How Do I Know If My Chakras Are Blocked?

Have you ever had the feeling that something just isn't quite right? You can't always explain it, but you know you're not feeling like yourself. You may feel anxious for no obvious reason, or you wake up tired when you slept well, or something in your body aches and you don't why. You may simply notice you're more emotional than usual, or maybe you just don't feel much of anything anymore.

Here's the question many people ask me: Does this (any of the above) mean I have a blocked chakra?

My answer often is: Your energy is always involved with how you feel.

But the real answer requires more intel.

Your body is incredibly intelligent. It is a network of information in constant communication with you and your environment. The question is whether you're listening.

Heyloa, What Does "Blocked" Really Mean?

When I say a chakra is blocked, I don't mean that an invisible wheel has stopped spinning.

In every case, a blockage means emotions are involved. And usually, they're being held in the body. It means the body's communication system has lost some of its coherence. Information isn't flowing as efficiently between your nervous system, your emotions, your energy field, and your physical body.

When communication breaks down, the body adapts. Your brain is always trying to keep you safe and your body will follow along and adapt.

Sometimes that adaptation looks like fatigue. Sometimes it becomes chronic pain. Sometimes it shows up as digestive problems, anxiety, autoimmune conditions, inflammation, or an illness that no one seems able to fully explain. For me when I learned to find blocked energy for myself, it first seemed to feel like I was forging through a strong wind, being sort of lost....ungrounded. I watch for those signals now and respond right away with grounding techniques and tools that move energy through my body.

You lovely human, please remember: Your body isn't working against you, it never was. It's communicating with you.

The Biggest Mistake I See

One of the biggest mistakes people make is assuming every symptom belongs to one chakra.

A headache doesn't automatically mean your third eye chakra is blocked.

Difficulty speaking up doesn't always mean it's your throat chakra.

Our bodies are a small part of a system of energy that is so much more complex and intelligent than that!

Every person has lived a different life; you have your story, I have mine. We all carry different experiences, different emotions, different beliefs, and different ways of protecting ourselves or believing that we are right. That's why healing is never one size fits all.

You are unique and the dynamics of your biofield are very intimately your own.

What Years of Working With Women Have Taught Me

After working with thousands of women in a career that spans four decades, and as someone who can read energy, I am continually reminded of how much emotion can be held inside one woman's body. If I could make that last sentence come off the page in neon, I would.

We become incredibly good at gripping what hurt us.

>Sometimes we hold onto an old betrayal.

>Sometimes it's grief.

>Sometimes it's fear of being rejected again.

>Sometimes it's simply the habit of protecting ourselves because life taught us that it wasn't always safe to relax.

But my girl, here's the thing, many of these protective patterns served an important purpose at one time. They helped us survive.

But eventually what once protected us becomes the thing that is now limiting us.

We stay blocked because what's on the other side feels unknown, and the unknown can feel uncomfortable...even scary.

But I promise you this:

On the other side is the real you.

*More freedom.

*More peace of mind.

*More love.

And you so deserve it.

What I Look For First & How You Can Do It

As an Etheric Clairvoyant (body reader), I have a layer of information that other people don't have. I can often recognize where someone's energy is struggling long before they tell me their story.

To read energy, it takes keen awareness, but the body will give you clues you can spot visually. See if you notice any of these:

The three tell-tale body signals that energy is blocked:

• Posture is almost always involved. 

• Breathing is affected, usually more shallow.

• Voice tone, modulation, and cadence reveal far more than people realize.

Your body is constantly telling your story. Sometimes it's whispering but, sometimes it's shouting.

How Do Blockages Happen?

Sometimes a blockage happens in an instant.

A traumatic event or painful conversation. A time you were frightened and suddenly gasped.

Other times it develops so gradually that you don't notice it happening. See if any of these resonate:

Daily stress. Poor sleep. Inflammation. Years of putting yourself last. Fearful thoughts that repeat in your head. Living in survival mode.

None of these happen in isolation, they create conditions that your body adapts to. Those conditions develop energetic patterns. And yes, energy has patterns just like the body does. Eventually those patterns become your normal, even though they aren't your most high vibrational state.

A Better Question to Ask

People often ask me,

"How do I unblock my ____(fill in the blank)___ chakra?"

I think there's an even better question.

"What conditions am I creating every day that allow my energy to flow?"

That question changes the game; it puts you in the drivers seat. Guess what--you ARE the driver of your energy balance and therefore your daily experence.

Healing isn't about being a spiritual gangster and trying every practice that comes along. Spiritual dabbling can keep you on a continual, arduous path of "trying to heal" which runs in the opposite direction as balanced energy and true healing.

It's about improving the conditions your body needs to naturally come into alignment.

Better sleep.

Better breathing.

Healthier food.

Less inflammation.

Movement.

Healthy boundaries.

Learning to process emotions instead of storing them.

Calming your nervous system.

These are the things that create coherence. And when coherence improves, your energy begins to flow more freely without forcing it.

Stop Chasing Distractions

If I could leave you with one piece of advice, it would be this.

Stop chasing distractions.

There is an entire industry built around keeping people in an endless cycle of self-improvement.

Another crystal.

Another frequency.

Another quiz.

Another quick fix.

Those things can certainly be enjoyable, and some can be supportive, but they should never become substitutes for going within and listening to the quiet voice that has answers.

Real healing asks us to become curious about our true selves.

To listen.

To feel.

This is when we no longer have to stay in protection mode.

Your Chakras Are Like the Dashboard in Your Car

I like to think of chakras as the dashboard lights in your car. If the oil light comes on, you don't replace the light. You look under the hood. Your chakras work much the same way. They aren't the problem. They're indicators.

They're showing you where your body, mind, emotions, and energy may no longer be communicating as one integrated system.

When you improve the conditions, the system begins correcting itself because it's what you know how to do on a deep, energetic level. it's your birthright to heal and to recover; no matter what from.

Let's let healing begin.

Your energy system is far more intelligent than you can imagine and your body is far more resilient than you may know. You don't need to fear your symptoms. You simply need to become a better listener. Because your body has been trying to guide you all along.
