Spring Clean Your Energy Field
The sun is back.
And as Alaskans, that first stretch of longer light feels like something in the body waking up. There’s that almost giddy sense of emerging from hibernation — stepping outside without bracing, feeling warmth on your face, remembering what it’s like to have space and brightness again.
Spring doesn’t just change the landscape. It changes us.
After months of darkness, cold, and inward focus, our nervous systems begin to shift. And with that shift often comes a quiet realization: winter leaves a residue.
Not just in the corners of the house — but in the body.
What Builds Up Over Winter
Even if nothing dramatic happened, winter asks a lot of us.
Less light.
More time indoors.
More holding.
Stress accumulates slowly. Emotions get tucked away. The body adapts to shorter days and tighter routines. You don’t always notice it in the moment, but by spring there can be a sense of internal heaviness or fog.
You might feel:
Slower to get going
Slightly disconnected from your body
Mentally cluttered
Ready for something to shift
This is where the idea of “spring cleaning your energy field” comes in.
What Does It Mean to Clean Your Energy Field?
Your energy field isn’t something abstract floating outside of you. It’s closely connected to your nervous system and the subtle ways your body processes experience.
When stress lingers without resolution, it can settle into muscle tension, shallow breathing, or a constant low hum of activation. Over time, that becomes your new normal.
Spring cleaning your energy field simply means creating conditions for the body to release what it no longer needs to carry.
It’s less about doing something dramatic and more about allowing your system to release what you no longer need.
Why Spring Is the Perfect Time
Longer daylight naturally affects your hormones and sleep cycles. As the light returns, your body begins adjusting whether you consciously try to or not.
This makes spring a powerful time to support regulation.
It’s like opening the windows after months of stale air. Once circulation begins, things move more easily.
You don’t have to force it. You just have to let it happen.
How Reiki Supports This Reset
Reiki supports relaxation by helping the nervous system shift into a state where repair can occur. When the body feels safe enough to settle, it often begins releasing held tension on its own.
You don’t have to analyze anything. You don’t have to dig. You don’t have to “work” on yourself.
You lie down. You rest. The system recalibrates.
Many people notice clearer thinking, steadier energy, or simply a sense that something has unclenched.
It’s subtle, but meaningful.
Simple Ways to Support Your Own Spring Reset
You don’t need a full life overhaul. Small adjustments matter.
Spend time outside in the returning light
Lie down without your phone and let your body be still
Take slower breaths than usual
Book a Reiki session to support deeper regulation
These are not dramatic interventions. They are invitations. Dust off the cobwebs and welcome in the light!
