🌿 “Am I Too Into Energy Healing?”

Why Your Fear of Being “Too Much” Is Actually a Sign You’re Right On Time

There’s a quiet fear I see in so many women stepping onto the healing path.
It’s not the fear of failure. It’s not even the fear of judgment.
It’s the fear of becoming unrelatable.
The fear of being too into it.
Too spiritual. Too into energy work. Too obsessed with healing.
Too “woo.” Too weird. Too far gone.
And underneath it all—too different from the people you love.
If that fear lives in you, I want you to know:
You’re not wrong for how much you love this work.
You’re not broken for needing more than small talk and surface connection.
And you’re definitely not alone.

The Real Fear: Not of Judgment, But of Disconnection

You might tell yourself you’re afraid of what people will think.
But look closer. What really hurts is the thought that your love for healing might cost you connection.

You fear losing your partner’s respect.
You fear your friends whispering behind your back.
You fear the quiet grief of becoming the one who “changed.”

And so, what do you do?

You shift your language around certain people.
You use vague words like “wellness” instead of “energy.”
You nod at dinner parties, pretending you’re not thinking about your next Reiki circle.
You tone yourself down. You make yourself more palatable.

And yet… inside, your light is flickering.

Because what’s actually hurting your relationships isn’t your spiritual path—
It’s the fact that you’re not letting people see who you really are anymore.

The Cost of Hiding Your Spiritual Gifts

Let’s be honest: you’re not playing small because it feels good.
You’re doing it because it once felt safer.
Fitting in helped you survive, especially if you moved schools a lot, were the “sensitive one,” or learned early how to read the room and say the right thing.

But now?

Now that your healing path is asking you to be seen, that old coping strategy is starting to feel like a cage.

And it comes with consequences:

• Quiet resentment toward the people you’re hiding from
• Dimming your leadership and magnetism
• Losing your own spark in the name of staying “relatable”

The more you censor your joy, the less connected you feel.
Not because others have rejected you—
But because you’ve preemptively left the conversation.

You Can Be Radiant and Grounded

Let’s break a myth right now:
Being deeply into healing work does not mean you have to lose your grounding.

Yes, there are archetypes of the “ungrounded healer.”
The ones who float out of reality, neglect the dishes, and abandon shared life.
And yes, it’s true that enthusiasm can sometimes tip into hyper-focus.
(We’ve all forgotten to close a cupboard door mid-download.)

But here’s what’s even more true:
You are not an archetype. You’re a human being with values, roots, and discernment.

You can be obsessed with sound baths and remember to meal plan.
You can study energy healing and go on bike rides with your friends.
You can cry at a full moon circle and fold the laundry.
You don’t have to choose.

This is the skill we’re learning—
To carry our passion like a torch
without setting fire to our lives.

Passion Isn’t a Threat—It’s a Beacon

When you’re truly into what you’re into, you become magnetic.
Not because people understand every word you say—
But because they feel your aliveness.

We’ve all felt this in others, right?
When someone lights up about what they love—gardening, community work, writing music—
Even if you’re not into their exact thing, their joy moves something in you.
Their enthusiasm reminds you of your own.

That’s what your spiritual path can do for others.

It’s not about converting people.
It’s about inviting them into your radiance.
And trust me, that glow? That unapologetic spark?
It’s what draws the right people closer—
The ones who want to be near your fire.

How to Share Your Healing Path Without Losing Connection

So how do you do this in real life?

How do you let your “freak flag fly” without leaving your people behind?

Here are a few grounded practices:

1. Use everyday language.
You don’t have to say “root chakra” to talk about safety.
Try: “You always seem so steady—how do you stay grounded?”

2. Keep showing up.
Go to the dinner. Hug your cousin. Help your friend move.
Let your actions speak the language of love—even if your interests are different.

3. Be responsible with your fire.
Yes, dive deep.
But also close the cabinet doors. Keep doing the laundry. Tend your shared life.

4. Invite—don’t convert.
Want to go to a sound bath? Ask a friend.
Don’t push. Just offer. Let curiosity do the rest.

5. Laugh at yourself sometimes.
You don’t have to take it all so seriously.
Let joy be part of the path. It softens everything.

You’re Still You—You’re Just Becoming More of You

Let me offer you this anchor:

“I’m into what I’m into. And I trust myself to stay grounded through it.”

You don’t have to abandon your relationships to follow your healing.
You don’t have to pretend you’re not in love with the spiritual path.
And you definitely don’t have to stay small to stay safe.

The more you bring your enthusiasm into the room—without needing it to be validated—the more real your connections become.

You’re not too much.

You’re just becoming more of who you are.

And that’s not scary.
That’s sacred.
