Welcome to Gaia! ::

That's how I see mine. heart

When I feel them, it's as if my energy flow has altered and starts flowing in the shape of wings. I don't normally have wings on the astral because they annoy the hell out of me and I hide them. But I haven't learned to control my energy flow, so when I feel them I can't seem to do anything about it.

Ack...not literally or anything.

Have you ever heard of the phantom limb syndrome? Where people lose a limb, but they can still feel it there, like an arm or a leg or a finger? Well...some people have a similar experience, where they perceive limbs that were never really on the physical body to begin with, like tails or wings.

This is for a variety of reasons. Some people have those limbs on their astral bodies and the feeling carries over. Some people who believe themselves to be otherkin have the residual feeling of them left over from a past life, kind of like how there have been cases of people feeling stabbing pains for no medical reason that is connected to a past life injury. Some people can kind of 'force' themselves to have them, like on the astral, only they force the feeling of their presence in regular waking life.

I'm not going to openly share my opinion on this. I don't want to get ridiculed or anything. ;___;

But, I'd love to talk privately on it.

@Blind: I guess it would off set the natural balance. But, if you were living constantly with that inbalance, it would almost feel natural?

;o

Wings are supposedly supposed to cause back problems too. I don't see how that would happen though. Considering it's just energy. ;;>>

Completely disregarding my opinion of otherkin, wings are a 'useful' astral or phantom limb. I don't know exactly what you would use them for, but I've heard of people developing tentacles from the solar plexus. They are useful in manipulating or incapacitating people. I read an account of a girl imbilizing a mugger so her and her friend could get away.

I get the sensation of there being something on my back from time to time, two places just below my shoulder blades. I don't know if it means anything, but I'm not really one of these "OMG I WUZ A DEMON IN A PAST LIFE" kind of people. It normally goes away after a few moments and it hasn't had any detrimental effects.

I read that too. I'm aware of seeming to have energetic wings, like what I guess would be a phantom limb. I've considered ideas and uses, but I've never been inclined to try employing any idea I've had for something I could do with my wings. Most of the time I'm not aware of them, its not a big concern of mine really, and I've figured trying to use them for something would be more like adding a(n extra) middleman to something.

Though, ShadowHail, I'm under the impression you're initially talking about the wings just about everyone seems to have. Am I wrong?
