The nature of blocks is also dual, like our human nature. To understand it more deeply, imagine the flow of energy in your body like the flow of a river, with its bends and widening bed. Constrictions, congestions, broken dams on it will correspond to injuries, illnesses, conflicts that impede the flow of healthy energy that need to be cleared - and this is one side of the blocks.
On the other hand, a river has its own banks, gentle slopes, and sometimes harsh rocks that force it to flow in a certain direction. Here the blocks act as massive barriers that direct the flow of energy, restrain it, and prevent it from overflowing its banks. Clearly they have power! This is another property of blocks - we need these restrictions until a certain time, because they guide our movement through life.
from a psychological point of view, a block is a stable tension in the body, behind which there is an actual human problem;
from the point of view of functional anatomy, a block is a state of tissue characterized by its shortening, increased density and rigidity;
from a chiropractic point of view, a block is a partial or complete restriction of mobility in a motion segment or joint;
from a bioenergetics point of view, a block is the encapsulation of a certain part of energy in a certain part of the body.
Technically, the formation of blocks in the body occurs as follows: every action or thought (causal or mental levels) in a state of stress is accompanied by an emotional reaction, behind which there is an etheric sensation. The latter represents multiple microscopic muscle strains. Finding himself in situations that are typical for his picture of the world, a person receives a typical set of similar muscle tensions. In each such typical situation, a kind of muscle training occurs - so that gradually these tensions become habitual and form chronic muscle spasms.
Thus, each body block contains the memory of all the corresponding splits in the buddhic plane, errors in professional and personal activities (causal plane), inaccurate and erroneous thoughts and intellectual dead ends (mental plane) and emotional conflicts (astral plane).
There are countless different types of blocks, and each person has their own, unique ones. The most surprising thing is that often we are not even aware of them. Even with the strongest blocks, which manifest themselves in constant muscle tension, people remain completely unaware of their existence. Why? Because many are simply accustomed to this state of affairs. The only thing that lets you know about the presence of a block is discomfort or illness.
2. What types of blocks are there?
Like our psyche, bodily blocks have their own history and depth. Three levels can be distinguished. Blocks can be at the level of our consciousness, making it narrow and clumsy. At the level of the unconscious, they act as dams or congestions from old traumas, preventing one from being open and spontaneous. At a deeper level, they can become harsh attitudes of previous generations, distorted values, genetic limitations that do not allow us to fully use our original potential. Often, patients describe blocks as masks, tourniquets or ropes that entangle the body. They can either tie our hands, preventing us from expressing true feelings, or they can fetter our hips, preventing us from being spontaneous and sexual. Over the course of our lives, we collect a whole “collection” of such ropes, protections and masks.
In body-oriented therapy, the object of study is tension, which is essentially a deviation from the norm and distinguishes between functional and organic tension, and functional tension, in turn, is divided into three types: superficial (situational), defensive and psychosomatic.
Surface tension occurs as a result of physical overload - prolonged exposure to an uncomfortable position, difficult work, specific load, etc. This type of tension is the most noticeable, it is what they usually feel, they are well aware of it and know a lot of ways to deal with it. A contrast shower, a glass of mulled wine, exercise, hot tea, a good sound sleep, a few minutes of “laughter therapy”, a massage, closeness with a loved one - and the fatigue is gone. Surface tension is perfectly relieved by simple relaxation techniques.
Protective tension, as the name suggests, arises as a way for the body to respond adequately to external influences or an unusual situation. This type of tension can best be seen in an atypical situation in which a person finds himself. So, if a person finds himself in an unfamiliar company and from the threshold falls under the sight of curious and wary eyes, his body instantly seems to be constrained by a shell and his movements become rigid, jerky, the person feels awkward. The tension of defense, and with it bodily stiffness, goes away only after some time, after psychological relaxation. The basis of this mechanism is the mobilization of the body, its readiness to react in case of danger. Protective tension leaves the body in a matter of minutes, however, a very common phenomenon is the chain transmission effect: feeling protective tension, a person assumes that something is wrong with him and becomes psychologically tense just because this is happening to him. Then such a person begins to struggle with his own defense, i.e. with yourself, the tension increases. After some time, the immediate environment predominantly begins to react to this constantly overstressed person with unmotivated and little-conscious aggression, which, in turn, makes him tense up even more. A person ceases to distinguish between external stimuli, he now defends himself from everything and just in case. Most likely, such a person will say that the world is hostile and one must always be on guard. His body takes on the characteristics of being aggressive and defensive.
Psychosomatic tension is the subject of “interest” of the body therapist in the first place. In itself, it has a formative function in relation to the body and is the result of a person’s psychological experience, a consequence of psychological trauma and experiences. It is at this level that the blocks are located. At this level, a person feels the merging of the pain of the body with the pain of the soul.
The desire to be not who a person is, non-acceptance of oneself, refusal of full reactions and, accordingly, from contact with one’s own body, suppression and lack of differentiation of emotions lead to the fact that the person generally loses the habit of reacting emotionally, or reacts untimely and inadequately. Moreover, a person is also trying to consciously impose a ban on the natural reactions of his own body.
The blocks are directly related to the nature of the action and the nature of the response, i.e. blocks appear where the impulse was blocked and do not occupy the first free space. So, if you wanted to speak out, but did not speak out, you will have a specific tension in the neck, larynx, lower jaw, cheekbones, around the lips and lips. If you wanted to cry and didn’t cry, your forehead and cheekbones will tense, the tension will spread to the nasolabial folds, eyes, and compress your chest. If you wanted to give up the case, but did not give up, driven by feeling, your shoulders will ache sadly and your stomach will remind you of itself.
As a result of receiving the first negative experience of holding back or experiencing, tension appears, on which a new layer of tension will be superimposed all subsequent times when the person experiences the same thing. Thus, the block is most similar to a multi-layer cake, where each subsequent layer is associated with a problem similar to the previous one.
