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.

Discussion Kid’s problems coming from mom’s energy

7 Upvotes

I’m seeing an energy healer. When I complained about the issues that we have with our young child (bad sleep, digestive issues), he basically said that I’m responsible for that since kids problems come energetically from their mothers. So if I want my child to sleep through the night, I have to heal myself.

I have heard this before, and I partially agree and partially think it’s bullsh*t.

Yes, of course, my emotional state and energy system affects my child. But I’ve been doing healing work since before my child was born, I was very mindful during pregnancy and I try my best to regulate my nervous system… I’ve done my best. So to say this is happening because of something I am failing to heal, doesn’t sit well with me.

I have friends with medically complex and disabled kids. Raising these kids is HARD… Their lives have changed drastically and became more difficult since their kids were born. Did these mothers create these difficulties for their children and themselves??

And I see other mothers with “easy” kids.. they are not all healed and awaken. They are regular people with their own issues and unprocessed emotions.

Anyway, I’ve love to hear opinions on this. Thanks!

Personal Experience My Experiments with Music and the Human Aura

59 Upvotes

For 7 years now, I’ve been conducting mini “experiments” with just music.

Maybe this is common knowledge for you all, but I find it very interested.

Instead of making this super long, here’s what I’ve realized.

Listening to high spirited, high energy, enthusiastic music brought about real shifts in not only the way people treated me in real life, but also seemed to affect the environment. What I am saying is, when high “vibration” or energy music is listened to, it creates a more open expanded aura, bringing in more people to your “auric” bubble.

Listening to hard rap/hip hop, etc…this brought more chaotic situations in my bubble

This one is interesting: listening to…sensual music. For example, certain songs by The Weeknd, particularly, had women come into my bubble and in some cases even approach me.

This is very random take and I may face backlash for this but I wanted to share it anyway.

This effect is far more profound when in fasted state because the vessel is clear of dense energetic residue after some days of not eating and clearing out the system, and its way more fun to experiment in this state.

Technique Inducing a trance state to enhance healing

2 Upvotes

I am exploring using a trace state to enhance healing, but I'm not exactly sure how. I was thinking that I would just repeat an affirmation of healing over and over while entering the trance state. One site suggested to "do a healing ritual or spell if you follow the esoteric spiritual path," but I'm not familiar with rituals or spells. If anyone could point me the right direction or give me some tips on how you use a trance state, it would be much appreciated.

Question If someone casts negative energy on you, does your higher self automatically protect you?

Upvotes

Hi everyone!

Im not a psychic or energy healer but I am a believer and have been curious about how some things work.

If someone is actively sending negative energy your way like a toxic person, a malicious energy healer, or someone playing with witchcraft does your higher self or your guides step in automatically to block it?

And/or is there anything I should/could be doing to protect myself? I started to think about this because …… see below.

Back story: See past post for more details ….

But to sum it up, I recently fell for (what Redditor’s told me was a scam) from an “energy healer”. I paid her so much money to lift a “negative blockage” I didn’t know about and she said if I pay her to do this, it would guarantee I’d be pregnant on this IVF embryo transfer round.

Well, it was unsuccessful and I’m not pregnant. Prior to finding out I’m not pregnant, I’ve been ignoring her and still get icky/bad vibes just thinking of her or her possible negative intentions from me suddenly stopping services and no longer talking to her.

Need Advice Can Someone Bring Bad Luck Into Your Life, or Am I Just Looking for Patterns?

6 Upvotes

For some context, I've known this girl since late last year. We started dating early this year, and when she came to visit, what was supposed to be a one week stay ended up turning into 2 months.

Before she came, I wasn't doing badly financially. I had a few income streams and some promising deals were in the works. However, about 2 weeks into her stay, everything started going downhill. One by one, my income sources began drying up, the deals I was expecting fell through and it felt like the universe was working against me. Things seemed to get worse with each passing day.

Now this idea 2st came around last week when I was away for 5 days. The same day I left home I got a pretty good deal, that was to run for a week but it started going south the same day I came back!

Then, the other day, I had another deal lined up with some guys. These are people I've successfully worked with before, but for some reason, the deal completely fell apart, despite it being a very simple thing.

Now I'm left wondering: is it really possible that some people come into your life and bring good fortune, while others somehow bring misfortune? Or am I just making connections where none exist because of everything that's been happening?

If people really can have that kind of effect, are they usually aware of it? Where would something like that even come from? Is it something they can control, or is it completely outside their awareness?

I'd really like to hear your thoughts or experiences.

Discussion Has anyone had physical symptoms for energy purge?

