How to Move Stagnation from Your Physical, Spiritual, Emotional, and Mental Bodies.

Welcome to our new weekly newsletter! If you missed our Instagram LIVE conversation last Friday, don't worry - we are filling you in on all the details below. Make sure you join our next Instagram LIVE conversation this Friday, where we will be sharing our favorite homemade coffee-cocoa facial.



In our fast-moving culture, it’s easy to feel stuck whether physically, spiritually, emotionally, or mentally. Stagnation can show up in many ways, from physical discomfort and emotional turmoil to spiritual disconnection and lack of mental clarity. We believe that achieving true wellness involves addressing and releasing stagnation from all aspects of your being.


1. Physical Body: Embrace Movement


Our physical bodies are designed to be in constant motion, yet we rarely have the opportunity to use it to its full capacity. When we become sedentary or experience physical blockages, we can feel sluggish and restricted, leading to physical pain. To move stagnation from your physical body:


-Incorporate Movement: Engage in regular physical activities like walking, stretching, yoga or dancing. These practices help release tension and increase circulation by oxygenating your muscles and lubricating your joints.


-Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to areas where you feel tightness or discomfort. Gentle, mindful movements can help bring nutrients to the area to help minimize those sensations.


-Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water supports your body's natural detoxification processes and helps maintain energy levels.


2. Spiritual Body: Reconnect and Realign


Spiritual stagnation often manifests as a sense of disconnection or lack of purpose. Reconnecting with your spirituality can bring clarity and renewal:


- Meditate or Pray Regularly: Meditation helps clear mental clutter and encourages a deeper connection to our Highest Source. Even a few minutes a day can make a significant difference.


- Use Incense: Burning incense such as Palo Santo or Frankincense can support spiritual resetting and alignment, and have numerous cleansing, restoring and relaxation benefits. Place them in your home or sanctuary.


- Practice Gratitude: Developing a sense of gratitude shifts your focus to the positive aspects of your life, offering a sense of spiritual fulfillment and connection. You can use a gratitude journal or simply say “Thank You” to yourself/ God/Creator/Universe at different points throughout the day when you feel called.


- Explore Your Dreams: Spiritual messages often try to come through our subconscious, when we are sleeping or daydreaming. Write down any vivid dreams immediately after waking and seek to understand them through personal research or seeking spiritual support from a guide or mentor.


3. Emotional Body: Release and Heal


Emotional stagnation can lead to heaviness and overwhelm. Addressing emotional blockages is crucial for us to move forward in life and can be approached in different ways:


- Journaling: Writing down your thoughts and feelings can provide clarity and relief. Reflecting on your emotions allows you to release pent-up feelings and gain insights into your inner world.


- Seek Support: Talking to a trusted friend, therapist, or counsellor can help process and release emotional baggage that is weighing you down.


- Engage in Self-Care: Activities such as taking a relaxing bath, enjoying a hobby, massage, pampering, or spending time in nature can nurture your emotional side. Actively participating in self-love allows you to pour into yourself in ways you might feel are missing.


4. Mental Body: Clear the Clutter


Mental stagnation often results from stress, overthinking, or lack of focus. To refresh your mental space:


- Practice Mindfulness: Mindfulness techniques can help you stay present and reduce mental clutter. This can include meditation, being aware of how we think, engaging our senses or journaling.


- Set Boundaries: Create boundaries to reduce stress and prevent mental overload. Prioritize tasks and give yourself permission to rest.


- Roadmap: Write down your goals for the next 1, 5 and 10 years. Reverse engineer it by creating a step-by-step plan to get you there. 


- Time-management: Create a schedule for yourself to help you manage your time and priorities, offering direction and purpose to each day. Include time for things that are important, such as rest, self care and buffer/free time.


- Organize Your Environment: A tidy and organized environment can positively impact your mental clarity and reduce feelings of overwhelm (a personal fave for mental clarity!)


Moving stagnation from the physical, spiritual, emotional, and mental bodies requires intentionality. By incorporating movement, reconnecting with your spiritual self, releasing emotional blockages, and clearing mental clutter, you can achieve a state of balance, fulfillment and well-being.