3. How does trauma create a block?
The most common cause of blocks is trauma, which can be physical or emotional. The most serious traumas that potentially create a block occur during the period of human formation - in childhood, when we are especially trusting and impressionable. Injuries can occur during confrontations and disputes due to verbal or physical threats.
How does trauma create a block? Trauma is a danger signal. We instinctively freeze: we clamp down, hold our breath. In other words, we do what is contrary to the process of life - we harden, become tougher in order to protect ourselves, and, strange as it may sound, in order to survive, we “die”. Ideally, when the danger has passed, we need to return to our previous soft, living state, but in real life this is not how things happen: we remain pinched.
What's wrong with that if blocks make our lives safer? Of course, for a certain period, blocks help us survive, but once established permanently, blocks begin to pose a threat, both on a physical and emotional level.
Body: Think of a river with dams and dams. So blocks stand in the way of our inner river, our life, health and energy. Our heart, liver and other organs have to work hard so that the flow of blood and lymph can reach certain areas. What a waste of energy! The area behind the block will lack power, while on the other side the pressure will increase. Frustration, pain, and illness can manifest on both sides of this “dam.” Symptoms are our invaluable warning lights, they remind us that something is wrong and direct our attention to exactly where there is internal conflict.
Perhaps illness is the body's call for rest, a break, perhaps it is calling you to face what no longer serves you and change it. Perhaps illness is the last way out of the situation.
Emotions: In life, when resolving conflict situations, we often encounter strong expressions of emotions: resentment or anger. Most often they are echoes of our past traumas. Emotions are our reactions to our deepest feelings and needs.
If once upon a time your feelings were not heard, then they can still block the flow of healthy energy in the body. Present circumstances that resemble a traumatic situation can awaken fear or anxiety that has been dormant in your body for many years. In this case, you will think that the situation or partner is the cause of your emotions, but this is not the case. To understand what lies behind them, we need to meet the “monsters” of the past, sitting deep in our subconscious.
DIAGNOSTICS OF BLOCKS (using the example of another person)
The client lies on the couch on his back. The inspection is carried out according to the following scheme:
1) his breathing (do the chest, stomach breathe and does the breath enter the pelvis);
2) how elastic the chest is during breathing (how compliant the chest is to pressure);
3) how much a person can consciously breathe from the stomach (the therapist places his hand on the client’s stomach and asks him to breathe);
4) chest and abdomen (by palpation, the degree of pain or tickling sensation is determined, how much the stomach is released, etc.);
5) thighs (the degree of pain or tickling sensation is determined by intense palpation). Of particular interest is the inner thigh. The degree of muscle tension or its “jelly-likeness” is revealed. Both tense and jelly-like muscles are blocked in terms of the passage of energy;
6) buttocks (same technique);
7) how blocked the pelvis is (movement of the pelvis back and forth when breathing, entry of breath into the pelvis).
8) The following exercise is suggested: stand with your knees slightly bent, feet shoulder-width apart, body weight concentrated at the base of your toes. You need to move your pelvis as far as possible, while bending your knees slightly, and make a movement to release the intestines. In this case, the pelvic floor muscles relax. Then the pelvic floor muscles should be “lifted” - they contract. A person may not feel the difference between contraction and relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles, and this indicates tension in these muscles (the person cannot relax them). The person may also feel that only conscious effort releases the pelvic floor muscles, which then spontaneously contract. The genesis of pelvic floor muscle tension is associated either with early “purity training” (too early potty training), or with early masturbatory inhibitions, or may relate to masturbatory inhibitions during puberty.
9) the degree of tension in the muscles of the back of the neck and shoulders (it is important to check the tension of the paravertebral muscles of the cervical spine, especially at the junction of the neck with the skull (testing techniques as in point 4));
10) throat clamps (manifested in a quiet, somewhat high-pitched voice, the appearance of a “lump” in the throat, spasms of the throat during excitement, fairly frequent nausea with simultaneous difficulty initiating vomiting);
11) tension of the circular muscles of the mouth (with the usual chronic tension of these muscles, the tension is not realized; upon palpation, the upper and lower lips are tense, tightly closed, there are specific circular wrinkles around the mouth, the lower lip can protrude forward, revealing a tendency to call);
13) tension of the circular muscles of the eyes (the presence of radial wrinkles, blurred vision, “lifeless” eyes, absence of tears when crying - signs of an eye block);
SIMPLE TECHNIQUES FOR WORKING WITH BLOCKS IN THE BODY:
Part 1:
Take a comfortable body position.
Lie down, close your eyes, relax.
Feel the space that fills your body.
Feel your breath.
Notice your body's signals and sensations and reconnect with them.
Part 2:
Consciously evoke in your imagination that negative image-key that starts the work and forms a block in the body. Then, having seen the picture, begin to expose it, making it white, erasing the image until it completely disappears. You can also hear sounds, and at the same time, translate them into the sound of water (the sound of a waterfall), erasing negative images from the body.
Practice this technique as often as possible until the negative image appears and disappears easily and does not cause you discomfort.
Two effective techniques for working with body blocks.
The essence of this work is as follows. First, the area of the body responsible for the problem is traced, and the most spasmodic muscle in this area is located.
Next, multi-level work is carried out, in which two additional techniques are used.
The first one is “open the body.” The term open the body means that, firstly, the selected area should be as relaxed as possible, and secondly, that it should create the feeling that the body tissues are becoming permeable or spreading apart. Many people in this state have a sensation and visual image of a flow of pathogenic energy leaving the body.
The second technique is to “expand the sense of the boundaries of the body.” It consists of creating a feeling as if the boundaries of the physical body are moving away, and the surrounding space, together with the objects filling it, become part of it.
