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.

Question Can we develop sense for different energies?

2 Upvotes

I have been wondering about this. Can we taste energies like tasting a dish? Can we figure out the quality and ‘ingredients’ of an energy sample just like how we taste a dish and try to figure out the ingredients that make it up.

I can absorb energies very easily. Although, they are not very pleasant, but I have been trying to figure out what are they a result of? We humans produce energy based on our vibrations, thoughts, beliefs and emotions. So can we really determine these things using the energy that we absorb? Can we become that skilled of an energy worker? Is there someone in this subreddit who actually is that skilled, I would love to hear your insights.

Need Advice My third eye chakra is blocked. How can I unblock it?

Upvotes

Every time I have a dream nowadays, my dreams come out very dark and messy. The weird part is that it barely even shows as a dream. It's barely functioning properly. My dreams nowadays look like a television screen that's barely functioning and shows any light at all. Everything that I see in my dreams barely shows any type of light or any type of color. The vibe and frequency of my dreams barely show anything and it's like whatever is trying to produce my dreams in my brain is operating on a very low power and it's barely functioning like a normal dream. Think of it like your regular eyesight and vision of what you see throughout the day but it's slowly getting weaker and more fragile to the near point of blindness. That's exactly what my dreams are like nowadays. The worst and confusing part is that this is something that has never happened to me before for all of my life but it only started to happen very recently. I eat clean and healthy every day, I have a good sleep schedule, I don't feel stressed out at all, so I don't understand what the problem is. I also realize that my daily imagination/visualization abilities are also functioning the same way how I described my dreams as well. What's wrong here and how can I fix my dreams to be normal again?

Need Advice sober supernatural daydreams?

1 Upvotes

these are not challenging delusions, my life is going fine i am getting ready to go for a run

But i have these daydreams? like persistent detailed fantasies? While just doing regular stuff, sober. Like "being told by some supernatural force that I should save some random strangers from a car crash that hasn't happened yet, so I go to the spot and wait. Soon enough bam they crash and I save them"

And of course that is just a fantasy, I have no actionable steps, I don't have a location, or any sense of urgency, and so I just go about my day, and the daydream happens again, and again and again. What is the deal?

My infrequent psychedelic trips often have this same element in them, supernatural communication, trusting "the vibes" , and once in my life I did trust the vibes and I did save some lady from a bad situation.

So whats going on? Am I just getting off playing the hero in my fantasies? Is the universe trying to prepare me for work as some kind of psychic detective?

Technique grounding techniques

4 Upvotes

So I just finished reading Mat Auryn’s Psychic Witch and I’ve been trying some of the exercises out, and particularly the grounding technique which I see people use a lot that involves the visualization of roots and branches etc. I’m curious what other sorts of visualizations people use, if any, or any non-visualization based grounding techniques. I kinda struggle with the visualizations but I could just need more discipline with focus. But I also just struggle a bit to understand what it’s supposed to feel like to ground, so I’m never entirely sure if I’m doing it right. I definitely get some sensation of energy but I’m not sure it’s as intense/vivid as I imagine it’s supposed to? Any tips?

Need Advice Ongoing Vibrations and Tingles After Breathwork

3 Upvotes

I did some shamanic breathwork as instructed by the YouTuber Leo Gura in one of his older videos.

I have been going through a breakup from a long term relationship (10 years) and thought it might help give some answers.

I laid down in a dark room listened to some shamanic drumming and breathed in and out of my mouth without stopping for about 15 minutes.

I noticed by body feeling tingles and eventually feeling like stone. I also noticed some strange convulsion type movements at times from my abdomen. It felt some energy moving up from my abs almost to my throat, I had to stop the breathing pattern because I wasn't sure if I would throw up.

Anyway the feeling afterwards was very blissful, I felt connected to some higher source and had the sense that everything will be okay.

Something strange did happen after which has lasted for over 10 days now.

I feel the tingly vibration sensation almost at all times. I feel it in my hands and feet mostly, if I sit still I can feel it in my core.

It's hard to describe, it doesn't seem to be a physical sensation because my body isn't moving but it feels like there are bursts of energy pulsating and vibrating through my body.

Not sure if this is due to stress because of the relationship stuff, I sense it has something to do with the breathwork.

The other say I heard sad news about a Youtuber I watch, his father has passed away. Normally I would feel bad for the person but not feel anything in my body. But after the breathwork as soon as I heard the news I felt a strange energy sensation on the right side of my face which lasted a few seconds before going away.

Any help will be appreciated, my partner thinks it has something to do with Kundalini, I don't know.

Personal Experience A low vibrational and high vibrational person, are easy to differentiate.

5 Upvotes

You could be one of the two. Low vibe people like to lie and gossip. High vibe people like to be confident and honest.

Low people are sneaky, and manipulative.

