Energy Healing: What Is Energy & Why Should We Pay Attention To It? My Conversation with Candace Tranter.
Have you ever wondered why some days you feel completely energized while others leave you drained? Or why certain physical aches seem to pop up during stressful times? In a recent episode of Curious Life of a Childfree Woman, Candace Tranter, an integrative energy healer and elite performance coach with over 23 years of experience, joined me to explore the profound role of energy in shaping our lives. Candace offered fascinating insights into the role of energy in our lives and explained how clearing blockages and aligning our energy can help us live with more intention and fulfillment.
The Nature of Energy
What is energy, really? According to Candace, energy is the vibrational frequency that forms the foundation of everything—from the cells in our bodies to the emotions we feel and the thoughts we think. It isn’t just about the physical stamina needed to power through a long day or hit the gym. Instead, energy encompasses all aspects of our being: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.
When energy flows freely, we feel vibrant and alive. But when it becomes blocked—often due to unprocessed emotions or limiting beliefs—it can manifest as physical discomfort, emotional distress, or even illness. Recognizing these patterns is the first step toward realignment. Candace reminds us that understanding energy is not about achieving perfection but about tuning into the signals our bodies and minds are sending.
Curious About Daily Practices to Align Your Energy?
To maintain energetic alignment and stay connected to your truth, Candace recommends incorporating six key practices into your daily routine. Each practice helps create space for healing, balance, and clarity:
Prayer and Gratitude: Begin your day with a moment of gratitude and set positive intentions to guide your energy for the day ahead.
Breathwork: Incorporate intentional deep breathing into your routine to clear tension and revitalize your energy.
Nourishing Foods: Choose whole, vibrant foods that fuel your body and support its natural energetic rhythm.
Movement: Engage in physical activity—whether it’s a brisk walk, gentle stretching, or dancing—to circulate and release energy.
Grounding: Spend time outdoors or connect with nature to stabilize your energy and foster mental clarity.
Creative Expression: Embrace activities like journaling, drawing, or singing as ways to process emotions and stay in alignment with your authentic self.
Starting small is key. Pick one of these practices and commit to doing it daily for a week. Observe the shifts in your energy and mood. Even a few minutes of focused practice can make a noticeable difference in how you feel throughout the day. Over time, these daily habits can help you create a life that feels balanced, intentional, and energized.
