Life’s a rollercoaster, right? There are highs and lows, moments of joy, and times of struggle. But sometimes, we hit roadblocks that keep us stuck. Emotional blocks are often the reason behind that feeling. They’re invisible barriers that stop us from moving forward. In a recent podcast, I (Breeanna Kay) chatted with emotional healing expert Lisa about these blocks and how they affect both our personal lives and businesses. We dove into how unresolved emotions show up in our minds and bodies and how energy work can help clear them away.
Here are the key takeaways:
- Emotional blocks are unresolved feelings or patterns that hold us back.
- Energy work (like Reiki) can help release those blocks and bring more alignment to our lives.
- Managing our energy directly impacts our success in both life and business.
What Are Emotional Blocks?
Emotional blocks are invisible walls that keep us from reaching our full potential. They often come from past trauma or old patterns. These unresolved emotions stay in our subconscious—and even in our bodies. As Lisa explains, “Emotional blocks are unresolved emotions or negative patterns of thought and behavior that just get stuck in our subconscious and even our physical body.” Not only do these blocks affect our emotional health, but they also cause physical symptoms like chronic pain or fatigue.
The impact of emotional blocks goes beyond physical discomfort. They influence how we approach everything—from relationships to work. Lisa points out, “With these blocks, we might experience limiting beliefs… which can unconsciously shape the way we approach life and business.” This shows up in self-sabotage, fear of failure, and stress that feels never-ending. When we become aware of these patterns, we can start doing something about them.
Lisa also shares how the body holds emotional imprints: “The body has this incredible memory that stores emotional imprints in our physical and emotional body.” That’s why we often feel tension in our neck or shoulders after stressful events. Our bodies are holding onto those emotions. Recognizing these emotional blocks is the first step in healing both the mind and body.
How Energy Work Helps Release Emotional Blocks
This is where energy work comes in. It might sound a little “out there,” but Lisa (a trained Reiki Master) explains how it’s an amazing tool for clearing emotional blocks and finding balance. Reiki helps cleanse and harmonize our energy fields. When our energy is aligned, things just start flowing. Lisa says, “The beauty of releasing those patterns and blockages is that you can start being in alignment and go with the flow. Things just feel easier.”
This flow opens up new opportunities, connections, and creativity that match your true self. As I always say, energy is just as important as strategy in business. “Strategy is super important, but the energy behind what you do is also wildly important,” I shared on the podcast. When your energy is aligned with your goals, things feel more authentic. It helps you connect with clients and collaborators on a deeper level.
How to Release Emotional Blocks and Get Unstuck
Releasing emotional blocks takes conscious effort and commitment. The first step is awareness. Lisa says, “The first thing is becoming aware… how you operate and what you’re doing.” Once you identify your blocks, start to tune into the physical sensations they bring up.
Lisa offers a great practice: “Send in this healing juice to release it and fill it with new love.” This visualization exercise helps clear out the old energy and replace it with something positive. It’s like a mental detox! And don’t forget to nourish yourself afterward. When you release emotional blocks, you create space for new energy to flow in. This space is perfect for self-reflection, setting intentions, and inviting new growth into your life.
Lisa shares her own experience of transformation: “Coming back home to yourself and realizing that you have the power to create your dream life is such a beautiful feeling.” It’s empowering to realize we have the ability to change our lives, and healing emotional blocks can help us take back control and create a life and business that truly reflects who we are.
Bottom Line: Internal Work Leads to External Success
When it comes to success—whether in life or business—it’s easy to focus on external stuff like tactics, strategies, or growth. But the real work often happens inside. Releasing emotional blocks and doing energy work can transform your approach to life. When you clear the internal clutter, it opens up space for what you truly want.
So, take a moment to check in with yourself. What emotional blocks are holding you back? Once you start releasing them, you’ll notice a shift in how you show up in your life and work. It’s all about alignment, energy, and creating space for your most authentic self.
