From heaviness to light ✨
Sharing this beautiful blog by Susan Schultz—such a powerful reminder that we’re not stuck in how we feel. Worth the read.
From Heaviness to Light
March 12, 2026
As a student, client, or even just an observer of what Healing Waters offers, one thing you probably already understand is that we as humans are energy. Everything about us is energy, from our thoughts and emotions to our blood, our stomach, and beyond.
There are many words people use to describe this idea. Some call it qi, prana, or frequency. No matter what word you choose, the point is the same. There is an energetic nature to being human.
By definition, frequency is the number of times something repeats within a certain amount of time. It is often talked about in terms of waves, like sound waves, radio waves, or alternating current. In sound, the faster the frequency, the higher the pitch. The lower the frequency, the lower the sound.
Something similar happens with us as humans, but instead of talking about sound, we can think about emotions. The higher the frequency of emotion we feel, the lighter we tend to feel. We experience more happiness, joy, peace, and openness. Lower emotional states tend to feel heavier and can feel more like frustration, judgment, sadness, or shame.
Of course, we all experience the full range of emotions. Sometimes life brings something unexpected and we feel sad or down. Other times we feel uplifted, light, and happy. That is part of being human.
What I have come to understand is that one of the keys to feeling better, remembering who you are, and living more consciously is learning how to move between these frequencies. To me, this is part of what The I AM Movement is really about. It is not about pretending we never feel heavy emotions, and it is not about forcing ourselves to be positive all the time. It is about becoming aware of where we are, recognizing what we are feeling, remembering that we have tools, and learning how to shift back into greater connection, truth, and presence.
I once asked a meditation class, “How easy is it to go from happy to sad?” Almost everyone answered, “Pretty easy.” Then I asked, “How easy is it to go from sad to happy?” They all agreed that felt much harder.
Why?
Because it can seem like it takes more energy to move out of a heavier emotional state.
But does it really?
What I have realized through practice is that it is not as hard as we think. A big part of it is awareness, being able to notice when I feel down, and then remembering that I have tools to help shift it. It is not only about thinking positively. A change in perspective can absolutely help, but I have also found tools that help move energy in my body and in my life.
Some of my tools are using energy points I learned through AcuEnergetics to help energy flow, using music to shift my mood, using oils to change my state of being, connecting with my I AM, and doing things I love. Lately, sauna and meditation have become one of my favorite combinations.
We all have the ability to do this. But what I most often see is that people stop because they forget their tools. They forget they have more power over their state of being than they realize.
Life does not have to just happen to you. You can find power within yourself.
That is also part of what The I AM Movement is about. It is about remembering who you are beneath the heaviness, the stress, the stories, and the emotional patterns that can pull you down. It is about reconnecting with the truth of your being and learning how to live from that place more often.
If this speaks to you, I invite you to join us for The Discovery of Who I AM this Friday night. You can also explore the Acu First Aid Class, a Level 1 weekend class, or simply begin with curiosity right where you are. Curiosity opens the door back to yourself.
No one can do your inner shifting for you, but you can learn how to return to yourself. That is part of the practice of living from your I AM. The more you practice, the more you remember that you are not stuck, powerless, or at the mercy of every feeling that comes. You have the ability to move, reconnect, and come back to who you are.
Move your frequency,
Susan Schultz
