Sexual energy is sacred, powerful, and deeply connected to our emotional, spiritual, and physical wellbeing. When it becomes blocked, issues with intimacy, satisfaction, or connection often arise. In this article, we’ll explore what sexual energy is, how it relates to Reiki, why blockages occur, how Reiki can help, practical steps for you as an individual.
Understanding Sexual Energy
Sexual energy isn’t just about sex it’s the same life-force that fuels our creativity, joy, and vitality. In holistic systems like chakra theory, sexual energy is centered in the sacral chakra (Svadhisthana), which governs intimacy, emotion, pleasure, and creative flow.
Many individuals today experience sexual disconnection due to trauma, stress, shame, or societal programming. When this energy is ignored or repressed, it can lead to emotional numbness, low libido and difficulty in intimacy .
How Sexual Energy Gets Blocked or Lost
Our bodies and energy systems carry emotional imprints. Shame, guilt, trauma especially sexual or relational often get stored in the tissues and energetic field around the pelvis and sacral region. Constant stress, overthinking, and disconnection from bodily pleasure can further lock down this energy.
Signs of blocked sexual energy might include:
- Low libido or disinterest in intimacy
- Emotional flatness or numbness
- Shame around desire or body
- Creative stagnation or burnout
