9 Signs You Could Use an Energy Detox
Do you ever wake up feeling exhausted, or do you feel sluggish in the afternoon? Do you look at young children and wonder where their boundless energy comes from? At 43, I knew that something needed to shift. I worked out; I ate healthy food, compared to the standard American diet. But I still felt tired. I returned to juicing and raw foods. In days, I was brimming with energy again, feeling like a 20 year younger, new and improved version of me.
Detox diets cleanse the body to restore balance. Periodic fasting is a spiritual principle, abstaining from food and drink to give the digestive system a rest. A detox diet can include drinking only purified water with squeezed lemon, green juices, and/or consuming mostly raw vegetables, fruits, and nuts. We live in an increasingly toxic world with daily exposure to chemicals, additives, harmful sugars, and pharmaceutical drugs. Our bodies can no longer function with a child’s vibrancy. We get bogged down from the toxins in our physical systems.
Similarly, our energy systems get bogged down from the mental and emotional clutter that is stored in our bodies’ cellular memory. Just as a detox diet cleans out the toxins in our bodies, an energy detox through energy work can release the toxic energetic clutter in our 7 energy systems. We accumulate mental and emotional debris through the daily experience of living.
Here are 9 signs that suggest you might benefit from an energy detox:
1) Do you have an idea or inner desire about what to do next, but your excuses overpower your will to move forward?
2) Do your emotional responses (including anger and tears) seem easily triggered?
3) Do you ever find yourself in an emotionally charged conflict with a partner or loved one that seems much larger than what the actual disagreement warrants?
4) Does your mind chatter disturb your daily measure of peace?
5) Is your relationship with a spouse or loved one clouded by the disappointments and/or resentments of the past?
6) Do your creative urges feel blocked?
7) Do you taste fear about taking the next step?
8) Do you feel cut off from trusting your intuition or receiving intuitive knowledge?
9) Do you feel disconnected from the Awesome version of yourself?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions above, consider de-cluttering from what is no longer serving you. Life is a process of learning and growth, and awareness is 50 percent of the solution to shifting one’s energy. But if you cannot clear your energy on your own, find a Simply HealedTM practitioner to assist you with cleansing from the emotional clutter. Yes, we will encounter life challenges, but it is easier to navigate without carrying around excess energetic baggage.

Great post! I think I would also benefit from a raw food diet. I have answered yes to several of the questions. I do believe an energetic detox would benefit me.
Very timely post! I know that something is ready to change inside of me. Having an energy detox would serve me well. Thank you.
I think I would benefit from an energetic detox as well. Is there a way I could do it myself? Since I don’t know of Anton certified that lives in my area. Thank you!
Hi Melissa,
You can check out Carolyn Cooper’s Certified Practitioner page, under Where to Begin. Energy sessions can be conducted over the phone, just as effectively as in person. I work mostly over the phone, as do many of my colleagues. Or you can enroll in Carolyn Cooper’s Simply HealedTM course, which is invaluable! Donna Eden’s book on Energy Medicine also suggests some simple ways to release energy. Even as a practitioner, I find it helpful to work with another practitioner occasionally to release what may be a blind spot for me. I hope that helps!
Tera
I am in desperate need of an energy detox, but have just spent most of my money on a trip that has ended up in a total mess? Any suggestions?
