Energetic Imbalances: What They Are & How They Affect You

Mar 1

Have you ever felt ‘off’ without knowing why? Or maybe you’ve felt ‘off’ and knew exactly what caused it! Either way, that’s often a sign of an energetic imbalance—your body’s way of asking for attention and healing. Imbalance within the body is normal and necessary to show us where we need healing. So let’s dig into what imbalances in the body are and why it’s important we recognize them and respect them.

Imbalance is simply the opposite of balance. It can cause or be associated with disorder within the body, stressing the homeostasis (balance) beyond what the body can manage. This can lead to a disorder or disease. Dis-ease is the absence of ease, the absence of balance, the absence of self-healing just as dis-order is the absence of order within one’s body and energy field. Imbalances slow or stop the natural rhythm of stress and recovery in our body, ultimately stalling healing. When removed, the pressure is taken off of the stress and recovery rhythm, allowing healing to move forward.

Energetic imbalances can impact our physical, emotional, mental, and/or spiritual being. It is important to note that imbalances are entirely unique. They are completely individual and have their own unique frequency or vibration. Each imbalance has its own story. The effect an imbalance has on a person depends on that person’s state and the severity of the imbalance. Some bodies process imbalances well while others may struggle. The bottom line is that we all have them, and they all impact us differently due to our unique compositions and energetic fields.

Why It’s Important to Clear Imbalances

Interestingly, imbalances can actually serve a purpose. They help us recognize where our bodies and minds need to strengthen. They teach us and push our bodies to higher health. However, when they go unattended, ignored, or are severe enough that our body is unable to process them independently, they can wear down our system and hinder the body’s natural ability to heal. We must pay attention to our bodies, learn to listen to and recognize the symptoms of imbalance, and clear trapped energies that are holding us back from healing.