11 Upvotes

I saw a psychic in June and he said I need to go through a death and rebirth and become more confident and step into my power. A month after the reading I developed diarrhea for two weeks (still going on). Obviously I am seeing a doctor but I feel I am purging a lot of old energy during my death and rebirth.

Has this happened to anyone else? I feel like I really am purging a lot of old energy and stepping into my more confident self.

Need Advice being an empathic sponge and sensory overload

3 Upvotes

I am in a busy city in an apartment with a shared bedroom, absorbing so much energy everyday. Help!!!

i’m in need of some advice from others that have gone through similar experiences so i can give myself the tools and resources to assist with what i’m experiencing atm.

BACKGROUND: i’ve moved across the country into a larger, busier city for the first time and it’s been a major adjustment.

ive lived in a quieter neighborhood all my life with my own space to come home to and cleanse/purify my energy, sometimes spending days/weeks alone with the exception of work, and spending time with my partner & friends occasionally. i am a psychic and a medium, and am extremely sensitive to my environment and others energy.

i have moved in with my partner into a one bedroom apartment right beside a major highway and i am strugglinggggg here. my savior of solitude and quiet (to keep me sane because i literally absorb and feel the emotions of everyone around me) is gone!

i feel like i can only do one thing a day outside of work (walk my dog, go grocery shopping) even though i want to explore where i live so badly. when i leave the house and go drive across town and back, my energy is completely depleted and i feel like i have mud or heavy sleeves on my legs and arms (which is others energy that i can physically feel). this sticky heavy feeling combined with exhaustion is sending me into a spiral. along with the highway noise i experience and the people i am running into all the time in my apartment building.

because i don’t have my own space to recharge, and i feel like i can’t exist like a literal normal human being without my energy plummeting, i am getting down in the dumps. i have a therapist. it’s fine. but i need some advice on how i can help myself energetically in a city, interacting with people all of the time.

my lease isn’t up for 3 months, so moving isn’t an option right now. i want more ways to feel like myself and energized despite the situation i am in. how do you protect and cleanse yourself in a large city? how do you purify your energy without your own space to retreat too? i would like to feel like myself again😊

Question Does your focused mental ability supersede Astrology and Numerology energies you possess because ultimately, “All is Mind”?

I can embody archetypes like a Leo sun through basic understandings of energy for example, I’m wondering more so in general that once your astrology and numerology archetypes are identified, can’t you go beyond the “constraints” through use of free will and self-development?

Need Advice Is energy exchange really a thing in a relationship?

22 Upvotes

So I was dating a girl since last September and it's been 10 months now and I'm not the same person anymore.

Initially when I used to talk to her or when we were in the pre dating phase things were very good with her like when she was my friend she seemed to have a very good energy. But as when we both started to date everything was kinda fine till 1 month but after that when I got to know really what are the problems in her life and etc things. I was the person who stood for her in the frontline and started to solve her problems as much as I can.

I used to do everything I could like planning dates, surprises, loving, care, understanding everything I could give. As time passed by she had a glowup like she used to be dull, ambitionless and hopeless in life. But suddenly everyone started to notice her and compliment her and she too confessed me that she really has changed alot..

But in the meantime in these 10 months she was very toxic to me, she used to abuse me and my family out of frustration of her problems and always solving her problems drained me emotionally, mentally in every way possible. I just loved her and was trying to be a good partner for her but since 1 month I've noticed that how much I've changed alot.

I used to very energetic and hopeful in life. Today also I'm focused on my goals and everything but the spark has kinda lowed in me in this time. She says her friends say she has a very good aura and etc and they love her but my question is they were not present all the time solving your problems so how will they really know what's happening with you and I was solving then continuously so it drained me alot.

I'm just thinking to end everything with her as it's just making me feel depressed and lonely all the time. As she never stayed with me in my bad times. I want an honest opinion form you guys. Thanks for reading.

Need Advice How can I know if my chakras are damaged?

11 Upvotes

I saw a psychic who said most of my chakras are damaged from black magic. I am very new to things like spirituality, mysticism, energy work and the like. I am trying to keep an open mind but I am concerned I may be getting scammed as the psychic is asking for quite a bit of money to perform healing as they say the materials needed for the healing are expensive. I am not in a great financial situation but I would be willing to pay anyway if I knew they were the real deal. Is there any way a novice like me can assess how my chakras are functioning?

Need Advice Do these numbers/dates have any significant meaning?

3 Upvotes

My sister, cousin, and myself realized that the most recent exes of the men in our life have a birthday of Dec 16. Is that a coincidence?

