Hello,I'd like to run an idea past FTMs and female reppers. Ideally those who have not yet gone on T. I used to be very into energy science & research (such as Reiki) and I noticed an odd pattern of FTMs having a particular chakra blockage. I know that a lot of people reading this are going to roll their eyes at that, but it's true. It was very odd. However, that was my own interpretation and it was not something I generated statistical proof of.Would you be interested in an experiment in which you are paid to visit a local Reiki practitioner and the results are recorded? If I do pay for this, I would prefer to have a decent sample size and would try to control for as many external variables as possible (such as severe physical health disorders). I would not be performing any Reiki myself. You would be paired up with a local practitioner.
>>41117930Reiki is creepy will not read your text. Go away
>>41117930How can I sign up for thisMy T arrives in 2 weeks
>>41117930>thinks chakra is scienceLmao
Holy gigafembrain
>>41117930That sounds fake as fuck but vaguely interesting
>>41117982Science is a method that can be applied to anything. It's just formulating and testing hypothesis.
>>41117930and which chakra do you believe to be blocked?
>>41118625>>41118065You laugh, but if chakra theory does prove to be a valid approximation of reality, that does make it valid in a way.Newtonian mechanics can accurately explain many things, though it is not technically how the universe works. We need relativity for things newtonian mechanics can't explain, and now it seems even relativity is incomplete sometimes.
>>41118658i for one would like to see if Chakra theory can approximate things, i am a sucker for weird theories lol
>>41118658you didn't answer my question. which chakra?
>>41118724idk no one has taught me Chakra theory before. OP needs to coherently explain how they think Chakra's work in order for their theory to be tested
>>41118625In my experience, often the sacral chakra although there can be other energetic issues too. >>41118759The basic theory is that you have an energy body that body produces an auric field and chakras act as energy clusters within that energy construct. They are the points at which your soul attaches to your physical body. A chakra can become 'blocked' through multiple different means (trauma, energetic ties to others, childhood experiences, internalizing negative views, and sexual partners). There are also some who would argue past life experiences play a role and that many natal / biological women who experience both gender dysphoria and attraction to men have carried over certain issues from a previous life as a man.
>>41117930please tell me this creature is ready for PLAP
>>41119527>the sacral chakra
>>41119527if i understand how this is supposed to work correctly, your theory is that one of these chakra's being "blocked" leads to gender dysphoria.Your means to test this, would be to supposedly subject someone to a treatment which would unblock this chakra and see if it affects the GD?
>>41119581*your hypothesis, not theory.
>>41118658Exactly, chakra theory is essentially an approximation. >>41119581>if i understand how this is supposed to work correctly, your theory is that one of these chakra's being "blocked" leads to gender dysphoria.Short answer: yes. Long answer: it's a two way street and gender dysphoria can act as a negative feedback loop exaggerating the blockage which caused the dysphoria in the first place. >Your means to test this, would be to supposedly subject someone to a treatment which would unblock this chakra and see if it affects the GD?Yes. I would also want to see if multiple independent energy workers report the same / similar things in the patients. There has already been some research into energy work and gender dysphoria but it almost exclusively involves natal men (William Baldwin was a doctor who successfully alleviated autogynephilic urges in several individuals, for example). The only cases that I know of involving women were performed by Dr. Carl Wickland in the 1920s and his clients reported a drastic decrease in their urge to cross dress. However, he was not a reiki therapist and specialized in releasing negative attachments.
>>41117930>chakras>scienceLMAO
>>41117930What's the chakra difference once the ftms do pass?
>>41119527If I don't experience any attraction to men can I still be cured of my dysphoria?
>>41119818In my opinion it is certainly possible, although from what I have read and observed it is harder. If your dysphoria stems from internalized homophobia or comparing yourself to cis men and feeling that you have to meet a certain standard for women to truly feel attracted to you, that is going to take a greater degree of inner work and healing. I am aware of detransitioners who identify as lesbians and who feel that their dysphoria has faded away. So it can definitely happen, but I am personally most well read on cases involving those with heterosexual urges.
>>41120008I don't really know where my dysphoria comes from, I've felt it before I even knew I liked women (preschool).
>>41120632Hope it's okay to ask a few questions. Is your dysphoria mainly physical or does it tend to center on social roles? Do you have a parent who is highly narcissistic or highly detached? Are you interested in trying visualization exercises and affirmations?
>>41119527Wait, so you’re saying that only straight/bi FTMs (the ones into men) are going to have their chakras blocked?
>>41120782yes, and it's their sacral chakras that are supposedly blocked.now, if you know about chakras,
>>41120782They're more prone to it. Those who are exclusively lesbian are more likely to have biological causes (such as Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia) or energetic issues that are more complicated than a chakra blockage. >>41120845I'm guessing you're commenting on the fact that the sacral chakra is associated with sexuality. I can go into detail on theories on that if you like or not.
>>41120945from where i'm standing this seems like "pooners need to get plapped" with extra steps
>>41119755poonsciencesame shelf as tarot readings manuals
>>41120998If a natal GD female is attracted to men, then having a healthy sexual relationship with a man who loves her (after she's at a minimum begun working through and processing some of her dysphoric feelings) is okay. Hooking up with fetishists and weirdos is only going to exacerbate problems. There are a whole host of reasons for this. To any FTMs who are considering hooking up with men - stay away from the fetishists.
