Building Circuitry: A Powerful Practice for Working with Resistance
Your body holds wisdom about what's blocking you from taking aligned action.
In Sacred Business, we often talk about resistance as an internal compass pointing toward what matters most. Today, I want to share a powerful practice that helps you work directly with this resistance in your body.
We call this practice "building circuitry" because it helps you create new pathways for working with the raw energy of resistance, rather than getting caught in mental stories or avoidance patterns.
The key insight is this: Your body holds wisdom about what's blocking you from taking aligned action. Every time you feel resistance around an important task - that tight chest, churning stomach, or constricted throat - it's actually an invitation to integrate a part of yourself that's asking for attention.
Instead of pushing through resistance or trying to ignore it, this practice helps you:
Locate exactly where resistance lives in your body
Work with that energy directly
Create new patterns for moving forward
When you notice resistance, first locate where you feel it physically. Maybe it's a knot in your solar plexus around sending that important email, or tension in your throat before making sales calls.
Place your hand on that area and apply gentle pressure. This simple act of touching the spot tells your body "I'm here, I'm listening."
Then use this breathing pattern:
Inhale from the base of your spine up to the resistance point
Take in a bit more air when you reach it
Hold briefly while maintaining pressure
Exhale up through the crown of your head
Inhale back down to the resistance point
Exhale down to your base
Continue this up-and-down breathing until you feel the resistance start to shift. If you're short on time, aim for at least 7 cycles.
Remember: If you can't pinpoint the exact location, simply ask "If I could feel it, where might it be?"
Trust your first instinct.
The precision matters less than your willingness to stay present with whatever arises.
Watch this video demonstration below to see exactly how to implement this practice in your daily work.
This simple tool can help you transform resistance from an obstacle into a trusted ally on your Sacred Business path.
