Understanding the Energy Impact of Shock, Grief and Anxiety in Daily Life

Working with other people’s Energy over the years has taught me a lot. Every person’s Energy flow is unique, shaped by their personal experiences, emotional responses and ways of dealing with life’s ups and downs. Even people who’ve faced similar challenges often respond in very different ways, which impacts their Energy in unique patterns.

In this post, I’ll share some broad observations about how shock, grief and anxiety can affect our Energy and how understanding these impacts can support healing. My hope is that this insight may offer an element of guidance for anyone navigating the Energy shifts that come with life’s tougher moments. 

Of course, please seek the professional assistance you need if you are feeling overwhelmed.

The Energy Impact of Shock

Shock is an Energy “explosion.” When life throws an unexpected, intense event our way, our Energy can become scattered and chaotic. Some people may have an immediate meltdown, while others step up to organise and keep their emotions at bay - at least initially. Neither of these responses is “better” or “worse”; they’re just different ways of handling intense disruption.

When I work with people who’ve experienced shock, no matter how long ago, I often see their Energy as fragmented, almost like pieces scattered in all directions. This scattered Energy can contribute to an ongoing sense of anxiety or disconnection, making it difficult to feel grounded or centred on one’s own.

Working with Energy to process shock can be incredibly healing. Grounding techniques, with the support of an Energy worker, can help filter and consolidate this scattered Energy, bringing calm and stability back into your life. While mental health professionals are amazing at helping people process the mental and emotional aspects of shock, addressing the Energetic impact adds an essential layer to healing.

The Energy Impact of Grief

Grief has the power to knock your Energy sideways. Whether a loss is sudden or expected, grief changes everything. Your world becomes different without that person in it and with that shift comes an immense Energetic change.

From an Energy perspective, I often observe that people almost become a new version of themselves after a significant loss. Their Energy shifts as they grapple with a life altered by absence. They're not broken even though that may be how they are feeling. They are simply feeling overwhelmed by this new version of themselves in a life that feels very different due to the loss they have experienced. 

Perspectives change enormously and instantly. As a result, vulnerability takes over and a sense of being 'lost' can result. 

When I work with clients dealing with grief, I often find that simply helping them tune into their feelings can be incredibly grounding. Grief tends to come in waves, sometimes hitting without warning. Having someone to help create a balanced space, where you can process these waves as they come, allows you to carry on with daily life while learning to coexist with the grief. Over time, grief becomes something that moves along beside you rather than something that overwhelms you.

The Energy Impact of Anxiety

Anxiety is a massive drain on Energy. When I tune into the Energy of someone struggling with anxiety, I often see a “spinning” sensation, as if they’re constantly up in the air, disconnected, expending a shit load of Energy yet getting nowhere. This endless spinning is exhausting and can leave you feeling powerless and unable to move forward.

People experiencing anxiety often try to mask it, only for it to come out in confusing ways - like a meltdown over a seemingly minor issue, a need to control everything at all times or a desire to retreat from the potentially fun things that life offers and avoid social interaction altogether. None of these options feel good to the person experiencing them, but anxiety often makes them feel out of control and choosing a better option for themselves can be elusive.

Energy work can help unravel the chaotic Energy of anxiety. It’s challenging to untangle anxiety on your own because you’re stuck in the middle of it. With the support of someone who can take a step back and view your Energy from an outside perspective, you can start to untangle those anxious knots. This process of Energy redirection can help you feel more grounded, giving you the clarity to make decisions and feel more at peace.

Healing and Moving Forward

Healing from shock, grief or anxiety is possible and Energy work can be a powerful part of that process. Finding someone whose approach resonates with you is key. There are many ways to work with Energy and you may need to explore different modalities to find the best fit for you. Sometimes a single life altering experience can create multiple layers of Energetic chaos and working through these layers gradually can make a huge difference.

Remember, your Energy is not a solid part of you to be "fixed". It’s always evolving as you move through life, which means there’s always potential for growth, healing and positive change. You are entirely deserving of shedding the Energetic weight that may be holding you back and uplifting your Energy to support a more peaceful and fulfilling life.

If you’re ready to explore Energy work further or would like guidance on navigating your unique Energy patterns, consider booking yourself a session with me. I’m here to support you as you work through these Energetic shifts and find clarity and strength within yourself.

Love & Abundance,
