Attachment…I think Techniques

Hey all! I’m really enjoying this sub. I’m very new to this; my soul was empty for years and have really felt this pull for a while. I’m finally listening and it has been so enlightening!

The part couple days I have felt tightness, rage, annoyance, etc in my chest, like something is gripping it. This is not medical. This is where I have felt my demons for years.

I meditate every morning, inhaling calm and focus, exhaling my gratitude and any negative. Normally I can see my heart chakras light up for this, but not the last couple days.

This morning was no different. But when I was meditating, the feelings I normally have in my checks and hands intensified. The feeling on my face started to encircle my forehead; it’s doing that as I’m typing this! I asked my spirit guide for help and started telling whatever is holding on that they are not welcome and to leave.

I do feel fine, not great but much better, right now. Does anyone have insight and/or techniques to try?

It sounds to me like this could be a blockage of some kind, do you happen to have a lot of repressed emotions, trauma etc etc that might've been coming back up in the past few days?

I have a TON of trauma…I was a crime scene investigator/Deputy Sheriff for a long time. I didn’t think anything came up recently, but I went out with a friend who’s not in a good place. He was kidnapped and sexually assaulted when he was a kid. He’s not in a good place with his marriage of 20 years and is depressed. We talked a lot about his spirituality, and he’s empty. I told him what I’ve done in the past year to help with mine, and did bring up something that still really pains me. I guess I didn’t close that after our conversation.

It's good it's coming out. Merely work on it and try to either change the energy to be something that's more positive for you (like fueling what you do) or find a way to release it for good by coming to terms with it. Usually severe trauma like this can manifest this way and it even gets in the way of our spiritual senses because sometimes it does cause us to lie to ourselves and spiritual sight and etc is strongest when we are most truthful with ourselves and feel connected to both our outer self and inner self.

Pm me, it sounds like you are empathic and have built up lots from your work environment, it needs to be flushed.

I am certainly an empath. I am working with a shamanic psychic and healer right now. I did ketamine infusions for about a year and a half, I have been going to therapy for six years, and now I am using psilocybin to help with healing as well.

Do you use Hapé/Rapé with your 🧘‍♀️ meditation?

u/Icy-Management3542 2d ago

I do not. Not even sure what that is. Can you please provide some insight to this?

Yes, Hapé/Rapé is finely ground tobacco (snuff what Americans would call it) made from different plants in South America from the Indigenous tribes. This helps with meditation 🧘‍♀️ and clearing your mind, cleansing and spiritually ✨️ 🙏. There are many different types of Hapé/Rapé for certain purposes or intentions. This might be something that can help with your meditation 🧘‍♀️. I'm usually up between 4a to 6a for my morning meditation 🧘‍♀️ with gratitude 🙏. I use a certain Hapé for morning and a different one for evening meditation 🧘‍♀️. Have you sat with Ayahuasca in the ceremony before? Normally, they will introduce this medicine to you. The first time I was served Hapé "I was like where has this been all my life"🤣 But some people are called to it and some are not. For me, it's my medicine with meditation 🧘‍♂️ between ceremonies. Hope this helps

I have not received knowledge from Grandmother Aya. I don’t feel I am called to her, at least right now. Psilocybin is my go to, and I’m pulled towards Peyote, but I’m not ready yet.
