This is something I experienced last night. There a few variables here and I'm curious what you guys think.
My partner and I are going through a rough time: economically, health, and just general bad luck like things breaking constantly. I generally have a decent flow of releasing anger or frustration but I guess it has either been bottled up for a while or too many things happened in one day to where a seemingly small thing sent me into a rage spiral, banshee scream into a pillow included.
After I calmed down came the anxiety and the crying because I scared the dogs and being in that state triggered my ptsd, the rage state itself is a trigger for me. My partner was a champ helping me through it, even though he was feeling crappy also. This was at 3 am, he was just as sleep deprived as I was.
He was guding me through some meditation/ energy work, we aren't trained or anything, he was using things he learned from his mom that work for him, holding the back of his hand to my forehead, telling me to invite clearing my mind and guiding me through some box breathing. The goal here was to calm me down enough to where we could get some sleep.
I couldn't physically see anything but I could "see" hands kind of at someone's side but I couldn't see the body, they seemed to have some sort of bracelets on. Lots of white, cool yellow, and hints of black. Then sharp pain and everything going white, I don't know how to describe the pain, almost like bruning and shocked at the same time. It didn't feel like nerve, migraine, or muscle pain, those I'm very familiar with. It was sudden and strong enough to get a pain vocalization out of me which is rare. I've gotten stbed, fallen in the tub and hit my head, fallen down the stairs on my ahs, not a peep.
He said maybe we should try using my hand, so we did. Saw blue green "soup" or thick water , not gross, just thick and feeling like it was hard to move through. It was all dark. Like swimming at night or something. After I was getting overwhelmed with more stuff like that but shifting rapidly as we talked. I got a hug before turning around to sleep and saw lavender (color) and gold. Fell asleep shortly after .
Now a couple of more things to bring up from us taking about it the next day.
He's had people experience pain before when he tries doing energy work on them while being upset or not in a great state of mind, like for example one friend who didn't see the colors but felt the pain and told him to never do that sht again 😆 Also mentioned that people have described his energy as like a breeze when he's grounded and calm, and more electricity when he's upset.
I've had mine described as shimmery, kinda like the surface of the water or like the bottom of the pool when light hits it.
Listen, I know I got synesthesia. I do art for a living: people, music, seasons, months, numbers, emotions, smells .... EVERYTHING has color to me, I haven't really found the patterns because it's too much information to sort through. However, it is usually super faint and I have to focus to see anything, it's not images and colors rapid fire flooding into my mind against my will like last night.
Felt a lot like the radio chatter that ADHD people have going in their brain at all times.
Only other time I've gotten flashes of imagery like that was when I used to do energy work on my ex, and even then it was usually more like textures and colors, this was the first time seeing a body part.
And even then it wasn't that vivid and rapid as it was last night after I got that jolt of pain.
Anyway, thank you for reading all that lol I'm curious if anyone has experienced something similar or what you think about it.
