Dr Joe Q&A – Overwhelming emotion
The Power of Energy Center Blessings and Spiritual Awakening
Many people experience profound transformation when they connect with their energy centers. Recently, I had an intense experience of love flowing through me as I focused on my heart. It was overwhelming in the best way possible. As I learned more from other teachers, I realized that while each energy center serves a unique purpose—whether related to the brain, emotions, or the body—they are all interconnected. This led me to explore all of my energy centers, checking in with each one to understand their influence on my well-being.
Beyond their individual significance, the beauty of these energy centers is astonishing. However, the depth of love that emerges from them is extraordinary. At times, the experience is so intense that it feels like my heart is overflowing, making it difficult to remain present. I find myself drifting away from the moment—perhaps into everyday thoughts—to avoid feeling so much at once.
This raises an important question: What happens when we momentarily “leave” these heightened states? Is it simply the mind reverting to routine thoughts? Many people experience this, and it’s something worth discussing.
Energy Centers and Their Transformational Power
When teaching about energy centers, I prefer this term over “chakras” because it makes the concept more accessible. The word “chakra” can carry preconceived notions that might prevent people from engaging with the practice. Instead, when we describe energy centers in scientific terms, it becomes easier to understand them as integral parts of our body’s energetic system.
The process of blessing these energy centers is designed to encourage energy to flow freely along the spine. As this happens, electrical impulses create a column of light—often referred to as the “prana tube” in ancient yogic traditions. The more energy moves through this pathway, the more light and higher frequencies are generated. Each energy center has its own frequency, and when they are balanced and aligned, the body emits a greater amount of energy, allowing for deeper spiritual experiences.
Awakening Through Energy Work
Many individuals who engage in this work experience spontaneous mystical awakenings. These moments often arise when people begin releasing past emotional wounds stored in the body. For those who have endured trauma or hardship, the journey is often about letting go of the past. When they finally do, the soul responds with profound spiritual revelations.
The body holds memories, not just in the brain but throughout the nervous system. As people work with their energy centers, years of suppressed emotions—such as guilt, sadness, or fear—begin to dissolve into pure energy. This transformation can be so powerful that they physically feel the release. Initially, it may manifest as contraction or discomfort, but as they continue to surrender, these feelings evolve into joy, bliss, gratitude, and ultimately, freedom.
When the body is no longer trapped in past experiences, the soul becomes liberated. This freedom opens the door to heightened spiritual awareness and mystical encounters. For many, these experiences happen unexpectedly, reinforcing the natural connection between body, mind, and spirit.
By learning to stay present in these profound moments, we allow ourselves to experience the true depth of love and transformation that energy center work can offer.
