Techniques for Changing Perspective

Changing perspectives can be difficult if you are immersed in the emotion of being stuck. These suggestions can help you release the emotions associated with the blocking.

Try this, create a ritual to let it go. Write down what you know about what is blocking you. Then tear it up or burn it (in a safe way, don't be starting unintended fires, put it in a woodstove, fireplace or grill).

Or, write a letter about being stuck to a made up person of your choice, send it to them without a return address. Imagine the freedom you feel as you mail it. Releasing the yuck, stuck stuff as you drop it in the box.

The writing itself may help you process the block. Plus,you may provide some entertainment for a postal worker somewhere who is assigned with figuring out what to do with mystery mail. OOOOwee, I suppose I could get in trouble with the post office for that idea. (Disclaimer; this suggestion is for idea purposes only, by reading this you take full responsibility for any consequences associated with actually communicating with imaginary persons)

Try to make it fun. Lightening up about getting unstuck will help.

If those suggestions don't work, try cleaning yourself, physically and energetically or metaphorically. Take a shower go for a swim.

Take a feather, burn sage or use old bread or crackers. Use any one of these items to clean your aura if you believe in aura's. If you don't, then symbolically use your imagination to picture putting all the yuck that is in and around you in the old bread. Go through the motions of brushing the yuck off from around your body with the feather or other items. If you use bread or old crackers, then feed it to the birds or the fish or dig hole and bury it or just put it in the compost or trash. Then eat a piece of fresh fruit or something your intuition suggests. Treat yourself to something, get fresh flowers or burn a candle and imagine bringing in new fresh energy.

Don't like that approach, try this:

Find a metaphor; imagine yourself as a plant, animal, car, superhero etc. Something that symbolizes who you imagine being when you are no longer stuck and have accomplished the challenge before you. Do something to act like that imagining. Dress up as the metaphor, embody it somehow.

Don't feel like dressing up, find a symbol of the metaphor and place it where you will see it often to remind you of it.
