My anxiety has been through the roof, but I've also been feeling unusually angry and irritated over things that normally wouldn't bother me. It's like every emotion is turned all the way up. Anyone else experiencing intense anxiety, anger, or emotional overwhelm right now? ✨💜

Can anyone educate me on how witches astral project onto someone without their consent. Not so much emphasis on the consent part, but I’m really curious about just how it’s done.

Some time ago, I had a dream in which I was lying in a bed. I then woke up to see a group of people wearing long, black hooded cloaks, holding candles and chanting spells against me. I got out of bed and simply watched them. It was quite disturbing—it felt as though I had been in the midst of a satanic circle. A few days after that dream, the name "Astaroth" came to me; I looked it up online and found that it refers to a high-ranking demon. I haven’t felt possessed or anything of the sort, though I have been facing significant difficulties regarding money, work, and my family life. Furthermore, the "man in the black hat" appeared to me at my workplace. I don’t understand any of this; I am completely confused. Does this mean I don’t have much time left to live?

Hi Reddit!!

So, I had a strange dream- but don’t we all? I don’t really know what to think about the dreams, and the meaning behind them because it honestly makes me head hurt. I’m currently going through so many negative changes at this stage in my life, and this dream definitely had me curious & anxious about my future.

I had a dream about a massive tsunami engulfed in flames. And could see it approaching from a far distance, and as it finally reached me, it suddenly stopped from in front of me. A tall tsunami on fire. The dream left me feeling shaken, but I couldn’t help wondering if there was a deeper spiritual meaning behind it. What stood out to me most was that something so powerful and destructive came toward me, yet it never touched me.

Can it be trouble or something negative coming for me?
I have recently got out of a relationship with someone whose religion is Santeria. I’ve been told that not everyone uses it for harm or ill intent- but I believe he did. He would use it as a way to scare me.
He’ll tell me that he knows when something is going to happen, and that whenever someone does him wrong, something happens to them.

I pray every night to protect me and my energy. But I can’t help but think about that dream.

Am I being dramatic? How can I protect myself?

Hi. I've only recently put together that what I'm experiencing is some of the "clairs."

I had a pretty emotionally neglectful childhood and I have been putting a lot of work into unlearning these patterns of making relationships these past few years. The people that are most familiar to me are causing me sickness.

I didn't know some of the Clair/energy stuff was something I needed to consider to the extent I do.

This leaves me wondering if I have to refine my person selection even more. Because maybe even after I learn how to ground better, and shield, I am just more sensitive?

So if you have moved through some of this, what type of qualities or feel in a person brings you connection and grounding or positive energy? Just even having a little list would help me orient so much better 😅

I met an energy vampire nine months ago that genuinely terrifies me and I feel like she still has a hold on me somehow. Before cutting her off (she was only in my life for maybe 3-4 weeks) I tried to kill myself, and looking back I’m convinced that’s what she wanted.

She quickly made herself one of my close friends. It felt like she just invited herself into my energy and made herself at home. She started off making me believe we were uncannily similar, that we had similar upbringings and everything (we did not, and I quickly found out she was a pathological liar). But the thing is, her lies were so insane and I somehow believed them at the time. She knew immediately once I figured her out then switched her method. She made me think I could trust her and so I opened up to her about a lot of things, especially my trauma. I was in a very dark place during this time and she took advantage of that. I would tell her really messed up things that happened to me, and she’d repeat it word for word to others, making them believe it happened to her. She pretended to have my trauma and my mental illness.

The part that scares me about her in particular (three things).
When I met her she looked drained (in hindsight she literally looked like she was in desperate need of energetic supply). Then over time she started to look like me. I don’t wear makeup and it wasn’t like she just started doing her makeup/hair like me or dressing like me. Her face literally started to look like mine.

It took me a few weeks but once I figured out what she was doing, I still couldn’t get away from her or cut her off. Every part of me wanted to get away but it was like there was some external force pulling me towards her. So I was just hanging out with her and others while having full awareness of what she was doing.

The worst is she would repeat things I told her word for word to others, sometimes WHILE I WAS THERE. It felt like everyone was under some sort of spell. I tried telling someone what she was doing and they did not believe me, she convinced everyone that it was ME who was lying. So not only was she taking my energy and roleplaying being me, but she had everyone convinced that it was me who was doing it to her. There was nothing I could do about it because I quickly realized the more I tried to get people to help me and see the truth, the more I was antagonized and she was sympathized with. It’s insane because she was not a good liar at all and there were so many inconsistencies. And the inconsistencies weren’t minor, it was things like people close to her being dead, then somehow being alive three weeks later. But no one ever questioned her and I could tell she got a lot of pleasure from repeating my life story to others in front of me, knowing I wouldn’t be able to call her out.

