What is pain, if not a disruption of energy flow?
Sometimes that disruption is physical — muscles firing when they don’t need to, tissue damage demanding metabolic resources for repair, or misalignment requiring extra effort for basic movement. In those cases, the body is expending more energy than the moment may typically call for.
But pain can also be energetic — when the natural circulation of life force becomes disrupted or imbalanced. Sometimes energy stagnates in one area; sometimes it struggles to reach a part of the body that has been ignored or protected.
And often, this energetic disruption is shaped by emotional experiences that never got to complete their rise-and-fall cycle. When natural expression is suppressed, the chemistry of emotion can remain in the body, shaping patterns of tension, posture, and perception long after the original moment has passed.
So I’m curious — where do you notice energy flow gets disrupted in your own body? How does it show up?
