The other day, I got to be a part of an amazing group healing experience with two receivers and some other energy workers. One of the receivers was energetically starving but open, and so she got pretty amazing by the end: a complete remission of pain in their neck, a dramatic lowering of pain in their knees, and just an overall lighter feeling. The other was also starved for the energy and love, but their energy to me felt like they had stuffed all their memories into theri abdominal area, turned off the lights, and wrapped their energetic arms around themselves.
So when this person told us, “It feels really good and loving, but I only feel a few tingles of warmth,” I wasn’t surprised. Other healers felt blocks and shields; I saw their own hands, hugging them into a bubble of safety. They wanted to be free of it, but didn’t realize that the block was themselves and a decision they likely made when they were 8 years old.
I bring this up because I see this all the time, especially among the helpers and mission-driven professionals who know that they need to be doing more and feeling more, but can’t seem to “get out of their head” enough to do it.
It looks like:
- Feeling the emotional anxiety you feel mostly in your head (jaw, headache, neck pain, throat constriction/heaviness)
- Saying things like “I’m stuck in my thoughts,” or “I keep looping…” or “I can’t get out of my head” or “My mind won’t let me…”
- Dissociating from your body because you don’t feel good in your body
- Not feeling aligned with your sexuality and centeredness enough to connect
- Using your ‘head voice’
- Getting easily distracted by what’s around you, the feed, etc so that you’re swimming in public anxiety rather than being tapped into the deep resonance of your True Self and the mission you’re accomplishing
- Getting energetically “burnt out” (hello, psychics!) because that little bit of energy stored in your headspace finally depleted
- People telling you they just can’t “connect” with you — and you want to connect — but you either don’t know how or it’s too painful
- Not being as intuitive as you know you can/could be, but not feeling like you know how to connect to it (Also, trying very hard to “open” your third eye, but feeling blocked overall)
- A constant undercurrent of negative thoughts, what ifs, self-doubts, and worries
You are, my friend, being a head in a jar.
The problem comes when you then try to make yourself more of a head in a jar to solve it.
Some people think you need to positivity your way out of this. So you drive your worries deeper into your body, perhaps telling yourself that if you just ignore it and “think positive,”, you can make it go away. (Just put your head under the blanket and the mosters will be gone.)
Others think these blocks are separate from the person. So you do all kinds of work to try to break the block, thinking that the block is something negative and harmful to you and a sign of your deep brokenness and trauma and inability to connect. So you do everything possible to shame this block into compliance. (Just a spanking will do the trick, eh?)
Yet others think that they can just outrun it, like they do everything else in their life. Just stay busy, just hustle, just keep going for that next goal while you white knuckle reality the whole time. Eventually, the fear will go away because being able to do something must be indicative that the problem is gone, right? (Oh look — here it is, showing up elsewhere in your life! Must be a different problem for a different coach.)
The answer is always going to be that you need to tap back in.
When you get this right, you’ll likely even forget that this thing that is literally destroying your life right now ever existed in the first place. I’m not kidding. There are clients who have literally forgotten the pattern that bothered them so much. You’ll be able to tap into your intuition and trust your gut more because surprise, you’re actually talking to that energetic space within you now. And all the OPEs—other people’s energy—that bother you so much right now won’t, because you’ll know how to stay connected to your infinite True Self and the abundant energy that being tapped in provides.
That’s why in my coaching practice, I won’t tell you to hustle more. And sure, we’ll get to positivity, but it won’t be that feigned, forced kind. It’ll be from that place of calm and peace that’s within you but which you’re having a hard time accessing right now.
Together, we will:
- Identify how your unique pattern is showing up for you. How is your energy flowing? Are you connected with your body and if so, where does that connection stop? Is it your throat? Your heart? Your gut? And how is this showing up for you in your daily life? Where is anxiety, fear, limiting beliefs, self-sabotage, negative self-talk, and resistance holding you back over and over and over again?
- We then actually work on releasing these things, one by one. It’s the equivalent of you unhugging yourself and turning on the lights, so we don’t do it by attack but by an amazing amount of self love, subconscious reprocessing, and guilt/shame releasing. We reintegrate this part back into you, release the energetic charge from old memories, and give you new, empowering beliefs that color your whole timeline.
- Install new habits into your life so that you build and maintain a strong connection to your energy source, your power center, and your True Self. This lets you move forward through life with more center, rather than being toppled over with each new breeze. You’ll also learn skills for working through the emotions as they come up in new situations.
- Vivify and connect to that mission you know you need to achieve, so you can make it happen in the real world. You’ll be so magnetized by this future that even when you do hit bumps in the road, you’ll be able to move past them quickly and with ease as just a small course correction you need to make to get back to the Great Work.
- Have fun! 🙂
