Why That Phone Update Made Me Feel So Awful: Understanding EMFs and Your Energy

The other day, I finally gave in and did a mobile phone update.

If I’m honest, I don’t often do them—and when I do, it’s usually late at night, once the day has quietened down. But this time, I needed to clear some storage space and get it done during the day.

What happened next completely threw me.

Within minutes, I started feeling awful. Dizzy. Blurred vision. A strange wave of vertigo that made me stop in my tracks. At first, I brushed it off—maybe I was tired or dehydrated?

But then something strange happened: I moved my phone further away… and the symptoms began to ease. The fog lifted almost instantly.

It wasn’t just me—it was something deeper. My energy knew before my mind did: I was reacting to EMFs.

What Are EMFs?

EMF stands for Electromagnetic Fields. They’re invisible waves of energy emitted by electrical devices and wireless technology—things like mobile phones, laptops, WiFi routers, smart TVs, and even microwaves or LED lighting.

There are two main types:

• Low-frequency EMFs – from appliances, wiring, and power lines

• High-frequency EMFs (Radiofrequency or RF) – from mobile phones, Bluetooth, WiFi, and other wireless devices

During an update, your phone often connects to multiple systems, pulls large amounts of data, and emits stronger EMFs than usual. So while your phone is working hard, your energy field may be under more stress than normal.

How EMFs Can Affect the Body

Some people are more sensitive to EMFs than others—especially empaths, intuitive's, and energy healers. If you’ve ever felt drained after too much screen time or a long day around tech, you’re not imagining it.

Common physical symptoms include:

• Dizziness or vertigo

• Headaches and blurred vision

• Brain fog or confusion

• Fatigue and low energy

• Anxiety or heart palpitations

• Sleep disturbances

• Tingling or static-like sensations

But there’s another layer—one that’s often overlooked. The energetic impact.

The Hidden Energetic Effects of EMFs

As someone deeply attuned to subtle energy, I’ve come to recognise that EMFs don’t just affect the body—they affect our spiritual and energetic systems too. Here’s how:

🌀 Aura Disruption

Your aura is your energetic boundary, but EMFs can create weak spots or tears in its structure. This leaves you feeling emotionally raw, hypersensitive, or ungrounded.

👁️ Third Eye & Crown Interference

The upper chakras—especially the third eye and crown—are like antennas for intuition. EMFs can scramble that signal, making it harder to tune in. You might feel disconnected from your inner guidance or find meditation more difficult.

💗 Heart Field Distortion

The heart has its own electromagnetic field, stronger than the brain’s. EMFs can cause emotional dullness, irritability, or a sense of spiritual disconnection—like you can’t quite feel yourself or your truth.

🌙 Sleep and Dream Disruption

EMFs reduce melatonin, a natural antioxidant and hormone linked to sleep and intuitive dreaming. You might struggle to fall asleep or wake feeling unrefreshed—like your energy hasn’t recharged overnight.

⚡ Nervous System Overload

Being in a constant EMF field can keep your body in low-grade fight-or-flight mode. For sensitive people, this can feel like anxiety, overstimulation, or emotional burnout for no obvious reason.

Have you ever felt like your nervous system is “buzzing” after a day online? That’s the subtle toll of energy overwhelm.

So… What Can You Do?

We may not be able to remove EMFs from modern life completely, but we can reduce their impact—and strengthen our own energy systems at the same time.

Here are some simple, soul-aligned ways to protect yourself:

1. Distance is Your Friend

Keep your phone off your body when you’re not using it. Don’t sleep with it under your pillow or hold it to your ear for long calls—use speakerphone or wired headphones instead.

2. Use Airplane Mode More Often

When you’re not actively using your phone—especially during sleep or deep rest—switch it to airplane mode. This reduces EMF activity significantly.

3. Turn WiFi Off at Night

Your home becomes a healing temple when tech quiets down. Try switching off your router at bedtime to give your energy field space to restore.

4. Ground Your Energy Daily

Walking barefoot on grass or soil helps discharge built-up EMFs and reconnects you to the Earth’s healing frequency. Even 10 minutes a day can make a difference.

5. Salt Baths & Water Cleansing

A warm sea salt bath, or even a mindful shower with the intention of releasing unwanted energy, helps clear and rebalance your field. Water is a powerful spiritual cleanser.

6. Crystals for EMF Protection

• Shungite – filters and absorbs EMFs

• Black Tourmaline – grounding and shielding

• Hematite – strengthens energetic boundaries

Place them near your phone or on your desk, or carry them in your pocket.

7. Strengthen Your Aura

Practices like Reiki, meditation, breathwork, and visualising a protective golden light around you can restore your energy field and keep it resilient.

Final Thoughts

That phone update may seem like a small thing—but it was a powerful reminder: our bodies and energy fields are always listening. When something’s off, your system will let you know.

In a world filled with invisible noise, staying attuned to your inner frequency is a radical act of self-love. The more we honour our sensitivity, the more empowered we become—not just to protect ourselves, but to thrive in a high-tech world while staying deeply soul-aligned.

So next time your phone needs an update, don’t just think about storage space—think about energetic space too.

You are not overreacting. You’re tuning in.
