Spiritual Constipation

If you are feeling blocked, there is a good chance you have spiritual constipation.

Something is stuck in your creative channel. And it’s slowing or shutting down the flow of new energy and ideas.

When I say “creative channel” I am referring to that internal antenna we all have, that connects us to ideas and inspiration.

Nurturing a deep and meaningful relationship with our channel is fundamental to our consistent creativity. This applies whether you’re creating art, podcasts, businesses, or even relationships.

The most important thing a creator or artist can do is keep their channels open.

When I experience spiritual constipation, it’s usually caused by things I said I would do, but have left open or abandoned.

These can include:

• unresolved conversations
• halfway done projects
• unfinished yearly taxes
• emails that have not been responded to

…or really anything that is lingering.

I either need to finish that commitment, or intentionally end the project so that I can move on and clear the channel.

To clarify, these things don’t need to be finished or fully actualized in order to clear the channel. In some cases, it’s enough to just consciously close the project and move on.

A trick I use to maintain the healthy flow of my creative channels is to consistently express myself.

Continually and consistently tapping into your channel is like adding fibre to your diet. It keeps the flow of energy moving and is key to a balanced creative breakfast.

I am so dedicated to this practice that few years back my catchphrase was, “Channeling keeps the channels open.” Constantly tapping into my channel keeps the flow strong and clear.

This is also one of the reasons I love daily meditation and journaling. Before I meditate I envision this channel as a literal beam of light from the sky flowing into my head and down into my heart and body, full of guidance, wisdom and inspiration from God.

I also say a prayer that helps me tap even further into the channel that usually sounds like this.

Are there things in your life that are causing you spiritual constipation?

Are you ready for a big release?

I’m curious to know 1) what clogs you up and 2) what clears you out.

Big love,