The first technique for transforming body blocks begins with the steps listed above, to which both new techniques are added:
create a state of awareness (concentration and deconcentration);
create an image of a problem situation;
expand the sense of the boundaries of the body to such a size that the image of the problem situation appears inside this area;
Continuing to follow the instructions from the previous paragraphs, open the body. After this step, there is a feeling of flows from problem areas of the body. We call problematic zones those areas in which discomfort arises when creating a problematic image. These flows are associated with the image; you can be convinced that if you strengthen the image (i.e. make it bright, contrasting, colorful, clear, three-dimensional, moving, sounding, etc.), then the flows also increase. The following steps are followed:
Find the muscle block in the sensation zone. Squeeze the muscle block with such force as to produce the maximum amount of pain that can be tolerated without losing control.
Direct your concentration to relax this muscle and the tissues around it - strengthening, expanding, as if drawing in, defocusing the pain.
Continue to hold the image and relax the muscle. Direct concentration simultaneously to the image and to the area of the compressed muscle where there is a response to the image. At the same time, defocus your attention so that you become aware of the parts of the body that include this muscle and other muscles in which there is a response to the image, as well as the area of the “expanded” body where the image itself is located.
Continue this process until the pain and discomfort turn into feelings of warmth and comfort. Comfort is experienced in peripheral attention - around the compressed muscle and in other, sometimes quite distant areas of the body.
Continuing to perform all the previous steps and maintaining concentration on the image, we simultaneously receive two sensations in one zone. This is a feeling of warmth and comfort that arises in the process of unblocking, and at the same time a feeling of discomfort created by the image of the problem. These two sensations interact intensely if concentration is directed towards them, and this entire area is in the deconcentration zone.
It is forbidden to think about the problem at this moment. Both peripheral and central attention should be entirely occupied with maintaining contact with the sensation and image of the problem.
This process continues until transformation begins.
Work with a problem can be considered completed when it ceases to be perceived as a problem. A new vision comes that either contains a solution or makes the problem irrelevant. At the same time, the bodily block partially or completely relaxes and becomes painless.
Note: one and the same bodily block, as a rule, contains the memory of many similarly experienced (but different in content) problems, therefore the work on the complete transformation of one block includes many sessions of work on the transformation of problems.
The second technique uses yogic asanas. First (simultaneously with the asana), the first four steps of the previous technique are performed. Then the following steps are added:
While remaining in the asana, become aware of all areas of the body where there is pain or discomfort.
Relax these zones, direct concentration to these zones; increase the feeling of discomfort by relaxing the body.
Open your body in these areas while continuing to relax your muscles. In each of these zones the feeling and image of flow appears.
Create an image of a problem situation. Determine what emotion arises.
Expand the sense of the boundaries of the body so that the image of the problem is inside. Become aware of additional areas of tension caused by the image and open them.
Stabilize the state by continuing to open and relax the body.
Remain in the asana until the state is completely integrated.
Go to the next asana and repeat all steps, working with the same image, or take the image of the next task.
A series of exercises that allow, firstly, to become aware of muscle tension and how it limits breathing, and, secondly, to reduce tension.
Exercise 1. Strengthening rooting and vibration.
Starting position - feet shoulder-width apart, feet slightly turned inward so as to feel the gluteal muscles. Bend forward and touch the floor with your fingers, while lowering your head as low as possible, breathing through your mouth, free and deep. When bending over, your body weight should be concentrated at the base of your toes.
This exercise is performed for at least 25 breathing cycles and gradually increases to 60. After a while, the legs begin to tremble, which means a wave of excitement is passing through them. If there is no trembling, then the legs are too tense. In this case, you can provoke trembling by slowly bending and straightening your legs. The movements should be small: their goal is to relax the knees.
Exercise 2. “Releasing” the belly.
Starting position - standing, feet shoulder-width apart. It's easy to bend your knees. Without lifting your heels from the floor, transfer your body weight to them. After this, “release” the stomach as much as possible. Breathing freely, through the mouth. The purpose of the exercise is to feel tension in the lower body.
Exercise 3. “Bow” (Fig. 4.6, b).
Starting position - feet shoulder-width apart. Place your fists on the sacrum area and bend back as far as possible, like a bow being drawn. This exercise is also aimed at “releasing” the abdominal muscles. If there are chronically tense muscles, then the person, firstly, is not able to perform the exercise correctly (Fig. 4.7, a-d), and secondly, feels pain that prevents the exercise.
One of the most important conditions for bioenergetic work is the absence of conscious forcing of breathing. Therefore, if breathing is shallow, then its conscious stimulation is artificial. Therefore, some techniques are used to spontaneously deepen breathing.
Exercise 4. A person lies down on a bolster (for example, made from a blanket), which lies on a stool 0.5 m high
Mouth breathing. In this position, the back muscles are well stretched, which at the same time relax, “letting go” of the chest. Breathing spontaneously deepens. Possible back pain. If it is small (and the patient does not have spinal pathologies), you should continue the exercise and the pain will go away.
This exercise so energetically shakes up suppressed emotions and weakens muscle blocks that the phenomenon of unconscious expression often occurs - crying and vomiting occur. This situation means that bioenergetic work has outpaced analytical work. In this case, it is necessary to speed up the analytical work, since the patient must understand what is happening to him.
Exercise 5 releases throat constrictions and stimulates spontaneous deepening of breathing.
The same exercise encourages crying (and possibly screaming). In a sitting position, you should relax (as much as possible) and then exhale stops (one groan per exhalation, which is done as long as possible). Then you need to try to make a groan while inhaling. After three full cycles, the groan should be replaced with the sound “Oooh”. When the outlet reaches the abdomen, crying usually begins, but the client does not feel any sadness. Crying is the main means of correcting breathing and releasing tension, especially in children.
