Why Energy Health Is the New Self-Care
In early adulthood, I was an ambitious little thing. I had checked all the boxes and I was headed for success - or was I? When I was about 30 years old I had, what I now know to be, my Saturn return.
If you are unfamiliar with this, a Saturn return is a powerful astrological event that marks a major life transition. It occurs when the planet Saturn returns to the exact position in the sky where it was at the moment of your birth—something that happens roughly every 29.5 years. It can bring up big questions around life purpose and direction.
Despite my best efforts to “get it right”, I was no exception to this rule - and the universe basically stuck its’ foot out and tripped me! My whole trajectory was in question, and who I was and who I was pretending to be were up for review. My marriage, my job, my health, and my sense of self were being pulled and pushed into new directions that I didn’t understand and there was no guidance anywhere.
I began to curse at the unseen…“Why are you doing this to me?!”
Surprisingly, I started getting answers right away! Books were jumping off the shelves to be read. I was getting new perspectives from random sources. Plus, a class was starting up the week after my therapist told me to get a hobby.
I was getting messages left and right that it was time to wake up! It was time to stop paying attention to the material world and start paying attention to the energetic world.
What Is Energetic Health?
Energetic health refers to the state of balance, flow, and vitality in your energetic body—the unseen layer of your being that includes your aura, chakras, meridians, and subtle energy systems. Physical health affects how your body functions. Energetic health impacts how you think, feel, and interact with the world around you.
You can eat well and meditate daily, but if your energy is scattered, tangled with others, or blocked, you will still feel off. Energetic health is the invisible foundation that helps everything else click into place. It supports your mental and physical well-being. It is a vital force in your life.
When your energetic health is compromised, you feel stuck and blocked from joy or fulfillment despite external circumstances. You might notice your relationships are dysfunctional and looping in unhealthy patterns. You might notice you can’t accomplish your goals, and even when you do, it is still not quite “it.”
Why “On Purpose” Matters
When you are unconsciously interacting with your energetic health, your energy starts to use other parts of you to be heard. Your mental, physical, and emotional health may begin to be the voice for the unhealthy energetic system. Illness and disease begin to creep in to get your attention back to what matters.
When you work with your energetic hygiene intentionally, you begin to see how easily your awareness can help shift your wellness. You will begin to have better boundaries, clarity, and understanding. You will have the ability to use your own sovereignty to enhance your life.
