There comes a time in every person’s journey when unprocessed emotions and outdated patterns surface, demanding to be acknowledged, felt, and released.
This process is often not smooth — it can feel disorienting, uncomfortable, or even painful. But this is not a sign of failure or weakness; it is a natural part of energy shifting and deep personal growth.

Why We Struggle to Let Go
Emotions live in the body. They don’t disappear just because we suppress them or distract ourselves. Over time, they build up in our energetic field — the subtle system that mirrors our emotional, mental, and spiritual state. When the body senses it’s safe or the timing is right, these stored energies rise to the surface for release.
Yet this is where the struggle often begins. Why?
- We identify with the pain. Emotions we’ve carried for years can feel like part of who we are. Letting go may feel like losing a part of ourselves — even if that part is based on fear, guilt, or grief.
- The mind resists change. The subconscious prefers what is familiar, even if it’s dysfunctional. New energetic patterns require new ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving — which can feel threatening to the ego.
- We lack tools or guidance. Without practices that support energetic release, we may stay stuck in loops of emotional recycling instead of transformation.
What Is Needed to Shift Energy and Break Old Patterns
Releasing emotions and shifting energy is not a mental process — it’s embodied. Here are essential elements to support this change:
1. Presence and Awareness
You can’t release what you’re not aware of. Cultivate stillness and curiosity toward what arises in your body. Journaling, breathwork, or meditation can help you observe without judgment.
2. Safe Space
Safety is key. Whether alone or with a practitioner, the nervous system must feel stable enough to process. This might mean grounding techniques, trauma-informed care, or gentle somatic practices.
3. Emotional Permission
We must give ourselves permission to feel what we’ve been avoiding — sadness, rage, shame, fear. Emotions are messengers. When we feel them fully, without resistance, they tend to move on.
4. Energetic Practices
Practices like breathwork, Reiki, somatic movement, or sound healing can help shift stuck energy from the body. Movement and vibration often access layers that words cannot reach.
5. Integration
After release, the body and mind need time to integrate the new frequency. This might involve rest, nourishment, solitude, or creative expression. Integration is how new patterns take root.
Releasing emotions from the energetic field is not about fixing or forcing — it’s about softening into what wants to move. The struggle is often part of the process, not a sign of being off-track. With the right support, intention, and embodied practice, we can shift long-held patterns and reclaim a deeper sense of freedom and vitality in our lives.
You Don’t Have to Do It Alone
If you’re moving through an emotional shift and it feels like too much to hold on your own, know that you’re not meant to carry it all by yourself.
If you need support, I’m here. Would you like me to hold space for you?
