On my drive home from the grocery store the other day, something unexpected happened.
Out of nowhere, I felt this wave of shame come over me. There wasn’t any obvious reason for it. My shopping trip had suddenly become something entirely different.
And instead of driving straight home, my hands just… turned right onto Highway 26, up the mountain, to my favorite scenic turnoff. I sat at the highest point and watched storms moving through Asheville below, knowing that there was a bit of a metaphor playing out
I‘ve noticed over the years that when I can physically get above the landscape for a while, it somehow helps me rise above the noise of everyday life too. From up there, things almost always become clearer. And this time it was obvious… an old pattern wasn’t coming back because I was doing something wrong. It was simply coming up because it was ready to leave.
As I sat there, I could feel a whole lineage behind it.
A family of engineers who genuinely believed they had to get everything right. My father, my grandfather, my great-grandfather… men who carried enormous pressure. By today’s standards some of that pressure would probably be considered emotionally abusive, but underneath it all I could also feel something deeper. They were incredibly hard on themselves.
And somewhere along the way, I learned that too.
Not as new information. I‘ve seen this pattern before. But this time it felt like I was being invited to meet it from a completely different place… a higher octave.
For instance, lately I had noticed I hold my mouth tight as a physical manifestation of trying to get it right, and keep it all together, instead of just letting the energy pass through. It was as though I wanted to sing or hum, but instead I just held my mouth tight.
So this week, I‘ve been humming. Singing, even, just to let the energy that pattern was holding actually move. As I‘m writing right now, I‘m humming to some music in the background and harmonizing with it.
I’m no longer interested in long winded processes to excavate, because I see by dawning a new habit that exists at a higher octave, I instantaneously reorient myself to the old way of being in a way that transmutes the energy.
And here’s the fun part: I‘m not just displacing the tightness with singing. I‘m displacing habits in my business, and relationships. Instead of gripping, I‘m available. I expect miracles because I choose to. I‘ve consciously chosen to take on the behaviors of a version of me that expects a whole different world of people to be a part of my business, my world, and my love.
Behaving as if I am that person is so much simpler. Do I remember all the time? Nope! But I absolutely do notice that I am living at a different octave, and the conversations I am having with clients and potential collaborators are truly beyond what I expected. Results that are beyond my wildest imagination have happened even in the last 3 days, and I wish that for you.
It starts with knowing that you can just choose to be a new way. And so much of what’s in the way will come up to leave on its own.
So this week, a few things you might try:
- Find your mountaintop. A place (real or imagined) that gives you enough perspective to watch the storm without being in it.
- Speak it or write it, don’t just think it. Out loud, to yourself, into a voice memo, to a friend. You don’t have to analyze it to death. Just let it be heard so it can move through instead of being a lone wolf.
- Notice where you’re holding. Your jaw, your shoulders, your voice. Then hum. Sing. Shake it loose.
This is all coming about because of a practice that I am using. A practice involving a parallel version of myself that already exists, and I keep noticing how that parallel version of myself behaves. It is not visioning, it is not creating her, it is none of those things. This is about tapping into consciousness… you kind of have to experience it.
I‘d love to show you how to do this process like a pro in our monthly Frequency Sessions (see more info below). Changing my life ….especially the speed at which things are manifesting. Holy cow.
With Love,
Jennifer
