Early this morning on my way to bootcamp I passed through an area I call 'the dead zone'. I call it that because not only does it feel empty and vacant, it is also where all signals fail, all communication gets lost. The radio acts funny, the cell phone dies. It's only a couple of kilometers but it's funny... I notice it every time. I always wonder what it is like for people living in 'the dead zone.'Today it made me think of life. How sometimes there are periods of inactivity. Where everything stops moving. It made me think of clients who get 'stuck' and even sometimes refuse to move.For some this lack of activity or movement or nothing happening could be a few moments days weeks or even years.A dry spell of sorts. Whether in your personal life and relationships, or your career, spirituality, etc.Things just stop. You feel stuck. And it can be difficult to get out. It is similar to a car stuck in mud or snow....wheels spinning.... Going no where.Whenever I hit a 'dead zone' in my life, I do welcome that time to stop and reassess. I truly believe when we are in alignment and balanced and healthy we are in sync with the universe and there is a beautiful flow that occurs. When this flow ceases and I find myself in 'the dead zone' sometimes it is because I need a well deserved break, but more often than not spirit wants me to stop and contemplate something...I may be on the 'wrong' track and so I'm stopped. So I do. I stop. I contemplate. I meditate. I spend a lot of time in nature. Nature is always changing and growing and evolving even when it seems still. Being in nature reminds me to do the same... Gracefully... And gently.But not forever. You see as much as a 'dead zone' can be a good thing, you do not want to get stuck in one. The key to get out if you find yourself stuck (and believe me you will know when you are stuck)is to just move. In Any direction. Even backwards is sometimes necessary to get the movement and momentum going again. (think of the car stuck in mud or snow- you use whatever works) So whether you move forward, backwards or sideways.. Just get moving. And breathe. Thank the dead zone for the learning and wisdom it gave to you and then get moving again and find your flow.If you are really stuck and can't get out then you may need a helping hand (or a spiritual tow truck). Find a friend you love and trust and ask for help. Or go for an energy work session, go for a walk in nature, do something Fun! Something that excites you and before you know it you will be flowing with the perfect balance and movement of the universe once again.
