5 Signs You’re Energy Blocked (and Yes, It’s as Annoying as It Sounds)
Let’s set the scene.
You’re tired. Not the “I stayed up binge-watching a documentary about mushroom foraging” kind of tired.
No, this is bone-deep, soul-level, “why do my limbs feel like wet laundry?” kind of tired.
You light a candle, drink some overpriced herbal tea, maybe even dab a little essential oil on your third eye for good measure… and yet. Still stuck. Still heavy. Still... meh.
Darling, you might be energy blocked.
Before you panic and start booking a one-way trip to Sedona, take a breath. (In through the nose, out through the drama.) Energy blocks are incredibly common, sneakier than a toddler with chocolate fingers, and—thankfully—totally fixable. Let’s break down five unmistakable signs that your inner glow is currently trapped behind a metaphysical traffic jam.
1. You’re Basically a Human Battery at 2%
You’ve slept, you’ve caffeinated, you’ve even eaten the kale. But somehow, you still feel like someone replaced your chi with cold porridge. That persistent fatigue that no nap can cure? Classic blocked energy. When life force isn’t flowing properly, your body doesn’t exactly roll out the red carpet for motivation.
Reiki reality check: This type of exhaustion is usually energetic, not just physical. (Though, yes, drink water and eat something with protein, too.)
2. You Keep Attracting Chaos Like a Magnet for Mayhem
Missed buses. Miscommunications. Random tech meltdowns. It’s like the universe is throwing spaghetti at your life to see what sticks. Energetic congestion tends to manifest externally, like your aura’s out of sync with the rhythm of the world. And guess what? That chaos? It’s often your energy trying to get your attention.
The fix? A grounding session (Reiki, breathwork, or barefoot on actual earth—not just the kitchen tile) to stop the spiritual static.
3. You Feel Emotionally Constipated (Yep, We Said It)
One minute you’re fine, the next you’re crying because the cat looked at you funny. Or worse—you're just numb. Energetic blocks love to park themselves around unresolved emotions. (Especially the ones we shove down with a polite smile and a gluten-free muffin.)
Reminder: Feelings are meant to move. If you’re emotionally jammed up, it’s likely your energy is, too.
4. You Can’t Make a Decision to Save Your Life
Do I quit my job and start an alpaca farm? Should I text him back? What even is my purpose?
When your energy is blocked, clarity goes out the window faster than your New Year’s resolutions. You spin in circles. Overthink. Ask your dog for advice. (He means well.)
Energy truth: When your chakras are aligned, intuition flows. When they’re gunked up, decision-making becomes a game of existential Jenga.
5. Your Body’s Whispering… and You’re Not Listening
That lingering tightness in your shoulders? The headache that appears every time you talk to Susan from finance? The stomach flip whenever you ignore your gut? Your body is practically sending you a handwritten letter, scented with lavender, begging you to pay attention.
Spoiler alert: Energy blocks often show up as physical discomfort—little pings and nudges before they become full-blown red flags.
So... What Now?
If you read this list and thought, “Well, this is awkwardly accurate,” don’t stress. Being energy blocked doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means you’re human.
Try this:
Book a Reiki session (hi, I know someone…)
Journal it out. (No filter, just you and the truth.)
Move. Walk, dance, wiggle—whatever shakes up the stagnation.
Laugh. Cry. Yell into a pillow. Then laugh again.
And remember: healing isn’t linear, it’s beautifully wobbly.
You don’t need to “fix” yourself. You just need to come home to your energy again.
And maybe, just maybe, put the device (the one you have in your hand right now) down and go relax in the sun for 20 minutes.
You’ve earned it.
