Feeling blocked does not mean anything is in your way. That’s just an old way of interpreting the mysterious complexities of life while confusing self-criticism and blame for new forms of insight. Quite literally, feeling blocked means you are in such a state of expectation that you are innocently blocked from seeing the circumstances of this very moment as evidence of what’s already on its way. The reason you may live in drastic states of anticipation is because you are an intuitive being who is so excited about what the future holds, you can’t help but do everything in your power to rush towards it.

The opposite of feeling blocked is being in the flow.

Quite literally, being in the flow means you are advancing towards the future in a more balanced, heart-centered, and grounded way– so much so, you are able to clearly see each moment as auspicious evidence of what is already flowing in your direction. The notion that you have to fix your blocks and ‘do everything you can’ to stay in the flow is an old paradigm way of unknowingly blocking the awareness of life’s inherent flow. It is simply the case of life planting seeds of possibility, only to refine the process as individual and collective consciousness ripens in maturity.

Most who teach these old models have been mislead themselves– no one is instructing this to intentionally mislead you. The initial messaging was to help you accept your power as a Divine co-creator. Now, the Universe refines its message to retrieve such concepts from the grip of ego so you are able to take in the next level of this cosmic truth. Such a new model of co-creation helps you see the art of manifestation beyond the vibration of fear. The fear-based equation of “if I don’t do this, I can’t have that” or “unless I do this compulsively, there’s no way I can have what I want” are two examples of rather clever ways in which the spiritual ego attempts to sell you on micro-management as an essential spiritual practice. From this space of clarity, you may also see how trying to stay at a certain vibration all the time is simply a recipe for ungrounded manic behavior. Such an erratic frequency may only lead to frustration, disappointment, confusion, apathy, depression, and exhaustion.

Whether you have spent a weekend walking on coals, chanting or ‘high-fiving’ strangers in a hotel ball room, breaking boards with your bare hands, or declaring to the Universe that you are ready for something bigger, these are simply activities you choose to do with your time while awaiting what was always destined to come– but only at the very moment that inspires the greatest expansion of your consciousness, wisdom, and maturity.

This means you can feel blocked for as little or as much as possible and never miss out on the magnificent creations that are seeking you more precisely than you can ever seek them. There is free will, but it has more to do with how you choose to see each moment so you aren’t waiting for external circumstances to free you from an inner prison that is only as confining as the conclusions in your mind. As you spiritually evolve, you no longer hold your breath for what’s to come, nor do you imagine ‘it’ having the power to make you any happier. ‘It’ is simply one of many gifts the Universe is providing in each and every breath.

Once the things labeled as adversities and set-backs are welcomed as gifts equal to the outcomes you anticipate and desire, a life-long spiritual aspirant has successfully transitioned into the path of mastery.

This is a space where there is no such thing as blaming yourself for the amount of time each outcome takes to manifest; rather you accept it simply as a perfect set up to help you notice, acknowledge, and see through the limiting ideas you’ve believed. And yet, not even a limiting belief can stall destiny or make it come slower. It’s merely the inner-workings of a wise and loving Universe that doesn’t wish for anyone to be twisted in knots and confused about reality, while serving the highest desire of Source to know itself as you. Simply put, if you think the conventional notions of manifestation is a high level skill set, you can’t imagine the depth of mastery that awakens once you let go and let the perfection of destiny be your invisible vision board.

If you’re asking, “If it’s all such a perfect set-up, what do in-between the arrival of each gift of creation?”

The answer is simple: notice the suffering of the planet and dare to serve someone in need, and may it begin with you.
