Both id and blocking_id refer to the id from information_schema.processlist. This means you can join information_schema.mv_blocked_queries with information_schema.processlist to get more detail about the blocked or blocking process.

Once you know the query or connection responsible for blocking, you can use KILLALL QUERIES or KILL CONNECTION and KILL QUERY to unblock your process.
