How do I get past this blockage to start up my project Hex 41 UC

[dancingfox]

So I´ve got a plan to start up a freelance project. I want to start up as a coach, more of a spiritual guide. It feels like a calling I am finally answering. I already work as a job and language coach in my day job but it doesn't satisfy me with all the rules and regulations that comes with the territory. The idea has been brewing for some time since the start of the lockdown really. I have lots of ideas, and also a good background in my career. I would like to weave in some of my spiritual practices and insights in my coachings as well. But I seem to lack the confidence, something is holding me back to work out my idea and give it a go. It´s been driving me crazy, angry at myself for not being able to make the next step.

I've had some personal issues that were blocking me, but I am working through the last threads of that pattern I believe. Perhaps I am just really impatient with myself. Also I am a terribly chaotic person I probably just need more structure. I already purchased Hillarys Resonance Journal as it seems to provide the structure I so direly need This reading is also my first entry in the journal.

I got hex 41 DECREASING

Quote Hilary's book 'I Ching'
Trusting your insight and persevering in your chosen direction, you understand why you are doing this rather then dwelling on what you are giving up. You may still wonder how you can do it or how much you are expected to give.

Yes I recognize my state of mind, I feel like I am giving up an old way of living/ earning money and it scares the heck out of me. And I keep coming back to the question 'How do i get started?' Instead of just getting on with it

But the offering need only be modest.
Yes I have a talent to make these things more complex then they need to be, want to get to the bottom of everything and tend to lose the bigger picture. I am going in 10 different directions with this and then I get nowhere. Oompfh.

Emotions sustaining growth in higher experience and control deepening your emotional capacity.
I often tend to get overwhelmed by my emotions. When this happens I feel paralyzed. I have been working on this, because it's the main thing keeping me from getting ahead in life. Fear, anxiety... I have recognized this pattern and have some great exercises and good folk to talk to as well. I

So have faith and persevere. And ask myself does this need to be so complex? How can I make this easier?

Any other insights would be much appreciated as always!

Hi dancingfox,

"How do I get past this blockage to start up my project?"
41uc ~ Decrease static stories (mountain over lake):

​

Until you penetrate thru to effortless action (42 - Increase, wind over thunder).

I hope this helps!

You have to let go, let go of your stress, your anxiety and therefore, let go of your bubbling mind... Three practices can help : pranayamas (breathing techniques from yoga, with very fast effects), meditation (but without forcing, cool) and yoga that strengthens the mind. Relax

Hi Freewill

I love the visual part
What do you mean with static stories exactly?

I am actually starting with yoga lessons tomorrow! Vinyasa yoga 🕉

Making the dancing fox can also be very profitable

Basically, everyone has the same choice from moment to moment:

Immersion in My Story or Presence to What Is...

​

My Story is composed of the collection of narratives that one routinely associates with daily life. Studies have shown that about 90% of the stories that we tell ourselves during the day are simply rote repetitions of our unexamined, but rigid, beliefs? The result is that we effectively live more in the bubble of our stories than in the community of shared experience in the present moment?

This might not be a problem, except that our stories carry emotional payloads with them which get re-activated with each re-telling? So, when we are immersed in our stories, we are simultaneously getting thrashed around in the troubled waters of panic, fluctuating self-esteem, variable enthusiasm, etc, etc, in the Washer Machine of daily life?

I am not a therapist, but my own observation is that the cyclical repetition of words, images and energies in the form of stories, told day after day, holds the seeds of our difficulties, such as failure to launch, self-sabotage, wandering interest, poor self-care, co-dependency, etc?

The miracle of spiritual practice, imho, comes about when a person begins making the conscious choice to Increase being Present to direct experience...while decreasing being Lost in My Story in the Washer Machine, moment to moment?

The practice is to weed-out all the old static stories ~ which steadily deflates the bubble of separateness and returns you to dynamic participation in the Oneness of What is?

So, in this case, I read 41uc as free yourself from the playlist of your old stories in order to make room for new growth?

Very interesting

Very interesting and also very, very true for me right now. Are those your drawings? They're cool! Do you have any more? They would be so wonderful when used in coaching others! By making it visual you created a wonderful tool <3
