This 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.

[Fear Mongering] You're going to burn in hell and entities are going to devour your soul! You will sicken and your hair will fall out! 1) It's bullshit and 2) I said it, now you don't have to. Fear mongering will get you banned.

[Rude, Angry and/or Offensive Comments] Comments will be removed and users will be banned. There is a very low tolerance for that behavior in this sub. Be helpful or begone.

[Gatekeeping] This sub is for sharing information and knowledge, not for growing your guru status or to stroke your ego. Gatekeeping will get you banned.

[Promotional Posts] No longer allowed. The Sunday experiment was not clearly beneficial to the community.

[External Links]

Posts with links to external sites and subreddits will likely be removed if they are, in any way, deemed to be more about promotion (business, self, blog, youtube channel, etc) than about sharing information in a helpful way. Even posts with helpful commentary will be removed if they contain promotional material.

[Healing Request/Requests For Energy]s

Requests for healing or energy are not allowed and will be removed. These can be posted over at r/energy_healing.

[Healing Offer]s

Healing offer posts will be removed and may get you banned if it seems you are using this sub to build a following or to convert interested parties to paying customers. Offering remote reiki or distant healing service for money will get you banned. Alternatively, one can post [Healing Offer]s at r/energy_healing.

[Reading Offer]s

Reading offers/Free Readings should only be made in response to requests and not as a new link or text post. Reading offer posts will be removed and may get you banned. Alternatively, one can post [Reading Offer]s at r/energy_healing.

Books of Interest:

These are the books that I've found to be the best in their field on their particular subject. They are easy to read, motivating, clear and cogent.

The Visceral Experience by Daniel Barber, was written by the founder and prime mod of this subreddit. It shares the values that this sub expresses. If you are new to or just starting out with energy work, this is the book you want to read.

A Psychic Bedside Reader by Wayne Martin. Tips, Techniques, Meditations, and Healings for the Novice and Experienced Reader and Healer; a how-to for energy management for people like us. It teaches many of the techniques the author learned in the clairvoyant training program.

The Energy Cure by William Bengston. If you are a skeptic and looking for scientific proof that energy heals, pick up this book. It includes overviews of research in which mice with aggressive breast cancer genes were cured in full with only healing energy from hands.

Adventures Beyond the Body by William Buhlman. A howto book for out-of-body exploration.

Instant Rapport by Michael Brooks. Rapport is a weak and fragile type of energetic connection, but it is a good starting place for learning how to extend your energy beyond your own body. This book is a very interesting read and a great place to start.

Life Rules by Yehuda Berg. An easy read on the nature of reality from the viewpoint of the kabbalah written for the layperson. Effective energy work requires an understanding of reality that is not taught in schools.

The Essence of Reality by Thomas Daniel Nehrer. Another mind expanding treatment of reality from the author's perspective. A great start to a journey of understanding.
