 When people talk about energy being “blocked,” they mean energy is not flowing.
We think of energy as physical, energetic or emotional. But they are all the same. For humans, the body is a physical container of all our emotional experiences, including past wounds and unresolved feelings. Thus, when we feel blocked, what we are often feeling is emotional blocking. We are shut down, numbed out, repressed, not allowing ourselves to feel what we feel. When we allow ourselves to open to what is—to really feel our feelings—this allows us to release that energy; it allows this energy to flow. Both emotionally, and in the physical container. When we feel blocked—when we feel locked down by our feelings—it is simply a call to feel more. When the body can release emotional energy, other body systems also become unblocked. Everything’s connected! It can be scary to feel more. One of the ways this can be looked at is through the view of The Four Passages of the Heart. The first passage is through pain. This is the place we are in when we feel blocked. We feel fear, anxiety, stress. We feel that we can’t manage the pain. But of course, the heart can hold everything. The second passage is compassion: for others and for oneself. Once you have made it from pain to compassion, you have done the hardest part. The third passage is connection, understanding Oneness. And the four opening is love. Of course. It’s always love. If you are feeling blocked or shut down or numbed out, take a look at your Heart of Pain. If you allow yourself to feel more, you will open into the next passage. Only scary to think about. Very healing to do. Much love, SARA P.S. We begin Entering Stillness, our Winter Retreat soon.
