Are you Spiritually Stuck?

Are you Spiritually Stuck?

By Janice Chrysler

As you know, each one of us has psychic and healing abilities.  Like all other endeavors in our lives, if we choose not to use them we will forget how to use them.  Perhaps there has been a time in your life when you were very intuitive but it frightened you and you wanted to shut it off.  You would still receive messages, have a feeling but now instead of paying attention to it you likely brushed it aside, allowing your ego to convince you it was all your imagination.  You may have wanted to open up more but refused to follow the lead that God, your angels and guides were showing you so now you feel as though they are not doing anything around you when in fact; it is you who have tuned them out.

Remember that we are not always given things in the manner we think they should come.  You may be expecting to “see” things at will but instead you sense or just know things but ignore these messages, as it isn’t what you want.  That would be your ego getting in the way again!   A good friend of mine told me a story about her own attempt to change a guide’s message.  When asking what she should do in a particular situation she received a very clear answer at the end of her meditation.  Not really liking that answer, she decided to ignore it and meditate again the next day on the same question. That night she had a dream and the same message came through very clearly in her dream.  Upon awakening she decided that she likely just dream that because it had been on her mind from early that day.

Twice more she meditated and twice more the same reply was given to her.  Throughout the week she would receive signs that verified the message until she admitted that must be the direction she needed to take.  She laughs about it now but said had she listened to her guides the first time she would not have wasted a whole week trying to change the message and gotten on with things!  How often have you asked for help or guidance but then refused it when it came?

Another thing you may find that happens when on a spiritual journey is a feeling of being stuck.  Again, you need to ask yourself if you are truly being open or are you putting off moving ahead? If you have ever played a video game you know that when you complete one level you will just sit there until you agree to move to the next level. You don’t go back unless you want to start the game all over again. Perhaps you have been instructed that you should be a healer, teacher, take a class or share with others your story but instead you have sat down and not moved…you haven’t agreed to move to the next level.  As in other areas of your life, it is possible to decide to remain in your spiritual comfort zone. Ask yourself if you are afraid of moving ahead for whatever reasons then face the fears and proceed.  Are you increasing your form of spiritual practice – for example do you have a meditation time each day, read articles or books on the subject? Begin increasing your mind and your spirit will follow.  You may not be as stuck as you think but actually in a position where things are going to shift.

Often this shift comes in a new form of “sensing” things.  If you were very visual, you may now sense, know, be sensitive to scents or hear things but see very little. It is just another way you are opening up.  Accept and welcome these new avenues and soon you will discover where you fit the best. When I first started doing healings, I would see colors and feel the energies around myself and the client via temperature changes and a sense of heaviness or lightness.  The more familiar I became with this, then visual began and I soon realized that I was receiving messages for my client and that it didn’t happen for every client either.  The more I accepted what I saw as coming from Spirit and not my ego, I would receive a knowing along with a visual or sometimes on its own.  I then began to ask questions on what I was sensing before relaying these messages to my clients and found I would receive even more information.  I understand now that I needed to take baby steps and I was given things at the right time and when I was most willing to accept them.  I also believe as I continue to open up more completely I will increase my awareness even more. Also, I have come to understand that in order to move ahead I have needed to let go of some things that seemed so important to me….and they were, at that particular moment in time.  Putting the ego aside is the biggest challenge.  You are the one who put the limits around yourself so you have to put them to one side and allow your Higher Self to come through.

No matter where you are in your journey, there will be times of “dark side of the soul”.  This will sometimes sweep over you and resemble a form of depression.  Remember, this is the time you need to meditate more fervently, listen more intently and give thanks from the heart and soul.  You are not forgotten, cut off or unloved.  We are all children of God and like children, often require our alone time. Even though we may feel alone, the Divine and all the angels are silently looking on, ready to help us when we ask.  We wouldn’t have learned to walk, talk or do things on our own if our parents had not let go of our hands, trusted us as some point to make our own decisions and let us leave the nest.  So it is with the spiritual family.  We are here at this boarding school to learn lessons but our real family is never far away.  Perhaps the dark side of the soul is more of a feeling of homesickness than anything else. Maybe it’s time you wrote a letter home??

This week’s assignment:

Take time to meditate, journal AND write a letter to God, your angels and guides. If your life here is a trip away from home, what do you write about? What would you ask? Are there feelings you would like to express? Questions, acknowledgments, gratitude, forgiveness that need to be included?

When you are done with your letter you may wish to keep it so you can add to it any message, future questions and answers. You can perform your own ritual of burning the paper as a sign you are sending the letter to the heavens via the smoke.

