How to Spot (and Clear) Subtle Energy Blocks in Your Field

Not all energy blocks are dramatic.

Some don’t show up as total breakdowns or major life obstacles.
They show up as brain fog.
Indecision.
Creative resistance.
That nagging sense that something feels just a little… off.

If you’re doing the work and still feel stuck, disconnected, or like your momentum has quietly slowed down, you may be dealing with a subtle energetic block.

These blocks are harder to spot than obvious traumas or triggers, but they still affect your clarity, confidence, and ability to receive.

Let’s talk about how to recognize them and what you can do to clear them.

What is a subtle energy block?

A subtle energy block is unresolved or stagnant energy sitting just beneath the surface. It might not scream for your attention, but it quietly distorts your field. These blocks often live in your subconscious or emotional body and influence your energy without you even realizing it.

Common examples include:

• A past disappointment that you’ve brushed off but haven’t fully processed

• An energetic cord still connected to an old relationship, identity, or client

• A quiet belief that it’s not safe to be seen, successful, or powerful

• Carrying someone else’s emotional energy or expectations

• Unspoken grief, resentment, or fear that’s gone unacknowledged

You might not consciously notice them, but your intuition and body always do.

Signs there may be a subtle energy block in your field

• You feel mildly unmotivated or creatively stuck without a clear reason

• You keep procrastinating something that used to feel exciting

• You feel like you’re in a fog or waiting for “something” to shift

• You feel energetically tired after interacting with certain people

• You’re in a low-grade emotional slump that you can’t explain

• You have resistance to taking a specific action, even though it aligns with your goals

These signs don’t mean you’re doing anything wrong. They mean something in your energy field is asking to be seen, cleared, or recalibrated.

The quiet block that shifted everything

My client Celeste had been spinning her wheels for weeks. She had a clear vision, a beautiful brand, and a launch plan that felt aligned. But every time she tried to execute, she hit a wall of resistance. “It’s like something invisible is holding me back,” she said.

Through energy work and Akashic insight, we uncovered a subtle energy block related to an old fear of outshining her siblings—something she had internalized from childhood and never questioned. That pattern was quietly distorting her ability to be fully seen and successful.

Once we cleared that, her energy returned. She launched the following week with ease.

How to spot subtle energy blocks in yourself

1. Notice recurring emotional patterns
   Are you consistently overwhelmed, over it, or emotionally flat in one area of your life or business? That could be energetic buildup.

2. Pay attention to physical cues
   Subtle blocks often live in the body. Tightness in the throat, tension in the solar plexus, or heart heaviness can all signal stuck energy.

3. Get curious when you delay action
   If you're procrastinating something you know you're ready for, ask yourself what part of you feels unsafe or unseen. There's usually a deeper layer under avoidance.

4. Check for energetic attachments
   Are you still entangled with a past version of you? A role you no longer want to play? A client you’ve already let go of? These cords need to be consciously released.

    

How to clear subtle energy blocks

• Run your energy daily: Visualize a grounding cord, release what’s not yours, and bring your energy back to present time

• Use breath and movement: Move energy through your body with breathwork, shaking, yoga, or even intuitive dance

• Cut cords and close old loops: Use guided cord-cutting meditations or Akashic work to release outdated connections

• Journal with your higher self: Ask directly, “What am I holding onto that I don’t need anymore?” Let the truth come through without judgment

• Ask for help if you need it: Sometimes you’re too close to see what’s blocking you. A coach or energy healer can help you identify what your conscious mind is missing

   

Just because it’s subtle doesn’t mean it’s small

The blocks that hide in your blind spots often have the biggest impact.
They shape your energy, magnetism, and clarity without ever raising their voice.

Clearing them doesn’t have to be hard.
It just requires presence, curiosity, and a willingness to see what you’re ready to let go of.

Because once you do?
Your energy becomes yours again, and that changes everything.
