Congested energy is the energy that would normally be released by the energy anatomy, similarly to how the body’s respiratory system exhales carbon dioxide. But sometimes this “exhale” ability is impaired due to an imbalance in the energy anatomy, and this energy accumulates in the energy body. When that happens in a localized area, the body tends to physicalize this imbalance, and manifests as a symptom. When the horse is subject to chronic stress or many negative emotions, we see this happening throughout the entire energy field.