Now we will describe a series of exercises to remove blocks from the pelvic muscles.
Exercise 6. “Rotation of the hips.”
Starting position - standing, feet shoulder-width apart. The body weight is concentrated on the toes, the stomach is released. Hands are on your hips. In this position, the person rotates his hips from left to right. This movement should involve the pelvis and minimally the upper body and legs. Breathing freely, through the mouth. It is necessary to make 12 movements in one direction, then the same number in the other. When performing the exercise, you should pay attention to whether breathing is restrained, whether the pelvic floor remains relaxed and the anus open, and whether the knees are bent.
It cannot be said that if a person easily does this exercise, then he is free from genital tension and sexual problems. But it can be argued that if a person is not able to easily perform this exercise, then he has sexual problems. It is very important that when performing this exercise a person is rooted, otherwise the movements of the pelvis lack emotional coloring.
Exercise 7. Movement of the pelvis.
This exercise helps you become aware of tension in your pelvis and lower back. Starting position - lying on your back on the floor, legs bent at the knees so that your feet are on the floor. As you inhale, push your buttocks into the floor and release your belly; as you exhale, the pelvis rises slightly, your feet press down on the floor (rooting). The exercise is repeated for 15-20 breathing movements. Breathing freely, through the mouth. It is important that in this exercise the breathing is abdominal and “goes into the pelvis”, the breathing movements and the movements of the pelvis should be coordinated, and the buttocks should be relaxed. If the feet lose the feeling of contact with the floor, this means that the pelvis is not free in its movements.
When there is tension in the lower body, a person tends to push the pelvis upward instead of allowing it to swing freely through the hip joints. In this case, the pelvis is carried upward by tense abdominal muscles and tense buttocks. This movement of the pelvis blocks its spontaneous movements and reduces sexual experience.
Here are some cathartic exercises that provide practice in expressing feelings under controlled conditions. The purpose of this control is not to suppress and limit emotions, but to express them effectively and economically under the control of consciousness.
In the exercise, 8 people lie down on a couch.
Legs are relaxed. Hands should hold onto the edge of the couch. You need to raise your leg and hit the couch with your foot with an emphasis on the heel (i.e., not just hit, but kick). At first this is done at a slow pace and with little force, then the tempo and force of the blows increase. At the end the blows must be very strong and very fast. During the exercise, a person should remember the injustices and grievances he has experienced. This exercise allows you to express anger, and also helps to release the pelvis.
Exercise 9 involves the patient hitting the couch with his fists (if it’s a man) or a tennis racket (if it’s a woman), accompanying his actions with the words “shut up!”, “I’ll kill!”, “no!”, “why?!” etc. This exercise discharges anger, but the goal of therapy is not the discharge of anger itself, but the achievement of facia, so the movements should be smooth: before each blow, the patient should stretch out his whole body and move his shoulders as far as possible, as if pulling a bow , and the blow must be delivered not by contracting the muscles, but by releasing the hands from the “charged” position; the blow must be relaxed and free. If the exercise is performed correctly, a wave of excitement flows from the feet to the palms, giving grace to the movements. The goal of this exercise is not the punches themselves, but to stretch the muscles, allowing tension from the shoulders and upper back to shine through.
Bioenergy therapy also includes so-called “warm-up” exercises.
Exercise 10.
In the basic bioenergetic pose (feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent), the body is freely shaken by quickly bending and straightening the knees. In this case, breathing occurs, reminiscent of a dog. The exercise is carried out for one minute.
Exercise 11.
The patient hops on both legs, only slightly lifting his feet off the ground. The exercise is performed until fatigue appears.
In addition, there are specific techniques for removing blocks of the mouth (screams, imitation of gagging, crying, etc.), eyes (circular rotation of the eyes, shifting the gaze into the distance - to the tailbone of the nose), neck (rotation of the neck in different directions). All exercises are performed with free breathing through the mouth. Exercises have been developed for all parts of the body in standing, sitting and lying positions.
Performing bioenergetic exercises allows patients to feel their body in a new way and realize that they do not have contact with many of its parts, to feel the tension that blocks both bodily movements and the expression of feelings.
This training consists of several sessions lasting two hours, and each session consists of two stages: preparatory and own bioenergetic. The purpose of the preparatory phase is to create high-quality partner communication. The bioenergetic stage is associated with the development of bodily blocks.
