires be positive?

7 Upvotes

Not as in making you feel positive, but they behave in a non negative way. I have a family member who drains the soul out of me whenever I see them, however they aren’t draining as in negative personality, in fact they are upbeat, but they are hungry for being centre of attention and in control of every social event. They also love to gossip a lot. They are like this bc they had an adverse childhood which led them desperate for attention.

Advice Feeling all out of sorts following energy session - is this normal?

2 Upvotes

Over the past three months, I've had a range of energy treatments - kinesiology, holographic energy reading/clearing, reading with Oracle cards, and sound bath sessions, all via the same person. This person has all-excellent reviews.

I left my session last Monday feeling really odd. As if I've perhaps seeen too much of this practitioner or something. It's a feeling I've never felt with her before as I normally really enjoy my time with her. It wasn't anything she said ... it was just ... ugh; hard to explain, but I didn't feel good.

Yesterday, I was walking across my garden when I tripped and fell, sustaining major damage to my knees, palms, wrists, and back. The bruising hasn't come out as yet but I can tell it's on its way as the fall was major and I'm struggling to move.

My question is, is it normal to feel this way after having treatments? I spaced them out so there was at least a week in between. I'm also struggling for the first time in a very long while with my spirtuality. I have a tonne of crystals that normally bring me joy but tonight I'm looking at them thinking, "What a waste of money". Please help me get out of this rut - what is causing this? Is it just my inner conscience telling me this path isn't meant for me?

Something weird happened just before, too - I was sitting here at my desk when I felt something on my left wrist, and looked down to see a massive spider, one I've never seen before - like a black daddy long legs - so freaky!

Need Advice Absorbing Energy? Unable to be intimate with anyone after soul connection

38 Upvotes

I had a short-lived but intense connection with someone who made me see all my shadows. After this person left, it turned my life upside down and forced me to heal all my hidden wounds.

Ever since this connection, I noticed that I became very sensitive to energy. If I am intimate with someone else I absorb their energy and then feel terrible for days until it eventually goes away.

I know that sex is an energy exchange, but I never had an issue like this before until now. I'm afraid that I won't be able to enjoy sex anymore because of the aftermath.
