Feeling stuck?
And with the change, sometimes comes the feeling of being stuck.
Wanting change but not sure what to do to create it?
Feeling stuck in the same old rut?
Think you’ve brought in change, only to find you straight back where you started?
Same old narrative still swirling in your head?
Approaching a big birthday and determined not to make the next decade like the last one?
Weary of taking anti-depressants and still feeling low?
Approaching peri-menopause and feeling a bit sad?
At the root of a lot of this, is the continuous denial of your deeper self, which is trying to get your attention, through this feeling of stuck-ness and groundhog day and boredom and frustration and just feeling that something is off.
It usually is. You’ve usually rejected a part of ourself.
Yoga offers tools to help us. So does Reiki. Ayurveda helps enormously too. These are all spiritual practices, and the more we practice them, the more we gain. Not that it’s all about this of course, of getting somewhere, at least not outside of yourself. It is very much about going inside and discovering what is missing from your life (usually our connection to heart and soul) and somehow bringing more of that (back) into life.
We have tendency to throw parts of ourself away during childhood or teenage years, often in a quest to meet the needs of others, to be what they wanted us to be, denying our own truth in the process. So much of our lives are lived pleasing others and meeting their expectations, teachers, parents, care givers, partners, even friends. Sometimes people don’t want us to thrive, to be ourselves, because it shifts the status quo and makes them feel uneasy because they may no longer be able to control us or feel quite so secure and safe.
But meanwhile we suffer, a part of us dying inside until something happens to wake us up - illness, injury, chronic depression, extreme tiredness, relentless sadness, terrible menstrual and/or peri-menopausal symptoms, infertility, and/or deep grief. All of these are signs that something is off, that we are not in alignment with our truth, not thriving and not living our life as was intended when our soul chose to incarnate here on Planet Earth.
We are all here with a purpose. But often we live far removed from it, caught up in the illusion of the material world, selling out to some false idea and notion of success (this is not your fault, we have been deeply conditioned to this 3-D reality) and meanwhile dying inside.
Some of us do die, too young. We forget our impermanence. Think we’re here for ever. Live for tomorrow. Put it off, we’ll deal wit it later. Buying into the ‘one day it will all be OK’ mentality. But maybe that day will never come?
It is never too late.
Never too late to heal the trauma, ditch the negative inner narrative, let go of false identifies and begin again, start afresh, be more of who we are and less of what makes us feel so lost, broken and/or heavy.
Yoga recommends taking action in a positive direction, doing something different, looking at our self honestly and accepting what needs to be accepted and changing what can be changed.
Reiki offers us the opportunity to heal ourselves with our own hands and to raise our vibration supporting our personal and spiritual development - just becoming attuned changes things, we start to shift our perspective, let go of the old, allow the new to trickle in.
Ayurveda is huge too. Changing our diet can make a huge difference to our wellbeing and connection to ourself, let alone adding in a few lifestyle changes to support our positive transformation.
All of this can be experienced by signing up for Spiritual Life Coaching. This has really changed things for some of my clients. They have started to come alive again. They have healed. They have spoken about their dreams for the first time in years. And some of them have even started living them. All of them though have found a deeper connection to self, cultivated a more positive attitude, trust, faith and become increasing grateful for the small things, to make a difference, heck some are even loving themselves now, being kinder, saying no, better boundaries, improved relationships, sleeping well.
It’s quite amazing what happens when we face our fears and take the leap, when we step out of our comfort zone. When we make the choice to unstick ourselves and try and live a better life, a happier life, a more peaceful life, a more contented life, when we decide we are done with our suffering and meeting the needs of others beyond our own, when we are tired of our own self-depreciating crap and realise that we only get one chance at this precious life.
If you are interested, if you want to tap into this major lunar standstill approaching in 2025 and the huge energy of change it is bringing then take a look here, start to value yourself, start to invest in yourself, look at where you are spending money and realise how much is spent needlessly, supporting more of what is out of balance, start to make changes, start to orientate towards your dreams and accepting your beautiful and marvellous YOU.
