Five Signs You Have a Heart Wall
by Candice Erickson-Perham founder of Indiglow Soul, Healer
Have you ever felt like something is holding you back from truly enjoying life, connecting with others, or even feeling at peace with yourself? You’re not alone. Many people walk through life carrying invisible barriers, often without even realizing it. These barriers, known as Heart Walls, are emotional blocks that your subconscious mind builds up over time to protect you from getting hurt. While they might shield you from pain, they can also keep you from experiencing the full range of love, joy, and connection that life has to offer.
In this post, we’ll explore what a Heart Wall is, how it might be affecting you, and the top 5 signs that you might be living with one.
What is a Heart Wall?
A Heart Wall is exactly what it sounds like—a wall around your heart. But it’s not a physical wall; it’s an emotional one. This wall is made up of trapped emotions, which are unresolved feelings from past experiences that haven’t been fully processed. Your subconscious mind creates these walls to protect your heart from further pain, but in doing so, it can also keep out the positive emotions and experiences you long for.
Imagine your heart as a beautiful, open space. Over time, as you go through life’s ups and downs, your subconscious mind starts to build protective layers around it. These layers act like a shield, keeping you safe from getting hurt again. But while this might sound like a good thing, these walls can also block out the good stuff—like love, happiness, and connection.
5 Top Signs You Have a Heart Wall
1. You Feel Sad or Down, Even When Things Are Going Okay
Do you ever find yourself feeling sad or down, even when everything seems to be going well in your life? It’s like there’s a heavy weight on your shoulders that just won’t lift, no matter how hard you try. This persistent sadness can be a sign that your Heart Wall is keeping you from fully experiencing the joy and contentment that should come with positive moments.
When your heart is walled off, it’s difficult to feel the full impact of happy experiences. You might have fleeting moments of joy, but they don’t seem to last. Instead, there’s an underlying sense of dread that lingers, making it hard to fully embrace the good things in life.
2. Anxiety Seems to Be Your Constant Companion
Anxiety is something many of us deal with, but if it feels like anxiety is your constant companion, it could be related to a Heart Wall. You might notice that even in situations where there’s no real danger, you’re always on edge, worrying about things that might not even happen. This constant state of anxiety can be exhausting and overwhelming.
When your heart is protected by a wall, it’s as if you’re always bracing for impact, even when there’s no threat. This can lead to a constant state of anxiety, where you’re always on high alert, unable to relax or enjoy the present moment. Your Heart Wall might be trying to keep you safe, but in the process, it’s keeping you from feeling at peace.
3. You Have a Hard Time Letting People In
Do you find it difficult to let people get close to you? Whether it’s friends, family, or a romantic partner, it can feel like there’s an invisible barrier that prevents you from fully opening up. You want to connect with others, but something seems to hold you back.
This is a classic sign of a Heart Wall. When your heart is walled off, it’s hard to form deep connections with others. You might find yourself pushing people away, even when you want to let them in. This can lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness, even when you’re surrounded by people who care about you.
4. Your Body Is Always Aching, but the Doctors Can’t Find Anything Wrong
Physical pain can sometimes be a manifestation of emotional pain. If you’re experiencing frequent headaches, neck pain, or a tight feeling in your chest, and your doctor can’t find a physical cause, it could be related to a Heart Wall. These aches and pains might be your body’s way of telling you that there’s unresolved emotional energy that needs to be released. When emotions get trapped behind a Heart Wall, they can manifest in physical ways. Your body and mind are deeply connected, and when your emotional health is out of balance, it can show up as physical symptoms. Clearing your Heart Wall can lead to relief from these unexplained aches and pains, allowing your body to heal.
5. You Can’t Seem to Move Past a Loss or Heartbreak
Have you experienced a loss or heartbreak that you just can’t seem to move past? It’s like you’re stuck in a loop, replaying that pain over and over, even when you want to move on. This could be a sign that your Heart Wall is holding on to that grief, preventing you from healing and moving forward. When a Heart Wall is in place, it can make it difficult to process and release painful emotions. Instead of moving through your grief, you might find yourself trapped in it, unable to fully let go. This can keep you from finding peace and opening yourself up to new experiences.