I ended up trying to kill myself. I was that desperate to get away. I somehow survived and while I was in the psych ward, she was telling everyone that me and her were so close and that she’s checking in on me everyday etc etc. I got out and had to get away from her. I blocked her from everything.

I think she was more than an energetic vampire and I’m not sure if I believe in full destiny swapping, but that’s what it felt like.

Why I think she still has control over me: I never had this problem before I met her. But ever since knowing her and cutting her out of my life, I am having an issue of everyone I meet thinking I’m a pathological liar. I do not lie at all unless I feel unsafe (basically people like her, anytime someone seems too curious about learning about me/my life I’m now hesitant). But doesn’t matter the environment (work, new friends, roommates, etc) I am noticing that everyone thinks I’m a pathological liar. They’ll ask me questions and I’ll answer truthfully, and these people will constantly try to catch me in a lie when I’ve done nothing but be truthful. It feels like I’m constantly being interrogated and the conversation topic will be something dumb like how I make my coffee in the morning. What do I get from lying about that? I thought it was insane that no one ever questioned this girl and her insane lies, yet everyone i run into since then is thinking I’m lying about anything and everything, even really basic things where it’s like why would I even lie about that? I really need some reassurance or ways to make sure she really is completely cut off from me energetically. With the lying accusations from everyone now, it feels like she’s somehow turned the world against me despite being far away and having no access to me. But in general it feels like I’m being silenced against my will. It’s not just that no one believes anything I say, it’s that I feel so scattered now too and unable to communicate anything properly. Just writing this post was very difficult to me and I hope it makes sense.
I just want my life again. I want to feel safe again.

Hi I've got a question about emotions and shadow work! In western chakra traditions, by anodea Judith and Carl jung, the emotional shadows correlate like so:

• root chakra fear
• sacral guilt
• solar shame
• heart grief
• throat lies
• third eye illusion
• crown attachment

I'm wondering if it could be argued that each of these emotions are based in fear but express in the way of the chakra. The Shadow parts of ourselves are suppressed, avoided, repulsed, etc so these Shadow emotions are from othering parts of ourselves, is that out of fear ultimately?

Root deals with stability of survival and sustenance of life, awareness, conscious mind, and connection to the body and material world. 

Sacral deals with emotional flow, sexuality and creative force of the mind into the material, desire for material and psychic pleasures, subconscious mind

Solar deals with confidence, self image, ego, status, attachment, and the first of the superconscious mind.

Heart deals with connection to the humanity and soul of others, love of others before self, service, gratitude, forgiveness, circulation and shared energy, compassion and care.

Throat deals with pure expression of energy, communication, creating space for others' expression, articulation of the mind and heart, nobility and freedom.

Third eye deals with insight from experience, clarity of knowledge and recall, bias and the mind's filter, understanding of experience.

Crown deals with spiritual connection, spontaneous knowledge, unity with the universe, acceptance and liberation from the mind and material leaving only the spirit.

I personally feel all my chakras are imbalanced and exhibit each of these emotions especially guilt surrounding pleasure, shame surrounding my (the ego's) self image, and grief surrounding loss. I'm trying to write and discover the persinality of a character with imbalances in all chakras that undergoes assisted shadow work in a manifested psychescape of her own energy to integrate the shadows, and discover and liberate herself from a spiritual parasite that gave her trauma in childhood and influenced her energy expressions to take over her body.

Also to note, in ananda marga yoga tradition there are vrittis, propensities, fluctuations of subtle energy that are basically behaviors of the chakras that are usually bad but point to the chakras as having imbalance, displayed as the petals in chakra yantra/symbols. For example in sacral, the vrittis are cruelty, pleasure seeking tendency, indifference, mental stupor, suspicion, and fear of annihilation until one tempers their reptile mind to achieve pleasure without those selfish behaviors and thus not needing to feel guilty for pleasure. There are several to thousands of vritti of each chakra but the 50 petals are the main ones that combine and filter to become others.

It seems the correlation between the shadow emotion and vrittis is that they can cause one another. The Shadow is the emotion and the vritti is the behavior?

• Do you think that these Shadow emotions inherently come from the suppression or dissociation from the qualities of these chakras? Are they expressions of fear surrounding these qualities? Do you have any nuance, guidance, or corrections to add?