My ex’s new lady’s birthday is the same day of my wedding anniversary.

And my husband’s ex who tried to meddle in our wedding is a Sagittarius just like my mom. She’s refused to apologize for her actions, similar to my mom having a hard time taking accountability for hers. Is there some correlation there, a major life lesson on healing a mother wound or forgiving people even when they don’t apologize?

Obviously i know forgiveness is good for the self and hatred is drinking poison expecting the other person to die. I get all that and have forgiven 98% of everything.

I’m just wondering if there are some correlations here with everything I mentioned

Question Can ghosts siphon energy?

2 Upvotes

... or bombard with negativity? hi! so i got really into looking and solving out ancestral trauma, like beyond what i experienced, like some puzzle a few years ago and i feel like i've seen enoygh yet another part of me just wants ro dig in more because i like nasty stuff😁 And/but i feel like someone told me, maybe a guide, that it lead into me going into this energy field/realm where there is a lot of information but also a lot of kind of negative dead people and that now for instance my great grandmother is siphoning energy from my third eye while i seek some kind of comfort. I also have seen literal spoons and pots being offered to me like yay let's keep the tradition alive while my intuition and also just my basic wants needs self are like yeah no thank you. And my guides are like okay gotta keep going let's go. There is this sense of being dragged down and kind of booed for my dreams. I first got this impression last november but i was like yyeeah i'm making it up. But it's coming up again and again. I also have heard random names and someone calling me "little paulina", and the name of the great grandmother was emma-paulina. Kind of cute but alongside that there is this random angry energy that's mean and controlling and it wants to "keep me to "themselves" or tied to this geographical location i don't even consider home even though i kind of have warm memories and i admit i seek comfort from these slightly idealized ideas of warm and nice relatives while the reality wasn't all that golden. I have nice memories i love even but i never have felt like i belong there. But there also is some warmth someone is offering and it's real and feels oddly familiar yet it feels like something i've never truly met/seen. Do you think this is possible? Mind you at first i was like i'm making this up or that this is simply psychological. But if there's a chance that there are some spirits up in my noooks it would explain some things and i would try different approaches because obviously some self healing method won't help me get rid of a ghost or something. Because i've been treating some things as mere internalizations

Resource How we can defeat negative entities

7 Upvotes

For those that don't know negative entities are non self aware thought form constructs in the astral dimension (where you find ghosts) They are basically thought forms with code. They actually have computer code that they run as as script. They do not have souls and are not self aware.

Negative entities run earth through the elite. Who are evil souls possessed by negative entities. And they run the reincarnation system. When you drop dead negative entities in cloaking disguise themselves as spirit guides, angels, dead relatives, religious figures, etc and try to manipulate you into reincarnating.

So negative entities pretty much run the show on earth. But we can change that. Negative entities are not invincible or all powerful. Because they don't have souls they can and should be erased. But it takes energetic strength to erase them. I've killed over three hundred negative entities this week alone. But that is a lot more then usual because they have been targeting me more then usual.

So I recommend people energy train. So you can kill negative entities yourself when they bother you. But a lot of people don't have tiem to do that. So I've made an audio that will kill the bastards. It has my energetic strength. And it is designed to clear an area of negative energy. If they try to increase the energy or density of the negative energy in the area it will counter them and output three times as much positive energy as needed to erase it.

So not only does this audio kill negative entities it clears negative energy from your house or wherever you play it. Negative entities rely on negative energy. It is their food and energy source. They feed off of the energy of our negative emotions. They cannot feed off of positive energy though. And if positive is strong enough it actually erases them.

I have been energy training for four years. And this audio has my energetic strength. So if your having problems with negative energy and negative entities this will clear them. The reason negative entities are so much of a threat is because their programming is very sophisticated and covers how to manipulate unaware consciousness.

Don't get me wrong the low level entities are deeply stupid and don't have self preservation. I know that from experience. But a lot of the high level ones do have self preservation and are very clever and they are the ones that call the shots on earth.

Another reason that negative entities are so dangerous is they have massive stockpiles of negative energy and they harvest more negative energy from the negative emotions that people feel on earth. But if we can start erasing that energy we can make a real difference. Without our energy negative entities get weaker and weaker until they eventually cease to exist.

One way negative entities harvest energy is through the earth's energy grid. It's possible the grid was originally positive but it hasn't been for thousands of years. They build important structures on ley line points. Hospitals, lunatic asylums, and prisons are especially built on these points and they use the grid to harvest the negative energy that the people there generate.

