Sometimes we’re floating down the river of life, and then something stops us in our tracks. Instead of feeling this blissful floating, we are stopped by boulders, twigs, logs, heavy mud. Anything to stop us on the journey of where we want to be.
It’s true that these blockages are inevitable. The challenges we face in life do shape the river that we are. The way the water moves and molds around these blockages is a sign of your resilience and growth journey.
In today’s Workshop Wednesday, we are taking a look at the dam that we can accidentally build right smack in the middle of our flow.
What are these blockages? How long have we been molding around them? Are there any that are ready to be released?
That’s what we are diving into today in our guided visualization of the dam that we’ve built.

Here are some guided reflection questions to do after the visualization exercise:
Where am I moving against the current of my own needs?
What were some blockages that came up during this exercise? Were there any times these served you, or have you outgrown them?
Were there any emotions or changes in the way your body felt while you visualized your river’s blockages?
If this river could speak, what would it ask of me?
Thank you for joining another Workshop Wednesday. I love to hear from the community in the comments! Let me know how your resilience has shown through when blockages are in your way.
