Break Through Energetic Business Blocks
One of the scariest times for a small business owner is the lack of clients or customers. The financial worry that comes with a slow season can cause an incredible amount of stress. One minute it can seem as though everything is going smoothly financially, and the next minute the energy has completely shifted due to an event or even a thought.
This year was especially hard for me. I am glad that I experienced what I did because the lessons I learned came with tremendous growth personally, spiritually, and as a business owner. I broke through not feeling good enough, self-doubt, and insecurities. I had let go of the majority of my Sacred Creative clients to embark on a new journey with business partners. A partnership that didn’t end up going as planned and left me starting over.
It wasn’t a wrong move, just a lesson. But it left me scared, angry, and completely blocked. I had a lot of inner work to do and when I was finally ready to let go of those feelings, I literally felt an energetic burst and business is finally flowing again. I can compare the burst of energy to a Reiki session when the client is holding their breath, or maybe the practitioner is holding their breath, and everything is stagnant. Once the practitioner reminds the client to take a few breaths, the energy starts flowing – messages are coming through easier, everyone is relaxed, and healing can take place within the body.
PRACTICE GRATITUDE: DROP TO YOUR HEART
That leads me to my first tip for shifting the energy blocks. When I first started learning Reiki, I was always in my own head wondering if I was doing it right, if I was going to get any intuitive messages, if the client was happy, what we were having for dinner… My Reiki teacher gave me the most valuable advice that applies to any situation when you are in your head too much. That is to “drop to your heart”. Feel the love and the gratitude for your clients, don’t just think it, but really feel it. By doing this, you will feel a shift of energy in your heart chakra. It will open doors to new clients and opportunities, I have experienced this firsthand. Start a gratitude journal and each morning (or night) remember what you are most grateful for.
PATIENCE AND SELF CARE
Sometimes energy blocks are deeper than just needing to get out of your own head and practice gratitude. Maybe it is an event that needs emotional processing. That is what happened to me. I had to be ready to let go of my sadness and anger. It took a lot of deep reflection of what I really wanted in life and my emotions. Anger and sadness are hard emotion to quickly get over and sometimes it takes time, patience, self-care, prayer, and processing to move forward. And once you are ready to let go, huge breakthroughs can happen!
GET CREATIVE
Start a notebook of all your business ideas including, where you want your business to grow, how much money do you want to make, where do you see yourself in year, and what new services or products would you love to add. Then, start making notes of how you can get there. Activating your creative energy center will move you forward. I promise!
PRAYER
This was one of my marketing tactics when I was first building a business. Since I had a fulltime job, I had to be cautious how I marketed myself. After I finished with a client, I would say a prayer, “Okay, God. I am ready for my next client. Please help align them to me.” EVERY SINGLE TIME the Universe aligned my next client. And when I was ready to take on two clients at once, I would ask for two more. I think a lot of times we forget to ask for what we really want. If it is for your highest good, it was always be granted.
If you are feeling stuck, I hear you. I promise that light and abundance are just around the corner.
FEEL INTO WHAT IS CAUSING YOUR BLOCKAGE AND BE READY TO LET IT GO.
