I made an accidental purchase and immediately cancelled. Still waiting for 117 usd after multiple conversations with the support team and my bank. They swear they sent it, but it never showed up in my bank account. Never buying from them again

I understand it when it comes to foreign/made up names, but there are times when their names have a corresponding kanji. My guess is that it could be for the sake of speed as they have to write dialogues and such, but I wanted to see if there was anything else

I’ve fostered a few over the last year and they all smell like sweet cinnamon to me. Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, to be precise

Most of the results seem to be by Qiyoga with LuChin. I haven’t to admit I haven’t watched that many videos of hers, but I’m not big on yoga at all and I’m not interested in practicing it (the ones I watched did seem to have some yoga poses.) I’ll still give her a try though.

I want to expand my library so I’ll be happy to know what your favorites are :)

I was raised catholic and my mom was always a kind of a ‘dig deeper’ person, and got into esoterics while she was doing her masters degree. I was really young back then but eventually picked some of her books and also learned tarot from her. She’s not into all this stuff anymore but I’ve had valuable lessons thanks to her. One thing that I really vibed with was gnosticism as it’s a much better and more interesting interpretation of christianity from my pov. It also allows the belief of other minor deities which works well for me. While my focus is not really christianity nowadays, it helped me come to terms with all the junk that I learned from catholics.

Interested in knowing if there’s anyone else in the community who has gnostic belief to whatever extent

I live a couple hours away from the White Sands national park in NM. I’m trying to set up protection around my house and I was wondering if I could put some around the area, maybe along with eggshell powder and/or salt? It’s a desert area so it’s more related to earth than water. It’s sand made of gypsum, which google says protects local plants and animals. It’s a really beautiful place.

I’m mostly wondering about people whose native language is not English, but also wondering if English speakers like to use other languages such as Latin

My first language is Spanish and I feel much more powerful/comfortable speaking in Spanish, even if I’m fluent in English which is the language in which we can find most information in, but I end up translating it most of the time (things that come in rhymes can be a fun challenge.) Currently spending some time in the US so I’m considering communicating with spirits in that language though

I’ve seen this a few times and I’m kinda worried I could attract a malefic spirit so I’m working on setting up protection before anything else occurs

I also want to make sure my pets and family are protected as we live in the same house, is there anything specific I can do to protect them or should I focus on setting up protection around the house?

Just curious

So I just had my second acupuncture session (Five Elements) and, after looking at some rescue cats’ stories on IG, I started to feel a STRONG wave of… sadness? Love? Compassion? I feel it so strongly in my chest. Also a strong need to cry. I often feel this way when looking at the stories of these babies looking for a family to adopt them, but never with such intensity. I also felt a tingly fizzy feeling on top of my head during the session, which was super pleasant. Any info on what this means?

Overall I’m really happy to feel like I’m releasing and tapping into such a strong emotion. I tend to repress them all the time. I feel angry most of the time due to my history of abuse, but I’ve heard that under anger lies sadness. I’ve done EMDR before and while it helped, I never had the experience of suddenly connecting with strong emotions like others describe when doing this type of therapy.

Have you had any similar experiences with acupuncture or drEMDR? How long did it last? How did it affect you in the long term?

I’m not sure if I’m confusing compassion with empathy. Regardless of what it is, I feel overwhelmed with a need to cry due to the amount of love I feel and the need to express/share it. I can feel it in my chest.

I was just looking at some cat shelters on IG where they share the cats’ stories and I just feel a strong need to adopt all of them and love them forever.

I feel somewhat similar when I think of my dad who was abusive during childhood, but now that I understand his experiences and the abuse he also endured I feel this way towards him.

Compassion feels so heavy to me, to the point of being painful and covering the spectrum of other emotions as well.

Am I confusing compassion and empathy? What does compassion feel like to you?

I follow a few local rescuers on IG and some of the stories truly break my heart. I just saw one of a baby girl who needs to wear diapers due to an accident she had as a baby and that a lot of people turn away because of that. It’s also generally known that adults have a harder time being adopted. My first cat was an old girl who only got to spend two years with me, but I could feel her gratitude for us taking her in. She was a really loving cat. I currently have two that I got through the CDS but I’d like to have like, I don’t know, at least five once I’m in a better place economically.

It just breaks my heart looking at all these beautiful angels looking for a family. I wish I could do more for them. I currently foster with a local shelter whenever it’s needed and I regularly donate to the local rescuers I mentioned cause they need financial support. But I want to do more! I feel such a strong need to love all cats on earth. I don’t know how to deal with these feelings

Mostly interested in physical sensations. I did a ritual with him yesterday and I felt a soft pressure all over my head. Maybe somewhat intimidated as well? I didn’t necessarily feel welcomed but I may be misinterpreting

How have you experienced his energy and how did it change over time?

Just did a ritual with him yesterday. I felt a soft pressure in my head, and it certainly was intense.
