Feeling Blocked or Stuck on Your Spiritual Path?

There are times when your spiritual path feels clear. You feel connected to yourself, you trust where you’re going, and truly feel that you’re on the right path.

But then there are other times when you might not be so sure. Perhaps your usual practices are not working, or you may feel disconnected from your intuition or your inner compass. Sometimes there is a sense that something is holding you back, even when you cannot identify what that is.

If this is the case, then you might be feeling blocked spiritually - a common experience. And while yes, spiritual stagnation can be frustrating, it does not necessarily mean you have lost your way. We can all experience stagnation from time to time. Sometimes this stagnation can also bring an important message. It can draw our attention towards what needs to be illuminated, understood, addressed so that we can break free from any psychic binds that limit us and move forward on our path again. It gets us to do the inner work necessary for our soul’s evolution.

What can sit underneath the feeling

We experience psychic knots and energetic blocks from time to time. These can create tension within the psyche, cloud our perception, drain our energy and prevent us from moving forward in life. When you are stuck on your spiritual path, it is worth looking at what else is happening in your life.

Could you be simply exhausted? Are you experiencing strong emotions?  Do you have an unresolved decision nagging away at you? Are dysfunctional patterns or coping mechanisms in the way? All these things can leave you feeling spiritually disconnected. At other times, there may be something harder to put your finger on -  a sense that you have outgrown where you are, but cannot yet see what comes next.

These can feel like signs of spiritual blockage, even when the source is not immediately obvious.

Spiritual growth is not always about finding something outside of you. Sometimes it is being in the liminal space and not rushing the process. Other times it is about clearing what is standing between you and your most authentic desires.

Do not rush to make it mystical

Not every difficult period needs a spiritual explanation. Like nature we periodically go through periods of rest and stillness. Sometimes what you need is rest. True rest.

Periods of uncertainty and questioning can also become meaningful opportunities for reflection and change. From a spiritual perspective these experiences may be understood not simply as opportunities to overcome, but as invitations to listen more deeply to yourself and the changes taking place in your life.

A shamanic perspective

Within shamanic traditions there is an understanding that the soul can become burdened, fragmented, disconnected or obscured by experiences and energies that interfere with our natural vitality and direction.

People often come to Kristy saying, “I feel lost on my spiritual path, but I don’t know why.”

Her role is not to tell you what your path should look like. Instead, she helps you look more closely at what may be sitting beneath that feeling––the patterns, possibilities and deeper direction that can be difficult to see when you are in the middle of it yourself.

For someone experiencing a spiritual awakening and feeling stuck, that outside perspective can sometimes bring clarity to a period that otherwise feels confusing.

As specialists of the soul and in energy, shaman’s seek to work with the deeper energetic dimensions of a person’s experience helping bring awareness to what may be holding life back and what may be calling for transformation.

Moving through it

If you are wondering how to find spiritual direction, you do not necessarily need to force an answer.

Start by getting curious about where you are now. What keeps coming up? What are you avoiding? What no longer fits the person you are becoming? Is there something within you that has been asking for your attention?

Feeling spiritually blocked or lost can be a signal or sign that you are actually in a process of transformation.

Every soul has a deep psychic drive – something that moves and orients us towards living our most fulfilling, authentic, and highest potential in this lifetime. This is why our longings, dreams, desires, passions and values can be so important. Kristy helps connect you to your unique individual spark that seeks to express itself in this lifetime.