The training includes the following exercises:
1) feeling different. After establishing verbal contact, the partners lie down in a “jack” position and place their hands on each other’s stomachs in the solar plexus area. Partners should feel each other’s heartbeat and synchronize their breathing;
2) talking with the eyes. This exercise is performed in silence and without words. Partners sit opposite each other, hold hands and look into each other's eyes. Then they close their eyes and immerse themselves in themselves, and after a while they “return” to each other again. This is done several times. The exercise allows you to immerse yourself in your own feelings and those of your partner;
3) silent conversation using hands. Partners hold hands and, with the help of one hand, try to communicate their feelings to each other. This is followed by a verbal discussion of the exercise;
4) “I - you”. One partner grabs the head of the other and, looking into his eyes, says: “You, you, you!” Then they change. This exercise helps to establish contact;
5) feeling the energy of another. Sitting on their heels, partners raise their hands and bring their palms closer to the palms of the other, trying to feel his warmth. After this, they begin the “hand dance”, with one partner leading and the other accompanying (the leader is determined spontaneously). Movements should be slow. During the “dance,” the partners stand up and continue standing. This is followed by a discussion of the exercise;
6) greeting without words. The partner who chose the passive role in the previous exercise lies on his back and bends his knees so that his feet are on the floor. The active partner sits on the heels of the passive partner’s head (the active partner’s knees touch the passive partner’s crown), after which he brings his hands as close as possible to the passive partner’s ears, but does not touch them. Then the active partner touches the passive partner’s head and, trying to breathe in his rhythm, examines his stomach, chest and tries to determine which muscles are tense;
7) development of breathing. Starting position - as in the previous exercise. The active partner, without touching, brings his palm to each tense area of the passive partner's body, which helps the passive partner relax these areas. Most often, the upper (clavicle area) and lower (solar plexus area) parts of the chest are tense. The active partner places his fingers on these places and presses on them while the passive partner exhales. One hand of the active partner is then placed over the chest and the other over the belly of the passive partner. When the passive partner inhales, he first raises his chest (thoracic breathing), and then his stomach (abdominal breathing) and thus takes a full breath. If the passive partner holds the air at the end of the exhalation, then the active partner should place both hands on the collarbone area and press on his chest at the end of the exhalation. This involves the upper chest in breathing;
8) massage of the back of the neck, shoulders and face. Massage relaxes the facial muscles, helps remove the usual “mask”;
9) movement of the pelvis. The passive partner lies on the floor with his knees bent and feet planted. The active partner sits on his heels between the passive partner’s legs, grabs his hips and helps raise his pelvis as he exhales. This movement is performed for 5 minutes. It is important to coordinate the movement of the pelvis and breathing;
10) direction of energy to the floor. Starting position - as in the previous exercise. As the passive partner exhales, the active partner presses on his knees. The purpose of the exercise is to increase the passive partner’s level of awareness of the feet as a support;
11) raises the pelvis up. In the top position, the partner can feel the vibration. During inhalation, the lying partner freely lowers his hips and returns to the starting position;
12) on all fours. The passive partner stands on all fours, and the active partner, positioned from behind, clasps his pelvis and, when the passive partner inhales, moves his pelvis back, when exhaling, forward, thereby helping the partner integrate breathing and movement;
13) joint relaxation. Partners lie on their backs, relaxing to the music.
These exercises should be accompanied by the removal of muscle blocks through massage, deepening of breathing and constant strengthening of roots. During the training, trembling, tingling and numbness of the limbs, dizziness, crying, vomiting, anger, etc. may occur, which indicates the progress of therapy.
Blocks in chakras
We all know that tension in the body is created by blocks. Blocks strain and spasm our muscles of the spine and parts of the body, destabilize the functioning of the chakras, which slows down the passage of energy to a specific chakra in the area of which the block is located. As a result, myalgia and osteochondrosis often develop in these areas. The internal organs do not receive clean energy, as a result of which the subtle bodies become clogged, then the physical body and internal organs become clogged. This is how illnesses, problems in life and failures appear, as well as character changes. Blocks can remain in the human body for a long time and create problems for many years, or even decades. Blocks are negative emotions and experiences. When there are many of them and they do not find a way out, they form a block. If there are a lot of emotions, then there can be a lot of blocks.
MAIN CAUSES OF CHAKRA BLOCK
The chakras of different people are different, and even in one person they can be developed differently in relation to each other. But there is one general rule for everyone: without the energy flows of the Earth and Space, our bodies simply could not exist and develop. Our emotional states can lead to a blockade in the chakras, which leads to disruption of energy circulation and, as a consequence, to troubles, deterioration of health, and social degradation.
Muladhara
The first chakra is red; Coccyx - Connection with the Earth, responsible for human vitality.
Blockage occurs if a person feels FEAR. This condition blocks the first chakra. To improve your work and remove the blockage, do not put your fears aside, but put them before your eyes. Face your fears. Take them apart piece by piece.
Svadhistana
The second chakra is orange; just below the navel, responsible for creative realization and satisfaction of needs.
Blocking occurs if a person feels GUILT. This is a destructive condition. Everyone who experiences it feels as if in a sticky cocoon of hopelessness. Removing the blockage occurs in the same way as when working with the first chakra. Don't walk away from this. Figure out what you see as your fault. Look at the situation from the other side.
Manipura|Manipura
The third chakra is yellow; The navel is the energy center of our body and is responsible for the strength of our intention.
Blocking occurs if a person feels SHAME, DISAPPOINTMENT. Unfortunately, we are taught this even in schools. Trying to constantly shame the child, telling him: “aren’t you ashamed?” This blocks not only the third, but also the second chakra. Unblocking a chakra is no different from unblocking the first and second chakras.
Anahata
The fourth chakra is green, the heart, and is involved in all processes of human life.
Blockage occurs if a person feels GRIEF. This is no less destructive emotional state of a person. When this chakra closes, a person experiences an unpleasant, painful state in the heart area. It is more difficult to remove the blockage than in other chakras, because... The state of apathy that accompanies all this often does not give a person the opportunity to take a sober look at the problem. It takes a lot of willpower to try to sort out the situation in a state of grief, see the reason and look at everything from the other side.
Vishuddha
The fifth chakra is blue; throat, opens up metabolism, communication.
Blocking occurs if a person chooses a LIE, a LIE TO HIMSELF. This is probably the most difficult thing - don’t lie! Especially if we communicate with people who constantly lie. They see deception in others, even if they are not deceived. Unfortunately, lies are contagious. If you understand this condition and look carefully at how it is born, you will see that it is like a virus that is transmitted from one to another. It is difficult to be immune to this, difficult, but possible. Do not answer the deceiver in the same way, do not try to deceive yourself with something. Be private to yourself.
Ajna
The sixth chakra is blue, the middle of the forehead, the third eye, adjusts the body to contact with the subconscious, spiritual will.
Blocking occurs if a person feels SEPARATION, LIVES IN ILLUSIONS. There is no need to take on more than you “can handle.” Star fever always leads to a fall. You become blind and deaf to everything. Really accept what you have. Not what the neighbor has. Don't try to be taller than your neighbor. Dreams come true if they are real.
