The Magic of Inner Alignment: Releasing Energy Blocks

Have you ever had those magical days when everything just seemed to click? You feel energized, connected, and in tune with the ease and flow of life. That, my friend, is alignment.

But then, there are days when you feel stuck, frustrated, or disconnected. Everything feels hard like there’s an invisible wall between you and the life you’re trying to create. This feeling of misalignment is often the result of energy blocks.

While energy blocks can feel like obstacles, they’re actually powerful teachers. They bring awareness to areas in our lives that need attention, healing, or growth. When you learn to recognize and work through them, you’ll unlock the hidden gifts they offer. You will experience greater clarity, deeper connection with GUS (God, Universe, Spirit), and more ease in your spiritual journey.

Understanding Alignment

When you’re in alignment, life feels effortless. You experience a sense of ease and flow, where things naturally fall into place. When you’re in alignment you might experience:

Ease and Joy: Things that once felt daunting become lighter, and even small moments bring happiness.
Divine Timing: You meet the right person at the right time, or solutions appear when you need them most.
Clear Decision-Making: Choices feel intuitive and right without second-guessing.
Natural Energy: You wake up motivated, inspired, and ready to tackle the day.

For example, imagine waking up with an intention to bring more kindness into your day. As you go about your routine, opportunities to practice kindness arise effortlessly. It could be in a heartfelt conversation with a friend, or a moment of kindness or patience with a stranger.

Recognizing Misalignment

Misalignment, on the other hand, often shows up as resistance or discomfort. Can you relate to any of these feelings?

Physical Sensations: You feel tension, fatigue, or heaviness in your body.
Emotional Indicators: You feel frustration, increased irritability, or sadness that feels like it comes out of nowhere.
Mental Resistance: Overthinking, procrastinating, or self-doubt keeps you stuck.
Spiritual Disconnection: You’re doubting your intuition and feeling cut off from GUS.

It’s important to know that these signs are opportunities for growth. Misalignment is simply your inner compass pointing to areas that need some extra attention and care.

The Hidden Gift of Energy Blocks

Energy blocks can feel frustrating and overwhelming, but they hold powerful lessons that help us grow and evolve. By leaning into them with curiosity and intention, you can uncover hidden opportunities for self-awareness and growth.

Awareness is our Superpower: Blocks bring attention to what you may be avoiding. It could be a limiting belief or an unprocessed emotion.
Resistance to Growth: Growth can be uncomfortable, but resistance signals that you’re on the edge of an opportunity for transformation.
Avoidance Prevents Progress: Ignoring energy blocks means staying stuck. Facing them, however, leads to breakthroughs and possibilities.

Here are some common types of blocks:

Inner Critic: This is the noise inside our head that tells us we’re not good enough, smart enough or just plain not enough.
Limiting Beliefs: These are beliefs that we’re taught by our parents or teachers, media, friends, and sometimes we just make them up. We then internalize them as our truth.
Stories we make up: We all have experiences and our interpretations of those experiences create our reality in the moment.

Recognizing these blocks is the first step to understanding and working through them. The next step is deeply rooted in trust.

Trust the Process

Energy blocks can feel overwhelming at first, but remember they are part of your growth and evolution. Moving through them requires patience, compassion, and trust, not just in yourself, but in the process. Each block carries a message, so by recognizing it and allowing yourself to reframe it, you’ll create space for more clarity, alignment, and flow in your life.

Let’s break down the steps to transform these blocks into opportunities for growth.

Explore the Energy Block

The first step to moving through a block is simply becoming aware of it.

Name the block: Is it my inner critic, a limiting belief or just an interpretation of something that happened?
Tune into your body: Notice where tension or discomfort shows up physically.
Tools: Get curious about how it’s showing up for you and what it’s preventing you from doing..

Acknowledge it without judgment. This acknowledgment can immediately ease pressure to help you move forward when you’re ready.

Moving Through The Energy Block

I love these exercises when I need to release a block:

Inner Critic: Our inner critic keeps us safe from having to move forward but also keeps us stuck. Ask yourself: “how true is it that I’m not good enough”, or “how true is it that I’m not smart enough”? It’s often just a message that we’ve been telling ourselves our whole life and really doesn’t ring true anymore. Just telling our inner critic to take a back seat and connecting with your heart and higher self often supports us in releasing this energy that’s been keeping us stuck.
Limiting Beliefs: Since these are usually taught or told to us when we’re younger, we have an opportunity to create new beliefs that serve us vs. blocking us. For example: You have a belief that getting a degree in Art cannot provide a stable income. That’s definitely a view, but there are many people who have Art degrees that go on to have very fruitful and fulfilling lives. Challenging the belief is the first step.
Stories we make up: Things happen to us throughout our lives and we make up all kinds of stories around it to justify, make ourselves feel better, or just make sense out of an experience. Consider that there are an infinite number of ways to reframe your perception to a new story that supports us rather than depletes your energy. Try it on and see how your energy shifts.

Tools for Supporting Your Alignment

Consistency is key to staying in alignment, but it doesn’t have to feel hard or overwhelming. Simple daily practices can help you tune into your energy, release resistance, and return to a state of flow. By integrating these tools into your routine, you’ll create a supportive foundation that keeps you connected to your highest self, even on challenging days.

Morning Check-ins: Begin your day with a moment of stillness and intention setting.
Meditation Techniques: Use guided meditations to release tension and invite clarity.
Energy Alignment Exercises: Simple breathwork or grounding techniques can realign your energy.
Evening Reflections: Reflect on where you felt aligned and where you experienced resistance in your day.
Journaling Prompts: Questions like “What am I resisting?”, “What lesson does this hold for me?”, “What is this block teaching me?”, “How can I move through it?” Often just writing it down helps release those blocked feelings.
Body Awareness Exercises: Tune into where tension resides in your body and consciously release it.
Energy Clearing Practices: Practices like smudging or affirmations can help shift stuck energy.
Pay attention to recurring thoughts or nudges, they hold the answers you seek.

Trust your ability to move through blocks. Trust in divine timing, and reflect on past blocks and how they led to growth. Trust in your intuition, as it will always point you in the right direction, even if the path seems unclear at first.

Maintaining Momentum

Regularly check in with your energy and alignment. Celebrate progress, no matter how small. Adjust your practices as life evolves. Do what feels good. Listen to your heart. Honor your feelings but also know your feelings are a result of your thoughts and that we always have a choice to choose a new thought that feels better for us. Remember, blocks are a part of the magical journey of life.
