“Most often human beings do not shift their energy because they are stuck in the energy they are stuck in.” – Nantene and Malachor
Does it feel like things always stay the same?
Does it feel like you are doomed to have the same problems you’ve always had – day in, day out – like your own personal Groundhog Day?
Do you resist doing things you know would make a positive shift in your life?
Do you think you are lazy, undisciplined, unmotivated because you can’t get yourself to workout/meditate/eat right/[insert other positive practices], etc?
If yes, then you are most likely experiencing the Energy of Stuckness.
Once upon a time – after a spontaneous awakening of my intuitive abilities – I used to do psychic readings on clients.
I remember one client in particular – let’s call him George – came to me for an intuitive reading about his marriage. George was very unhappy in his marriage and had been for a very long time.
What George really wanted was for me to tell him that his marriage would eventually get better. Unfortunately, I had some bad news for George.
“I see more of the same,” I told him.
It was true. When I felt my way into the energy of his marriage, I saw nothing changing. Same old same old. More of the same.
He was gutted.
I hated giving people bad news like that, and when people were obviously upset and disappointed, like George, I’d start to coach them a little bit. I’d share tools I had learned to shift my own unhappy life and pass it along to my clients. That’s actually how I became a coach; I didn’t want people to remain unhappy with their lives.
“We are the creators of our own lives,” I told George. “The future is not something that just happens to us. The future is something we create. If you want your marriage to be different, you are going to have to do something differently. Otherwise, things will just stay the same.”
I gave him tools – some of the same tools I share on my blog and with my coaching clients – on how to change his results, but years later he was still complaining about his marriage – resisting taking action on any of my suggestions. Why?
You could argue that maybe George wasn’t motivated enough, or disciplined enough, to follow through on the tools and practices required to make the shift in his results. Maybe he didn’t believe me. Maybe he was just lazy, or maybe he secretly liked the marital drama.
A lot of us think this way when we (or others) don’t make changes we know we could make. How many of us think we’re just lazy, or lacking in motivation when we can’t keep to a simple schedule of some daily beneficial practice? I used to think this way too.
But what is actually going on is energetic in nature.
For example, I once offered to help a friend who had been stuck in a rut for years. Instead of offering the usual advice and inspiration, I instead offered to send her distance Reiki every day for a set amount of time, checking in with her every so often. In time, her reports of being stuck lessened and I started receiving reports of spontaneous bursts of yoga practice, renewed connections with friends, changed relationship dynamics, new business actions.
Another example is of a woman who had struggled with addiction for decades. I prayed and sent her Reiki daily for several months. In time, she reported that she had quit her addiction “cold turkey” pronouncing it a miracle. She is still clean to this day, several years later.
These examples changed the way I thought about stuckness. With earlier clients, like George, I had tried to help using only words – telling them what they could do to change their results. With later clients, I worked on them energetically first, then the motivation and inspiration to make changes came naturally following the change in energy.
That is, in essence, how I help people: change the energy and you change the energy of whatever is keeping them stuck.
“Taking responsibility for your energy, working with your energy, moving your energy. You may actually resist, human beings often do. As I said before, you resist because you are stuck. Stuck things like to stay stuck. That is, by definition, stuckness.” – Nantene and Malachor
What about you? What are you stuck on? If you’ve been berating yourself forever about your inability to change your life for the better, why not try shifting the energy first. There are two ways you can do this:
The DIY (Do It Yourself) Method: If you already know how to work with energy then start using your knowledge today.
The DIT (Do It Together) Method: Work with me, or another energy practitioner/coach to shift the underlying Energy of Stuckness you are experiencing so that you can get unstuck and start taking those actions that will lead you to the results you are seeking.
