What Comes to Mind When You Hear “Energy Healing”?

Reading time: 8 minutes

Energy healing—what comes to mind? A scam? Pseudo-science? Or maybe you don’t know what to think about it. I get it. I was skeptical too—until I tried it and experienced transformation within and around me.

Skeptic, But Curious

Energy healing is a controversial topic. Some people swear by it. Others give it the benefit of the doubt. And some call it outright nonsense. I used to be in that middle group—curious but not convinced.

I’d experienced powerful techniques like coaching and NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) before. These methods had shown me how transformative non-traditional approaches could be.

For example, I attended a three-day coaching event where a girl volunteered for a goal-setting exercise on stage. Her goal was to quit smoking, and one of the benefits she mentioned was wanting to smell better. And I thought, ‘Huh, I’d like to smell better too.’

Two weeks later, I had stopped smoking—without any external support. This was after two failed attempts before.

Later, I tried NLP. I enrolled in a 16-day practitioner certification course, and it was life-changing. I resolved so many issues—big and small—permanently.

But as transformative as those experiences were, I still felt like something was missing.

Something Was Holding Me Back

It felt like an invisible force was keeping me stuck. Even when I knew exactly what I should do, I wasn’t doing it—or my actions felt misaligned. It was as if one part of me wanted to move forward, while another part wanted to stay still—or even pull me backward.

I prayed for something to turn my life around, and I found it. I stumbled upon the idea that stagnant energy in the body could influence the way we feel, think, and behave.

Stagnant Energy Is Real

With practice, I confirmed what I suspected—stagnant energy isn’t just a vague idea. It’s real, and it impacts the physical body.

This energy can settle near an organ, gland, muscle, or bone, taking up space and creating pressure on the surrounding tissues. This can show up as physical pain or emotional distress. Imagine trapped energy in your frontal lobe, near your liver, or accumulating in your knee—it disrupts how your body and mind are supposed to function.

My Burnout Story

Around the same time, I was under immense pressure at work and was diagnosed with burnout. While my doctor ran tests to confirm the diagnosis, I began releasing stagnant energy from my body.

In just a few weeks, I was ready to return to work—and I didn’t need medication. I was amazed by the results. I began applying this approach to other areas of my life—and later, to family and friends. I saw our ways of thinking and doing shift dramatically.

What Is Energy Healing?

So, what is energy healing?

Simply put, it’s about moving stagnant energy. Emotions from past events can get trapped in the body when we’re unable to process them—whether because they were too painful, too intense, or we simply didn’t want to feel or express them at the time.

This trapped energy stays in the body until it’s released. It often settles near organs and glands, disrupting our systems and normal functioning.

It’s not magic—it’s about understanding that everything in us, from our organs to our emotions, is made of energy. When energy gets stuck and stays stuck, it can manifest over time as stress, emotional patterns, physical discomfort, or even illness.

By addressing these blockages, energy healing allows the body to do what it’s designed to do—heal itself.

It’s Not a Replacement for Medical Care

Energy healing isn’t about replacing your doctor. It’s about giving your body and mind the support they need to recover and thrive. It’s also about removing any resistance to healing that might prevent recovery or cause relapses.

How Releasing Energy Changes Lives

I’ve seen this approach help people recover from drug addiction and emotional eating, let go of fear, grow their self-esteem, and cope with chemotherapy side effects.

I’ve watched it help people end toxic relationships, rediscover joy, and transform romantic and parenting relationships. Releasing trapped energy can open doors you didn’t even know were closed.

My Suggestion? Try It for Yourself

I know what you’re thinking—this sounds too good to be true. I thought the same thing. My suggestion? Give it a try.

See for yourself. Don’t let others tell you whether it works or doesn’t work. Experience it firsthand. When you feel the power of releasing stagnant energy, it’s hard not to believe.

The Lesson I Learned

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: Your body and mind are capable of amazing things. Sometimes, all they need is the right support to start healing and thriving.

Energy healing is one way to give yourself that support.

In that moment, I had two choices: give up or find a way to rebuild. I chose the latter, but not in the way you might expect. I didn’t pick myself up through sheer willpower or a conventional plan. Instead, I discovered something that changed everything—energy healing.

How I Discovered Energy Healing

I had never heard much about energy healing before, and to be honest, I was skeptical. It sounded too abstract, too “out there.” But when you’re desperate for change, you’re willing to explore the unknown. I needed something different, something that would get to the root of why I felt so stuck.

That’s when I learned about the concept of trapped emotions. Imagine this: every time you go through something painful or intense, your body tries to process it. But if the emotions are too overwhelming, they can get “stuck” in your body—like unresolved energy that lingers beneath the surface. Over time, these trapped emotions can weigh you down, disrupt your thinking, and even affect your health.

It made sense to me in a way I couldn’t explain. I decided to give it a try. What did I have to lose?

Releasing Stagnant Energy Changed Everything

At first, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But as I began releasing the trapped emotions stored in my body, I started noticing small changes. I felt lighter, like a heavy weight I hadn’t realized I was carrying had been lifted. My thoughts became clearer. My actions felt aligned with my intentions. And bit by bit, the life I thought I’d lost began to come back into focus.

Releasing stagnant energy helped me rebuild my confidence, my resilience, and my sense of purpose. It wasn’t just about feeling better—it was about becoming myself again.

Why Do We Get Stuck?

Hitting rock bottom isn’t just about external circumstances. Sometimes, the real blocks are internal—unprocessed emotions, limiting beliefs, or even an unseen resistance to change. These blocks can make you feel like you’re spinning your wheels, even when you’re trying your hardest to move forward.

Energy healing works by clearing these invisible barriers. It’s not a magic wand—it’s a way of giving your mind and body the support they need to heal and thrive.

Energy Healing Isn’t What You Think

If you’re skeptical, I get it. Energy healing often gets dismissed as “woo-woo” or pseudo-science. But in my experience, it’s incredibly practical. It’s about understanding that your body and emotions are deeply connected. When one is out of balance, the other feels it too.

By addressing the root cause of what’s keeping you stuck—those trapped emotions or stagnant energy—you can create space for healing, growth, and transformation.

You Don’t Have to Stay Stuck

If you’re feeling like you’ve hit rock bottom, I want you to know this: there’s always a way forward. It might not look like what you expect, and it might involve exploring unfamiliar paths. But sometimes, the answers we’re searching for are the ones we haven’t considered yet.

Energy healing gave me a way to rebuild my life when I thought it was beyond repair. It helped me find clarity, strength, and hope when I needed them most.

The Takeaway

Your lowest moments don’t define you—they’re just chapters in a much bigger story. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to move forward, remember this: your body and mind are capable of amazing things. All they need is the right support.

Energy healing might be that support. And if you’re open to it, it might just change everything, like it did for me.
