What are they?
Energetic blockages are energies that are often associated with our emotions, our conscious and subconscious thoughts, spiritual awareness, etc., and that prevent our energy from flowing freely. This slowing down of flowing energies can, over time, cause emotional, mental and spiritual problems. And it is that, blockages generally prevent you from moving forward in life, because they can confuse you and discourage you from thinking or feeling clearly, and this can impede your personal growth.
Blockages occur on a scale from very mild to almost totally blocked; this is essential to understand what it is, since it is usually associated with an underlying problem. Energetic blockages do not necessarily mean that the flow of energy is completely shut down. In general, and from my own experience, you notice when there is something that does not flow in your body normally. For example, if you smoke, you may notice a pressure in the throat and chest area, it is normal, but often this habit is always associated with an emotional disorder.
How does an Energy Blockage originate?
Since childhood, when we go through a painful experience, we automatically do our best not to feel pain. We send that unpleasant experience to the unconscious and try to distract ourselves with work, excess food, tobacco, alcohol, drugs, television, becoming perfectionists, etc.
Instead of trying to resolve our own conflicts, we project them onto others and worry about them. We interrupt the flow of energy that contains the pain to «close our wounds» and stop it, not feel it. We don’t realize that by stopping the negative experience we also stop the positive from that experience. It is very likely that we will also close the connection with our essence, with our creativity, and our purpose in this existence.
Reasons we developed lockdowns
Energetic blockages prevent our Qi from flowing, creating emotional, mental and physical symptoms and draining our vital energy. There are typically three reasons why we develop crashes in our system:
Emotions: Emotions such as fear, anxiety or anger cause our system to shut down. If we live in situations that cause us many emotions that we do not know how to digest, our system closes more and more.
External Causes: Changes in temperature, food, the energy of places and people all have an effect on our energy system.
Inherited Patterns: The deepest blocks are the ones we have been carrying all our lives. These come from the physical, mental and emotional patterns of our family and ancestors.
Most common energy blockages:
brain block
It is located in the parietal lobes and is formed by not verbally expressing what one thinks or feels (it is a consequence of communication blockage). On a physical level, it generates headaches, migraines and dizziness. As for emotional disorders, it causes circular and obsessive thoughts, dispersion, chained thoughts that do not allow attention to be focused, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and insomnia.
communication lock
It forms in the neck and its cause is the fact of not verbally expressing feelings. As physical disorders, it affects the immune system (thyroid and thymus glands), as well as hormonal and vocal cord problems. On an emotional level, social communication blocks cause insecurity and a lack of self-esteem. Those of intimate communication, formed in childhood, make it difficult to communicate fluently and express feelings.
plexus block
It is formed in the solar plexus due to the accumulation of anguish and anxiety throughout life. In fact, a part of any energy blockage goes to the plexus. On a physical level, it causes respiratory problems (asthma) and skin problems (allergies). As for emotional disorders, it alters the nervous system (stress, anxiety, anguish…)
couple lock
It originates in the liver and gallbladder as a result of disappointments and frustrations in relationships. It causes inflammation in the liver and gallbladder, cholesterol, gallstones, transaminases (enzymes that carry out metabolic functions inside cells) and digestive problems, as well as difficult relationships with the current partner.
parental lock
It is formed in the right inguinal area due to lack of understanding or conflicts with the father. It can also be given for having suffered for the father due to an illness or an unresolved death. It causes hormonal and reproductive problems (premature ejaculation, prostate…). It also makes it difficult to materialize life and work projects.
maternal block
It originates in the left inguinal area and has the same causes as the previous one. On a physical level, it causes frigidity, hormonal and menstruation problems. On an emotional level, it causes blockages in creativity, illusion and intuition, as well as difficulty in showing affection.
Lock with the children
It forms in the area of the pancreas due to the serious illness or death of a child. It can cause digestive and immune system problems, as well as diabetes. On an emotional level, it is the cause of major depressions.
root family lock
It forms in childhood or adolescence in the mid-belly area. It is caused by family conflicts (for example, jealousy between siblings) or at school (bullying). On a physical level, it causes reproductive and hormonal problems. On an emotional level, insecurity, lack of self-esteem, shyness, etc.
Current family lock.
It originates in the upper part of the belly due to problems of coexistence in the immediate environment (family, work or school). On a physical level it can cause digestive problems (hiatus hernias, food intolerances…). As for emotional disorders, they are the same as those of the root family blockage, but increased.
impotence lock
It is formed in the kidneys and has to do with fear, feelings of helplessness about emotional issues, or about work and money or school. It causes the weakening and inflammation of the lower back, which causes problems in the kidneys, the urinary tract and the bladder (fluid retention, formation of kidney stones, colic…). The kidney stops producing vital energy and this translates into a feeling of tiredness, feelings of cowardice, lack of joy and illusions.
Symptoms of energy blockage
An energy stagnation can be suspected in the following situations that could give indications in this regard:
- There are several events that, for no apparent reason, are being blocked.
- An illness appears for no reason: “I go to the doctor and everything is fine, but I feel sick”.
- There are problems sleeping well or falling asleep, «when I have insomnia for no apparent reason.»
- People move away, «they catch me lazy and they move away […]. When I have my energy blocked, the energy repels.
- At home, the specialist added, signs of energy blockages may also appear, such as the following:
- Nauseous odors appear or are felt.
- There is apathy or rejection of the possibility of staying at home.
- Fruit or appliances are damaged.
- In general, when the energy in the home “feels dense […] you feel pressure, you feel like the house is dark”.
