'Stagnancy' can be utlised as an opportunity to integrate catalyst, acceptance and perform inner work, without external distraction. It can also point towards distorted beliefs (E.g. "I should be able to perform this by now!") which usually lend themselves towards discovering root belief patterns of inadequacy and non acceptance of the self as it is, which provides the foundation for transformation. Ironically, it can serve to accelerate if seen for what it is. From a logical standpoint, I always find it useful to note the status of ones perception a year ago, as opposed to now. I'm always amazed by how far I've come, even though it may not readily appear so on the surface (To put it in perspective I was a staunch religious fundie less than 3 years ago).
Often the feeling can also point towards a lack of grounding and repressing certain aspects which one does not wish to deal with. In such situations people enjoy and revel in the 'idea' of being stagnant because they then do not need to deal with the physical aspect of reality in a complete manner by using the circumstance 'giving rise' to the state of stagnancy as an excuse. I returned back to University to complete my degree after deciding to 'quit' last year. The time allowed me to understand that I was using the idea of rejecting the concept of working, not enjoying education, and being 'in society' not being in tandem with metaphysical values as an excuse to not face reality, and the fear I had harboured surrounding that. The past year it may have appeared as though I was stagnant, however there was alot of ground I broke exploring my inner landscape of the Self. It's quality intimate time I'd probably won't have again through graduating, work and so forth, the opportunity of which is something I am grateful for. I discovered a few hobbies as well.
Now I am back, and am actually enjoying the experience of study in a field which interests me (I always did I guess, but I put off the work/effort required (Lending from belief: "Why should I learn about this, I am a l33t infinite being who can create reality by thoughts! Working for a living, Meh"), exacerbating the fear surrounding potential 'failure' - lending from perfectionist beliefs, which was religious programming (Finding the root cause of beliefs is important)). Further more, through some weird glitch in the system I owe a £1000 less in tuition fees. Some of the assignment deadlines were also pushed back, or somehow reduced in size significantly. There have been many little 'signs' like this where issues surrounding money and such has unexpectedly cropped up in my favour, and it just seems as though everything is being put into place to my benefit.
That's some of my experience. If one is truly stagnant however, then sure it is indicative of moving away from certain situations or belief patterns which do not benefit. Honest discernment is key however, as all too often they're simply crutches and excuses from not looking at what is with you now, which can be addressed when ones mode of perception is shifted (Coming down to beliefs again).
