Connecting with others is not always an easy task. First it’s the small talk then the questions that seem uncomfortably prying. But then the very moment you hit on that one theme that connects you to another the conversation takes off seamlessly. So why are some people better to connect with than others?
From birth onward, we are conditioned by nature as well as nurture. Our experiences can cause trauma or open us up to enlightenment, depending on the lessons we learn. Because of those experiences, we subconsciously condition ourselves either by closing up our emotional side or creating defensive walls keeping others from hurting us further. Through this, we unknowingly build blockages within our energies.
Much like a clogged drainpipe, our energy wheels – or Chakras – become backed up with negative words and images. The brain acts like a television program with the volume turned down. The more negative or traumatic images we see in life the more our brain programs itself that these images are normal. Since the brain sends signals throughout our body, those negative influences can then settle into our Chakras and begin to cause damage.
Just like the clogged-drainpipe analogy, garbage that sits too long will begin to cause rot. This energetic rot then manifests itself into physical ailments, which may cause us to slouch, or have pain that no doctor can explain, or break out in a rash. Blocked energy cannot move freely throughout the body in a clear and productive way. Emotional trash settles in and begins to decay.
When we meet someone that we are just not able to connect with on an emotional level – even within the first few minutes of meeting them – it may be because their energies are blocked. They are not able to relax and enjoy meeting new people. Their defenses may be up unconsciously and their brain releases misinformation (i.e., that an otherwise pleasant encounter is a ruse for deceit).
If you experience a lack of energy, have symptoms of agoraphobia, or would rather not meet new people, then your Chakras may need a good tune up. There could be a blockage that some meditation, yoga, and non-processed foods can help clear up. A bit of caution, though, for any energy work Chakras must be opened under the guidance of someone well-versed AND well-trained in this form of therapy. If done incorrectly, the results can cause more anxiety than we bargained for.