Sahasrara
The seventh chakra is purple, above the head - connection with cosmic energy.
Blocking occurs if a person has strong EARTHLY ATTACHMENTS. Everything is implied here. Home, work, car, people. You need to learn to let go of everything. The hardest thing is letting go of the person we love. But by accepting that love is not material, this can also be done. Don't mistake your earthly attachments for dogma. Don’t put the “MY” stamp everywhere. Let everything go.
TRANSFORMATION TECHNIQUE FOR WORKING WITH BLOCKS IN THE BODY:
1. Definition of feeling.
How do I feel at this moment?
Where is this feeling or state located inside my body?
Determine the shape, color, volume of this feeling;
Next, separate yourself from this feeling, for example, exhale it onto the table in front of you.
Then you need to determine the positive intention of your feeling;
Tell him:
“You are dear to me, I carry you within me, you are part of me.”
“What good are you doing for me?”
Thank him for any answer!
Next you ask:
“Are you my... (fear, sadness, pain, etc.)?”
He can answer in different ways:
- will become a shapeshifter, turn into a different feeling;
- will say anything;
- will say that he is not yours;
The latter happens quite often. We carry within ourselves feelings that we have adopted from our parents, relatives, and environment, and consider them our own. Then you need to look for the owner of the feeling. This can be done this way: create an appropriate image by simply asking the owner of the feeling to come. And it doesn’t matter at all whether you see the image of the owner of the feeling or not - he is already energetically present there as soon as you have fulfilled the intention to create the image. And then return this feeling to its owner with the words: “this is your feeling, for a long time I carried it inside me to remember you, to love you. I give you back your feeling and give you a good place in my heart!”;
If this is your feeling, then you can, as his owner, do for him whatever he wants.
2. Satisfying the desires of your senses.
Look at your feeling and say:
“I am grateful for everything you do for me. I am your mistress and I can do for you whatever you want right now!”
Imagine yourself as a genie-wizard for whom everything is possible. Even if your feeling wants you to die, imagine a grave, erect a monument and say: “That’s it, I’m dead.” You can experiment with his desires without fear. There is nothing to be afraid of in this process. This is all a game that will help prevent terrible things from happening in real life. It’s no secret that sometimes the feelings that we carry can kill us, drag us to the grave, grind the world into powder...
If it says – I want to be with you forever, you can snap your fingers and say: “That’s it! Eternity has passed!
Experiment!
Do everything for your feeling so that it is satisfied. Give it to him until he says: “That’s enough, I don’t want anything more!”
Then you can let him go. Tell:
“Am I ready to part with my feeling, let it go?”, “When?”
Let him go. Look how it goes away, dissolves...
If it doesn't go away, then ask yourself:
“Can I allow myself to accept this feeling in my body?”
Then after some time try to let him go again...
After the feeling has gone, an emptiness forms in the body... It is important to fill this emptiness, for example, with the pearly white light of unconditional love, golden light, or the sun...
BLOCKS IN THE BODY HOW TO FIX:

- there is no need to fix anything. You just need to live, experience various aspects of this life for yourself, live with pleasure the emerging states, emotions, feelings, thoughts.
- recognize the connection between actions and consequences.
- enjoy life experience.

Many feel especially acutely that they have some internal blocks inside them that do not allow them to draw the right conclusions in a timely manner, make the right decisions, or respond to the current circumstances. That is, there is a certain internal mechanism that makes a person doubt his own abilities. It is usually called the internal block. For some it is not one, but several. And the more data blocks are present, the more difficult it is for a person.
Rice. What are energy blocks and how to remove them?
As a result, people think: “I’ll make a decision later, I don’t need it now, it’s not my thing at all.” And how many times after that did they realize that their “train” had left, opportunities were missed, potential was not realized?! How to ensure that such internal mechanisms stop working, and you are no longer thrown “to the sidelines” of success?
Energy blocks - what are they?
A person consists not only of a bodily shell, but also of many matters that are invisible to ordinary vision. They constantly interact with each other, as a result of which certain energy flows (meridians) are generated, which cannot be seen, but can be felt. These flows have entry and exit points from the human physical body. They also have points of contact with each other inside the body. These points are called chakras or energy centers.
The well-being of a person depends on the completeness and strength of the meridian. But, unfortunately, sometimes the processes of formation, interaction and movement of energy flows are disrupted, which leads to an imbalance of both individual organs and the body as a whole. In other words, energy blocks (nodes) appear that interfere with the normal movement of energy and contribute to the development of all kinds of pathologies.
How to remove energy blocks?
This effective technique, which allows you to break energy knots, has some contraindications:
- vascular dysfunction
- heart disease
- asthma
- glaucoma
In the presence of these pathologies, independent elimination of energy blocks using the technique that will be described below is contraindicated. In this case, you need to contact a specialist, and only under his supervision can you carry out the exercises.
And for those who have no contraindications, you can begin to independently get rid of energy blocks. The time of the procedure is morning or afternoon. Evening and night are undesirable periods. It is not permissible to consume any food while performing the exercises. You can't drink either.
Exercises to remove energy blocks
Take off your shoes, stand in the middle of the room, place your arms along your body. There is no need to close your eyes. Begin to take deep breaths/exhales through your nasal passages. Don't open your mouth. Perform the exercise for 7 minutes. After this, take a short break (no more than a minute).
Next, proceed to the second stage. Sit on a chair (armchair), keep your back straight, place your hands on your knees, and keep your eyes open. Do the same exercise (inhale/exhale through your nose for 7 minutes). Then again pause for a minute.
And the final stage is the same block of sharp inhalations/exhalations for 7 minutes. In this case, you need to lie on your side. A sofa or daybed is suitable for this. If the sofa is too soft, lie on the floor with a blanket on it. At the end of the procedure, you should lie quietly for some time so that breathing is completely restored.
