People often look at their health, and they wonder how everything in their lives is based on how they feel. Everything is part of a system. We try to take our work life and separate it from our personal life, or even from our spiritual lives. Even in the body, though, we have different health systems that need to be worked on. When you separate each part of your life from the other, you lack the healing that you need.
Healing means that you need to understand that all parts of your body are different, but they are all connected. As you look at your health, stop making it so complicated by putting it in different sections and learning to understand that it all works together.
Everything Is Energy: How Your Healing Begins in the Human Energy Field
We’ve been taught to separate everything, work from home, mind from body, spirit from health. Even when it comes to wellness, we’re told to break ourselves into parts: fix your hormones here, your gut there, and your thoughts somewhere in between. But the truth is, this separation might be the very thing holding us back from real healing.
Healing doesn’t happen in pieces. It happens when we realize that everything is connected. Our health, our thoughts, our energy, it’s all part of one whole.
I remember being stuck in survival mode. I had labels, diagnoses, symptoms, and protocols. I chased each one separately, desperate for answers. But the more I focused on fixing one “problem area,” the more lost I felt. It was like trying to solve a puzzle with missing pieces. I didn’t realize that all those “separate” issues were really just symptoms of the same imbalance: my energy was off.
I didn’t know then that my emotional weight was just as heavy as the physical. Or that the thoughts I kept having, about not being safe, not being enough, were shaping my body just as much as my food choices.
Healing didn’t begin when I found the “right” diet or supplement. It began when I started paying attention to energy. Not just the energy I felt, but the energy I carried and the energy that surrounded me.
What Is the Human Energy Field?
Energy isn’t just something we talk about in woo-woo circles or science labs. It’s real. Everything has energy. You’re made of it. And it doesn’t just stay inside you, but it radiates outward. That energetic field around your body is often called your aura, but you can also think of it as your personal energy field.
Science backs this up. Quantum physics tells us that energy comes before matter. The frequency of your energy influences how things take shape, whether that’s your health, your relationships, or your mood. In your body, this frequency is constantly shifting based on how you’re feeling, thinking, and moving.
Your energy field isn’t just passive, it’s alive. It’s constantly picking up on the people and environments around you. Some even call it your sixth sense because it responds to things you might not consciously notice. Your home, your workplace, and your inner thoughts all affect the shape and strength of your field.
What Happens When Your Energy Field Is Out of Balance?
Just like nature finds ways to balance itself, your body does too. Think about weather, like how high- and low-pressure systems move to stabilize the atmosphere. The same kind of shifts happen in your energy. When you’re overwhelmed, anxious, or out of alignment, your energy field contracts; it might look smaller, duller, or uneven.
When you’re in a state of peace, gratitude, or joy, your energy expands. It becomes brighter and fuller. It sends out light. You’ve probably felt this without realizing it, those moments when someone just feels good to be around. That’s their energy field in a healthy state, and it has a ripple effect.
What’s wild is that many illnesses show up in the energy field before they ever show up in the body. If your energy is constantly dimmed by stress, fear, or unprocessed emotion, it’s only a matter of time before your body starts reflecting that imbalance.
Healing Your Energy Field
You don’t need fancy tools to start healing your energy. You just need to start seeing yourself as a whole.
- Release emotional baggage: Emotions that get stuck in the body will distort your energy. Letting go, whether through movement, breathwork, journaling, or therapy helps restore flow.
- Shift your thoughts: The stories you tell yourself matter. Not because they’re always true, but because they affect your frequency. A thought like “I’ll never get better” creates tension in your energy. A thought like “Healing is possible for me” opens it up.
- Protect your space: Your energy field is sensitive to your environment. That includes who you spend time with, the media you consume, and the spaces you live in. Pay attention to what makes your field shrink and what helps it grow.
Energy Is the Thread That Ties It All Together
Healing isn’t just about what you eat or what supplements you take. It’s not just about mindset or exercise. It’s about the relationship between all of those things and how they shape your energy.
Your energy field connects your body, your emotions, and your spirit. But it also connects you to other people, your environment, and the world at large. Healing your energy field doesn’t just help you feel better, but it helps you show up more fully for others.
We don’t need to keep separating things into boxes: physical, emotional, spiritual. The truth is, they’re all part of one ecosystem. And energy is what flows through it all.
Healing Your Energy Field Starts with Emotion
Healing isn’t just about taking care of your body. Real healing happens when your energy begins to move freely again. Energy is what powers every cell in your body, and when that energy gets low or blocked, you start to feel it, physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Even science is starting to catch up with what many have always known deep down: low energy often shows up before illness. And that energy doesn’t just come from what you eat or how you sleep. It’s deeply tied to your emotions.
When you’re caught in cycles of fear, stress, grief, or overwhelm, your energy field contracts. You might feel heavy, tired, or disconnected from yourself. But when you’re in a state of love, joy, or gratitude, your energy naturally expands. You become lighter, clearer, and more magnetic. Your whole body responds differently because it finally feels safe again.
