The three relationships that keep us stuck until we unlock their power
Have you ever had moments in your career when you knew things weren’t right, but you didn’t know what to do? You knew it was time for a shift, but maybe you weren’t ready to admit it or take action?
After yet another round of talking yourself back into staying with what’s familiar …
After making multiple pros-and-cons lists to try and justify staying …
After telling yourself that you’ll go, right after you hit that one important milestone—title, promotion, certain year at the company, salary level, vestment or pension eligibility, hiring that critical role, getting through the rigorous part of the season …
At a certain point, you can no longer make your logic triumph over how you feel.
That thing you’ve been doing…just isn’t cutting it anymore. And it’s taking more energy for you to stay than to make a change.
I’ve been there, more than once. For years, I blamed myself or the company…or both.
After all, wasn’t it normal and desirable to stay in a role, find your groove, do awesome work, and keep going? I felt like there must have been something wrong with me or with them, since the initial spark of passion I’d had for that role or company wasn’t enough to keep me going through the parts that were tough.
Sometimes the shine would wear off even a few months into something, and I’d power through, based on commitment, logic, and will. Or I’d escape into a world of fantasy where I could be, at least hypothetically, free from responsibility and suffering.
All of those are ingredients for burnout and toxicity. And I’ve been through enough of those recipes to recognize what I’m cooking, once I see I’ve put those elements out on the table.
But once I started bringing pranic (energy) healing into my work life, I started seeing that these moments weren’t failures on my part, or on the company’s part.
Rather, these moments were calling something deep inside of me to heal and expand as a person. Because I’m here for more than any one workplace can give me. And so are you.
You are a dynamic being that seeks to heal, self-express, and keep expanding in wholeness. Which is why, when you don’t feel whole, you are continually being called forward by these forces.
That does not make transition easy. You feel you need to change, but you don’t know how or even if it is going to work out. By comparison, you know your current situation, and what it requires from you to keep going.
Yet at a certain point, the price of staying becomes too high, either physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually. That’s when you’ll move, either freely and openly, or begrudgingly, being dragged.
I prefer the former because it’s a choice. What’s more, those career leaps have always been positive for me because I’ve used Business Healing as tool to manage and negotiate the unknown. Rather than just escaping from a situation with an “anything would be better” attitude, I’ve learned to honor the call of healing, self-expression, and expansiveness—and to choose it.
The two highest-stakes moments in my recent career have been going out on my own as a business owner in 2019, and again in 2023, moving that business to a new model and creating a new set of offerings that involve sharing more about myself. Energy work has helped me on so many levels, for so many years, but I kept my practice to myself because I was afraid of being seen as too woo-woo for an executive director, strategic planner, startup coach and grant writer.
Now, as the Business Healer, I’ve put energy work front and center, with my professional experience providing the structure to using healing most effectively for my clients. I’m happier, more fulfilled, more authentic with myself and my clients, and more abundant than ever.
My Business Healer practice is built on listening, then moving energy through the mental, physical, and emotional bodies to help clients heal and experience greater joy, fulfillment, satisfaction, and abundance. Even after one session, clients cite feelings of lightness, a greater sense of calm, and a deeper connection with themselves. Many experience a decrease in anxiety and a greater sense of wholeness and harmony with themselves.
Business Healing is very effective at tackling a number of challenges and issues by examining and addressing their root causes. Below are three types of relationships that impact how you feel, operate, and what you believe to be possible. When we release and relieve what you’ve been carrying around energetically, we can free up or create more space inside so you can realize a fuller You in life and at work.
Relationship with Self: addressing self-criticism, low self-esteem, limiting beliefs, impostor syndrome, self-sabotage, self-destructive patterns, and internalized shame, grief, anger, sadness, or other self-worth issues that have kept you from taking healthy risks and pursuing your purpose or self-realization.
Relationship with the Past: examining how past events created energetic residue that is currently affecting your health, wealth, ability to succeed at work and in life, and which is impacting your future potential for happiness and satisfaction at work and in life.
Relationship with Others: revealing patterns and events that have affected your family generations and you in the past, and that have come forward in time, impacting the creation of healthy intimacy, and the ability to experience life satisfaction and positive dynamics with family, relationships, and at work.
Which of these relationships most calls to you for healing?
Have you done any energy work on these in the past, and if so, what happened?
