Psychic bonding can occur between friends, family, people linked through past lives, lovers, co-workers, people you see everyday, the random guy down the street, plants, animals, etc.
This can happen for many reasons; past life connections, having a child, becoming friends with someone, falling in love, having blood ties, twins, talking to someone randomly on the street or on this site, sitting next to someone on a bus, working alongside with another, through stress and stressful events, hostage situations, having dependent relationships with others, etc. The bonds can form both in person and over the net if enough time is spent talking and interacting with the other individual.
In these bonded relationships we can use our five senses, ''intuition, body language, telepathy, empathy, imagination or primal instinct'' to show how far we really are bonded with our partners. It can be to the point that we can feel our partner's strong emotions even without having any kind of contact with them during their emotional periods. I have experienced this myself actually. Along with that, you can sense when they are tired, sad, happy, it doesn't have to necessarily be when they are emotionally charged. If the bond is strong enough then you can feel each others energies easily, and it can help you ''find'' someone if you are looking for them to help them with healing, shield practice, etc. It can also help you to bond more as friends, lovers, family, etc, and give you a happier life.
Some of the benefits of being psychically bonded are: ''love, protection, healing, care and intentions can be sent and received'', when they are separated from each other for a long period of time the two partners can immediately fall back into how they were before they separated, they can be together even though they are far apart, they exchange energy and can help each other out after doing something major, it builds trust between people and affection, they can also build relationships and make them stronger, keep the relationship strong regardless of distance or time (and possibly lives), help co-workers work together better, to help with survival, etc.
Some negative aspects are: the bond may become addictive, it may cause one partner to become dependent on another totally causing problems in the future if the two split from one another; it can become like bondage in this way, it can leave one left hanging after the relationship ends, it can go so far as to cause depression and other such effects, it can destroy a person's self-esteem, ruin health, cause nervous breakdowns, pick up other's illnesses and pain, you can have a psychic warfare; one causing barriers unconsciously while the other causing attacks unconsciously, being drained by others, leaving vulnerabilities open, etc.
Ways to strengthen them:
- Spend more time with the one you wish to be bonded to.
- Building up a cord/link between the two of you.
- Doing a bonding together ritual.
- ''One way that you can attempt to strengthen this bond is by trying mental projection. Have your friend hold a small object in their hand so that you cannot see it. Get them to visualize the picture in their hand, and mentally try and project it to you so that you can guess what it is. Both of you must be willing to devote your full attention to the experiment, and focus on sending and receiving the mental pictures. After a while, change positions with you holding the object and projecting to your friend. You can also perform this experiment with a simple deck of playing cards, with each person choosing a card and projecting it, and the other trying to determine which card it was.
- Another project that you can try is drawing pictures. While sitting in the same room as one another, face away from each other so that you can draw your picture without your friend seeing it. Each of you should focus for a few moments, and then draw the first thing that comes to mind. When you are finished, compare your drawings to see how similar they are. Once you are successful at performing this in the same room, try doing it at further distances, with your friend in a separate room.
- Finally, you can also try reading each others thoughts. Have your friend focus on a memory that evokes strong emotions within them. This should be a very strong memory that they can easily visualize in their heads. Focus on your friend, and try to gain what images you can from their mind. Tell your friend what you are seeing, so that you can determine if you were accurately able to glean parts of their memory from their mind.''
A way to break them:
- Visualize the link and cutting the link between you two.
- Spending a lot of time away from the other person entirely.
- Doing a bond breaking ritual.
