I’ve been practicing energy work and teaching Reiki for over 20 years now, and I see keeping on top of my energy hygiene as being as important as brushing my teeth and showering every day. 🚿 🪥 WHAT IS ENERGY HYGIENE? It’s the regular practices you use to keep your energy, mood, nervous system, physical and mental health and emotional state clear, grounded, and not bogged down by everyone else’s shite.

Emotional pain gets a bad rap; but at least pain actually moves you. Confusion paralyses you and keeps you stuck. 😳 PAIN HAS A JOB. CONFUSION JUST SITS THERE LIKE A USELESS EX. Pain is clear, loud, uncomfortable. When something hurts enough, you do something about it. You leave, you speak up, you change.
