Unstick Yo' Self Pagan Style: An Illuminating and Semi Aggro Series Intended to Help You Remove the Emotional, Mental, and Energetic Blockages Messing With Your Spiritual Path

by spicevicious

I know that you have seen or experienced the following: You or someone you know gets a psychic reading and a lot of the elements ring true, so you ask the seer to predict an outcome. Lo and behold, you can not only live with the outcome, but the Prozac gods appear to have regurgitated in your direction... until several months go by and the happy outcome is nowhere to be found. You go back to the reader to find out what happen and this is what they tell you:

“When you remove your spiritual blockages, then the energy will flow. You're not trusting The Process. You're blocked. That'll be $40.”

Before emotional shrinkage sets in, please consider the following: If a reader has nailed details about you and the situation that they did not fish for and could not possibly have known, but the predicted outcome was miles apart from what really transpired, you may have a blockage or two.

So that you get the idea of what a blockage feels like, think of your mind as an oven. Now think of your decisions as being the oven once it is ready to cook your food, ready to do a job for which it was created.. Using that analogy, trying to create meaningful action when you are blocked is like trying to cook in an oven with a burned out pilot light. Your mind wants to help you put thought into action, but all you get is a “fzzt fzzt” sound and intentions that just sit there until life decides things for you. This is not a good look for any season.

The most common consequences of being blocked are: financial problems, relationship problems, career problems, health problems (i.e. constipation and sore throats), and an inexplicable series of bad events in any area of your life. These blockages may be a result of negative karmic patterns, curses, self-defeating patterns learned this lifetime, or negative subconscious messages from childhood.

Blockages do not just go away on their own, contrary to popular belief. They need to be handled by the person who is blocked. I'm not saying that spiritual healing or that curses are not real. I have undoubtedly seen events that can only be described as miracles. I have also seen curses and sustained ill-wishing create years of emotional, mental, physical, and financial wreckage for people. What I am saying is this: Before you give upwards of $500 to someone with a mysterious accent and a hacking cough to perform a healing or exorcism, you first need to take care of what is in your immediate control, which is you. Before I get into the fun techniques for unblocking the garbage put on you by others, I would like you to spend a few weeks practicing unsticking the stuff you put on yourself.

The first technique for unsticking combines Jungian Letter Therapy with an easily personalized candle spell. You will need:

1. A High John the Conqueror candle, a plain yellow novena candle, or a yellow Virgin Mary candle.

2. Cinnamon incense.

3. A journal and writing implement.

The spell is as follows:

1. Pick a time of day and location where you will not be disturbed for the hour this will take.

2. Hold the candle and imagine white light from heaven and Earth grounding it. Now ground yourself with this light.

3. Light the incense and the candle and repeat the following nine times: “I am lighting this candle to ask my Higher Powers to remove the illusions and obstacles in my life caused by any grudges I may be holding and replace them with healing, love, truth, white light, and prosperity.”

4. Again, ground yourself with the white light from heaven and earth. Feel it energize and comfort you.

5. With your paper and writing implement, you will write a letter to who or whatever you believe causes you to doubt yourself. It will need to be in the following four parts:

a. “Dear So and So, I love you because ____________ (insert reason why you love them).”

b. “So and So, I wish you had loved me by ____________ (insert ways in which they had

loved you back).”

c. “I accept and appreciate this lesson in ____________ (whatever you think you could have learned from the experience).”

d. “I transmute all negative energy surrounding this situation into healing, love, truth,

healing, white light, and prosperity.”

6. If you are Buddhist or Hindu, use a mantra (“Ohm Mani Padme Hum” and mantras to Ganesh or Kali are popular for this). Catholics could use the Hail Mary, St. Jude's Prayer, or one to St. Michael. You get the idea. Just use whatever prayer seems appropriate and say it 3-9 times (108 times or ten minutes for mantras).

7. Repeat the affirmation in Step 3 nine times.

8. Reflect on the work you have done for as long as you need to.

9. Do this spell everyday until the candle completely burns out (usually nine days to a month).

Have fun with this spell. The more honesty and openness you put into it, the more you will start to see where you are blocked. It may be painful at first, but you cannot fix what you cannot find.
