When Energy Gets Stuck: What Your Body Might Be Telling You
“I’m just tired.” It’s something I hear so often. But when we dig a little deeper, “tired” is rarely just about sleep.
Maybe you’re getting 8 hours and still waking up foggy. Maybe you feel restless at night, even though your body is begging for rest. Or maybe you’re dragging yourself through the day with a smile, feeling totally disconnected from your spark.
If this sounds familiar, your nervous system might be trying to get your attention.
Energy is more than just physical. Every thought, emotion, and experience we’ve had—especially the ones we haven’t fully processed—leave an imprint in the nervous system. Over time, these build up, forming what we call blockages.
These blockages might show up as:
- A tight chest or throat
- An anxious mind that won’t slow down
- Fatigue that lingers no matter how “well” you’re doing everything else
- Or even a feeling that you’ve lost your passion, drive or direction
These are all signs of energy getting stuck, blockages forming in the spine.
Spinal Flow works with the nervous system to gently clear those stored patterns, the blockages, without pushing or force. We don’t override the body. We support it in remembering how to regulate, how to release, and how to return to balance.
Clients often describe feeling:
- Lighter
- More spacious in their chest or belly
- A return of their creative energy
- More grounded in their body, without even trying
- Sometimes, all it takes is a gentle reminder that it’s okay to let go.
Life flows when energy flows If you’re feeling flat, foggy or like your spark is missing… your body might be holding onto more than you realise.
Spinal Flow is one way to listen to what it’s been trying to say.
When you're ready, I’d love to welcome you into the space.