Your emotional state isn’t just a part of the equation, but it’s the main ingredient.
Why Emotion Shapes Your Energy
Emotions are powerful. They make up more than 80% of your energy. That means your mood, your inner dialogue, and how you respond to the world around you have a bigger impact on your energy than any supplement or meal plan ever could.
That doesn’t mean the physical stuff doesn’t matter; it absolutely does. What you put on your skin, what you eat, and how you move all play a role. But none of it will do much if your energy is stuck in a low, defensive state.
You can do all the “right” things and still feel off. That’s why the way your body responds is more important than what you do. And your response depends on whether your body feels safe or stuck.
Healing your energy field means shifting out of survival and into a place where energy can move again. It means giving yourself permission to feel, because when you feel fully, you can finally release what’s been blocking you.
The Flow of Emotional Energy
Everything we do has an emotional root. Every decision, every reaction, every habit, but it’s all driven by emotion. And each emotion has a unique frequency. These frequencies can either raise your energy or drain it.
Here’s one way to picture it: Imagine your energy like a flowing stream. That water, which is your life force, is always there, even when it’s hard to feel. But when that stream gets blocked by grief, by stress, by old wounds, or it slows down or gets stuck. You still have energy, but it’s not moving the way it needs to.
Every negative emotion, every toxic situation, every internal or external stressor becomes like a rock in the water. The more rocks, the more the stream backs up. Eventually, the flow can feel more like a trickle.
And that’s where your energy field comes in.
Your Energy Field Is Your Buffer
Your energy field is like a boundary that protects your inner stream. When your field is strong and wide, it can take a few hits without being thrown off. Life might still throw some rocks your way, but they won’t always land. They bounce off. They stay at a distance.
But if your field is weak or small, the rocks hit you right where it hurts. They get into your stream, blocking the flow and weighing you down.
That’s why expanding your energy field is so important. The more emotional clarity you build, the more you process, understand, and regulate what you feel, the stronger your field becomes. That’s emotional intelligence, and it’s key to long-term healing.
How Emotions Shape Your Healing: Hawkins’ Scale of Energy
Your energy doesn’t just affect how you feel, but it also impacts how you heal. Emotions have actual frequencies, and when we stay in lower emotional states for too long, it can start to weigh down our entire system. But when we move into higher emotional states, our body begins to open, shift, and heal.
Dr. David R. Hawkins, a physician and spiritual teacher, developed a scale to help explain how different emotional states vibrate at different frequencies. He created what’s often called the Map of Consciousness, a scale from 1 to 1000 that shows how emotions can either drain or boost your life force.
At the bottom of the scale, you’ll find emotions like shame, guilt, fear, and apathy. These heavy states tend to slow down your energy and shrink your field. As you move up, you pass through emotions like anger and pride, until you hit more balanced states like courage, willingness, and acceptance. From there, you reach the truly transformative frequencies: love, joy, peace, and eventually enlightenment.
According to Hawkins, healing starts to really happen when you reach a vibration above 200. That’s the tipping point. Anything above that not only supports healing but it multiplies it. Anything below that can keep your body in survival mode, where chronic stress, fatigue, and illness can quietly take root.
Self-Awareness Is Where It All Begins
You can’t shift what you can’t feel. That’s why self-awareness is the most powerful tool in your healing journey.
When you notice the moment your energy dips, or when you catch yourself cycling through low-vibration thoughts, you can pause, breathe, and choose something different. You don’t have to stay stuck in those heavy feelings. There are real ways to raise your energy, and most of them aren’t complicated.
The beautiful thing? Most of the practices that lift your energy are deeply spiritual. They’re simple. They’re human. And they’re already woven into your life—you just have to notice them.
Here are a few ways to start expanding your energy field and reconnecting to higher states:
- Quiet time for prayer or meditation
- Singing, dancing, and creative expression
- Giving thanks, even in small ways
- Spending time in solitude and reflection
- Connecting with others through love and community
- Simple acts of kindness or generosity
- Physical affection, yes, hugs really do help.
- Moments of worship or awe
- Deep breathing or gentle fasting
- Living in hope and letting yourself believe in something bigger.
This isn’t about doing all the things. It’s about finding your way back into alignment. When your energy is in balance, you naturally feel lighter, clearer, and more present. That’s the energy that creates real healing, and it doesn’t have to come from effort. It starts with intention.
Start Small, Stay Consistent
You don’t have to overhaul your life to raise your energy. Just start with one or two things that feel nourishing and doable. Maybe it’s taking a walk in silence, sitting still for five minutes with your hand on your heart, or texting someone you love. Maybe it’s just breathing more deeply today than you did yesterday.
Over time, these small moments begin to shift your baseline. Your energy strengthens. You feel less reactive. Your body starts to trust that it’s safe. And from that place, healing becomes more than possible; it becomes natural.
Remember: it’s not just what you do, it’s the energy you bring to it, if your heart is in the right place, that alone has the power to shift everything.
