Why, and How to Reclaim Your Energy When Something Feels Off
When Energy Sticks: How to Reclaim Yourself After Something Feels Off
Have you ever felt betrayed, energetically crossed, or simply thrown off—even when nothing "major" happened? Maybe the words didn’t convince you, but the energy stuck. It lingered. A fog. A heaviness. A part of you wanting to disappear.
This isn’t just about what happened. It’s about what it left behind.
We often talk about healing through mindset. But some experiences bypass logic and go straight to the body. The nervous system contracts. The breath shortens. Old emotional layers get stirred. That’s why breathwork, somatic tools, and energy work are so important. They help you feel what your mind already knows.
You may hear a voice inside that says: "See? This is why we don’t open up. This is why we protect."
But here’s the truth:
You are not foolish for caring.
You are not naive for hoping.
You are not ridiculous for feeling.
You are real. And that’s rare.
When you feel stuck in energy—whether from stress, anxiety, or the impact of a moment that threw you off—you can begin to release what isn’t yours. You can call your energy back. You can return to your breath.

Why Energy Sticks in the First Place
Your body holds on to what it didn’t get to process in the moment. This includes emotions, experiences, or even subtle energetic disruptions. In somatic work, we call this incomplete stress cycles. In the energetic realm, it can be called entanglement—a sense of being tied to something that doesn't belong to you.
That’s why the feeling lingers even after your mind understands what happened. It’s because your body—your field—hasn't fully cleared it.
And this is where practices like breathwork, energy work, and even Reiki can gently invite release. They bypass the overthinking mind and invite you to experience energy as movement, not story.
Reiki and the Art of Expanding Your Energy
I often say that Reiki isn’t just about healing—it’s about learning to understand your own energy. It helps you notice: what’s mine? What isn’t? Where am I leaking? Where am I shrinking?
So many protection techniques teach us to shield or block. But what if your system doesn’t just need protection—but expansion?
If you only build a protective bubble, how will your energy grow? If you always defend, how will you learn to occupy your space?
Reiki and energy work help you reconnect with your own frequency, so your system knows what it feels like to be in alignment. From there, the clearing becomes intuitive.
The Science of Energy: Bridging the Physical and the Subtle
Quantum physics is beginning to explain what ancient traditions have long known: everything is energy. Our thoughts, emotions, and even the spaces between us carry information.
Your nervous system isn’t separate from your energy. It’s an interpreter. It senses safety, threat, resonance, and dissonance—even before your conscious mind catches up. This is why breathwork is so powerful for stress release and anxiety relief. It recalibrates both your physical system and your energetic field.
When we work with breath, we’re not just taking in oxygen. We’re activating the vagus nerve, resetting the nervous system, and opening up the meridians—energetic channels that influence how life force moves through the body.
Meridian Work and Emotional Energy
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, emotions are stored in different organs and flow along meridian lines. Grief often resides in the lungs. Anger in the liver. Worry in the spleen. Fear in the kidneys.
When your energy feels stuck, it can often be traced along these meridian pathways. That’s why movement practices, acupuncture, EFT tapping, and breathwork can help unblock and restore flow. You begin to feel yourself again—not just think about how to feel better.
The Invitation to Reconnect
Whether you're navigating betrayal, emotional exhaustion, or just that strange sense of "something is off," the path home begins with your body. Your breath. Your energy.
You are allowed to take up space. You are allowed to feel. You are allowed to reclaim your energy.
Not everything needs to be figured out. Some things are meant to be felt, moved, released.
This is the work.
And you don’t have to do it alone.
