Spirit Worker - Business Blocks
If your business is growing more slowly than it should, the answer is almost never more strategy.
For spirit workers, the blocks are always deeper; operating outside Universal Law, letting ego lead where Soul should, fighting a winter season instead of moving with it, carrying ancestral wounding that's still running the show, or doing this work from a place that isn't embodied.
I've mapped out 11 of the most common reasons spirit workers stall, and if even one of them lands for you, that recognition is worth paying attention to. You can read them below.
If you're an experienced practitioner who's ready to stop circling the same issues and actually move through them, I am available for 1 to 1 mentoring (Hit reply to this email to apply) and/or The Temple of Shadows cohort 2 is open for bookings HERE.
——————
1.You're operating outside Universal Law, and it's costing you.
What works ethically in mainstream business doesn't always translate to spirit work. When you cut corners, follow someone else's questionable playbook, or compromise your integrity you're not just making a business mistake, you're misaligning with the cosmic principles that actually govern this work.
False light workers get short-term rewards with a very high price attached. Genuine spirit workers build on a foundation the higher realms can actually support.
2. Your ego is leading sessions that your Soul should be running.
We need our ego to show up, put ourselves on a platform, and do the visible work of being in business, but the moment ego steps into the ceremonial or healing space, the quality of what you're holding shifts.
Clients feel it, the field is affected by it.
If your ego is consistently leading, at some point you'll be asked to stop and go inward, and that invitation won't feel optional.
3. You're fighting a winter season instead of moving with it.
As animists, we understand seasonality in nature and we're less practiced at recognizing it in our own work cycles.
If you're in a winter season, slower, quieter, more inward, and you keep pushing for summer results, you'll exhaust yourself and stall the very growth you're trying to force. Find out which season your Soul has placed you in and work with it rather than against it.
4. You're directing energy against other practitioners, and it's redirecting back to you.
I've known people who have cursed competitors, deliberately damaged other spirit workers' businesses, and lied to their clients out of fear or competition, and I have never seen it work long-term.
Higher realm spirits don't collaborate with that energy. Whatever is sent out returns amplified. This work requires a level of integrity that has nothing to do with being passive, it's about understanding which forces you want backing your business.
5. You're following trends instead of your Soul's actual assignment.
A spiritual business is Soul-led, and your Soul's path is not identical to anyone else's. Not everyone is meant to scale to thousands of clients, run massive ceremonies, or build a global platform because some of us are designed to take people on deeper, slower, more contained journeys.
If you're chasing what you see working for others rather than listening to what your Soul is actually asking of you, you'll keep feeling like you're running a race that wasn't designed for your body.
6. Your unprocessed trauma is running your sessions without your permission.
Clients feel a dysregulated nervous system immediately, and though they may not name it, they walk out of your sessions carrying it.
If your own trauma is still very much alive in your body and you haven't done the deep regulation and integration work, it will show up in your client relationships, your boundaries, and the energetic quality of the space you're holding.
This isn't a judgment, it's one of the most important forms of professional development available to practitioners in this field.
7. Your Soul and spirit team may be deliberately slowing things down.
This one is hard to sit with when you're in it. My first kinesiology clinic took seven years to establish in London, and at the time I didn't understand why.
Looking back, I simply wasn't ready, and the timing was protecting both me and my clients.
If your business is growing more slowly than you expect, consider the possibility that you're being held at a particular threshold for good reason, because the readiness you're being asked to develop is part of the offering.
8. Your ancestral lineage wounding may still be running the show.
The witch wound, the persecution wound, loyalties to ancestors who didn't survive doing this work openly, and inherited beliefs about spiritual work and money being incompatible don't stay in the past.
They show up in self-sabotage, in pricing, in how you show up to this work, and in what you unconsciously believe you're allowed to build. Ancestral healing isn't a side offering in this work. For many of us, it's the non-negotiable foundation.
9. Your foundations can't hold what you're trying to build.
Physical, energetic, emotional, mental, and spiritual foundations need to be cohesive before a business can carry greater weight.
If any of those layers are fractured or unaddressed, scaling will hurt both you and the people you're working with.
A business that grows faster than its foundations can support doesn't just plateau, it collapses inward, taking your clients' trust and your own vitality with it.
10. You're doing this work from a wounded place, and your power knows it.
The most common wound I see in this field is the need for external validation and the unconscious belief that being seen as the “chosen one” is the same as having genuine authority.
When we work from that wound, our vitality decreases, our ability to hold space diminishes, and the work loses its real potency, because the medicine we carry only flows cleanly when we're not using our clients to fill something in ourselves.
11. Your shadows are running the show, and journaling them is only the beginning.
Shadow work is non-negotiable in this field, and if yours has stalled at naming and journaling your shadows, you haven't yet reached the territory that actually changes a practitioner.
The ones who can genuinely hold others through darkness are the ones who have learned to hold their own shadows with real love and compassion, not management, not analysis, but the kind of presence that doesn't flinch.
There is a shadow I call the final gateway.
It sits at the core wound of the practitioner, the deepest, most defended place, and when a spirit worker walks through the fires of that one, something shifts in their work that cannot be undone.
They become phenomenal at what they do because they have been to the place their clients most fear and they came back changed, not broken.
In my experience, this is also the one that sends practitioners running.
Not because they lack courage, but because it is the most painful threshold to face.
And yet it is the one that everything else in this work is quietly pointing toward.
If any of these landed, the work isn't outside you, it's within you, waiting.
I work with experienced practitioners who are ready to go beyond surface-level and do the real integration that makes this work sustainable, powerful, and genuinely transformative.
If you want to understand where your specific blocks are and what the next layer of your work actually is, send me a message and we'll talk.
The Temple of Shadows begins in August.
