Why you are still stuck: The spiritual reason you are not moving forward

Ever feel like you are doing everything right, yet progress eludes you? This article explores the unseen spiritual and energetic barriers—like karmic loops and emotional blocks—that may be hindering your growth. Learn to identify these hidden obstacles and explore practical methods to release them, paving the way for genuine transformation and forward momentum.

Why do you feel stuck despite doing everything right?

You've followed the prescribed path: education, career, relationships. Yet, an unshakable feeling of stagnation lingers. This paradox is more common than you might think.

Are you mistaking busyness for progress?

Why you are still stuck: The spiritual reason you are not moving forward

In our fast-paced world, being busy is often equated with being productive. However, constant activity doesn't necessarily mean you're moving forward. It's possible to be caught in a cycle of tasks that keep you occupied but don't contribute to your personal growth.

Could emotional baggage be weighing you down?

Unresolved emotions from past experiences can act as invisible anchors, preventing you from progressing. These emotional blocks often reside in your subconscious, influencing your decisions and reactions without your awareness.


What are the common energetic blocks holding you back?

Energetic blocks are disruptions in your spiritual energy flow, often resulting from negative experiences or emotions. Identifying these blocks is the first step toward healing.

Is guilt keeping you anchored in the past?

Guilt is a powerful emotion that can tether you to past mistakes, hindering your ability to move forward. It's essential to recognize and address guilt to free yourself from its grasp.

How does constant comparison drain your energy?

Comparing yourself to others can lead to feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. This constant comparison can drain your energy and distract you from your unique path.

Are you caught in a cycle of broken karmic loops?

Karmic loops are repetitive patterns that stem from unresolved issues in past lives or earlier in your current life. Breaking free from these loops requires awareness and intentional action.


How does karma function as a feedback loop?

Karma is often misunderstood as a system of punishment and reward. In reality, it's a feedback mechanism that reflects your actions and intentions, guiding your spiritual growth.

What is the spiritual science behind karma?

Karma operates on the principle of cause and effect. Your actions, thoughts, and intentions create energy that influences your future experiences. Understanding this can empower you to make conscious choices that align with your desired outcomes.

How do karmic patterns manifest in daily life?

Karmic debt patterns can appear as recurring challenges or relationships that test your growth. Recognizing these patterns allows you to address underlying issues and break the cycle.


What practical steps can help clear these blocks?

Clearing energetic blocks involves intentional practices that promote healing and self-awareness.

How can Journaling Illuminate Hidden Patterns?

Journaling is a powerful tool for self-reflection. By writing down your thoughts and feelings, you can uncover patterns and beliefs that may be hindering your progress.

What energy rituals can restore balance?

Energy rituals, such as meditation, chakra balancing, and smudging, can help cleanse your energy field and restore balance. These practices create a sacred space for healing and transformation.

Why Is Inner Forgiveness Crucial for Healing?

Forgiveness, especially self-forgiveness, is vital for releasing guilt and resentment. Letting go of these negative emotions frees up energy for growth and positive change.


Can real-life stories inspire your journey?

Personal stories of transformation can provide insight and motivation for your own journey.

How Did One Individual break free from a Karmic Loop?

Consider the story of Maya, who repeatedly found herself in toxic relationships. Through introspection and energy healing practices, she identified a karmic pattern rooted in childhood trauma. By addressing these issues, she broke the cycle and cultivated healthier relationships.

What lessons can you apply to your own Life?

Maya's journey highlights the importance of self-awareness and intentional healing. By examining your patterns and taking proactive steps, you too can overcome energetic blocks and move forward.

Are you ready to take the next step?

You’ve read about the blocks, the karmic feedback loops, and the healing practices. But now the question is—what are you going to do about it? Because understanding alone doesn’t spark transformation. Action does.

How can a personalized energy check benefit you?

A personalized energy check acts like a diagnostic scan—identifying where the static is in your emotional and energetic systems.

Many people live with energy blocks so long they forget what clarity feels like. These blocks could be inherited, unhealed trauma, karmic, or simply accumulated from unexpressed grief, much like being invisible in the middle of a grieving world. But with expert help, you can release what no longer serves you and finally breathe easy.

Want to know what’s been weighing on you spiritually? DM me “UNBLOCK” for a free energy check.

What should you expect from a paid consultation?

During a paid consultation, we identify core wounds, review karmic patterns, and tailor a healing protocol using rituals, vastu-based insights, and intuitive guidance. It’s one part spiritual audit, one part soul coaching, and entirely customised to you. Clients often leave these sessions lighter. 

👉 Book your one-on-one session now.


How can you maintain momentum after clearing blocks?

Healing isn’t a one-and-done situation. It is a practice. Once you start shifting your energy, you’ll want to keep the vibe high and your soul grounded.

What daily practices support continued growth?

Here’s a simple but potent daily spiritual hygiene routine:

  • Morning gratitude journaling (3 minutes)

  • Pranic breathing for cleansing emotional residue

  • Candle ritual for focus and clarity

  • Saltwater foot soak before bed to draw out energetic toxins

Think of it like brushing your teeth, but for your aura. The key is consistency, not complexity. You don’t need to attend a silent retreat in the Himalayas every month—just showing up daily for your soul creates momentum that compounds.

