When I was younger, my college teacher seduced me on purpose. I didn’t know what was happening. I found myself feeling more and more drawn to him. I was a newly married woman who loved her husband and her Christian God, so the situation with my teacher was very confusing. I couldn’t make sense of what was happening and I began to believe that my teacher was my soul mate. It was the only explanation I could think of that would explain why I was so drawn to him. I am embarrassed to admit this now. It took many years for me to realize that my teacher who became my LO1 was not my twin flame or soul mate. He was an attractive man who found me attractive and he wooed me. My body’s hormones responded to all of the attention and I developed feelings for him. That is all. He was never my soul mate or twin flame because those things are not real. We don’t have soul mates. I cringe at the thought now, but I really believed it back then. I am beyond grateful that I chose my husband and I put boundaries in place with my LO1. I have a wonderful marriage because I did the right thing (remained faithful to my vows). I want to caution young people not to throw away a marriage because of the twin flame feeling. It is just a feeling and it will pass. Do the right thing no matter how you feel. Be true to your vows. This feeling really will pass.

Happily report that my 4th mediation of today finally defeated a bad headache.

I rarely experience headache or migraine even during the lowest point of LE (more dizziness, mild depression, anxiety or panic attacks). After last couple days of increased rumination over coming unknowns and distracted-meditation sessions — the focus drifted too much, able to sense Qi circling in the head but unable to move it to feet, I got an unpleasant headache this morning.

After three 20-mins distracted meditations and Narc Mom’s “ever-urgent” needs, the headache got worse. So I used my “Mighty” consciousness to focus on (what? I’ll tell later) during the 4th session. Excessive Qi in the head finally reached and warmed up especially left feet and dissipated.

Now, I feel clear headed, confident, loving and giddy, a kind of New Age lovey-dovey. My reality remains exactly the same, except the fear of unknowns is calmer and a bit distanced.

So far to me, this concrete, highly-demanding coping tool is as effective as understanding and self-awareness of LE. Methods of physical, mental, or spiritual alone are never enough to me.

“Tomorrow is another day!” I strongly feel I can handle it fine with all my newly gained skills and strength.

@DrL

Please allow me to make a joke here: when encountering LO #7 again, I’ll send some Ki to him through my eyes (can’t use the hands at all), making him tumble, dance, sing and headstand, and limerent back for me, how about that? 😂 I’ll have photos taken if possible for your future research!

3 true incidents here for speculating Ki/Qi or mysticism (I am aware you’re not into body-mind duality yet):

My own possible “Te-Ate’ (‘hand-touch’) and “Toh-Ate’ (‘hit from a distance’), incidentally “applied” to 3 horses — I rode one for a short lesson outside Oxford University, one free-rein in Yosemite Park, and one zebra, 20-25 meters away inside a fence in Phoenix zoo, AZ .

DrL,

You might be interested in this article about Qi/KI to traditional science thinking

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1475930/

Just found a Qi Gong video (in English) online. After all, it talks about connecting Qi with the “heaven” and earth.

Is anyone on this site practicing some form of mediations that is helping easy limerence pains?

I remember now: during the years of taking SSRIs, I tried to meditate (different kinds) several times; but I could not feel Qi’s movement AT ALL, though I had ideal SEs. My head was always foggy, I could sense little emotions of any kind.

I thought that those Meds was “taking over” my organic system and messing up my senses.

When seeing sweating, sitting meditators (Zen practitioners) in some documentaries, I believed it’s true, since myself experienced it but not to that high degree.

Qi’s flowing does raise body temperature, which, I think, can be detected by a highly sensitive thermometer.

Dr L

Thank you for framing those questions in scientific terms.

Adding one frequent, undeniable phenomenon: when qi flew well only on one side of my body, other people definitely detected: the right feet was warm/sweaty, while the left one cold/icy-cold.

I don’t consider qi as “an external form of spiritual energy”. Only with my active meditating or conscious focusing, it could be felt, directed or increased in intensity.

It’s still so mysterious! I will keep practicing alone my cocktail— meditation for the benefit of reducing stress and clearing mind.

Just as for the dialogue in the post above, a scientist would approach this question by looking for objective evidence for the existence of Qi that isn’t “a human who had been primed to experience the sensation, reported feeling it”. Where does the energy come from? What form does it take? How does it propagate through people? How did anyone discover it? Can any change in physical state be detected when it is “flowing”? Why does it not apparently conform to the laws of thermodynamics like all other known forms of energy?

Undoubtedly, when people mediate or engage in ritual, they can experience a wide range of sensations and cognitive phenomena that must, ultimately, have a physiological basis. But, that is not evidence for the existence of an external form of spiritual energy.