This powerful practice will help in a short period of time. After exercise, body reactions such as lacrimation, a short runny nose, cough, shortness of breath, and minor pain in any part of the body are possible. Don't worry, this is normal. Continue to conduct sessions every 2 days. The course should consist of 5-8 procedures.
The world around us is filled with negative information: we worry, suffer, solve problems, and enter into conflicts with other people. In the frantic pace of the modern world, we live under constant stress and emotional overload. All these factors negatively affect our psyche. But the main problem is not even an excess of negative emotions, but the fact that we cannot throw them out, but accumulate them within ourselves. This is how emotional blocks are formed. Let's look at this process in more detail, and also look at how to remove energy blocks from yourself.
How emotional blocks are formed
We are constantly in a struggle with the world around us, with other people, with ourselves. During conflict, a large amount of energy is released in our body. Anger, aggression, fear - all these are quite strong feelings. Sometimes we spend this energy to influence the situation, to fix it. In this case, energy is wasted and a block is not formed. But it often happens that we are unable to change something. As children, we were taught that expressing negative emotions is bad. Also, due to our delicacy, politeness, good upbringing or depression, we cannot express our aggression or dissatisfaction. Maybe in front of you is a boss, a child, a loved one or an old mother whom you will not allow yourself to shout at.
What types of blocks are there?
Thus, energy is not wasted, but deposited in the body in the form of a clot. Such clots disrupt the natural flow of energy in the body. In Eastern traditions this is called "chakra blocking." Blocks can arise against anyone or anything: a neighbor’s dog that doesn’t let you sleep, mosquitoes that are always bothering you with their buzzing, the tax inspectorate, the police, noisy neighbors... In short, against something that has especially irritated you or even infuriated you for a long time time.
A block against a specific person or situation can grow if you experience some negative emotions about it again and again. Can you imagine how big blocks of spouses who have lived together for thirty years can reach if they constantly quarrel? The mere sight of a spouse causes irritation, and a person is ready to explode at any little thing. Sooner or later, the energy breaks through, and this results in a scandal with breaking dishes or an interlocutor. How to prevent such an outcome? How to remove internal blocks?
Removing the blocks
Usually the strongest and most fundamental blocks are formed in the chakra area. A certain chakra becomes clogged depending on the negative emotion that a person experiences. Thus, fear blocks the first chakra, muladhara; guilt - the second; and shame and disappointment - the third and so on. There are several ways to free your body from energy blocks.
- Holotropic breathing. This is very fast shallow breathing when the brain is oversaturated with oxygen and the person enters a high-energy state. The person enters a trance state. In this state you establish contact with the subconscious. Try to free yourself from negativity and throw out the accumulated energy. Look around your body with your inner gaze, determine where you have an accumulation of energy. Try to direct your breath to this part of the body. Be prepared for the fact that mental blocks will result in real pain in some part of the body. This indicates the effectiveness of the practice. If the pain is severe, stop the session and continue at another time. Attention! Holotropic breathing is best done under the supervision of a friend or relative.
- Effective forgiveness. This technique is described in detail in the books of Alexander Sviyash. Use holotropic breathing. Start saying words of forgiveness for each person who annoys you. For example: “I forgive Vitya for this and that and accept him with love and gratitude.”
- Meditation. If you are proficient in meditation techniques, then this option is suitable for you. Place yourself in a meditative state and ask your subconscious mind to help you identify blocks. Start scrolling through your life from the present moment back in as much detail as possible. Pay attention to those situations that somehow caught you, hurt you, upset you. This will reveal all the blocks. Ideally, you need to scroll through your life before birth, but this, of course, is not done in one session. Replay the situation that worries you in your head, but change its outcome or your behavior the way you would like. Do this until the situation no longer evokes any emotions in you - this way you will get rid of the block.
The gift of extrasensory perception can be developed. But what to do if the third eye is closed and there is a block on it that prevents you from seeing the world of spirits?
The more people learn about esotericism and the occult, the more irresistible the desire sometimes becomes to gain psychic powers and open the third eye. Moreover, some psychics assure: each of us has hidden paranormal abilities. Many, knowing this, have already tried special exercises to open the third eye. But it happens that even after diligent training, the third eye continues to be closed.
In this case, we can say that you either do little exercise, or the block in your third eye has not come off. The barrier is necessary and natural for a person so that he, not being initiated into the affairs of higher powers, is not shocked every time he encounters the other world. Much of what can be seen after removing such a block will turn out to be unpleasant and even sometimes very scary. Therefore, the Universe often protects us, and we need to find a common language with it so that it trusts you with its secrets.
Why might this block not be removed? There may be several reasons:
- you have an unstable emotional background;
- your consciousness is not yet expanded enough;
- you do not believe that you can develop your abilities;
- there were too few practices to develop abilities.
The last two can be fixed quite easily. For this there are daily exercises that will help you discover your abilities. But the first two will require long and hard work. The fact is that if your third eye opens and your emotional background is not stable enough, everything can end very sadly: your energy field, which is still quite weak, will not protect you effectively enough, which is fraught with consequences. In the world of spirits there will definitely be those who want to take advantage of you and harm you. Once you open your third eye, you will become visible to them.
Expansion of consciousness is necessary because a huge flow of information will pass through you. If you are not ready for this, you are at great risk: after all, this can lead to anything, even madness.
How to remove the block and open the third eye.
You can only learn about this from real psychics. Not all of them reveal their secrets, but the finalist of the 16th season of the “Battle of Psychics” Victoria Raidos shared the secret of how to remove the “damper”. And the most important thing she advises is to meditate. It is meditation that will strengthen your energy shell and gradually expand your consciousness. This must be done as follows.
