You're Not Broken, You're Blocked
For years, I believed something was essentially wrong with me. The anxiety, the fear, the patterns that wouldn't break—I thought I was broken. So I did what any logical person would do: I tried to fix myself. Therapy, self-help books, mind control techniques, meditation apps. Nothing worked. And the more I tried, the more broken I felt. Until I learned the truth: I wasn't broken. I was blocked.
The Lie We've Been Told
People around me were asking questions that made me feel broken. ‘Why don’t you seek help?’ ‘Why are you like this?’ The society subtly tells us, when something isn’t going smoothly or the way it is supposed to go, then you need fixing.
These questions pushed me deeper into self-reflection. Many times, these questions and self-reflections brought up tears. Salty drops of shame and confusion.
Sometimes my reactions were completely unexpected. Once back at my place—my happy cave—I’d lick my wounds after another fight. Replaying the conversation, wondering ‘what the h* happened?’ Why did I react in such and such way, why such and such person brings out this kind of me? Many times, the inner questions “what is wrong with me”? or “am I broken” came up.
These burning inner questions drove me to search for the answers. Deep inside in me I believed there is a way. I wanted to find it. I also believed it should be simple and fun.
I started reading books and applying the techniques from the books. I set up the daily reminders to do the techniques. I recorded motivational audio clips so I was able to listen on the way to work.
I was listening to self-help audio books. I listened certain audios on repeat to engrave it into my subconscious.
I vividly remember watching “The Secret” and hunting every negative thought, every limiting belief, every pattern, the need for gratitude. They said repetition was the key. It wasn’t.
I found myself in a vicious loop, inside an intelligent maze where it felt like I was chasing my own tail.
Sound familiar? I wrote the full story of that loop, and what finally broke it. Here.
When I stopped putting in the additional noise, the inner programmed voice became stronger and stronger “you’re no good”.
Each time the solution didn’t work, I looked for something different. I followed the advice: ‘if you want to change, you need to stop doing what you’re doing’. So, I was looking for new and different paths to help me on my way to get better.
Then – after so many tries – I found my final solution, when I learned that there was nothing wrong with me, that I am perfect the way I am, things started to change. To fully accept this, many limiting beliefs, worries, patterns, fears, negative thoughts needed to get released. I realized I wasn’t broken, I was f*** blocked.
The Proof
A person at work pulled the very last nerve from my little toe. I was like that character Anger from the Pixar animated film ‘Inside Out’, my head was exploding, I was holding myself back because I didn’t want to say something I’d regret 2 minutes later.
My whole inner body was on fire….ready to burn all around me. In the evening, I was still able to totally replay that emotion. The funny part, I didn’t know why I reacted in such a way.
Long story short; I cleared the anger that evening during my clearing work. The very next day, who do I see the first thing in the morning???? …..I’m sure you guessed correct. Exactly that person. I smiled and expressed the greeting.
Inside of me…..nothing, nada, zilch….no reaction at all. I was shocked in a good way.
I could say that anger file was deleted and removed. That was a surgical removal, fast n’ complete.
This was the proof I needed that this clearing process is working.
Curious what exactly got "deleted"? This article breaks down what energetic blocks actually are, and how to spot them in your own life.
The Truth About Blocks
From the day we are born, we learn from our parents and grandparents, brothers and sisters, teachers, kindergarten and school mates, college and study buddies, co-workers and bosses. And let’s not forget about the TV, movies, social media, etc., all teaching us how to act and react.
We’ve been told by our parents so and so, then this got repeated, and voila a limiting belief is born. I’m not going to go into too much details, because this blog is not meant for this. I’m listing and explaining what those are and how they initiate.
Many times children are being told or ordered ‘don’t cry’, and their fears, anger, emotions needed to be suppressed. These unprocessed emotions later become ‘emotional baggage’ and lead to self-sabotage, anxiety, depression, or even physical illness. Emotional stress increases cortisol, causes inflammation, and affects immune system, therefore those trapped emotions disrupt the body’s natural balance.
I had nightmares for years. The same ones, over and over. I’d wake up frozen in fear, heart racing, and not wanting to go back to sleep. I didn’t know why I was having those nightmares. That is unprocessed trauma; a distressful experience your mind buried but your body still carries.
The body and mind continue to react as if the threat is still present. This trauma is not just in the brain, it affects the body too. Many people cope with such trauma with burying it deep into the memory, forgetting about it. And this….this is one of the major disruptors in our lives. It hits us without us knowing what it is (why did I react in this way, why do I react to this person in such a way, why can’t I just relax, why am I having these repeating nightmares, etc …..). These are the blocks running our lives.
Each and every ‘dis-order’ gets a label; today there are 161 distinct categories, and this number is not final, because they keep labeling new dis-orders like mental, behavioral, mood, psychotic, personality, and neurodevelopmental disorders. 161 ways to tell you you’re broken. I hate this kind of putting labels on us. We are not boxes to be filled with pills. Not everybody should be labeled!!!
All these negatively affect your body, your health, your wellbeing. Because the emotional stress and trauma affect not only the mind but also the body in the following way: we become unmotivated, sleepy, there can be pain like headaches, stomach pains, shoulder and back pain. It has scientifically been proven that unprocessed trauma shows as physical symptoms.
Let me give an example: a person goes through a trauma, and end up believing that he/she doesn’t want to see that anymore. What are the chances this person will start having sight issues?
The belief became an energetic block.
Managing vs. Clearing
There's a difference between managing and clearing. Traditional methods—therapy, meditation, affirmations—help you manage. They teach you to cope, to control, to minimize the anxiety. But shamanic clearing? It clears the blocks at the root. It's the difference between putting a band-aid on a wound and performing surgery.
Managing means using certain strategies to cope like being mindful, doing grounding exercises, self-care, and avoiding places, situations, people. Do you want to do this your whole life? Asking yourself if the places and people are ok for you to go there? Persuading yourself that everything is ok, all the time? Well, this works on the short run, but long-term who knows….
Clearing trauma, anxiety, fears, limiting beliefs, negative thoughts, patterns at the root is something completely different. Clearing at the root doesn’t mean you will remove your memories, it means you will remove the body’s and mind’s response to it. It’s like seeing your ex with no emotional response; in a relaxed state with ‘yeah, it happened, so what’….or seeing your nasty co-worker every weekday. Imagine you can smile like ‘nothing happened’.
That's not a fantasy. That's what clearing does. And if you're wondering why every other method you tried didn't get you there, this one's for you.
More Proof
I experienced many proofs that the clearing at the root works.
The biggest one – everyone faces it – are the family relationships. My brother could push all of my buttons at the same time. It wasn’t fun.
Today, no more. With clearings I also restored my inner power, I was able to set the boundaries. It all became much calmer and more peaceful. I call that peaceful space ‘the eye of the storm’.
I’m at peace, in ‘the eye of the storm’, most of the time. Why most of the time? Because it can still happen that something pulls me out of ‘the eye’. If this happens, I recognize it immediately, and clear it right away.
Today, there are no more what-if coping questions in my mind, nor managing band aids, just peace, life is drama-less. And, in any odd case I would want some drama, I can easily step out of ‘the eye’, but I know how to return. And this….This is GOLDEN!
