Signs of Blocked Feminine Energy: Chakra Analysis

As an experienced energy worker and Reiki chakra balancing practitioner, I’ve had several clients ask me recently: What are signs of blocked feminine energy? There is a multi-part answer to this question.

First, some background. My name is Lillie, and I’ve been a Boston Reiki practitioner since 2018, doing hands-on energy work with hundreds of clients over the years. The thoughts in this article stem from in-person observations of real people, and their growth over time. Now, let’s define the key term in today’s query…

What is Feminine Energy?

If we’re going to discuss how to know when feminine energy is blocked, we first need to define what “female energy” even is, and where in a woman’s body it’s located. This requires a discussion of the seven chakras — energy centers of the body that are each associated with different aspects of life, as well as chakra colors.

The Female Chakra

Though “femininity” is connected to ALL of the chakras in some way, the main seat of female power is the Second, Orange, or Sacral Chakra, located just below the navel. (See my article about the orange aura meaning for many more details about this energy center.)

Why is this the “most female chakra?” Well, the Second Chakra is associated with sensuality and creativity, and encompasses the womb. (Note that the Earth Star Chakra is a different, figurative, kind of womb energy, but the Sacral Chakra is literally the lower abdomen.) So, how can we tell if there is an energetic blockage in this area?

Signs of Blocked Feminine Energy

Now that we know that classically female energy is housed in the Second Chakra, and that that energy center is associated with sensuality and creativity, we therefore can extrapolate that difficulties in one or both of those areas indicate signs of blocked feminine energy. Here’s an example from a recent Reiki chakra balancing session to illustrate this.

Last month, a client came in explaining that she had stopped feeling sensuality — an increasing lack of the simple enjoyment of the many joys of the senses in life. She felt numbed-out and “like a stone.” Upon further questioning, she also revealed that she had stopped many of her creative pursuits, such as creative drawings and dance.

She had been reading about the Soul Star Chakra and asked if her issues were related to that — but once our Reiki session began and I started my hand placements to read her energy flow, it became clear that was not the issue. The energetic blockage was squarely in her Second Chakra.

Ways to Help Femininity Flow

Once it became clear that the woman’s energy blocks were in her Sacral Chakra, the path to unblocking her feminine energy became clear. First, during our Reiki session, I guided her on a visualization to begin to flow the energy up and down her body to clear out the blockage and reconnect with her lower abdomen area.

Then, as I used the Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen distance Reiki symbol (which also connects with healing across time), I guided her to begin to think about the areas in her life where creativity and sensuality could use more nourishment and space for expression. She shared that she was beginning to visualize what a new, ideal future could look like in these areas of life, and started to see the daily actions she could take to make that future happen.

Signs of Blocked Feminine Energy, in Sum

To summarize our learning here, the classic female chakra is the Second Chakra, located right below the navel (associated with orange in the aura colors model) — and that area is connected with creativity and sensuality. Given this, signs of blocked feminine energy are: experiencing issues in those two areas: creativity and sensuality.

The good news is that this means that nourishing those two areas and giving them space to grow is an achievable and effective remedy for feminine imbalance. In addition to life changes and Reiki chakra balancing, traditional talk therapy, healthy exercise and nutrition, and fulfilling human connections can make a world of difference.