Most importantly, remember to include a forwarding address! Set up a time to meet (next time you will be meditating) and keep the date.  No one likes to be stood up.  Often by writing out how we feel, our frustrations and desires, will act as a form of cleansing.

  • ive been strugling so much the last year after an experience i had with death. all i really know is that i was in a state of mind where i was just not. i remember giving into letting go into dying, and i let go of all attachments to this physical world, the physical self, and when i let go, i wound up in a different world, or that i just gave into the reality of the illusion of life and death, not really sure how to explain it, but i just knew at the time who and where i was once and for all, but after some time in the embrace of death, the ego seemed to creep back in, and it has been a struggle not to harm my body. the thing is, that i know that doing so won’t actually free my spirit, because my soul, the consious mind will still have to go through trials weather in this world, or the next. i consider the events that had happened to me prior to the death of myself as the old me, or a person that is no longer me, even in this old body i find i am not that person who was living on this earth prior to the events, yet i find myself still at times living that person’s life at times, and it is really confusing and straining. i find myself with people who this other person was friends and lovers with, but my connection with them, to them is odd to me, because part of me sees them as strangers, and the moments this other person has shared with them, i know about, but i do not fully feel emotionally attached to the memories i find myself experiencing. i feel like i am half in the physical world, being pulled around by that world, and the other part wanting to let go. i find myself caring for them, making plans with them, experiencing urges and desires to grab attention at times, wanting to be part of the world, and another part wanting to let go of all of it again, but i feel too tied to the world to let go. ive made promises to do things to help others out that they need help with, or i feel the need that i need to offer my help to others even if they don’t ask. i also feel at times that i need help with this, or that, and i just keep stumbling. i feel as though at times i get agitated, and hate where i am, who i am, i dislike what others say or do, but i feel as though everything is my fault, so i find myself harming myself through masturbation, smoking, and on ocations drinking, getting pulled into situations and worries i just dont want to be a part of. i fell trapped in this constant stumble. there is the part that knows death is always there, and just wants to become friends with it again, and the other part that feels responsible to do things. idk really how to explain it, but i feel as though i am not able to be calm, meditate, or enjoy the moment at all, or even know what i am doing while i am doing it. and at times all the thoughts bombarding the mind even in my sleep make me feel like im stuck in hell. i just want to drop all worries and live without spiritual harm or worry, regret, hurt. im just so tired all the time. i am depressed, but i know that its not material depression, like when you miss someone, or when a loved one passes away. this is something different. both kinds are very similar in the sense of heart break and yurning for something, but this is different. its the yurning for the inner peace. to not only love others more deeply, but to love one’s self more deeply as well. to be with peace within one’s self, one’s own mind body and soul. there is this self that keeps thinking just one more titilation, one more rush, and the other self that keeps telling it to stop because if there is to be peace, love and preservation of one’s soul in god, one should knock it all off, because it isn’t good for one’s self and others and god. i know im not always bad, but i do know i can be better at times, and that i have been better. i try not to tell others what they should do, or preach when i myself find myself feeling confused and stuck. i get scared of myself and others allot, but want to love everyone at the same time. i believe too much in forgiving others, and being compassionate, and allowing them to be them. i find myself at the same time scared of being harmed, or put into danger because of things i do sometimes. i just want to be able to let go of all of it, and live in peace. i fear at times that others will same and punish me for the mistakes i make. the same mistakes i do not want others to make. thing is i know there are actions, things i do that are wrong, but i find myself doing them because i hate myself so much at times. i find i do them out of self punishment. im a mess, and it just all feels unreal. im freaking out, cause i know that every moment could be my last, but im unable to be at peace within it all. like right now i could die, but i will die without peace of mind and silence of my mind, and all i want is to be able to be at rest. i can’t really tell if i know anything right now of death and birth, this life or the after life. i feel trapped and in a state of unease. idk if it is death or life that i want to embrace, all i know is that i want to experience calmness and peace, love, self acceptance

  • I relate so much to these words. I hope you have found more peace today freind, seeing this was two years ago. My story is very similiar to yours. I too have had a lifechanging experience, 3 years ago now. And after this I’m in some kind of dissociative state where I lack connection to anything.. And, I’m still having this deep, spirituall longing . Like a home-sickness to get somewhere where I must go. I can never find peace untill I do. It is like a calling.. It is like my soul is waiting for me there, or something…. Nothing truly matters untill I get there.. And this body is “not me” , truly, untill I get there and get grounded there. Wherever whatever that is……. o___O
