Why Emotional Energy Gets Stuck
Emotions are energy in motion—but stress, trauma, or suppression can trap them in the body, leading to fatigue, anxiety, or physical tension. Safe release helps you process feelings without retraumatization.
4 Safe Practices to Let Go
1. Shaking Medicine (Somatic Release)
How it helps: Mimics animals’ natural stress discharge (like trembling after danger).
Steps:
- Stand barefoot, knees slightly bent.
- Shake arms, legs, and torso vigorously for 2–3 minutes.
- Imagine “shaking off” heavy emotions.
- Finish with deep breaths and gentle stretches.
🌿 Best for: Post-argument adrenaline, restlessness.
2. Water Rituals (Energetic Cleansing)
How it helps: Water carries away stagnant energy.
Try:
- Shower visualization: As water flows, picture emotions washing down the drain.
- Saltwater soak: Add Epsom salts + rosemary to a bath; soak 20 mins.
- Hand ritual: Splash cold water on wrists (pulse points) 3x to “reset.”
💧 Symbolic aid: Whisper, “I release what no longer serves me.”
3. Sound Release (Vocal Toning)
How it helps: Vibrations loosen trapped emotions in the chest/throat.
Practice:
- Place a hand over your heart.
- Hum or chant “Aum” (or any tone) for 1–2 minutes.
- Notice where vibrations resonate—this is energy shifting.
🎶 Enhance it: Drumming or singing bowls deepen the effect.
4. Cord-Cutting Meditation (For Attachments)
How it helps: Severs lingering energy ties to past events/people.
Guided steps:
- Sit quietly, visualize the person/situation.
- Imagine a cord connecting you to them.
- With scissors, a knife, or your hands, gently cut the cord.
- Watch it dissolve into light.
- Say: “I reclaim my energy with love.”
✂️ Repeat monthly for persistent connections.
When to Seek Support
While these tools help, some emotions need witness-based healing. Consider professional guidance if you:
- Feel numb or detached after trying techniques
- Experience flashbacks or panic
- Need a safe container (like shamanic healing or counselling)
