Our subtle energy bodies and energetic systems are often in a very unbalanced state. Ancient wisdom within healing systems such as traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurvedic know that everything is energy and have a great depth of understanding about our energy systems, life force and energy flow of spirit through and as everything.
When on a healing path or going through a spiritual awakening energy will be attempting to come to a place of balance and inner peace within and through you. This balance is found by shifting and releasing energetic blocks and imprints in the body/mind so that there is a coherent flow.
When people are experiencing stress, tiredness, burnout in their career, anxiety or emotional imprints that can’t flow through and out easily, like guilt, sadness, frustration and anger their energetic systems get blocked and emotional, mental, spiritual or physical symptoms are experienced. Emotions are energy just like everything else and are looking for expression and release. When your energetic system is unbalanced emotions can become unbalanced and either repressed or excessive.
If a spiritual awakening is evoked within you then the energy of awakening itself starts to move at some point. It is subtle for some and extreme for others. This energy with its innate wisdom when it moves will come up against trauma, blocks and disharmony, all in order to release and heal them.
Trauma release, grounding, acupressure and acupuncture, somatic trauma healing, breath work, yoga, Qi gong and energy healing can assist the process but you must be very particular about choosing someone who really understands and is skilled with the nervous system and movement of energy otherwise they can in fact push your system into further disharmony.
When you are more in tune with energy you can begin to be extremely sensitive to its expression and flow within yourself, within your relationships, in houses, buildings and places as well as with other people. When there is incoherent flow you will begin to sense it. It is a very interesting area to address in your close relationships. Can you notice if you’re losing energy when you go into relationship with certain people? Is it due to leaky boundaries? Are you grasping at others energetically yourself?
As spiritual awakening matures and your healing deepens you will find your energy not leaking outwards nor collapsing inwards, but instead finding a place of peace and balance within the totality of what you are.
