Tattoo artist: Do you take some kind of pain suppressant before coming in?
Me: No. Why?
TA: Because this piece has taken a total of nearly nine hours and you never move.
Me: (That’s cause: Magick, my friend.)
Skin be steel flesh be stone Nerves be strong, as gem or bone Let pain be but kisses, or breaths of air Magic be my armour, for i will not bear Neither the sufferings of the dead or the agonies of hell Runes of blood, now serve me well

Blockages are an icky thing that happen to everyone for a multitude of reasons: Stress, tension, repressed emotions, physical ailments, trauma, a lack of grounding, and more. Depending on the severity they can manifest in a way that has you feeling them in/on your physical body – especially if you’re energy sensitive.
They are an obstacle in your energy flow and thus bring it out of its normal flow when present. This creates an inbalance in your system and results in different issues including, but not limited to:
• Constant fatigue
• Being easily irritated
• Trouble focusing
• Negative feelings
• Trouble grounding, cleansing, or doing other types of energy work
• Being spiritually/magickally “closed off”
• Being unable to express yourself properly
Note that this isn’t a comprehensive and end-all be-all list. Also, again, be sure to check for mundane causes first.
So, how do you find a blockage? You could ask a healer or energy reader that can detect these things. If you want to do it yourself, there are multiple methods. I’m going to list two.
Method 1
• Sit down somewhere. It works standing as well, but I prefer sitting.
• Take your hand. If you have a specific technique to make it more energy sensitive, use it now.
• Go over your body with it. Whether you hover over it or touch it is down to preferance; I prefer to hover.
• Send out “sensers” that you glide into your energy system.
• Search through it, if you feel a resistance or an icky feeling somewhere, dig deeper. Maybe the energy is just a bit heavier or thicker there. Maybe it’s an energy point. Maybe it’s a blockage.
• Do that with your whole body. You DON’T have to be able to reach everywhere, just lengthen your energetic sensers for parts you can’t touch/reach, like between your shoulders.
Method 2
(This method requires astral traveling.)
• Lie or sit down.
• Get into a comfortable position. If you need to be in a trance or meditative state to Astral Travel, do that here.
• Now, reach one of your astral body’s hands out.
• Put it inside your energetic body. It doesn’t really matter where – personally, I like to start at the head or feet.
• Make sure to focus on your (Astral) hand and then start to go everywhere in your body with it. Feel it out. Any resistances? Icky feelings? How does the energy feel?
• Take note of any sensations you get. If something feels off, take a closer look.
Types of Blockages
@chaosjelly has a really good post about blockages and anomalies here. I will only extend on his list – read it if you haven’t before.
1. Messy Thread “Balls”. These are blockages that form when energies get cuddled up on their way through your system. These appear as bundles of, most often but not always, thin energy threads. They let energy through, though not as much as if there wasn’t a blockage, but not in its regular flow. The energy that comes through is more “confused” and disoriented, often not staying on its original path.
2. Walls. These are similar to the rocks Jelly mentioned. They can be tall, small, thin, thick, rectangular, oval, etc. but they’re all very stiff and strong. These let very little if any energy through and often create dams.
3. Dams. These mostly form in combination with other blockages as it’s rare that energy starts to accumulate in these amounts without something else being in the way. Dams are exactly that: Accumulations of so much energy at one point that it starts to get thicker and taller until it stays in its place, creating an obstacle for the rest of the energy. How much energy they let through depends on how thick and tall the dam blockage is.
4. Hard Energy. Not necessarily a blockage but still troublesome. Optimally, Energy flows with ease and is flexible in its way. Due to a bunch of different possible reasons it can harden and with that normally slows down. Not rarely it even stops. The rest has to make it’s way around it and the energy is more prone to catching unwanted properties.
This is not an end-all-be-all guide, but I still hope it helps! Here are my other healing posts so far (will be updated once new ones are made):

You may call upon any higher energies to help you if you desire. Picture the person in your mind that you wish to send healing energies to and focus on their existence–their being.
Imagine taking away their illness, pain, etc, and replacing it with healing, protecting light.
Begin to chant a spell that creates the energy you want to send forth.
Short Example Spell:
“I banish these forces of malice and spite, And send forth to you the Healing Light.”
Green Salt can be used in spells for abundance, prosperity, healing and luck.
It can also:
Used with Black Salt, it can help bring good luck faster.
Carried in a sachet when looking for a job,
Use on Gardening tools to help bless them for a good season. (Do not put directly on plants)
How to make
In a Mortar and Pestle, blend natural salt (sea, rock Himalayan) and green flowers or herbs such as mint, dill or basil. You could add green food coloring for a more intense green if you choose. Blend ingredients together, while focusing on your intent and desire
was inspired by @thehoodwitch‘s new moon in Sagittarius post to create a bath soak to soothe chronic aches, stiff muscles, and stimulate circulation. claim time and space for yourselves tonight, my loves! 🌚💞
healing salts cleansing soak ♐ // good for one hot bath – detoxing, boost magnesium levels, soothe irritated skin
*1c epsom salts *1/4c baking soda *1/4c sea salt *1/3c apple cider vinegar
*essential oil(s) of choice. i used my clary sage and my homemade rosemary oils, recommended to encourage freedom + growth
-bring a kettle of water to boil
-mix all dry ingredients together in a large, non-metallic bowl
-stirring clockwise, add apple cider vinegar and conjure your intentions for this new moon as you feel the cooling sensations of the mixture bubble beneath you
-add boiling water until salts are dissolved, then add mixture to hot bath. soak for at least 30 minutes
-after bath, take some time to rub your favorite lotion/oil over your skin! think about where your body has carried you since the last new moon – thank them accordingly.
*WARNING // you may feel tired or lightheaded after your bath, this is normal for detoxing soaks. please make sure you are adequately hydrated and preferably bathe while someone is home with you!
