Lately, I have been feeling stuck in my life and not really feeling like I am going anywhere. In the past, I had been okay with everything...but recently I am feeling like a failure in my own life. What is the empty feeling that I am experiencing?
Well first of all, I would like to commend you for acknowledging the feeling that you are experiencing of feeling empty and stuck. With you doing that process is actually a big step. Usually if we are not completing our spiritual path or intentions...we can get that empty feeling. In fact, that empty feeling can exist with us for quite awhile, but maybe we don't acknowledge it until something in our life makes us take a good long look at it. Maybe it's a person who is in our life, our work or maybe a loss of a family member. There can be numerous reasons for what catapults us to the recognition. Either way honor this process of accepting and don't fear to ask Why? Never feel ashamed for having this moment…in fact savor it and really digest the experience. After you go through this process you will be able to look back on it and know that you have become much wiser for the experience. Have you had an unfulfilled dream? Have you set goals in your life? Do you frequently meditate and/or pray? Has there been a big event that has happened in your life that might change you on your path? List the activities in your life that you think might be causing you to feel empty...then courageously ask why? Then honestly answer it, if you can't immediately...pray and meditate on the question and come back to it later. During this time journalizing is great therapy. So many answers will come to you if you take the time to sit quietly and write your thoughts. Seeking therapy on all levels...possibly from a therapist or Life Coach, but I offer you to think outside the box too...Spiritual Counselors and even Reiki Treatments. These services are also designed to help one on their journey as whole. I wish you blessings through this powerful awareness and experience. Know that if you want to know the answers...the truth of your spirit will be your freedom! [ Sedona's advice column | Ask Sedona A Question ]
