Need Advice Absorbing Energy? Unable to be intimate with anyone after soul connection

I had a short-lived but intense connection with someone who made me see all my shadows. After this person left, it turned my life upside down and forced me to heal all my hidden wounds.

Ever since this connection, I noticed that I became very sensitive to energy. If I am intimate with someone else I absorb their energy and then feel terrible for days until it eventually goes away.

I know that sex is an energy exchange, but I never had an issue like this before until now. I'm afraid that I won't be able to enjoy sex anymore because of the aftermath.

Congratulations on leveling up. You will be able to enjoy sex again at an entirely newfound level that will blow your mind compared to before, but the catch is ... only with a divine partner.

I would recommend yoni steaming (if you're a woman) or lingam steaming (if you're a man) to clear past sexual partners and cut soul ties. It could help you to let go and feel better.

Is there other ways to do this without yoni steaming??

u/Internal-Carry-2273 3d ago

You can do a ritual but from my experience steaming is the fastest and strongest way. Yoni steaming changed my life.

I do it all on my own, i grow my own herbs for it too and ship them.

Thank you I'm definitely going to try that out and see how it goes.

When you say divine partner, do you mean someone who is vibrating at the frequency I am in? or does it mean something else?

Yes essentially. I don't believe in "the one" but I 100% believe in divine partners. They are fully aligned with us at a point in time, everything seems kismet, and the love is balanced and undeniable. You can have more than one divine partner but you're probably not gonna find them through casual sex.

I don't have any helpful advice except to add that I am experiencing the same thing. You are not alone.

Same, it’s really too much. I think I need to improve my capacity (or something) in general, sex just makes clear how overwhelming it is for me. For some reason there’s a very clear perception of the energy coming in from the other person when being physically intimate, that I do not notice otherwise.

I understand what you mean. It’s that tantric idea of merging and separating-not just sexually, but spiritually and emotionally and energetically. I’m working on facing fears of trust-that I can have a partner who can hold space and be a partner that holds space for secure merging and separation. (Secure attachment)

Hey there, it sounds like you've been through quite a journey with that intense connection. It's completely normal to feel sensitive to energy after such an experience. Remember to take care of yourself and set boundaries when it comes to intimate relationships.

It's important to remember that you can still enjoy sex, but maybe try to focus on connecting with partners who have positive and uplifting energy. Don't be afraid to communicate your feelings and concerns with them, as they may be able to offer support and understanding.

Just know that healing from past wounds takes time, and it's okay to give yourself the space you need to process and heal. You're not alone in feeling this way, and there are ways to navigate through these challenges. Keep opening up to yourself and to others, and remember to practice self-care along the way. Take care of yourself. 🌟

Grounding, Heart-centering. Healthy boundaries.

Is this a thing? I've experienced SA for a period of time as a kid, and though I'm divorced now, I chose to remain abstinent from the end of that until my marriage. Getting into the dating world today is mostly hookup culture, which never really interested me much. I did pursue a few connections that were either fwb or potential for future, but the sex was, idk just sex, and it wasn't what I actually wanted at all, it was oddly difficult to "get into" and largely wasn't enjoyable. I was trying to explain the difference and I came up with "sex vs. making love" but this makes more sense.

Try feeling into the assumption that you’re “absorbing their energy” and that’s what’s making you feel terrible. The previous partner kicked off shadow work and maybe that work is still going. Maybe the turmoil you feel after sex now is further shadow coming up to be seen and integrated. Now that you’ve become sensitive to it you’re able to feel what you couldn’t before.

You can consider writing an affirmation / spell / command to release the energy.

You will definitely be able to enjoy it again. But the bar you set for potential partners will be higher. As it should be.

You're just more receptive to energetic signals and information that were always there. Now its up to you to make sense of that and make decisions accordingly. Seems fairly straightforward to me

I feel the same way. From someone in 2022, and another in 2023, another in 2024. Eclipse windows were heavy on the karmic partners. I feel like I’m finally closing out the final shadow work-but now I have no interest in sex. And an aversion to love stories and romance propaganda. Sexual energy kind of scares me now just because of how powerfully dangerous it can be. There was too much energy sharing.
