BLOCKAGES: The Baggage of the Past
"The voice we hear that speaks of guilt, scarcity,
unworthiness and regret is not Truth.
It is the result of old dark energies that plague us."

| What do I mean by a blockage? A buildup of stagnant energies that obstructs the natural flow of Life. How do we get these blockages? By putting faith in fearful perceptions. |
| Thoughts that are believed are called beliefs or perceptions. If we don't believe a thought, then it's just an idea... Our beliefs/perceptions are the foundations for our life experiences. Beliefs that are aligned with Love manifest as Upper Realm experiences & energies (Light) Beliefs that are aligned with fears manifest as lower realm experiences & energies (darkness) |
|
Examples of lower realm energies:
worry
shame
anxiety
anger
resentment
worry
shame
anxiety
anger
resentment
| These blockages seem to plague us. We can have a sense that they are foreign in nature. Like something has invaded our body. They seem to have a life of their own. |
| Our body has energy centers that are called chakras. A lower realm choice that correlates with a particular chakra will generate energies that get stored in the body in that particular area. For example, if a person makes choices that are contrary to their personal truth, that is an aspect of free will, which is the energy center of the fifth chakra (the throat chakra). From repeated lower realm choices regarding expressing personal truth, one may experience a build up of energies in the throat or shoulders over time. These lower realm energies may accumulate until they are a blockage. These blockages need to feed on the level of energies that created them in order to be sustained. |
"I accept the discomfort
of going without
what comforts me
to force myself
to break free."

| Blockages seem to have cyclical feeding patterns. They flare up when they get ‘hungry.’ A person with a flaring blockage may experience: ~Repetitive thought patterns ~A desire for a lower realm emotional exchange with another person ~Cravings for low energy consumptions of food, drink, drugs, atmosphere ~A desire for an outside stimulus of drama (a lower realm emotional episode) from tv, the internet, etc. |
"I accept that the old residual pain that I carry After a feeding episode the blockage will settle down and life returns to normal until it flares up when it gets hungry again. When this happens we don't 'feel like ourself.' Or we feel like something has 'come over us.' In addition to cyclical feeding patterns, these blockages will also flare from new levels of healthy choices. When we make ‘improvements’ to our life in mind, body or spirit our blockages will naturally get ‘yitsy.’ They will struggle to survive in the midst of the new higher vibrational frequencies brought on by the new choices. |
| Healthier choices are followed up by a process of our blockages flaring. We will either feed the cravings & slide back into our old comfort zone or we will go through the process of clearing the blockages. |
"Things are happening
that look like losses,
but that may just be
my limited perspective."

| The Journey of Transformation doesn't follow a path that feels like a consistent increase in 'success.' Instead the Journey seems like highs and lows, successes and failures. I believe the setbacks, lows or perceived failures are actually gateways of opportunity to see with new awareness the possibilitiy for the transformative process of clearing up what no longer serves us. I call it 'experiencing the contrast.' |
| Options for weakening & eliminating blockages: Meditation Journaling for Transformation Prayer Read Inspired Works (Awareness is a Light. Blockages can't take the Light of Awareness. They struggle to survive in the atmosphere of the high vibrational frequency of reading works that are Inspired). |

| Quotes When I am trying to shift into a new way of thinking I sometimes write a quote down and keep it around until it settles into a knowing. This link will take you to a list of quotes from Live Beautifully: A Book to Sit With regarding blockages. |
| Journaling for Transformation: I see that I have blockages... I accept that there are places within me where Love is blocked from flowing... I relinquish fears of opening up old pain... I dream of being aware of the blockages created by accumulations of dark energies... With peace and love I intend to be gentle and compassionate as I accept the Light that dissipates the darkness; Awareness followed by Compassion instead of Awareness followed by judgment... I am grateful for the healing afffects of Light, I am. |
