The Myth of "Blocked Chakras"

One of the most common phrases I hear in the energy healing world is:
"Your chakras are blocked."

It sounds serious. It sounds like a problem that needs fixing immediately.
But let’s slow down and really think about it for a second.

The truth is: energy is always moving.
Our chakras — like the rest of us — are dynamic, living, responsive. They aren’t mechanical switches that get "stuck" forever or need to be forcefully "unblocked."
Energy naturally ebbs, flows, expands, contracts. That’s part of being human.

When people say your chakra is "blocked," what they often mean is that there's a disharmony or a sluggishness in how that particular aspect of your life or energy is expressing itself. Maybe you’re feeling disconnected from your voice (throat chakra), or maybe you're carrying extra emotional weight (heart chakra). But that doesn't mean your energy center is broken or sealed off.
It means there’s an opportunity for support, awareness, and healing — not judgment.

The problem with throwing around terms like "blocked chakras" is that it can make people feel like they’re flawed or that something is wrong with them.
It feeds the idea that you constantly need someone else to "fix" you or that you’re not enough as you are.
That’s not healing — that’s fear.

In my experience, true energy healing, including Reiki, isn't about diagnosing, labeling, or fixing.
It’s about creating the conditions for balance to return naturally. It’s about reminding the body and spirit what it already knows how to do: heal itself.

You don’t need someone to tell you that you're broken.
Your chakras aren’t frozen or blocked beyond repair.
Energy moves. Healing happens. Trust that.