How can community and support systems help?

Healing in isolation is hard. Transformation accelerates when shared. Whether it’s a trusted friend, a spiritual coach, or an online soul tribe, having a sounding board helps.

The world might be grieving or chaotic (just read any headline), but your spiritual practice can be your anchor. There’s sacred strength in community. You don’t have to do this alone.

What are the signs you are moving forward spiritually?

Once you begin unblocking and realigning, the signs of progress won’t always be dramatic. Often, they are subtle—like the hum of a well-tuned engine.

 How does increased awareness indicate progress?

You’ll catch yourself before reacting. You’ll witness your thoughts instead of being swept up by them. That’s growth.

You’ll notice how you respond to triggers. How the same situations no longer knock you off your emotional axis. Your intuition sharpens. You trust yourself more. And best of all—you stop needing external validation to feel worthy.

That’s spiritual adulting, my friend.

What changes in relationships reflect inner growth?

As your vibration rises, your relationships shift. Some will deepen. Others will fall away. And you’ll feel okay about both.

You'll start attracting connections that mirror your healing, not your wounds. The toxic ex, the draining colleague—they lose their grip. Your boundaries become sacred. Your love more unconditional.

These are not just “feel good” changes. They’re proof your inner world is aligning with your outer reality.


Why is it important to revisit and reflect regularly?

Healing isn't linear. Some days you'll feel like a radiant monk; other days like a hot mess. That’s okay.

How can periodic self-assessment prevent relapse?

Every few weeks, check in: Are old habits creeping back? Are you feeling emotionally charged or centred?

Use tools like:

  • Monthly journaling prompts

  • Emotional rating scales

  • Dream analysis

  • Astro-transits to understand cosmic influences

Awareness is prevention. When you catch the signs early, you can recalibrate before the chaos.

What tools aid in continuous spiritual development?

Here’s a few:

  • Books: “The Untethered Soul” by Michael A. Singer

  • YouTube Channels: And of course, Tushar Mangl’s YouTube Channel for weekly Vastu, energy, and healing content!

Subscribe. Watch. Reflect. Repeat.


Are you ready to unblock and thrive?

You're not broken. You are blocked.

You're not lazy. You are energetically tangled.

You're not unlucky. You're karmically repeating until you awaken.

The truth is—you were never meant to stay stuck. Your soul came here to grow, love, and live freely. That heaviness you feel? That fog in your chest? It’s not permanent. It’s the residue of patterns that no longer serve you.

And guess what? You have the tools. You have the awareness. You even have this article. So what's stopping you now?

FAQs

What are energy blocks and How Do They Form?

Energy blocks are disruptions in your spiritual or emotional energy flow, often caused by trauma, suppressed emotions, limiting beliefs, or karmic debt. Imagine your body as a spiritual circuit—when an emotional surge (like grief, guilt, or rage) isn’t processed, it creates a short circuit. Over time, these shorts stack up, creating fatigue, confusion, and a persistent feeling of being stuck.

Can Karmic Patterns be changed?

Absolutely. Karmic patterns aren’t a life sentence. They're lessons on loop. Once you recognise the pattern—say, choosing emotionally unavailable partners—you can consciously choose differently. Through spiritual practices, journaling, therapy, or energy work, you can interrupt the loop and shift the karma.

How often should I practice energy clearing rituals?

Think of energy clearing as showering. You wouldn't go weeks without cleansing your physical body, right? A simple daily or weekly ritual like smudging, grounding meditations, or journaling is a great start. If you’re navigating heavy emotions, doing it frequently helps anchor you.

Is professional guidance necessary for spiritual growth?

While growth can happen alone, professional guidance can fast-track healing. Think of it as having a map when you’re lost in a dense forest. A healer, coach can reflect back your blind spots and offer tools personalised to your energy.

How do I know if  I'm truly unstuck?

You’ll feel it. Your body will be lighter. You’ll move through life with less resistance. Patterns that once trapped you no longer trigger you. Relationships improve. Decisions feel aligned. You’ll feel... free. That’s your soul whispering, “We’re back on track.”

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In fact, i...

Politics - A Profession

This post is loosely inspired by the  TATA Tea a d  where this politician goes to ask for votes and a voter asks him for his qualification and work experience the the important 'job' that he is embarking upon. The politician laughs at the voter, asking him what job is the voter referring to. The voter responds, "The job to run the country". Do politicians in other countries view politics as a profession? Or is politics viewed similarly across international boundaries? The best way of course to find out is go to that ever useful tool for professionals - LinkedIn.  Here are the results: Barrack Obama Hillary Clinton Sarah Palin The apparently technologically challenged Senator   John McCain . I also came across many politicians, prime ministers who have LinkedIn profiles. While having a LinkedIn profile is not a certificate of a person character, one has to appreciate the intent. Reach out to masses, and more importantly, take politics as a profession. Successful leade...
