Energetic Boundary Setting (Solar Plexus Chakra)The Problem: Empaths and sensitive helpers absorb others' emotional energy, depleting their power center.The Practice:Before interactions: Visualize a golden shield of light around your body (arm's length away)Set the intention: "I hold space with compassion, but I do not carry what is not mine"After interactions: Physically brush hands down arms and legs to release absorbed energy2. Heart Chakra RecalibrationThe Problem: Overactive heart chakra (constant giving) + depleted root chakra (safety/self-preservation) = "I'll save everyone but myself" patternThe Practice:Place one hand on heart, one on lower bellyBreathe into belly first (root), then let breath rise to heartAffirm: "I am safe. I am grounded. My cup fills first"Practice 2 minutes daily3. Throat Chakra LiberationThe Problem: Voicelessness leads to congested throat chakra, manifesting as throat tightness, jaw clenching, or thyroid issuesThe Practice:Stand with feet hip-width apartRelease breath with sound (sigh, hum, or gentle scream into pillow)Speak one suppressed truth aloud: "I'm exhausted," "I need help," or "This isn't sustainable"No audience needed—speaking it aloud clears the energetic blockageKey TakeawayEnergy work isn't "woo-woo"—it's ancient wisdom that neuroscience is validating. Combining energy healing with nervous system regulation creates sustainable transformation.Resources MentionedLearn more about the Soul Joy MethodConnect With Dr. JulieWebsiteInstagram: @dr.juliemerrimanEmail: [email protected] & ReviewIf this episode resonated with you, please subscribe and leave a review.
