New Job, Same Shadows? How to Clear the "Smallness" and Claim Your Career

You got the job. Or maybe you’re about to apply for the dream role. But instead of popping champagne, you feel… small. Unworthy. Like a "glitch" waiting to be discovered. Your stomach is in knots, and every time you try to practice your "elevator pitch," the words get stuck in your throat.

When we step into a new career, we often think we’re just "anxious." But if you look deeper, it’s actually your energetic defenses going into overdrive. You’re trying to step into a bigger version of yourself, but your old "shadows" are pulling at you.

The Anatomy of the "New Job" Blockage

When we step into a new career, three specific energy centers tend to take the hit:

1. The Sacral Chakra (Insecurity & Connection)

  • The Feeling: "I don't belong here. I’m not skilled enough to be part of this team."

  • The Block: This is where our sense of worthiness and social "flow" lives. When it’s blocked, we feel cold, isolated, and "othered."

2. The Solar Plexus (Confidence & The "Knot" in your Stomach)

  • The Feeling: Physical stomach issues, nausea, and a total lack of "fire."

  • The Block: This is your power center. If you feel like your confidence has been replaced by a lead weight in your gut, your Solar Plexus is struggling to stay lit under the pressure of change.

3. The Throat Chakra (Finding Your Voice)

  • The Feeling: Trouble verbalizing your ideas or literally feeling a "lump" in your throat when you need to speak up. Second guessing your ideas and remaining silent. 

  • The Block: When we feel unworthy (Sacral) and powerless (Solar Plexus), our Truth (Throat) has no foundation to stand on. We go quiet precisely when we need to be heard.


How Reiki Releases the "Career Armour"

You don’t have to "white-knuckle" your way through your first week at work. Reiki is the ultimate tool for clearing the path before you even walk through the door.

  • In Burlington or Halton area? Come into the sanctuary for an in-person clearing. We’ll focus on unknotting that Solar Plexus so your "gut feeling" becomes one of strength, not sickness.

  • The "Study" Path: When you learn Reiki with me, you aren't just getting a certificate but a toolkit. You’ll learn how to "self-reiki" your throat chakra before a big meeting, and how to ground your sacral energy so you walk into any room knowing you belong there.

Aha! You’re Here for a Reason.
