Female energy can be a wonderfully powerful force — but sometimes it gets disrupted and causes problems. This article will explore signs of blocked feminine energy, with concrete tips on how to improve system flow, drawing from my years of work as a Reiki Master.
All of the insights and advice here come from in-person, firsthand experience being a Boston Reiki practitioner since 2018. As a specialist in chakras, I will also be referencing the intersection there. Let’s begin the discussion…
Signs of Blocked Feminine Energy
First: What is “feminine energy” anyway? In the system of seven chakras that are the energy system of the body, female power is chiefly housed in the Sacral or Second Chakra, which is directly below the navel, and is associated with an orange aura.
Importantly, this chakra is all about sensuality and creativity. Given this, look for the following signs to identify energy blocks in this region, plus ways to fix these issues.
1. Lack of confidence.
You may have noticed that a woman doesn’t have to look like a classic supermodel to appear gorgeous and bursting with femininity. Rather, the key to feminine power is confidence — really “owning” the joy of being a woman. Given this, a core sign of blocked female energy is feeling down on oneself, and not attractive or sensually powerful, as well as trouble making requests.
The Fix: The good news here is that it’s very fixable. Every woman has beauty in her — it’s just a matter of getting present to it. When this sign is present, it can be useful to do energy work on the Solar Plexus Third Chakra, associated with a yellow aura, as that is the powerhouse of self love and confidence in the body.
2. Blocks in creativity.
It is essential to keep in mind that the feminine or Second Chakra is all about creativity. Thus, if you’re wondering whether your feminine power might be blocked, notice what is going on with your creative life: be it writing, art, dancing, painting, poetry, visions during meditation, or any of the many expansive ways to explore free self-expression. Have there been issues there?
The Fix: There is good news here, too. One of the best ways to boost female energy is to allow yourself more time and space for creative expression. Perhaps it’s putting on music and dancing around the house, or maybe it’s doodling creative drawings a journal — it all helps free up the spirit!
3. Diminished enjoyment of sensuality.
The other core aspect of the Sacral Chakra is sensuality, and more often than not, blocked feminine energy manifests in that realm: Not feeling desire, and not enjoying the many pleasures of the senses. Sometimes clients describe feeling emotional numbness or “like stone,” and some turn to drinking alcohol to further wipe away negative emotions in this area.
The Fix: I highly recommend clients who have this symptom to take matters into their own hands and begin re-exploring sensuality with their own selves. For example, indulging in a warm bath can help you get back in touch with the joys of your own skin. It also helps to take a clear-eyed look (through meditation, journaling, life coach work, and more) at communication and fit in current romantic relationships to see what can be improved.
How to Tap into Feminine Energy
Whether or not you feel truly “blocked,” the answer to how to tap into feminine energy is similar to all of the solutions above. The big key is to remember that the chakra we want to activate is the Second or Sacral Chakra which is associated with creativity and sensuality. One of the benefits of Reiki is assistance in accessing that — but it can also be done on your own by exploring those realms, yourself.
Signs of Blocked Feminine Energy, in Sum
I hope this discussion of signs of blocked feminine energy has been illuminating. As one of the five Reiki Principles states, “Just for today, I will be kind to all living things” — and that includes yourself!