>>41120756My dysphoria is both physical and social. Mainly physical, but that also affects social as I know my body is perceived as a female's. Both my parents are kinda normal, my mom can be slightly overprotective since I got sick a lot as a child but that's it. I'm interested in trying anything as long as it gets rid of this
>>41121392>stay away from people with paraphilia>suspiciously describing nearly every male and like 11 females
>>41117930And let me guess, your dick is the chakra unblocker? Funny
>>41121410The first step that I would take is to make sure there aren't any medical abnormalities. Many women with PCOS and CAH have reported that they feel more at peace after having their condition treated. I would also recommend having your thyroid numbers, vitamin levels, and liver enzymes checked. I work with nutritionists (which is how I first came across energy work, and at the time saw it as "woo woo ridiculous") and met many women who got sick a lot as a child and thought they'd "grown out of it" but then they'd get tested and have nutrient deficiencies, hormone imbalances, or poor gut microbiomes (for example, giardia infections). I would also try visualization and mantras. They will not hurt anything. One is White Light visualization. You just want to meditate and imagine a small point of white light inside your chest. Imagine it slowly expanding, pushing away any negative energies, and surrounding you. You can include positive affirmations such as: I have authority over my mind, body, and energy. I return any negative energy to its source. Any energy that is causing me to feel gender dysphoria is not allowed to be here. This tactic is sometimes even used by those who believe they have spirit attachments (the book "Spirit Release Therapy" is not perfect but it details the overall theory). Consciously set the intention and follow through. Do the exercise every day for a month. 100% believe in you anon.
>>41121416Not all men are AGP weirdos who want to hook up with ftms for shits and giggles.
>>41121619But, nearly all the weirdos who want any sniff of cunt, especially if it's attached to crazy bitch, will be maleWe have to hunt for our food
>>41121694A minority of men are bad but that doesn't mean all men are. My advice to "gaydens" and "theyfabs" (exclusively lesbian > FTM individuals obviously won't have this issue) is to avoid AGP males who fetishize your dysphoria. That is only going to make things worse. If you have low self esteem or view yourself as a "crazy bitch" then you need to work on that before you date.
>>41117964I would need more time than 2 weeks to organize this.
>>41121777Why do keep labeling poonchasers as AGP? Why wouldn't it just be a guy who needs sweet, sweet cunt in a nice little female frame?
>>41117930no it's retarded sorry reiki is nothing but asmr to me
>>41121811Because chasers are, by definition, looking for women who are dysphoric which means they are often either: A) Looking for someone who will avoid judging their own eccentricities, such as being a dope head, porn addict, etc. B) They are turned on by the "man in a woman's body" stuff, which is likely an outward projection of their own inner AGP.
>>41121848Have you tried it a few times?
>>41121904I've watched it on youtube. it's kinda funny but I also feel bad for the people who believe it getting scammed.
>>41122088>watched it on youtube Yeah... that's not the same as doing it IRL. Just give it a shot with an open mind. Worst case scenario you spend an hour in a relaxing setting.
>>41121848i went and rewatched my favorite chakra asmr video after reading this thread lmao
>>41122088It's scam but people like coping, that's the power of beliefkind of like transwomen thinking they're literally women
>>41122268If you believe you have a soul, wouldn't it be possible for someone else's energy field to impact yours?
>>41122279They just make up a billion copes to make it work, mentally
>>41122301Tbh people who dont believe in it will also make up a billion copes why it wouldn't work. You just have to try things for yourself sometimes and decide if its real.
>>41117930how much money, travel requirement, time commitment? USA
>>41122682The way I envision it right now would be cheap & low time commitment. Do an initial survey to measure dysphoria & overall psychological state > go to locally provided paid for reiki sessions > do another survey and describe one's overall state of being.
>>41123752if reward's worth the hassle, i bite. drop form link
>>41122151keep coping i guess
I'm a little intrigued in your study but you're not gonna make me not go on T and I already have plans in motion to get T, dunno how long it's gonna take but I'm at least going to have that first meeting with a doctor in a couple days to talk about hormones
>>41121594I know I don't have PCOS nor CAH, although sometimes I do suspect I have a hormonal imbalance. Also, I've read about gut biome and already tried that earlier this year. As for the visualization, I'll try it now. If this works and I can finally be a normal woman you are a geniusOtherwise kill yourself
>>41125851virgin loser nerd im getting mu t in 2 weeks beacuse i diy gay poop loser
>>41125938the moment anything falls through, I’m switching to DIY. I was going back and forth between if I should DIY or go through a doctor for a while, my main holdups being that doctors are scary and I don’t want to be on any lists (mostly the first thing, I’m already pretty fucked on account of having been to a psyche ward). My main reason for going through a doctor is because my mom is really against DIY and I don’t want her to view my transition as anything to be afraid of. When I was debating everyone I asked (including friends from friend group that has people who DIY estrogen, including making a thread on this board) said to go the doctor routegood for you though