Hey,

My whole body seems to be spinning. Different places. Chest, lower ribs, under chin, in mouth, left ribcage, right outer thigh, in my brain.

I am so nauseated. This has been happening for almost 2 years, but today it is unbearable. I feel so overwhelmed.

No one can tell me what is happening. Can you?

What do i do

friend confessed they had a crush on me for two years and tried to pressure me into a relationship, they wouldnt take no for an answer,

i became completely isolated from community after this and unable to form friendships, and i also think everyone has a crush on me or eventually will,

its been 3 years and i dont really ruminate on it but i still feel a lot of blockages related to it in terms of career, friendship and community, self-image,

"The problem was you sucking all of the air out of the chat nobody wanted to talk anymore, your energy is hugeeee girl and that's a compliment"

#watdatmean

I already watered myself down a lot, specifically in work environments, neutrals, demure, etc. but I want something very very effective as I know that my light tends to attract attention and get people infatuated with me.

I know I sound arrogant but there is no better way to put it.

Hi everyone! Let me make a long story… long lol. I’ve always had anxiety off and on since I was a teenager, I’m 32 now. In 2021, I ate 3 CBD gummies my husband bought from a vape shop. Something snapped in me that night, I was sent into a full blown panic attack, I couldn’t sit still. Since then I’ve have terrible anxiety, depression, depersonalization, derealization, OCD- different themes…lol. I’ve been on lexapro since then and it has helped me tremendously. My husband says that I have an entity possession and that’s the entire reason I have anxiety etc. I don’t think he fully understands how down in the trenches I was. How I don’t want to be on any medicine but in order to be a somewhat normal functioning adult and mother I need to be. Is there something to what he is saying? I’m curious. When he said it, it hit a sore spot in my ego. I stepped back and recognized how I was feeling. That let me to thinking… is it the entity’s ego feeling hurt or threatened? I’m so lost. Thanks in advance!! 🫶🏻

I had a spiritual healer cleansed my home and myself! But at times I feel these weird sensations of something touching my behind or private area! Please i don’t want to keep bothering this woman who cleansed me but idk what to do or how to make it go away a lot together! Please any advice would be greatly appreciated and very help to me im new to all of this!

Hello all! I have recently started to work with energy, and especially working on receiving healing and protection energy from source. Whenever I focus on receiving energy (with my eyes closed), my eyes seem to involuntary blink extremely fast, almost like a pulsing being sent through them. Has anyone experienced this? Could anyone tell me the reason for this?

Thanks so much!

Hello everyone! I would like to know if people here have had demonic attachments in their lives and/or black magic, and what did you feel? Because I experienced both, it’s over now, but I’m still in recovery reconstruction of the traumas that it caused me. Those who have experienced attachment, or even possession, do we agree that over time it becomes more and more intense? Because I had an attachment for 6 years, it was starting to become a real horror, I was in a terrible state. I am sad that I could not be helped sooner. I was attacked from a young age, with people of demonic influence. Yes, for those who don’t believe in it, of course it exists! On the other hand, spiritual discernment is needed; not everything in life is demonic; there are also our egos, mental illnesses, etc. But spiritual evils do exist.

I’ve been on my spiritual journey for several years now. I’ve been told before that I have aura or star quality. However due to self doubt, low confidence, and being an introvert it hasn’t been something that I fully embraced.

This is something I would really like to learn how to master,increase, and hone in on. I don’t wanna get my hopes up or get ahead of myself but I want a fully radiant aura. One that radiates a strong presence that people can just sense when I walk into a room without saying a word. One that is calming as well mysterious.

What ways can I make my aura stronger both spiritually and practically? I tried looking it up but was left unsatisfied. Any tips or tricks that helped make your aura stronger or more noticeable is greatly appreciated. 

Thank you very much in advance. 

Sort of standing strong in your faith

whats the most powerful way to protect yourself energetically when someone abuses their power either in a workplace, or an ex relationship? Awhile ago my ex decided to go on a smear campaign against me and I took it very personal because we parted ways with the intention that we just weren't fit, but for me I just wanted to end the relationship as fast as possible because she was an energy vampire, and was just very unsettling to be around to the point where anytime we'd be together Id experience misfortune and bad luck afterwards. Eventually one of my good friends messaged me and told me that she was posting really horrible things about me, and it somewhat shook me up energetically, and emotionally. Is there a good mantra, practice, or visualization I can do to one cut cords, but also regain my powers?