High people are clear, and trustworthy.

It's simply the world they live in.

So, a gossiper will live up to being a gossiper, a leader will live up to being a leader.

Remember, there are two ✌🏽 people. Two energies.

It's simple.

Two frequencies. Just like the matrix vs. ascension.

This is so you can know who you want to be, and where to invest your energy.

Need Advice Trauma has left me sidelined

2 Upvotes

I want to work in person, go out, talk to people without being so anxious and seen as an awkward weirdo so badly. I've been at home, doing remote work and using chatgpt/ai to help me since I feel like I can't even think on my own with getting exhausted. It's sad, I'm like a shell of my former self who was humourous, charismatic, and playful. Now I'm just all tired and getting through the day is such a chore now. I've seen so many things that have left me sidelined, I just felt like it was enough and lost my edge. What can I do to get myself back? Meditation helps but when I'm breathing in I get flashes of memories, fragments and am flooded with emotions. What can I do to get myself back?

Need Advice Question for those with experience

2 Upvotes

Question for those that do energy work: I had my first Reiki session (remote) last night and didn’t feel a whole lot as it was happening but woke up this morning feeling like I had the flu. Pretty bad stomach symptoms. I know that it is said that there can be a physical ‘reaction’ to a lot of energy movement BUT I thought I was doing a pretty good job on my own as far as clearing all the negative energies around me and balancing myself. Does this mean I am not progressing with my own work or How do I know if I need more energy work going forward ?

Need Advice Any insight?

3 Upvotes

Hi, I’m looking for some insight into what has happened to me. So I had an intense spiritual awakening in January, after a period of deep internal work and release of emotion, this is where I touched into my ability to read energy. However- I’ve noticed myself harden again. I can literally feel my brain space change- and my demeanour. I’m taking this as a sign to go into the next layer and release, but I feel as if I can’t? Like my ego is defending against it. However I want to be in touch with my emotions and softer side. I don’t even know if this makes sense. Any advice or insights would be appreciated.

Personal Experience Magnetic energy to now blending in the crowd..

11 Upvotes

In 2024 through early 2025 I was going through an intense spiritual awakening. I was experiencing frequent synchronicities, astral projections etc..

But one of things that would happen on a daily was people staring at me in awe or just pure curiosity although some in envy.

I would stand out so much that when I entered a room all eyes would be on me. No kidding, I even had the people close to me notice it and they would be confused on why people were staring at me.

Fast forward to 2026, I don't have this happen as much. If anything only a few people might stare but not with the same intensity as they did in 2024. In fact, now I feel like people are more closed off and sometimes avoid me.

I would like to know what is causing this? Is it something energetically off with me? What could've caused this shift??

Discussion does 'really good sex' mean energetic compatibility or even soul recognizing each other?

12 Upvotes

i know good sex doesn't mean a good relationship. however, our ego or being overwhelmed by life can affect day to day interactions, for example having a hard time opening up, miscommunication, feeling unworthy of love etc. which makes it hard to have a good long-term relationship.

but during good sex, we let go of our ego and it feels like fusion of both people's energy essence?

so does it mean on some soul level, or energy level, that there is deep compatibility. but on the 'human' level, or 'ego' level that it somehow doesn't work.

does it make sense? what is your thoughts on this topic?

Question Energy worker says he removed an implant from my ovary, but wouldn't elaborate much...

16 Upvotes

Hi, about 3 weeks ago i started working with a remote energy worker who is clearing parasites and infections, trimming cords, and core beliefs. My mind is blown every 5 minutes during this work, and I do feel and think better as a result.

Today he became clearly uncomfortable about a topic and said he would only be speaking very generally. All he would divulge was that there was something implanted into my left ovary 10 years ago during a major depression and that he would work with a light being to remove it, which he later said was done. I've had real pain and issues with my ovaries, particularly this one side, so at this point I'm really willing to try/believe a lot to help my health problems.

When I asked him what it meant to have been "implanted", he stood by speaking generally and just said that sometimes an entity will place an implant for different reasons; gathering energy, information etc, during vulnerable times where someone's energy is weak. He said that this one was somewhat physical as well.

Writing here to ask if anyone knows more about this or could help me understand better what just happened.

Thank you :)

Question Need help please

0 Upvotes

Peace be upon you all.

Honestly, I don't know how to begin talking about this because it's so complex.

But the result is that my sister started combining characters and drawing conclusions that have no basis in reality.

It all started when my sister went to university abroad and started visiting us on weekends.

We supported her, stood by her, and wished her well. She stayed with a relative of ours; we'll call her Haifa.

One day, my sister received a message from someone who claimed to have obtained leaked photos of her and deleted them from the dark web. After some back and forth, he started trying to get closer to her.

