We’ve all experienced it — those frustrating periods where no matter what you do, things just don’t seem to move. Projects stall, leads disappear, clarity fades, and even your usual motivation fizzles out. Logically, everything should be working… but energetically? It’s like hitting a wall.
This is what Cliff refers to as “stuck energy.” And rather than trying to bulldoze your way through, Qimen Dunjia offers a more intelligent (and gentle) way to navigate it.
Not Every Block Is a Problem to Fix
First, it’s important to understand that feeling blocked doesn’t necessarily mean something’s wrong. In fact, Cliff shares that many “stuck” periods are actually transition points — times when the old strategy has expired, but the new path hasn’t revealed itself yet.
QMDJ can help you see what kind of energy is active in your chart. Sometimes, it shows weak influence, which means external results may slow down, but internal integration is possible. Other times, it shows clash or opposition, which signals a need to pause, reassess, or shift your method.
Instead of panicking or overcorrecting, the chart gives you permission to sit in the discomfort — with wisdom.
The Three Types of Energetic Blocks
Cliff has noticed that most stuck energy falls into one of three patterns:
- Misalignment — You’re taking action that doesn’t align with your true motivations or inner voice. The chart often shows confusion, chaos, or weak direction stars.
- Overexertion — You’ve pushed too hard, too fast. The chart reflects burnout, overactive stars, or internal organs that signal fatigue.
- Energetic Clutter — There’s too much happening at once, making it hard for new energy to land. The chart may show scattered stars, opposing doors, or conflict between internal and external forces.
Once you know what kind of block you’re facing, you can tailor your response accordingly — rather than throwing more effort into the wrong fix.
What to Do When Nothing’s Working
Here’s where QMDJ really shines — it doesn’t just describe the stuckness; it offers energetic strategies to move through it.
Let’s say your chart reveals low influence, which means external wins may be limited right now. Instead of forcing launches or sales, Cliff might recommend turning inward — refining your backend, creating content without pressure, or investing in rest.
If the block stems from misaligned messaging, the chart might show you’re using a “door” or “deity” that doesn’t match your core energy. Small shifts — like changing your delivery method, speaking from a different angle, or even choosing a better time to post — can reignite flow.
“Wait” Doesn’t Mean “Do Nothing”
One of the hardest lessons for high-achievers is learning to wait with intention. Cliff emphasizes that waiting, in the QMDJ context, doesn’t mean becoming passive. It means using the lull wisely — for observation, insight, and redirection.
Some of the most powerful breakthroughs come during “inactive” periods. Clients report finally seeing blind spots, reconnecting with forgotten passions, or gaining unexpected clarity after releasing the need to control the pace.
This is the beauty of working with energy — it’s not just about timing success, but trusting the rhythm of your life.
Your Breakthrough May Be Closer Than You Think
When everything feels stuck, it’s tempting to assume something is wrong with you. But QMDJ reminds us that we are part of a larger cycle — and sometimes, all that’s needed is a small realignment or perspective shift to restore momentum.
Cliff encourages his clients to stay curious during stuck phases. What is this period asking of you? What is it revealing? What inner upgrade is quietly taking place?
In doing so, you move from frustration to fascination. And that shift alone creates space for energy to flow again.
