Stuck Energy

topic posted Wed, April 16, 2008 - 6:28 AM by  beth
OMG...............I am so stuck and have been for almost 2 years. I am moving through it slowly but surely but WOW! It's in my body...like a big mass of depressed stuck heavy energy. I made a decision not to help someone that maybe I should have (I intuitively made a decision)...and since then I have been dragging my butt around. I started doing yoga more regularly to compliment my meditation practice in the hope that I could move through it and I think that's working. So, I think I am answering my own questions! I just need to be gentle and patient...compassionate with myself. It's such a hard time and I really don't have a lot of like minded people to talk to people about this with. "Get job"...., which would be really helpful too!! Longest period of unemployment in 17 years but I know it's not that simple. Once I clear the dead energy or whatever it is than I will be able to move forward. I cried a lot this week, and I know that is helping. Just letting go...surrending to what is. It's very painful and hard if you are a control freak! Anyone else going through this crazy stuff!!

    Yes! I have been going through this intensely. I spent most of February crying and cleansing. It still comes in waves, but is much better overall. I'm now feeling lighter and see that I was shedding the old, removing things that were weighing me down energetically. I feel like I'm almost ready for some great changes to come. And I too am out of the main workforce ... freelancing. I'm grateful this all happened at a time when it could. And I guess the universe is like that, only delivering things we're able to handle. And it's a gift to be clearing your bodies, and a gift that you have the space to do it. Just keep breathing and allow it all to flow.

    The things that have been helping me most, in no particular order: grounding deep into the earth, fresh raw foods for more prana and listening to what my body asks for even when it's an odd food choice, physical movement of all types, being around lots of green plants, sea salt baths on days when clearing is particularly overwhelming, sending myself a lot of love by placing hands over heart with healing intention, surrendering to the flow, remembering to turn to guidance, seeking joy in the little things - often the very little things when the big things are too intense to dwell on, and trusting the greater purpose even though i can't see it.

    It sounds corny maybe, but when it gets rough and overwhelming, I repeat that Winston Churchill quote: "When you're going through hell, keep going." And I remind myself the emotions are temporary, just energy righting itself, baggage clearing out, making space for new light and life. There is always morning after night. And you're definitely not alone.

    :-)

    Namaste,

      and i forgot to mention that for me, this down wave has been going on for about three years, but in reality, it's all the negativity i've been carrying my whole life coming to the surface at once. not easy, i know! this winter and spring were some of the most intense months for me. but now i feel in my heart i've turned the corner. amazing things are in store for us all as a result of all this work we're doing now. that is my deepest belief.

      namaste,

        thanks for your words; they've reminded me that I need to start doing energy work again to help myself heal. I did... and then i just got busy and stopped meditating or doing consistant visualizations. I know it would help... I'm thinking that part of my eye paint is from energy that's been blocked

    the such problems are very common with the people who do not get right directions from their gurus/mentors.it is matter if inner awakening and should not be taken lightly.
    you are adviced to see a true master who by his energy will clear your path/blockage.
    you need a siddha guru for that.

      thanks for that tip.

      i have a most excellent guru, and in fact, it's right inside me, communing with me constantly, especially during hard moments. on the outside, i also have many fantastic teachers and forces i use for support.

      wahe guru!

      In case you hadn't noticed, these are sisters sharing their feelings with each other and creating bonds of friendship and support through their shared experience. I don't see that as a problem to be fixed. "such problems are very common "
      If you can't hear the honesty and vulnerability in their words, or see the beauty of their process,
      you might imagine they need to "get right directions from their gurus/mentors".

      "it is matter of inner awakening and should not be taken lightly."

      Which part did you think was being taken lightly?

      "you are adviced to see a true master who by his energy will clear your path/blockage. "

      Are you kidding me? I advise you to learn to recognize the goddess in all her manifestations and deal with her as a sacred being.
      I advise you to leave off telling a women how to solve her "problems" and learn to worship at her feet. I advise you to seek true understanding, and then perform devotional service to a widow for the rest of your life. Wash her clothes, do her dishes, look after her children, and honor them everyday. Shop for them, clean for them, prepare their food, and generally look after them before your own needs are met. Do this for 10 lifetimes and maybe your "blockage" will get cleared. You don't need a siddha guru for that, just a willingness to awaken to the sacred presence of the Goddess in the "ordinary" women that you meet.

          OK Yogi,

          My basic premise is this, I think your misguided and I think you might actually benefit from a conversation about it.
          I'm sure that sounds somewhat insulting to you, but your statements, while they seem to be sincere, are seriously whacked.
          (that's a local term meaning not in very good shape)

          If you want to discuss this privately I'll talk with you about it.

          Send me a PM if you like, but one more statement like, "your dragging innocents into darkness" and I'm going to turn you into a prince, even if it hurts and you struggle the whole way there.

            there are different ways for everybody. and it's only right that this is so because we are all very different as human beings. the biggest gift you can give someone is honoring their way...and your own. :-)

            peace and love to all,

              Hey folks,
              I'm new to this tribe - in fact, this is the first topic I explored but I was drawn to it completely...
              So I'll throw in my humble opinion.

              Our world has gotten so fast - instantaneous in fact. This kind of skews our perception of how quickly or slowly we ourselves should be moving. I had a wonderful revelation last December, a moment in which many areas of my life were no longer "full steam ahead" but more mired in the muck... It was "patience and faith."

              Not being a particularly religious person, these two words which came to me felt really hollow and, yes, a bit cliche... It wasn't until I meditated on them for a long time that I realized their meaning, at least for me.

              I have faith in one thing in this universe: that I am transforming
              I have patience with one thing: that I am not done yet

              This released a heretofore unfelt new level of compassion for all beings, a deeper connection with the human condition. It, in short, rocked my world.

              Since we are "future Buddhas all," what did a few hours/days/months/years mean anyway?? If I'm anxious with my transformation, I will learn patience. If I doubt it, I'll learn faith. Cool trick my future buddha self was playing on me, miring me in the muck for a bit. A win-win all around.

              thanks to all for reminding me of this today,
              your humble banshee

                Hi, I've read some of the first posts here and offer a technique. Basicmobilization of energy in which you actively move energy from your head through your body to your feet and back up again. It takes effort, and part of the effort is actually in believing the exercise works and is real, but it is if you put the effort into it. Also, you will not get stuck energy from not helping someone. You have the right to not help someone if you so choose and this will not be a punishment. I think I sincerely recommend exercise for you. Brisk walking right outside for 20 or 30 minutes
                whenever you are feeling down. The energy drain you may be feeling may actually be coming from this person that you feel guilty about not helping on a mental/psychospiritual body level. Cut the chords to this person continually in your mind or help them however you felt like you were supposed to. Also, throw the iching or do runes on the situation for insight. It can really change your thought patterns about how you look at the situation if you do this, and I think that's what you want.
