A rising number of peopleโparticularly practitioners of Kabbalah magicโreport their hair shifting to a striking silver hue after embracing specific rituals. This phenomenon, however, has sparked considerable discussion and some controversy regarding its causes, particularly in light of personal trauma and mental health.
Reports indicate a significant emotional impact alongside this hair change. One individual noted their hair's transformation following daily practices like LBRP and neophyte meditation for about a month. They express a confusing mixture of emotional release and joy, saying, "I feel like Iโm digging through all the mud and shit, then putting it on a bonfire. But at night before sleep, I feel more love than I know what to do with." Despite the overwhelming emotions, they seem to embrace the change.
New comments reveal a deeper perspective, particularly on the emotional state of practitioners. Here are the main themes emerging from the discussions:
Mental Health Implications:
A growing consensus among commenters advises taking mental health seriously, suggesting therapy could be more beneficial than magic rituals. One commenter warns, "Keep in mind that prolonged exposure to even just high anxiety situations can produce crippling effects. Drawing shapes in the air and chanting divine names won't help heal unless you engage more directly."
Stress and Aging:
Multiple participants emphasize the natural aging process and stress as contributing factors to hair color changes. "Aside from the natural advancement of age, it sounds like you are under enormous stress, which can certainly result in loss of pigment in oneโs hair," noted one community member.
Support for Healing:
Users strongly advocate for seeking professional mental health support before continuing magical practices. "Regardie highly recommended getting a professional assessment of mental health, if you haven't already," stated one commentator.
Interestingly, some participants discuss their emotional experiences and how these are intertwined with their Kabbalah practices. One user mentioned, "At least itโs working, lol. My hair rapidly went grey during my master's degree," linking their physical change to emotional stress in their life.
๐ง Many suggest that mental health evaluations are essential before engaging in further magical practices.
๐ Increased stress levels are recognized as a potential cause for color change in hair.
๐ฌ "Mundane first, particularly medical. Get a mental health assessment and therapy," highlights a common sentiment in the community.
As this dialogue continues, we might see a trend where practitioners start to acknowledge the relationship between their mental health, emotional states, and physical manifestations like hair color. Practitioners are urged to think critically about the balance between using magic for healing and the necessity of professional help. Will this focus on emotional well-being lead to a new wave of mindful practice in spiritual communities?
