Healing Energy Pressure in the Head

If you’re here because you have stuck energy in the head after a spiritual awakening, you’re in the right place! I spent the past five years writing about my journey healing my own energy head pressure. I started writing because I could not find any resources when I was experiencing this. But, through trial and error, and divine synchronicity, I found what I needed. I completely healed – and arrived in a better place then when my spiritual awakening began. Over the years I witnessed many others heal of energy head pressure too. So there is good reason to hope if you are challenged with this.

I’ve found, over and over again, that the universal answer to releasing energy head pressure is through grounding. This means that in addition to energy moving up – as in spiritual awakening – energy can also travel down. Energy is not meant to pool in the head; the only safe reservoir for extra body energy is in the lower dan tian (stomach area). For most people, head pressure is a sign of an internal conflict in consciousness. It usually occurs when there is a low frequency subconscious pattern that conflicts with an expanded state of being. These low frequency patterns are often in the first three, lower chakras. This is why so many people have energy head pressure after a spiritual awakening or kundalini experience; they arrived at a heightened state of consciousness, and anything that is not in harmony with it must be released. Head pressure is a sign that there is a split between the upper chakras and lower chakras. The upper chakras are more open than the lower. Grounding is a solution on both the meridian level and the chakra level. Grounding can help release the old patterns that cause upper-lower chakra splits.

The challenge for many people is that the deeply ingrained negative patterns, when carried for long periods of time, have a density to them. Many people I talk to can feel body pressure, stuck energy, and intuitively know that its dense energy, not a physical ailment. This density needs to be cleared. There are several ways to do this, which you can find in my posts and in my upcoming booklet The Ultimate Guide to Grounding.

I hear from people all over the world who ask me – what’s one thing I could do to heal my energy head pressure? Healing this issue usually takes a multi-faceted approach. But if I had to choose one practice that could be applied generally, it would be this: build up the earth and water element in your energy body.

During spiritual awakening, or leaps in consciousness – through the use of psychedelics, kundalini, or intense spiritual workshops, such as Vipassana – the fire element in the body raises. Unfinished business (karma) magnifies and amplifies. Many people with head pressure observe that low frequency beliefs, emotions and patterns come up in big waves. This is par for the course if you awaken and have karma left. And it can be really unpleasant.

It wasn’t until I learned about 5 Elements healing that I realized this – all of the things that helped my head pressure worked because they balanced my body energy. Five elements is an energy balancing modality found in Tibetan Buddhism and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Fire moves energy up (heat rises). A lot of energy moves up the spine during spiritual awakening. The two elements with downward flow are Water and Earth. Many of my intuitive clients have discovered on their own that cooling Water energy and balancing Earth energy help release head pressure. We are meant to release negative energy through our feet, where it is recycled by Mother Earth. In people with large pain bodies, the releasing channels are often clogged. Connection to Water energy, which helps us flow, receive, and release stagnant energy is weak. Connection to Earth energy which helps us release stagnant energy, receive nourishing energy, and know that we belong, is weak.

Individuals will have different reasons for head pressure. But there are some universal tips that can help just about everyone with this issue:

• Balance the Five Elements in your body energy. Specifically, increase Water and Earth. Water and Earth balance out the increased Fire element which occurs in spiritual awakening.
• Release blocks in the lower chakras. Heal negative patterns regarding safety, security, belonging (root); sexuality, pleasure, and receiving (sacral); control, power, self-esteem (solar plexus).
• Strengthen and tone your grounding meridians.

One of the easiest ways to increase the Earth element is to get outside and spend time with barefeet on the ground. Another way is to sleep grounded. When you sleep grounded, the energy points on your feet that release stale energy to the Earth reactivate. To sleep grounded, you can get a sleeping bag and sleep outside on Mother Earth. Do this as often as you can until you feel balanced. Understandably, this is not an option for most people. Another way to sleep grounded is to get a cotton sheet with silver threads. The sheet is connected with wire to a grounding rod outside of your home. You can find more details about this practice in my blog post here.

When you sleep grounded, you allow your body’s electric field to achieve zero voltage – the same voltage as Mother Earth. This is something you could measure yourself using a multimeter. When you match the voltage of Earth you can release density from your field. Sleeping grounded is like turning a dishwasher, full of dirty dishes, on at night. When you wake up the dishes are clean. Sleeping grounded is an easy way to clear negativity out of your bioenergetic field. As an added bonus, you are likely to get the best sleep of your life.

The grounding sheet I use is from MitoLife (note: it’s an affiliate link. I get a small commission if you purchase. I use this to keep helpful info about spiritual awakening up on my website, and I only recommend brands I personally use). Sleeping grounded is one of the easiest ways to build the element of Earth into your energy body.

I hope this explanation of why head pressure occurs, and what can you do about it, is helpful.
