What you describe experiencing with your last lover, that energetic interweaving, is what I’ve experienced with my husband. I’ve never been able to put into words what those particular experiences are — thank you!

And thank you for mentioning the Buddhist belief of 7 years of auric connection. I’m going to learn more about this because I’m 13 months away from the seventh anniversary of a sexual assault that caused intense ptsd. The idea of seven years feels hopeful… like, even if it’s not true, I’m wondering how it would work for me to begin working now, 13 months in advance, on clearing whatever remains of that human’s energetically… hope is healing.
