Got Blockages?

Coining a slightly modified phrase from Jimmy Buffet, “We all got 'em, We don’t want 'em, What do we do with 'em?” it’s a good question to ask. I’ve had them, these energetic blocks, sometimes called resistance. When someone raises a fuss with you, or when you have a negative thought, you feel the anxiety raise up in you. Countless books, and multiple processes have been written to counter such an event.

It’s happened so much to me, that one of my goals in life is the elimination of all resistance. That certainly is possible. Through my couple of months of focused meditation, and and through my couple months of focused meditation, and nearly three years of energy work, I have felt much lighter. I give some of the best techniques therefore to eliminate resistance. Some of these techniques may resonate with you, and that’s great. If some don’t, then don’t feel obligated.

A few of my recommendations before we start:

1) Find a quiet place, preferably outdoors.
2) Becoming a vegetarian can go a long way with releasing blockages, as meat tends to make the energetic body heavier.
3) Being able to visualize can help, but is not absolutely necessary. An intention for something can be effective.
4) Visualizing need not necessarily be visual. It can be auditory (hearing) or kinesthetic (feeling) or just a knowing.

Sitting or reclining in a comfortable position is a good way to start. We want to be comfortable to allow for the greatest anxiety release. It’s good to be as comfortable as possible without being so comfortable that you fall asleep. A lot of people recommend sitting with the back straight. This can go a long way for deeper meditative states, but it might be hard on the back muscles if you’re not used to this position. Also, sitting in the Lotus Position is not necessary. Sometimes I bring my left knee closer to me as if I were about to stand up, and rest my folded hands on my knee and keeping my other leg on the floor. It’s all up to you.


Begin with breathing, deeply and slowly, in and out. This alone can cause a good deal of relaxation. Try to focus on the breathing, and let any thoughts just pass. It’s hard to do at first, but persistence will make this much easier.

Then, a very powerful breathing involves breathing into your heart. When I sit outdoors, under a starry sky, in nature, below the trees, it really adds to the power. After about 15 mins or so, when I feel at good level, I love to use my hands as if I were pulling energy from around me into my heart. When I inhale, I pull my hands toward my heart slowly, palms facing me, as if I were gathering healing from around me. I breath this into my heart.

Then I hold this life-giving Oxygen in my lungs for a few seconds (I don’t count, I just hold), I then exhale, using my hands to push my breath out into Mother Earth. Mother Earth is phenomenal at transmuting energy. This means the tensions and anxieties we are exhaling can be absorbed and transformed by our planet into other energy forms that help sustain her. We are all in this together, and by healing ourselves, we heal each other.

Pretty soon into your meditation you may notice physical feelings of tightness in parts of your body. This was very strong with me in my heart and solar plexus. In fact, it was so strong that it hurt sometimes when I visually tried to “pull” out this anxiety.

These tensions and worries that manifest as discomfort in our body did not arrive overnight. So it reasons that they aren’t released overnight without a great deal of pain. I personally had taken 32 years to get where I was, and wasn’t about to try anything (if it were even possible) to let go of all of this in one fell swoop. I like to gently dissolve it, much like soap in water.

Another technique that is very powerful is raising vibration, and becoming one with everything. Without going into too much detail here, raising vibration really is about focusing on love. Love for everything around us, love for ourselves. I’ve sent love from my heart into a pain, and within minutes felt it dissolve away.

Becoming one with everything takes a little more effort. It’s about putting your mind aside, and just observing everything as a child would. Use innocent perception (as Jesus in Jesus Speaks says). Innocent perception is looking around and not pondering or questioning what you see. If something is blue, then it’s blue. Don’t analyze it or try to figure out why it’s blue. It just is! Becoming one by just being there is a phenomenal way to raise your energy.

What happens when you raise your energy enough? You see beyond the illusion of reality. This could spawn so many topics, but I will say here that the colors are much more brilliant, and it becomes easier to perceive the fluidity of reality. Seeing what is around me rippling like water can bring a tear to one’s eyes no matter how bad their day has seemed. It’s all about perception.

And how far can this go, I do not know. I don’t think anyone knows, because as one evolves, we all do. We are all in this enigmatic web of life, each doing our part. Whether we know it or not, we are most assuredly one.
