Yes, that is my post. Here I sit in bed at 2:40 pm with no motivation to do anything, what used to be a very driven woman and a list maker has no idea what my next step is-the intuitive voice has gone away. The sense of my direction-why? Is it so I can reflect on my true sense of being? or is it so I can wonder aimlessly for some unknown lesson I am meant to learn? Have you been through this? Let me know what you did to get out of it?

Yes I have been there. I end up there more than I like to admit.

I gain self I think mostly. I think I also gain a moment to breathe and be - be with me - just be.

I am forced out of it by my life style and my promises. I usually have to manage my responsibilities, get bored or someone calls and the time is done and I am gone again. When it seems to stick me too long a nice bath, smells, a glass of wine and a man seem to work to jiggle me out when it becomes a funk.

I do admit though there are times where my wonderful feather bedding doesn't get to be on my bed or I wouldn't leave my bed. Snuggle in and just be, let the mind wander, rest and breathe. Some tea, smudge stick going, candles and I just want to sit in the comforts of clouds. Bliss on some level and comfort, safety.

If it isn't lasting too long enjoy. I have always feared it would end up as depression but I can do that walking just fine no need for my bed.

Well I DO take to my bed. I call it "the proper victorian woman cure." Something good to read, some hot tea, comfort food available and no interuptions. It isn't long and I get bored and find some distraction that gets me off the dime.

It sounds like, I'm going through something very similar. I to have no motivation. I have always been on the go. Whether it was out working in my garden, taking a class, planning for my next adventure, working of course. I don't really want to lie around. But I find myself doing it a lot lately. I have to force myself to do almost everything. It could be a little bit of a depression. But I really don't have a lot to be depressed about. My life is pretty good. I mean there are things that could be better. But Iv'e always look at things like that as a challenge. If I didn't like something in my life it wouldn't take me long to do something about it. I do think for me it is a time to slow down and take in life. I'm learning how to be more conscious. more awake with my surroundings. Learning how to connect with people,plants and animals on a deeper level. But Ive slowed down so much I feel lazy and I'm a little concerned about it.

It's quite possibly that it's Nature's way of telling you something's wrong whether or not you realize it/will admit it -- and it's going to hold you hostage until you become open and receptive to listening to what it has to say! Best thing for you to say? "I am open and receptive to guidance" ...from whatever it is you believe guides you (for example, Infinite Mind).

Peace and enlightenment be with you.

Involve yourself in activities that take you outside your own concerns.

The Real Work
*
It may be that when we no longer know what to do
we have come to our real work,
*
and that when we no longer know which way to go
we have come to our real journey.
*
The mind that is not baffled is not employed.
*
The impeded stream is the one that sings.

this also sounds like it could be a physical problem in addition to a spiritual one. Even a dietary imbalance or deficiency could be causing this lethargy.
