i think i screwed up

[Cosmic Space Orange]

i was doing a spell with a friend that required us to gather all our energy into me during it i felt my body tense up with pain and i almost passed out then i was compleatly exausted with no energy left i could barly sit up

what caused this?  

[Atma311]

You were taking all their energy into yourself? Sounds like you were over-loaded, but I could be wrong.  

[Cosmic Space Orange]

yeah but ive never been overloaded before so why would it have happened now

Do you make a regular habbit of absorbing all of another preson's energy and combining it with your own? The most likely explination, as far as I can see, is that you over did it. Our bodies are designed to only handle so much energy at a time, and it takes training to be able to expand on that. Part of the problem may also have been how the energy was released. Your partner may not have had a great handle on how to release and transer energy, and perhaps you didn't fully ground yourself afterwards.

Sounds like over-load to me. I've only been minorly overloaded, and that was when I was new to energy work. Yes, you body does tense up, and in my case, some tears started to flow by themselves. Seems like you got a major case of it. You lost control, and maybe intuitively got rid of all the energy in your body. My advice, don't do any more energy work for a while, and carry around some crytals.

why would carrying crystals help

Then it definately sounds like an overload; you took too much into yourself at one time. I think Seraph had a great point about the crystals, since they can help to ground you and store access energies, along with a whole host of other goodies.  

[Nihilistic Seraph]

If you don't have any, go buy a couple, leave them in the sun for a while (a windowsill is great) and then just carry them around in your pocket or something. I'd suggest quartz and hematite.

My pleasure

Leaving them in a window every now and again during the full moon would be good for them, too. If they ever start to feel kind of funky, try that to cleanse them, or run them under some running water (from the tap is fine). You'll probably want to cleanse them before using them, as you have no idea who's been touching them and carrying what energy.  

[Nihilistic Seraph]

Yeah, I forgot about that, whoops sweatdrop
