Zimmerman Podcast Episode 116: What Happens When Energy Gets Stuck

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 116: What Happens When Energy Gets Stuck

Energy can get locked (and unlocked) in our bodies, and the physical places where this tends to happen relates to where chakras are located.

If this feels scary, remember that we all do this all the time, just with more comfortable language. When something sad happens, you might say that your heart is broken, even though that the brain and nervous system is in charge of pain perception, not the heart.

When you feel nervous, you might have butterflies in your belly, even though that’s not actually possible.

Before a wedding, we want to make sure no one has “cold feet.”

We already relate emotions to physical locations in our body.

With chakras, we’re just giving a name (and centuries of wisdom and practice) to truths we already recognize in how we talk about our bodies and our spirits.

When I first heard Brian’s “non-medical” diagnosis– a blocked solar plexus chakra, I think that was the beginning of me really beginning to ask myself what felt right in my own body as far as what I had been told. Trusting my intuition and not blindly believing people just because they had a few letters at the end of their name.

Nothing the doctors said had felt right. And it certainly hadn’t done any good. Brian had just gotten sicker and sicker. I believed then and believe now that, had we continued on that course, he would have lost his colon and probably his life.

But the chakra and neglect - that felt true. It was a completely different feeling in my body, a feeling I’ve come to identify as knowing.

In today's podcast, you'll find out what are chakras and what happens when energy gets stuck.
