Listen to Your Energy: The Key to Your Soul’s Voice

Your energy holds the key to your soul’s voice. When you lean into your feelings and emotions, you’ll hear what you truly need.

Have you ever noticed that in certain situations, activities, or times in your life, your energy feels expansive? It’s hard to put into words, but you’re in alignment with what you’re doing, who you’re with, and your energy radiates from the inside out, matching the joy, harmony, and positivity of the moment.

And then there’s the opposite—that constricted, uncomfortable feeling when you’re doing something out of obligation. Your energy starts to turn inward, you shrink emotionally and physically, and you disconnect from the situation, the people around you, and even yourself. You feel smaller, tighter, and more distant. I call this energy constriction.

If you pause and reflect for just a moment, I bet you can pinpoint examples of both. This is your soul speaking. Your energy provides constant feedback, as do your emotions. When you commit to listening, it’s like having a map to happiness and joy. When you ignore it? Well, it’s like wandering without direction.

How to Tune Into Your Energy

This isn’t something that always comes naturally, especially if you’ve spent years tuning out these subtle signals. But it is a skill you can build with practice. Start small and stay consistent—you’ll be amazed at how much insight you gain. In no time at all tuning into your energy will be a natural part of your practices of alignment and growth.

Here are 5 tips to help you notice whether you’re in situations that expand or constrict your energy—and how to adjust your life accordingly:

1. Check in with your thoughts and body before you enter a situation.

Are your thoughts mostly positive or negative? Notice how those emotions are reflected in your body. Are you feeling light, open, and excited? Or tense, closed off, and heavy?

2. Gain perspective.

Are your feelings influenced by something new or unfamiliar? Is there an expectation or pressure you’re placing on yourself? Sometimes discomfort is just about stepping out of your comfort zone—but other times, it’s your soul waving a red flag.

3. Notice any shifts after gaining perspective.

Once you’ve examined the situation, has your emotional state changed? Sometimes clarity alone can help ease discomfort, but if the constriction remains, it’s a sign to dig deeper.

4. Listen deeply to your energy.

Do you feel like you can be your true self in this situation? Are your emotions flowing in a way that feels positive, natural, and pleasurable? If yes, this is where your energy thrives—it’s a place worth investing your time and presence.

5. Make decisions based on your energy.

If you notice that your energy is consistently constricted in certain situations, what can you do to step back? Can you reduce time spent on those activities or limit interactions with people who drain you? On the flip side, when you find activities or connections that expand your energy, how can you make more space for them in your life?

The Power of Conscious Awareness

This is such a powerful technique to bring into your conscious awareness. While your body and soul are always giving you this feedback subconsciously, the real transformation happens when you actively listen. BOOM—life-changing results.

You can take this even further by noticing when your energy signals that you’re heading toward burnout, falling into negative patterns, or neglecting your well-being. This awareness gives you the power to shift back into flow mode, realigning your life with joy and purpose.
