Releasing Energy Blocks: What It Means and How It Can Change Your Life

Have you ever wanted to cry but forced yourself not to? The tightness in your chest, the lump in your throat, the heat rising in your cheeks? Or maybe you’ve been so angry you could scream, but held it in. How many times have you bit your tongue, choosing not to speak your truth, because it wasn’t the “right time,” you didn’t want to make a scene, or it felt inappropriate? Then later, those words you should have said keep playing in your mind over and over.

These are examples of energy blocks.

What Are Energy Blocks?

Energy blocks occur when emotions are trapped in the body instead of being released. In the situations above, when we don’t feel safe or comfortable expressing ourselves, we suppress our emotions, causing them to get stuck. In some cases, you might release the tension by venting to a friend, journaling, or working through the feelings at the gym. For others, it may take longer to process, and the feelings get bottled up and ignored.

The Impact of Ignored Emotions

For many of us, we were never taught how to identify or navigate our emotions in a healthy way. Instead, we were taught to push feelings aside, bury them deep, and pretend they don’t exist. But over time, this emotional suppression takes a toll. It manifests as anxiety, depression, physical pain, or chronic illness. We may not understand why we feel this way, but the hidden emotions we ignored years ago may be affecting our well-being today.

Sadly, modern society often encourages us to numb our pain, whether through medication, alcohol, or other distractions. While medication can play a helpful role in mental health care, what many people need even more than pills is a safe space to process and release those deep-seated emotions. People need the chance to cry, scream, laugh, and express themselves freely without judgment.

How Does Releasing Energy Blocks Help?

When I tell someone they have an energy block that needs to be released, it means there is something emotionally charged in their body that is holding them back from living fully. Releasing an energy block involves recognizing its root cause and allowing yourself to feel and process those emotions.

This can be uncomfortable. In fact, it can be downright hard, especially if you’ve avoided facing these emotions for a long time. In a session, I can help bring the block to the surface, make it tangible, and guide you through the process of releasing it. But in real life, the healing comes when you begin to do the work of making peace with the emotions tied to that block—whether it’s grief over a loved one, mourning an unexpressed childhood wound, or accepting the end of a toxic relationship.

You would be amazed at how much lighter you feel when you finally allow yourself to honor your true emotions. Physical aches and pains that seemed unexplainable may start to fade once you give yourself permission to truly feel.

The Gift of Releasing Energy Blocks

While it might seem difficult at first, releasing energy blocks is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself. These trapped emotions have been accumulating for years, taking up space in your mind, body, and spirit. Releasing them opens up space for healing, growth, and new opportunities. It’s like making room for fresh energy to flow, giving you the freedom to live more fully.

If you’re ready to release the energy blocks that are holding you back and start healing from the inside out, I invite you to schedule a consultation. Together, we can identify the specific blocks that need to be released and create space for new beginnings in your life.