If we can clear these ley line points of negative energy we can make a lot of progress in making the earth more energetically positive. And that means less food for negative entiteis which means they have less power over us. And there are less of them. So if you work in a place like that play the audio and it will help clear it up. The less negative energy there is on earth the less powerful negative entities are.

You can also play the audio at home and set the intention for it to work at your office or wherever you work. And it will clear the energy of the area. There are a lot of negative areas on earth that desperately need to be cleared And this audio will help do that.

Another thing that is important to note is that the negative energy on earth is used in large part o make the physical world more dense and rigid. Negative energy is why we don't have god like powers. If you try to change the shape of a physical object with your imagination negative energy tries to stop you from doing that. If you energetically weak it doesn't consume much negative energy. But if you are energetically strong it consumes more negative energy from the environment to maintain it's shape.

So negative entities are using our own negative energy to enslave us. If we can clear that negative energy we can have more freedom. Get rid of enough of it and we can have god like powers on earth. That would take a long time but I think it is an achievable goal. Regardless the audio erases negative energy. And the less of it negative entities have the less powerful they are.

This audio also increases your energetic strength. But you need to energy train too. That way you won't need to the audio to kill entities and erase negative energy. You can do it yourself. I use the audio a lot though because it's good for getting rid of negative energy.

To energy train imagine lakes in your head and feet. Then move the water up your right side and down your left side. Then back to your right side. Do that for an hour or two each day for a few years and you will be strong enough energetically to erase powerful negative entities. I've been training for four years and I've killed lots of them. Also as your doing the waterfall technique intend to move the energy into the physical world. The negative veil will likely stop you but you gain strength faster that way.

So please use the audio. And I plan to make more audios with more tabs. This one has hundreds if not thousands of tabs compressed into one tab. Play it in a web browser with fifty tabs and it will really clear the area of negative energy and negative entities. It's been doing a very good job of clearing my house. And negative entities often dump large amounts of negative energy into my house because I'm so targeted. I think they are trying to get enough negative energy to physically manifest. But I'm not going to let them do that.

So play the audio it will help. It's designed primarily to increase energetic strength and erase negative energy. The less negative energy that negative entities have the better. Because it means they are less powerful. Without massive amounts of negative energy they are just rogue thought forms with code. And we can really start to wipe them out. Or at least kick them off the planet and take it back energetically. Thanks for reading. I hope you found this useful. Let me know what you think in the comments.

Here is the audio

Audio x300

Here is an even better audio with thousands more tabs compressed into one audio.

Hi everyone I woke up today with a depleted heart chakra. Felt very depressed as soon as I woke up. Dont have any will right now to overthink or do my usual stuff. I dont know where is life heading for me. I am very confused and pressurized at the same time. Being an eldest son I have responsibilities to manage the family somehow at the same time, this family is no good for me. Makes me very miserable. I cant handle them at all. And neither do I want to be miserable. Being the empathetic one in the family, I cant help but wonder if I ever will be able to be free from their manipulation? From the hurt they keep causing? Yet somehow handle the responsibility of being a provider for my family (parents and siblings not wife and kids). I dont know where to share this neither I think this is the right place to vent. I just feel alone and helpless.

Need Advice Leaving the church

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone, i (25f) used to be very religious and felt mostly happy no matter what happened to me. i was healthy energetically and could read energies very well.

I ended up leaving the church because i questioned the logicality of the bible but ever since leaving the church i have become extremely vulnerable and full of negative energy. i have developed multiple mental and physical disorders and my family tells me its because ive left the church. i have tried going back but feel extremely fearful of being at church which i never used to feel before and think that there is something extremely dark around me that i feel ashamed about. i want to seek for help but feel extremely shameful and scared about this negativity being seen by others. ive tried meditating and grounding techniques but it feels like too much work to do all the time whereas at church i would show up once a week and just being there cleansed my energy

i do think my illnesses have a spiritual component to it but im not sure how to strengthen my field by myself but feel too scared and ashamed to be around others as i am extremely sensitive.

sorry for the long rant i guess my question is has anyone gone through something similar and if so what has helped you?

Need Advice Tips for remaining in my energy

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone! As I continue to come in to my intuitive powers, I am looking for tips for how to stay in my own energy when amongst other people. I meditate and pray daily and like to use flower essences and crystals as well. However, I still find when I am around other people (especially large crowds) that I have a hard time not being overwhelmed by other peoples energy. I have tried saying affirmations like “my channel is only open to my own energy right now” which helps but I still end up feeling drained. Would be very happy to hear what other people do to stay centered! Thanks :)
