May I ask how old you are? I think it's important to learn how to set your own limits and protect your privacy when you grow up. You probably are somewhere in your teens, the perfect age for acts like that ;) But depending on how old you really are, you will have different possibilities to act on th...

I wouldn't have told my family, I would just stop hiding my BOS and start practicing whenever I like. But they never were interested in what I was doing and they never would have asked. And even if, just saying I'm meditating or I'm trying something or I'm starting a new secret religion to rule the ...

Hi Laura, I'm sending you a bit of energy and also a small advice. Bipolar gets worse if you don't have enough omega-3-fatty-acid. Studies have shown, that the depressive phase in bipolars get better if they consume way more of it. You could ask your doctor for medicin or supply youself with fatty f...

I wish you the best luck in helping Maybe if you stick around, we should make it a sticky thread

I think this split in your emotion is very important. One part wants this exact thing to happen and the other find it gross. One part wants a date, wants sex, wants a relationship and others don't. It seems related to you getting a crush easily but also end it easily. Some part in you is longing a r...

Visualisation includes the sense of vision. It's hard to keep a specific picture up. It's always a bit changing or blurry in the edges. Some people think they need to do a perfect picture in their mind before they can do magic. That's not true. Imagination can include anything: vision, sounds, feeli...

As someone who never was really suicidal, I have a question: Is it really helpful to here advices from someone who is "been there, done that"? I also never was really depressed, but I've heard, that it's impossible for someone with a depression to even imagine that there is a different and better fu...

Did you copy a book? ^^

I won't read it, it's too long. Hope it still got good qualities

I like it. I hope this will ehlp others, too

Because you didn't ask him to help you You only asked if he is able to. Not just shoot out questions, try a bit of talking. Asking for advices, get things explained to you. Sometimes guides tend to answer very short and direct, if this doesn't suffice, ask for more information.

I'm happy you like the idea of the stones :) If you don't feel at ease with visualisation, try imagine instead. That's not the same, visualisation takes energy, imagination not. Imagination is more like daydreaming, just thinking baout things, not try to create them. Everyone can do this in the firs...

Wear one if you like :) There is nothing wrong with doing so. You should probably avoid a magickally charged one. But as a newbie, you probably can't charge it now and buying charged ones are extremely expensive (if they are good), so you wouldn't buy one by accident :) But I don't think just wearin...

If you are interested in sensory deprivation, just do it. At least it's fun, and maybe helpful ;) You seem to be able to project unwillingly? I would start with identifying the projection triggers. Writing a diary about this or think about everything that comes up. When you identified them, you can ...

This thread is about Shadow Work as the spiritual version of Shadow Work by the psychotherapist Jung, who invented the term "Schattenarbeit" (Shadow Work). Since Jung and me are both German, maybe I just translated the term wrong and this form of therapy has a different name in the US. I would be gl...

It's always bad to be dependent on an unhealthy substance. Religion doesn't play a part. It's a different matter if you think you should consume something (weed, fungi) as part of a ritual, this is not being dependent, that's using something sometimes for a purpose.