Sit comfortably and completely relax. Remember that during meditation you should not be disturbed by any thoughts. So get rid of them first. If you feel comfortable meditating with your eyes closed, then do so. You need to concentrate on yourself. First, look inside yourself and understand your internal energy volume. Continue doing this until you feel that expansion is actually happening.
If you have never tried to meditate before, first learn the simplest meditations for beginners: after all, without their help you will not be able to expand your consciousness. Good luck to you and don't forget to press the buttons and

People have wondered about the existence of witches for centuries. Now we can say with certainty that...
Spiritual and material blocks do not allow a person to realize his potential and live happily. To work through them, it is necessary to use both spiritual techniques and exercises aimed at working with psychological attitudes.
Definition, causes
Energy blocks are clots of negative energy in the subtle body of a person. Spiritual and material blocks arise for various reasons. Most often this happens in early childhood, when a person is first exposed to various psychological traumas. This affects his future life path. Problems, conflicts, grievances, and long-term litigation with relatives also contribute to the emergence of energy blocks.
Impact on life
Blocks have an extremely negative impact on humans. He may be haunted by the same difficulties in a number of situations. For example, a professional cannot find a job for a long time, but a seemingly attractive and prosperous girl cannot start a family. At first, it seems to a person that the problem lies in external circumstances. But in reality, the cause of difficulties is clots of negative energy in his mental body.
More often they require constant replenishment - this is one of their features. For example, if a person constantly follows the behavioral stereotype that is imposed on him by society, he begins to spend his own energy on feeding all kinds of blockages in his body. This takes a lot of energy, which he cannot devote to creativity and achieving his own goals.
Energy blocks are:
- From the standpoint of psychology - persistent muscle tension, behind which in reality there is an actual problem.
- From the standpoint of anatomy and physiology, it is a painful condition of tissues, characterized by an increase or decrease in normal parameters (density, stiffness).
- From the point of view of the doctrine of bioenergy, it is the accumulation of energy in one or another part of the body.
Features of material blocks
As for spiritual blocks, they always arise due to a person’s internal imperfection, provoked by external psychological trauma. Regarding material blocks, we can also say that the original reasons for their occurrence lie outside of man. Material blocks arise due to negative attitudes towards money. This happens as a result of life failures or as a result of upbringing. Parents living in poverty pass on their worldview to their children. After this, it seems to him that he is unworthy of a rich life.
Features of blocks in the body
Energy blocks in the body have a dual nature. To understand its features in more detail, you can imagine the flow of energy in the body like the flow of a river with bends and channels. Various constrictions, congestions and broken dams correspond to trauma, disease and conflict. They do not allow healthy energy to flow.
The process of forming a physical block
The formation of an energy block occurs as follows: each of the actions or thoughts in a state of tension, stress, is accompanied by a special emotional reaction. At this time, the physical body reacts. In each of these situations, the muscle corset tenses, and over time this reaction becomes typical. A person no longer even suspects that he has energy blocks.
Which are also called energy, represent a person’s obstacle to self-development. At the energy level, psychics see them as clumps, which can manifest themselves in the form of negative psychological attitudes and muscle tension.
How to renew the flow of positive energy?
A person can not only accumulate negativity, but also cleanse his body of such experiences. To do this you should:
- Purposely do good deeds: show compassion towards other people, serve positive goals, engage in charity. Rich and famous people on our planet know about this method. Many of them specifically donate large sums of money to charities or volunteer. This allows them to attract the action of light forces to their side and relieves them of accumulated experiences.
- Develop positive personality traits. Kindness and joy allow you to get rid of negative experiences at a stage when they have not turned into somatic diseases. Scientists have proven that optimists live longer and are physically healthier than pessimists. Therefore, the best antidote to energy blocks is a positive outlook on the world.
- Take help from other people. You can also get rid of negativity by turning to the help of healers and psychics. They have special abilities that allow them to cleanse other people of illness and negativity. However, it is worth remembering that such help is always temporary. A person must learn to free himself from negativity.
- Fulfill your life mission. This could be self-realization in a profession, or the creation of a family, or the birth of a child. When a person experiences inhibition of energy in the body - especially when it comes to the energy block of the brain - difficulties often arise in professional realization and building a career. You can get rid of these kinds of blocks only by combining spiritual practices and working on your professional self-development.
Visualization
With the help of various types of relaxation techniques and meditation, a person gets the opportunity to attract more energy into his life. Qigong gymnastics is also well suited for this purpose. Especially those exercises that rely on tapping and patting. This allows you to influence biologically active points and “break” accumulated blocks.
By connecting additional energy, as well as in the process of activating energy centers, blocks of negative energy are gradually dissolved. The human energy system is freed from barriers. His state of physical health stabilizes, his psycho-emotional sphere comes into balance.
Tapping method: an effective way to remove energy blocks
In this method, the physical impact on the body consists of rhythmically tapping biologically active points with your fingers. This process is complemented by psychological techniques, namely the replacement of negative life attitudes with positive ones. In the process of tapping certain points on the body and pronouncing positive phrases, a person becomes healthier, destroying blocks.
The most convenient way to carry out the process is with two fingers. Right or left hand - it doesn't matter. You can knock with both hands at once. It is necessary to tap the dots and pronounce positive statements. How to remove energy blocks using this method? The tapping process has the following sequence:
- Start from a point at the beginning of the eyebrow.
- Then comes the corner of the eye, under the eye, under the nose.
- After this, they move to the center of the chin.
- Next comes a point in the center of the collarbone.
- The point on the very top of the head is where the crown of the head is located in babies.
A person’s energy blocks accumulate unnoticeably. To get rid of them, you need to systematically perform exercises and work on yourself. With due diligence, the result will not take long to arrive. The blocks will disappear, and life will gradually begin to improve.
