The Moment I Realized Something Was “Off” With The Way I Learned Energy Work. I first discovered energy work with the chakras in 2011. However, when I first learned Reiki back in 2012…I felt like I was playing make-believe.
Yep. I said it.
(😬 sorry not sorry)
And honestly? It left me feeling like:
- a fake
- a failure
- an imposter
- and worst… that maybe my intuition wasn’t real at all
I kept thinking:
“Is this real?”
“Do I even have gifts?”
“Why doesn’t this feel powerful?”
“Why does everyone else ‘get it’ but I don’t?”
Nothing felt tangible.
Nothing felt grounded.
Nothing felt real enough to trust.
And with my already-fragile self-belief at the time?
That confusion spiraled FAST.
I didn’t know it then, but I was experiencing something almost every new intuitive experiences:
👉 Energy work that wasn’t rooted in the nervous system, grounding, or embodiment.
Which meant…
I wasn’t the problem.
The method was.
Why So Many Intuitives Secretly Feel Like Fakes
Here’s the taboo truth no one talks about:
New intuitives don’t feel like fakes because they’re unskilled.
They feel like fakes because they were never taught grounding, regulation, or energy literacy.
Most beginner energy healing training is:
- too floaty
- too mental
- too “just trust”
- too disconnected from actual emotional capacity
- too top-down spirituality (mind → body), when it needs to be bottom-up (body → mind)
And it leaves highly sensitive people:
✨ dysregulated
✨ overstimulated
✨ confused
✨ ungrounded
✨ shut down
No wonder so many intuitive women and men think they’re “broken.”
The Holes No One Warns You About in Energy Work
When you start your Reiki or any energy healing journey, nobody tells you that:
- Your intuition doesn’t work when your nervous system isn’t regulated.
- Empaths need boundaries or people WILL siphon your energy.
- Triggers overwhelm intuition if you don’t have somatic tools.
- Daily grounding, clearing, and re-patterning practices are required.
- You can’t manifest OR intuit well if your masculine/feminine energy is out of balance.
You’re basically handed a spiritual toolbox…with no warning label.
but none of the tools actually fit your wiring.
The Moment Everything Shifted For Me
Luckily, the skeptic in me was LOUD.
And she pushed me to look deeper — way deeper — into:
- neuroscience
- the mind-body connection
- energy psychology
- somatic healing
- the chakra system
- nervous system regulation
I got my head out of the New Age aisle
and into embodied, grounded, science-backed energy work.
And suddenly?
Energy became TANGIBLE.
The chakras became a roadmap.
Healing finally made sense.
My intuition felt trustworthy.
I felt confident — not because someone told me to “trust,”
but because my body actually could.
I finally had the tools to:
- interpret my energy accurately
- regulate my nervous system
- rebuild my intuitive confidence
- understand what was happening inside me
My awakening journey went from chaotic → coherent.
Energy Work Isn’t Woo — It’s Wiring
Let’s Call out the truth so you recognize it DEEP IN YOUR CORE:
You’re not unskilled.
You’re Not unchosen.
You’re not Fake or a Imposter(let’s drop this together, ok?) .
You entered a sensitive world and energy work practice that is leaving you:
dysregulated, overstimulated, and under-supported.
You were never given the tools to FEEL SAFE in your intuitive body.
You learned magic before you learned real grounding.
You were trained in top-down spirituality without bottom-up embodiment.
Your intuition is fine — but it’s drowned out and shut off because your nervous system is overwhelmed.
You need to recognize and hear this,
Your intuition isn’t broken,
You were simply never given:
✨ embodied mind-body practices
✨ nervous system regulation tools
✨ energetic structure + boundaries
✨ intuition development frameworks
Which means…
👉 Your intuition is REAL —
it’s just been drowned out by overwhelm.
👉 Your sensitivity is a gift —
it just needs grounding.
👉 Your energy is powerful —
it just needs direction.
