Why Energy Healing Might Not Be Working for You (Yet)

And What No One Tells You About True Energetic Shifts

June 12, 2025 | By Vandana Sinha

You lit the candle. Burned the sage. Pulled an oracle card. You even sat through a 30-minute guided meditation with your headphones on and your heart open.

But… nothing shifted.

The old thought loops returned the next day. The fatigue didn’t lift. The heaviness in your chest stayed exactly where it was.

If you’ve ever whispered to yourself, “Why isn’t this working for me?”—you’re not alone. And you’re not broken. But it might be time to look at healing through a new lens.

Let’s break the silence around what many in the energy world hesitate to admit:

Energy healing doesn’t always “work” the way you expect it to.


Not because the practice is flawed—but because there are myths around it that keep us trapped in the illusion of quick fixes, spiritual bypassing, and surface-level resonance.

Let’s clear the noise.

Myth #1: “If I visualize it, I’ll heal it.”

Visualization is powerful. But only when your system feels safe enough to process what’s underneath.

You can’t visualize away grief that’s still stored in your bones. You can’t chant your way out of generational trauma without first witnessing it.

Visualization is the medicine—but witnessing and feeling are the diagnosis. If your energy system is still holding shame, fear, or grief unacknowledged, those visions won’t land. They’ll float above the body instead of rooting into it.

The shift: Before you reach for the light, sit in the truth of the dark. Let your emotions be seen before they’re transformed.

Myth #2: “If I feel calm after a session, the healing is done.”

Calm isn’t the only—or even the most accurate—indicator of healing.

Sometimes after a true energy shift, you may feel agitated. Cry unexpectedly. Experience intense dreams. Or feel “off” for a few days.

This is your nervous system integrating the change. Energy that was long frozen is starting to move. And movement doesn’t always feel peaceful—it feels alive.

The shift: Don’t chase calm. Chase truth. If something is surfacing, it’s because your system finally feels safe enough to release it.

Myth #3: “Chakra healing is a one-time reset.”

Your chakras aren’t light switches you flip once. They are living, breathing energetic centers that pulse with the rhythm of your daily life, thoughts, and emotions.

Stress, ancestral imprints, and even collective trauma can reblock a chakra that felt clear just yesterday. That doesn’t mean healing didn’t work—it means you’re in a dynamic, ever-changing relationship with your energy field.

The shift: Treat chakra work like daily nourishment. Not a fix—but a rhythm you return to. Over time, it becomes your baseline, not just your emergency tool.

Myth #4: “If it doesn’t feel blissful, it’s not working.”

Real healing often starts where it hurts.

The tingling in your legs. The knot in your stomach. The tear that shows up with no clear reason. These aren’t signs something’s gone wrong—they’re signs something is being released.

Your body is wise. It doesn’t skip steps. It won’t show you more than you can hold. But it also won’t let you pretend everything’s fine when you’re carrying emotional weight that needs expression.

The shift: Let go of the idea that healing must feel “high vibe.” Often, it feels like surrender, silence, and sacred discomfort.

Myth #5: “The healer will fix me.”

No one can shift your energy without your participation. Not even the most gifted channel, therapist, or facilitator.

The healer holds the space. The practice provides the tools. But you are the resonance.

When healing “doesn’t work,” it’s not because you’re unworthy. It’s often because your body is still in protection mode. Or your mind is still holding on to an old identity.

The shift: Show up fully—not to be saved, but to be seen. Healing lands where your presence leads.

Why Energy Work Sometimes Falls Flat

The deeper reason energy healing may not be landing is this:

We often bring the same mindset to healing that we do to productivity.

  • “Let’s fix this quickly.”

  • “If I try harder, it’ll work.”

  • “What’s the next tool, the next session, the next answer?”

But your soul doesn’t heal on deadlines.
Your energy doesn’t shift under pressure.
Healing isn’t an achievement. It’s a remembrance.

What to Do Instead: A Return to Resonance

If you’ve been doing the work but still feel stuck, try this:

  • Pause and ask: “Am I performing healing, or experiencing it?”
    Go from doing to being.

  • Let your body speak: Notice sensations. Breathe into where it hurts. Listen, don’t label.

  • Journal gently:

    • “What part of me hasn’t felt safe enough to heal yet?”

    • “What am I hoping energy healing will erase, rather than meet?”

  • Slow your spiritual pace: You don’t need more tools. You need more intimacy with the ones you already have.

Final Word: You’re Not Failing—You’re Feeling

If energy healing hasn’t worked for you yet, maybe that’s not a sign to give up. Maybe it’s an invitation to go deeper.

Healing isn’t about becoming someone else.


It’s about shedding what isn’t you. Layer by layer. Breath by breath. Until what remains… is truth.

So don’t walk away. Walk inward. Your energy is listening. And it’s ready to respond.