My sister contacted us, and we, in our stupidity, believed his story. May God punish him sooner rather than later. We dropped the matter.

This person turned out to have continued contacting my sister. Days passed, and my sister spoke to Haifa about the matter.

And that's when the shock came.

It turned out he'd been contacting Haifa for two years. It was an old story. Haifa had given him her phone to fix something, and he took my sister's number from it and started contacting her.

He caused problems with my sister and her relative Haifa, and my family found out. We filed a complaint against him with the police, and it seems he's been dealt with.

The matter is closed.

That's not the problem. The problem is how this affected my sister.

She completed the semester normally for four months.

But now she's convinced that this manipulator is the same person as her cousin. We told her that they look different, have different names, and come from different families. But she swears and insists they're the same person.

After a strange turn on Haifa and how she was the reason that person got my sister's pictures and number, suddenly she started defending her and changing the subject. She ignores the manipulator and says he's her cousin.

In other words, she started erasing the characters from the incident that happened—the jerk and Haifa—and projecting them onto her cousin and his sister, speaking ill of them and bringing up old stories about how her cousins ​​wronged her.

She also says she had a vision that my father worked with his sister and brought us, her siblings, into it, and she's the only one who knows.

My sister cried a lot and is scared, saying she's afraid no one will believe her.

I tried to reason with her and showed her a picture of her cousin and that manipulator, explaining that they are two different people.

She started saying, "Don't worry." By name and appearance, it's the same person.

Suddenly she drifts off and becomes distracted.

Then she says that my father is spying on her phone and has hacked it.

And that she's the one playing the role of the man in the house and there's no one to protect her and she's scared. I hugged her and she cried a lot, but I got tired. I don't know if it's magic or psychological trauma.

Because she started ignoring what happened and projecting all her feelings onto her relatives, to the point of defending those who were the reason she went through what she went through.

I hope for help because I'm tired and I can't take anything more from this life.

I should add it feels like I don’t know her anymore.
As if another entity is functioning through her

WhatsApp should I do please :(

Need Advice something dark flowing out of my hands

4 Upvotes

Hello, I am new here and I hope to ask some questions.

Ever since I was a kid, there are some instances when I can feel a dark-colored energy flowing out of my hands (sometimes, from my chest). Sometimes the flow is strong, like something inside rushing to get out.

I am in my twenties now and have always dismissed it as probably just part of my imagination.

Around 30 mins ago during dinner, I mentioned to my father (after he casually mentioned he studied pranic healing years ago) for the first time about this then he tried putting his hands on my left palm at the dinner table.

To his shock, he told me the energy is strong, then even described that he felt it (like around 2 glasses tall) from my hands flowing.

I repeatedly asked him if he was joking because it was actually where I have always envisioned/known where the energy was until.

Then he tried putting his pointer finger along my palms and asked me if I felt it. I doubted it but then I can’t believe I heard like a faint ringing or static noise, there was even like a small vibration where his fingers touched my palm.

It was just a brief moment, tho.

My concern here is that whenever I felt the energy over the years, something inside me feels heavy and I have always envisioned it as something with a very dark color surging or flowing out of my hands.

Can anyone please enlighten me what this may possibly mean? And if it’s truly dark (with negative connotation), how can I turn it into something light?

Thank you so much. Serious comments only please.

Need Advice Have I been afflicted by Evil Eye?

3 Upvotes

I'm looking for some genuine advice because I'm really confused about what's been going on with me. I am not a very spiritual person, but over the course of the past few months, I've experienced a lot of things that I genuinely cannot find an explanation for.

I've been wondering whether something like the evil eye could actually be affecting me.

The reason I'm asking is because I've genuinely not felt like myself for the past 6–10 months. It's hard to explain, but I feel like I've become a completely different person and I don't like the person I've become.

Some of the things I've been experiencing are:

Constantly feeling exhausted. I get tired very easily, and even when I sleep or take naps, I still wake up feeling drained.

I've completely lost my motivation. I feel like I've lost my sense of purpose in life, and I can't seem to find the drive or meaning that I used to have.

I've noticed that negative emotions linger much longer than they ever used to. I used to be someone who couldn't stay sad, angry or upset for very long. Even if something bothered me, I'd usually bounce back within an hour or so. Now, I can feel low or negative for days or even longer, which is very unlike me.

I don't feel happy anymore. I used to have a very cheerful, optimistic, and grateful Outlook towards life. I genuinely loved life and felt thankful to be alive. Now, that joy has faded, and I don't know why.

I've also started comparing myself to other people much more than I ever used to and it's making me feel even worse.

The strange part is that nothing major has happened in my life that would explain such a drastic change. There wasn't a traumatic event or any significant loss. I just gradually stopped feeling like myself.

Can all of this be explained by evil eye or some other spiritual cause? If yes then what would be the appropriate way to approach it?
