Letting Go of What No Longer Resonates: The Art of Energetic Clearing
Not everything is meant to be carried forever. It’s time to release, realign, and root into clarity.
Welcome to Awake in the Dream, my friend!
Awake in the Dream is a sacred space for energy-sensitive souls who see, feel, and know more than the world around them seems to. It’s for those who navigate life with deep awareness—who hear the words people say, but also sense the unspoken truth beneath them… who feel the energy of a room before stepping inside… who understand that reality is shaped not just by action, but by intention.
Being awake in a world that still feels half-asleep can be both a gift and a challenge. Here, you’ll find guidance, practices, and reflections to help you stand in your power, master your energy, and thrive—without shrinking, hiding, or taking on what isn’t yours.
I’m honored that you’re here. If the work I share resonates with you, I invite you to become a paid subscriber and support this growing space. Whether you choose to or not, know that your presence here is seen, valued, and deeply appreciated.
Welcome, beautiful soul—you are not alone. Let’s walk this path together.
Hello, my beautiful friend,
There comes a moment in every awakening journey when we realize—we’re carrying more than just our own energy.
Maybe it feels like exhaustion, even after a full night’s sleep. Or a dull, persistent ache in the chest that can’t be explained. Perhaps it’s the sense that something is weighing you down, even if you can’t quite put your finger on what it is.
The truth is, we don’t just exist in our physical bodies—we are energetic beings, constantly in exchange with the world around us.
Every conversation, every place we visit, every emotion we experience leaves an energetic imprint. Some of these energies uplift us, expand us, and feel like sunlight warming our skin. Others linger in the background—subtle but heavy, like damp clothes clinging to the body.
If we don’t clear what no longer serves us, that energetic residue accumulates. And over time, it begins to:
Dull our intuition.
Drain our life force.
Keep us tethered to old cycles.
This is where energetic clearing comes in.
It’s not just about letting go—it’s about creating space.
Space for clarity.
Space for alignment.
Space for the energy that truly supports the person you are becoming.
Let’s explore:
What it feels like to carry energy that no longer serves you.
Why releasing is essential for intuitive clarity & alignment.
The subtle but important difference between emotional release & energetic clearing.
What It Feels Like to Carry Energy That No Longer Serves You
Most of us don’t realize how much stagnant energy we’re holding—until we finally release it.
It’s like walking into a room that hasn’t been aired out in months. You don’t notice how stale the air is until you open a window and breathe in freshness.
When you’re carrying energy that no longer resonates, it might show up as:
Emotional heaviness – lingering sadness, frustration, or anxiety that doesn’t seem tied to anything specific.
Mental fog – struggling to make decisions, feeling stuck in looping thoughts, or lacking creative flow.
Physical discomfort – tightness in the shoulders, tension headaches, gut discomfort, or fatigue despite resting.
Energetic depletion – absorbing others’ emotions, feeling drained after social interactions, or carrying unseen burdens.
Often, this energy isn’t even ours to hold.
Sometimes, it belongs to:
A past version of ourselves – old beliefs, habits, and identities that once felt safe but now feel constricting.
Other people – emotions we’ve absorbed from loved ones, coworkers, or even collective energy in the world.
Unfinished cycles – situations we’ve mentally moved on from but haven’t energetically closed.
Your body, mind, and soul are constantly speaking to you.
If you’ve been feeling heavy, stuck, or misaligned, it might not be that something is wrong—it might simply be that it’s time to release.
Why Releasing is Essential for Intuitive Clarity & Alignment
Your intuition is like a flowing river—it thrives in movement, not stagnation.
When your energy is cluttered with what no longer serves you, it’s like trying to hear a whisper over static. The guidance is there, but it’s muffled, unclear, and hard to trust.
Clearing your energy does more than lighten your spirit—it actually strengthens your intuitive gifts:
You make decisions with clarity instead of feeling pulled in different directions.
You trust yourself more because you’re not weighed down by external noise.
You attract aligned opportunities because your energy is no longer broadcasting outdated frequencies.

Emotional Release vs. Energetic Clearing: The Subtle but Important Difference
Many people think releasing is just about feeling their emotions and letting them go—but there’s a deeper layer to this.
Emotional Release = Acknowledging and processing emotions so they no longer control you.
Energetic Clearing = Removing stagnant energy from your body, aura, and environment that may not even be yours.
Think of it this way:
Emotional release is like opening a window to let fresh air in.
Energetic clearing is like deep-cleaning the entire space so it actually feels different.
Both are important—but energetic clearing ensures you’re not just recycling old energy.
Moving from Awareness to Practice
Recognizing what no longer resonates is the first step. But how do we actually release it in a way that feels deep, intentional, and lasting?
This is where energetic clearing practices come in.