I sometimes notice physical symptoms in myself that remind me of symptoms experienced by other people. The connection can feel very strong, even when I am not in direct contact with them.
I am interested in a spiritual approach to understanding my experience, especially grounding, healthy boundaries and letting go. At the same time, I don’t want to assume that these symptoms are necessarily being transferred from someone else.
Has anyone experienced something similar? What has helped you feel more grounded in yourself and less preoccupied with these experiences?
I would especially appreciate advice on how to let go of the perceived connection without becoming afraid of other people’s energy or constantly checking my own body.

Thank you 🙃

During the full moon, I feel like something is sucking amd draining my energy. Can anyone help me what to do, I'm really exhausted.

This happens way too much and only specifically to my electronics for me to see any logical explanation at this point. All of my electronics (computers, phones, anything that plugs in to charge, and chargers) just randomly get issues or stop working completely with no warning, and no one can give me an explanation. I treat them just like any normal person would, I never let them get damaged, I store and charge them correctly.

The most recent, I went to go plug in my phone with my MagSafe charger, it started charging like normal. I check back in a few minutes and it’s no longer charging. The charger won’t work in any outlet. There are no spots where it could potentially be damaged, and I just got it less than a year ago.

I break chargers like CRAZY somehow. Even sometimes just plugging them into my phone once then someone else goes to use it and it’s dead. I opened my laptop, and as soon as I open it, just a white screen. No keyboard combination or google research could help me. My old phone would freeze and stop working completely on random days, not even Apple employees could help me.

What could this possibly be and how can I stop, fix, or help it? It’s genuinely costing me so much money for no reason. I hate this.

Hello! Every full moon and the three days leading up I have electricity like feeling throughout my body, and a pull towards the moon. I literally wake up when it’s above my bed. Anyone else experiencing this and any tips on grounding each month to avoid the pain.

So I had my house cleansed and I’m still experiencing a cold spot on my lower leg. I don’t have any medical or mental issues whatsoever! How can I stop the cold spot from whatever spirit is around me? Any advice would be super helpful and greatly appreciated! I was also told I had medium ship abilities and psychic but I don’t want those abilities whatsoever so I don’t use them or even try to. Please any advice would be so helpful to me! I don’t have really anyone I can ask about this issue

Hi! Last year i got bullied in a way that triggered older traumas but that also were genuinely mean and abusive and that caused ptsd. Soon later i moved and begun to work in a place i hate for many reasons. I was alone a lot and i had really like, broken relationship ties to kiterally almost every person i know except for one friend. I bullied myself about the work by telling myself this co-worker that was unpleasant and smelled like shit or something, is my "soul mate" and i forced his energy onto me. It's toxic obvuously but it was meant to be this bully joke toward myself because after the traumatic events that happened I completely lost my self confidence and i begun to literally actively put me down. Anyways. I was very fragmented after all the things and apparrently my inner child thta has always struggled with maybe disgust/shame themes really attached to the thing and also believed that the co-worker (who also is 50, while i'm in my 20's), actually is some soul mate. Despite explaining thousands of times that he is not and trying to draw and do everything, a part refuses to ket go of the crappy energy and even identifies even more tightly with it. All the while i have some kind of telepathic connection to someone who actually might be some kind of soul connection; i end up sending very negative intentions towards that energy cord and a part of me rejects that and associates it with the shitty smell and unpeasant co-worker. So like, I mix people up. And i somehow don't get it, make the distinction, no matter how much i explain. It's been a year like this... I mentioned to a therapist once and have talked to a friend but idk if a more thorough thing would help. I have tried to go through my judgemental parts and thought about people being mirrors. I would not do the bullying again and i'm less judgemental than a year ago but it does not help with the inner child holding onto the shitty energy and the mixing up of people. I put a lot of pressure onto figuring things out and sorting out the energies. I wondered if i just eased out for a small time, do you think i would be more willing to let it go? Like do you think i'm mean and causing stress and anxiety that makes me or the child part, hold onto it even tighter? Or that the bullying made me distrustful of me? It's kind of sad. I saw this white pony that symbolizes me i guess and i see parts of like poop in it and it's not an image i created with some artsy or histronic self but something my subconscious or the child part created and my heart is actually hurt. :((

I love to answer genuine questions, it makes me happy. Also I often get the answer in a vision, so I learn more too.

It definitely feels to me that I'm the only person in the world who knows what the f is going on. No question is too deep or off limits (except trolls.)

Yes, I understand that most of you won't believe me and this looks to you like an ego/troll thing. However, I'm only answering questions. It's only useful to you if you're the type of person who can tell truth from the words, since I offer no evidence of authority, nor any particular reason why you should listen to me.
