Feeling Off? A Grounded Conversation About Energy Healing, Balance, and Coming Back to Yourself

Feeling Off? A Grounded Conversation About Energy Healing, Balance, and Coming Back to Yourself

Author: Iyana Anderson, LSW February 9, 2026 Duration: 21:37

In this episode of Mental Health Unscripted, I'm joined by Shalina Joy, holistic spiritual advisor and energy healing practitioner, for a grounded and eye-opening conversation about energy, balance, and coming back home to yourself.

We talk about what energy healing really means in everyday life, far beyond the misconceptions, and how disconnection often shows up as exhaustion, anxiety, irritability, or feeling "off" without knowing why. Shalina breaks this down in a way that feels practical, relatable, and deeply human, sharing how tuning into your body, breath, and awareness can help restore clarity and steadiness.

Shalina also shares simple practices you can use right now to reconnect with yourself, the importance of listening to your inner signals, and why healing doesn't replace therapy or medical care, it can work alongside it.

We also dive into her upcoming session at the Women in Wellness Summit, where she'll guide participants through understanding energetic balance and learning tools to stay grounded in a world that constantly pulls us in different directions.

If you've been feeling scattered, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself, this conversation is an invitation to pause, breathe, and return to your center.

Spots for the Women in Wellness Summit are limited. Don't wait, this is a room you want to be in.
