My client was frustrated. He ran marathons for fun! (The exclamation mark references my own attitude toward forcing oneself to carry on for 26 miles, when it would be far easier to drive.) For about five years, the same problem had arisen. Ron, as I’ll call him, would start to sputter at the 15-mile mark during a race, becoming so tired that he would drop out. He knew that athletes could hit a “wall,” a low-energy point, but the pattern was relatively new, and didn’t happen during training. What was going on? Ron asked me during an energy healing session. “You have an energy block,” I responded. “Let’s see what might be causing it.” Even though the explanation we arrived at might confuse you, I’m going to provide it anyway. It will help me set up the theme of this article—why it’s so important to know about energy blocks and how to deal with them to erase roadblocks to athletic or other types of performance success. Ron’s block? We figured out that his best friend was jealous of Ron’s marathon—and life—successes. In fact, Jay, as I’ll name him, was so envious of Ron’s life that he decided to start running marathons as well. Yup. About five years earlier. The problem was that Jay could never get past the….you guessed it…15-mile mark. Okay, so why would Jay’s limitations get stuck in Ron? You see, everything is made of energy, which I define as information that moves. Most of us focus on physical energy when seeking to realize a dream. That’s the stuff of concrete reality. If an athlete has a leg cramp, it makes sense to massage the muscles and take extra minerals. But physical energy composes less than 1 percent of all energy. Subtle energy, also called psychic, spiritual, and quantum energy, formulates more than 99.99999 percent-plus of all reality. This is important because subtle energies form the latticework that organize what happens in the knock-on-wood 3-D reality. We generate subtle energies that we aren’t aware of all the time. They usually hold programs we aren’t aware of. If these programs aren’t life-affirming, they can clog us up, causing emotional and physical repercussions. Subtle energies are also constantly passed from person-to-person. In Ron’s case, he was unconsciously holding onto—or being blocked—by subtle energies he’d absorbed from Jay. But the fundamental problem lay in the subtle energies belonging to him, which he was holding like a card deck so close to his chest he couldn’t read them. Through our work, Ron discovered that he felt guilty about being better at nearly everything than was Jay. This dynamic was carried over from a childhood pattern with his brother. Once he decided to release his own deep-seated perceptions, he ran clear past the 26-mile mark during the next race. Think of it. If Ron hadn’t been willing to embrace the fact that reality is composed of invisible, not only visible energies, he may have never cleared his issue. Now I will give you a more definitive definition of “energy block.” Fundamentally, a “block” is anything that prevents movement or flow, making it difficult to achieve a goal. Imagine you are decluttering your bedroom. (Okay, if you can’t stand cleaning, pretend that someone else is undertaking the task.) You’ve tossed all the give aways into the hallway before noticing that you’ve left no space in the passageway. You literally can’t get from the bedroom into the main part of the house. Sure, you can climb out the bedroom window and walk through the yard to the front door. That action is equivalent to what most people do when they are blocked. They go around the problem, ignoring it if possible. But, what’s the point of that? It’s far better to just get unstuck, even if it takes a little time, using a process that in the energy world we call “releasing the block.” The reason the word “block” is preceded by “energy” is to recognize that there are lots of causes for a restriction to success. As implied, most of these will be caused by subtle energies. These can consist of nearly any type of issue, to include our own repressed feelings, dysfunctional beliefs, inherited trauma, childhood residue, and programming absorbed from our culture, religious affiliations, and more. If you believe in reincarnation, as I do, you might acknowledge that you can bring wounding in from past and in-between lives as well. As I already pointed out, we can also take on others’ energies. I believe this happens much more often than we realize. After all, we are merely oscillating fields of light and sound. Where do we really stop, and others start? To simplify the search for an energy block, we can state that we’re looking for sites of “negative energies.” I’m not talking scientifically. From a scientific point-of-view, light is composed of positive (magnetic), neutral (not charged), and negative (electrical) energies. In context of blocks to success, the term “negative” references all energies that don’t support your true self, or essence. You have many layers of selfhood. Knowing about these can help you clue into the part of you being influenced by a negative energy block. A swift definition of each will help you track and clear an energy block.
I suggest you conduct both practices, starting with the first one presented. Practice: Finding an Energy Block Think about a time when you were trying to perform and couldn’t pull it off. Return consciously to that experience. Be there again. Sense the clothes you’re wearing, the sounds that surround you, and the smells in the air. Now focus on the task ahead. You’re getting ready, set—but you can’t go. Before you start judging yourself, drop deeper into your body. What do you sense? What is happening? Is there a congested area somewhere inside? Is there a space that feels too tight or too loose? After scanning your body, expand beyond it. Let your sense of self spread way beyond your physical perimeter. Does anything around you draw your attention, such as a pressure, a sensation, or even a being or a person? See too if your searching takes you to your mind, or belief systems, or even your soul, the part of you that has traveled across time to better understand love. Through this assessment, you are beginning to become aware of the negative energy that constitutes the problem. That is the block. Feel into that adverse energy and give yourself permission to better understand it. What composes it? Is it made of your own or others’ energies? Know that more data will be made clear to you over the next few days. Practice: Let Your Spirit Clear the Block After you’ve an idea about the origin and nature of the energy block, let your own spirit enable a clearing and healing. You can follow these steps.
