Energy is Real—Why Do We Keep Pretending It Isn’t?
In the modern world, materialist science reigns supreme. If something cannot be measured, quantified, and replicated in a controlled study, it is dismissed as pseudoscience, quackery, or delusion. Yet, those of us who have undergone profound, life-altering healing experiences outside of this framework know the limitations of the scientific method when it comes to the full scope of human existence. We have seen the transformation that comes when we move beyond intellect alone and integrate the intelligence of the body, emotions, and energy field.
The irony is that some of the most groundbreaking scientific minds are actively studying extrasensory intelligence, energy healing, and consciousness beyond the brain—but their work is often dismissed, ignored, or buried under the weight of materialist dogma. Despite compelling evidence from quantum physics, neuroplasticity, and biofield research, the mainstream narrative refuses to acknowledge what many of us already know through direct experience: energy is real, it is interactive, and it influences our well-being on every level.
For years, I was unwell—mentally, emotionally, and physically. I sought out all the conventional, evidence-based approaches, desperate for relief. And yet, nothing truly shifted until I discovered the practice of energy hygiene. Only then did I begin to see the profound ways in which I had been absorbing and carrying the unprocessed pain of others. Only then did I start to reclaim my sovereignty and experience lasting and dynamic healing.
The Unraveling
The period of my life where everything fell apart was not just difficult; it was excruciating. Chronic pain and stress dominated my days, accompanied by a fog of emotional and mental distress that no amount of cognitive therapy or self-help books seemed to lift. I tried to reason my way out of it, to fix myself with intellect alone, but my body and emotions had their own truths. What I lacked was a cohesive approach—a way to bring together the wisdom of my mind, body, emotions, and spirit.
I had incredible teachers, practitioners, and healers along the way, but none of them were speaking to each other. Instead, I was left to navigate conflicting advice and incomplete perspectives, which only deepened my fragmentation. I lost trust in my own inner authority, looking outside myself for answers when the real work was to unify my sources of wisdom and discern what was right for me.
And, if I’m honest, I may not have been able to receive that guidance even if it had been perfectly delivered. I was dysregulated, reactive, and caught in a loop of self-criticism and grasping for relief. I was too overwhelmed to recognize what was already available to me.
The Shift
I worked in manual therapy, helping people overcome their own experience of pain in the body. Yet, despite widespread recognition among manual therapists that energetic exchange occurs during treatments, managing one's own energy space is not something formally taught in training. Without these skills, I unknowingly became an open channel for my clients to offload their pain, emotions, and unprocessed energy. But without the skills to remain sovereign in my energy, I became an open channel for them to offload into. I absorbed their pain, their emotions, and their unprocessed energy without even realizing it. Massage therapy has a high burnout rate, and I can’t help but wonder if this missing piece—energy sovereignty—is a major factor.
Some years later, when my nervous system finally began to settle, when I was less reactive and more self-compassionate, I stumbled into a free workshop on clairvoyant meditation. In 90 minutes, something profound happened: my body’s pain lifted. I saw clearly that my back pain wasn’t entirely mine—it was an accumulation of the pain I had unknowingly absorbed from others. Layers of unprocessed energy clung to me like wallpaper in my field. My depression, too, was tangled up with unresolved emotions that did not originate within me.
At that moment, I understood why none of my prior efforts had fully worked. The physical injury—the herniated lumbar disc—had long since healed, but the imprint of pain remained lodged in my body, emotions, mind, and energy field. What needed to be cleared was not just physical but energetic. I started incorporating energy hygiene practices consistently—clearing, protecting, reclaiming, and managing my energy field—and the results were undeniable.
The Proof in Practice
It wasn’t just me. When I began sharing what I was doing with others, I saw them experience the same undeniable shifts. People who had been stuck in cycles of exhaustion, anxiety, or inexplicable pain started reporting clarity, vitality, and a sense of lightness. This wasn’t a fluke. The process worked, and it worked repeatedly.
I spent the next two years deepening my practice, learning to refine and integrate these skills into my daily life. And what I discovered was simple but powerful: when we tend to our energy with the same care we give our physical and mental health, everything changes. We stop absorbing the weight of the world. We regain clarity. We reclaim our space.
It Doesn’t Have to Be Hard
Reclaiming energetic sovereignty doesn’t have to be a grueling excavation of past wounds. Healing actually happens best in lightness, levity, and joy. When we engage with the practice of energy clearing, protection, and management, we should feel lighter, freer, and even amused. If it feels heavy, if it feels like suffering, then we are likely still being influenced by lower frequencies.
What is required, however, is consistency.
Consistency in believing that we deserve more than chronic depletion and pain.
Consistency in showing up for ourselves; even when we falter or forget, we get back at it as soon as we remember.
Consistency that eventually gives way to devotion—an unwavering commitment to living as our true, unburdened selves.
This devotion is not about rigidity; it is about alignment. And when we reach this state, tending to our energy no longer feels like work—it becomes an effortless expression of our highest nature. It becomes as obviously important as breathing.
Raising the Collective Frequency
If a practice brings you peace and harms no one, then it is worth doing. The more of us who feel good, the more we raise the overall frequency of the world and universe as a whole.
There is already too much polarization, greed, and fear in our collective consciousness. If we fixate on these energies, we amplify them. But when we choose to tune into joy, love, and pronoia—the belief that the universe is conspiring in our favor—we shift reality itself.
And this isn’t just philosophy; science backs it up. Studies in neuroplasticity show how thoughts literally rewire the brain. Quantum physics suggests that observation itself influences matter. The field of bioenergetics is uncovering how electrical and energetic systems in the body impact our health and well-being. Research in epigenetics shows that thoughts and emotions generate vibrational frequencies that can influence cellular function and even gene expression, shaping our biology in ways we are only beginning to understand. The reality is, the science of energy is here—it’s just waiting for mainstream acceptance.
I know how impossible it can feel to connect with love when we are caught in pain. But every mystic, sage, and enlightened teacher has said the same thing: love is the highest frequency. It is the source code. It is the key.
The Call to Sovereignty
This isn’t about blind faith or rejecting reason—it’s about reclaiming the parts of ourselves that have been ignored, dismissed, or suppressed. It’s about stepping into the full spectrum of intelligence we have access to: mental, emotional, physical, and energetic.
The world needs more people who are clear, grounded, and self-led. Who are no longer absorbing the chaos around them but actively transforming it. Who are no longer leaking energy but radiating strength. Who understand that protecting their energy isn’t selfish—it’s essential.
If you are ready to stop outsourcing your power, to stop carrying what was never yours to hold, and to step into the full capacity of your being—then it’s time to take back your energy. Not someday. Not when the world finally catches up. But now.
Because when we are harmonized, open, and sovereign, anything is possible. This work is not about bypassing the pain of the world but about increasing our capacity to hold it alongside joy, hope, and love.
When we are harmonized, open, and spacious, anything is possible.
