What Is an Energy Block? Do I have one?
Are you experiencing energy blocks without even realising it?
Have you ever had that frustrating feeling of being stuck in some area of your life and no matter how much you try, what you‘re doing just isn’t working?
You might be showing up, working hard, being positive… yet things still don’t go the way you’d hoped. The relationship doesn’t improve. The money doesn’t flow. Your energy’s flat, your motivation’s low, you keep circling the same patterns.
If this sounds familiar, you may be experiencing something called an energy block.
But what on earth is an energy block?
Understanding Energy Blocks (In Plain English)
At its core, an energy block is a disruption in your body’s natural energy flow.
You don’t have to be a meditation master or energy healer to understand this. We’re all made of energy, this is a scientific fact. Our thoughts, emotions, and physical body are constantly interacting in ways we often can’t see… but can definitely feel.
When we go through stressful or painful experiences, especially those we suppress, avoid, or don’t know how to process, those emotions don’t just disappear. They get stored. They linger. And over time, they can build up like energetic “clogs” in the system.
That’s an energy block.
What Causes Energy Blocks?
Here are just a few common ways energy blocks can form:
Suppressing your emotions: Holding in anger, sadness, or grief instead of expressing or processing them
Ignoring your needs: Always putting yourself last, saying yes when you mean no, or living in “people-pleaser” mode
Absorbing other people’s energy: If you’re sensitive or empathic, you might carry other people’s emotions without realising it
Over-identifying with labels: “I’m just anxious.” “I’ve always been bad with money.” These become energetic identities that keep you stuck
Living out of alignment with your truth: Hiding who you are, staying in relationships or jobs that drain you, or following someone else’s version of success
How Do Energy Blocks Show Up?
They often don’t show up where you expect. You might notice:
Feeling emotionally heavy, flat, or foggy
Constant overthinking or emotional reactivity
Physical symptoms like fatigue, tension, or gut issues
Feeling stuck in repeating patterns or habits
Struggling to connect with your joy, purpose, or intuition
Most people try to “fix” these things by pushing harder, setting more goals, or blaming themselves. But energy blocks aren’t something you can outthink or hustle your way through, they need to be felt, acknowledged, and released.
The Good News? You Can Clear Them!
You don’t have to stay stuck. Energy healing, somatic awareness, inner work, and even simple practices like journaling and breathwork can start to shift blocked energy and restore your natural flow.
That’s what I help my clients with every day, finding the root of where their energy is blocked, gently clearing it, and guiding them back to a place of clarity, confidence, and self-worth.
So if you’ve been doing “all the right things” but something still feels off… it might be time to look beneath the surface.
You don’t need to be fixed. You just need to be unblocked.
