The Energetics of Feeling Stuck: Why You Can’t Move Forward and How to Shift

Have You Ever Felt Like No Matter What You Do, You Just Can’t Move Forward?

If you’ve ever felt like you’re spinning your wheels but getting nowhere, you’re not alone. Many women experience this deep frustration — a sense of being trapped in old patterns, unable to step into the life they desire. But what if being stuck isn’t just about mindset or external circumstances? What if it’s an energetic experience?

The truth is, stagnation isn’t just a phase — it’s a state of energy misalignment that can be shifted when we understand how our energy fields work.

The Subtle Energy Behind Feeling Stuck

Everything in the universe, including your thoughts, emotions, and physical body, operates on energy. When energy flows freely, life moves forward effortlessly. But when energy becomes blocked or stagnant, we experience frustration, exhaustion, and confusion.

Here are some common energetic causes of feeling stuck:

🔹 Unprocessed emotions stored in your field, creating resistance to change.

🔹 Energetic attachments to old relationships, places, or identities.

🔹 Fear-based conditioning from childhood or past experiences that limits expansion.

🔹 A disconnection from your higher self (soul) and intuitive guidance.

🔹 Over-identification with struggle, making ease and flow feel unfamiliar or unsafe.

Breaking Free: How to Shift Your Energy & Regain Momentum

If feeling stuck is an energetic issue, then the key to movement isn’t to push harder—it’s to shift your energy first. Here are some ways to do that:

1. Clear Your Energy Field

Your energy field absorbs everything — from emotions to external influences. Regular cleansing removes stagnation, provides clarity and restores flow.

Try:

Salt baths to cleanse negative energy.

Energy healing techniques like Magdalene Rose Reiki and breathwork.

Smudging with Sage or Palo Santo to clear stagnant energy.

2. Tune Into Your Body’s Wisdom

Stuck energy often manifests physically. Pay attention to where tension, tightness, or heaviness resides in your body.

💡 Practice: Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and place your hands on that area. Ask yourself, What am I holding onto here? Breathe into the sensation and visualize it releasing.

3. Identify and Release Old Attachments

Sometimes, we remain stuck because we are unconsciously attached to an old version of ourselves. This can include outdated dreams, unaligned relationships, or limiting beliefs.

💡 Journal Prompt: What in my life no longer aligns with who I am becoming? What am I afraid to release?

4. Activate Your Heart Energy

Your heart chakra is the bridge between your higher self and your human experience. When it’s blocked, movement feels impossible. 💡 Heart Activation Practice: Place your hands on your heart, breathe deeply, and repeat: I open myself to new possibilities. I trust my path. I am ready to move forward.

5. Take One Aligned Step

Energy moves when we move. If you’re waiting for clarity before taking action, shift your perspective: Clarity comes from movement, not waiting. Take one small step, even if it feels uncertain. The universe responds to action. Better yet, try doing something different, and out of your usual element. This will shift the energy immediately and provide more clarity.

Final Thoughts: You Are Not Stuck, You Are Transforming

Stagnation is a feeling, and feelings are invitations to shift your perspective and energy. Every moment of stagnation carries the seed of transformation. By working with your subtle energy, you can release the weight of the past, reconnect with your soul, and realign with the flow of life.
