what are energetic blocks and how to recognize them

In very simple terms, an energetic block means the energy is not flowing easily. Blocks form when the body cannot process or integrate the trauma, chronic stress, repressed emotions or negative thoughts.

Let’s say there is an obstacle in the vein and the blood cannot flow freely. At that point it slows down, the excess of blood starts collecting and creating a ‘lake’. The lake gets bigger and bigger; the body shows it to you as a bump; painful to the touch.

Who hasn’t experienced the fatigue and sleepiness after a meal? This is an indication that the body sent all of its energy to the stomach to work on the food. The degree of food-coma depends on what you ate and how much life force energy is in you.

Ever felt sleepier and more tired after sleeping the whole day; and who hasn’t done that? This happens because your life force energy slowed down to that degree that it is idling there like a computer cursor waiting for a command.

Have you ever had any pains, stiffness without hurting you physically? Well, that is a pain coming from an energetic block.

Energetic blocks are not only physical; they can also be psychological. Like not deserving a good job, not deserving a good relationship, telling yourself that you can’t do this. We self-create blocks with our words and statements, like ‘I’m tired of this’, ‘I’m sick of that’.

Many psychological blocks got labeled because the society likes labeling. Once there’s a label, it feels like you’re broken, but you’re not. You’re blocked.

It’s not just in my work that I see the blocks. I see them all around me, and the most common is ‘fear’.

People are not doing things because they are afraid. We distinguish between a real fear and a psychological fear. With my work I am affecting the psychological fears, anxieties, limiting beliefs, negative thoughts, patterns, etc.

A real fear could be ‘lightning storm and hurricane winds’ where you seek shelter to survive. These ‘fears’ are part of the survival instinct and are good to have.

While psychological fears are played by our minds; like a very common fear of speaking in public. We tend to freeze. The inception of this fear might be when you needed to present something in school, the school mates laughed at you, asked some real difficult questions and maybe you didn’t know the answer, because all eyes were on you.

If nothing like this happened in your life, and you still have this kind of fear, it could be another underlying fear is the trigger. It is possible that it is an ancestor’s block or pattern.

A great-great-great grandmother experienced a trauma and she built a certain belief. She passed that belief to her kids, and her kids to their kids and so on …. You get the picture. And now, you – that kid – have this same belief, because you learnt it from your mother. That’s how the ancestor’s blocks are passed onto generations.

A client reported to feel guilty doing certain things in free time and couldn’t figure out the reason. During the clearing work, it revealed this feeling of guilt was coming from a child-father relationship. After clearing it, the client reported having less weight on the shoulders and feeling lighter.

The tricky part? These ancestor’s blocks became the belief, and they are now your truth. You don’t question them because you’ve lived with them your whole life. They’re invisible to you. You think ‘this is how I am’. You don’t think of them ‘this block I inherited’.

In the worst case/scenario if blocks are not cleared, removed, the body functions in a constant fight or flight mode, constant worry. It’s under stress, the cortisol levels are high, and doesn’t have time to regenerate, it will eventually break or get sick.

Often, if the body doesn’t get enough rest to regenerate and heal, it will get injured.

Keeping your body under constant stress is the same as keep stretching the elastic band. When the elastic band cannot endure any extension more, it will snap.

Same with our bodies – our magic machines – they heal while sleeping, resting and relaxing.
