đȘ«đ Energy drains vs energy radiators
Jan 27, 2026 3:16 pm
Hi ,
Lately, Iâve been thinking a lot about where our energy actually goes...
Not in a productivity way. Not in a âdo moreâ way...
But in a very human, nervous-system-aware way.
đȘ«Some things quietly drain us.
đOthers gently radiate energy back into us.
And most of the time, weâre not doing anything âwrongâ - weâre just surrounded by more drains than radiators đŹ
Energy drains arenât always obvious
When we hear âenergy drain,â we often think of big things - toxic relationships, burnout, major life stress, or being pushed past our limits.
But more often, theyâre subtle, like:
- Constant mental looping
- Rushing without pause
- People-pleasing
- Self-criticism
- Clutter or overstimulation
- Doomscrolling before bed
- Ignoring our own needs
- Holding emotions in because it doesnât feel safe to express them
If that's relatable, it doesn't mean youâre failing.
Theyâre usually signs that your nervous system has been working very hard for a long time. And when a system has been working that hard, it doesnât need pushing - it needs replenishing...
Resourcing & replenishing your energy radiators
So letâs gently explore what we mean by energy radiators...
Theyâre not about pushing or motivating yourself. They donât hype us up or demand effort. They kinda warm us up slowly...gently...
Things like:
- Gentle rest
- Slow, conscious breathing
- EFT tapping (of course đ„°)
- Time in nature
- Clear, kind boundaries
- Moments of beauty or creativity
- Being emotionally met
- Supportive connection
These are the things that tell the body:
Youâre safe now.
You donât have to brace.
You can soften a little.
And when the nervous system feels safer, energy starts to return - naturally.
A gentle reflection for you
If you paused for a moment and asked your body:
đ Whatâs been draining me lately?
đ What quietly replenishes me?
You might be surprised by what comes up.
And remember, this isnât about removing every drain overnight.
Itâs about adding more radiators...adding them slowly, gently...in a way that feels right for you.
EFT as an energy radiator đ
One of the reasons I love EFT tapping so much is that it acts like an internal radiator...
It doesnât force change, or bypass what youâre feeling.
It meets your nervous system where it is - and helps it settle.
When we tap, weâre not trying to âfixâ ourselves. Weâre offering reassurance, self-kindness and safety.
And that kind of regulation doesnât stop with us - it quietly ripples out into families, communities, and the wider world đđâš
You donât have to do this alone
Another powerful energy radiator? Supportive connection.
Thatâs why the Heart Circle Community exists.
Itâs a calm, welcoming space where you can:
- Talk about whatâs draining you
- Notice what replenishes you
- Tap together
- And be met with understanding - not advice or pressure
This week inside the Heart Circle, weâre exploring energy, boundaries, and support - and how to choose radiators more intentionally.
Plus, on the 10th Feb, I'm also hosting a live audio tapping session focused on:
âš Crown Chakra activation for wisdom, clarity, and gentle guidance âš
A beautiful practice for when youâre feeling depleted or unsure and want to reconnect with your inner knowing.
Youâre welcome to join us inside!
(Choose the self-healer or practitioner tier to access the group tapping sessions, video and audio library, scripts, chat room and resources).
Before you go, remember:
When your system is warmed and supported, that warmth doesnât stay contained đđđ«
With love,
