Hello, alchemist!

To all the new folks here: WELCOME! This is a weekly letter for those intentionally releasing fear-based beliefs and old programming and following their soul’s purpose. If you’re on this journey, I want to hear from you! Reply and tell me your story, what you’re working on, or what you're moving through. I read every response. ❤️ 💌 

I posted a reel recently that resonated with a lot of people, and this was the gist:

The 3 - 6 months project. Give yourself 3-6 months of…

1. “Ignoring” your reality: This essentially means don’t outsource all of your emotions and validation to the external world. It’s the practice of not waiting for life to look a certain way before you allow yourself to feel a certain way.

   That’s because who we are and the thought patterns we feed throughout the journey will be the same patterns we carry when we receive the thing. The means and the end are the same; who you are getting there is who you will be when you arrive. That’s because life is just a series of present moments. So, the time to be who you want to be and feel how you want to feel is NOW. Everyone falls off on this sometimes; it’s human, and we’re supposed to have moments of fear, confusion, and shedding. If you realize you’re off… use that as a cue to return to this wide-open present moment and focus on what you can control. Your only job is to know what you want (or at least know how you want to feel), and allow yourself to experience those emotions, having achieved what you want, in the now. It’s a practice.

2. Showing up delusionally to the things you want: This is HUGE. We are physical beings, and we need momentum and movement in the external world. Your highest self is just a set of behaviors that you can practice being. What do they do? What are the thoughts they feed? What are the thoughts they no longer let fly by unconsciously? Start small here and focus on the one-degree turns.

3. REDIRECT. When you notice yourself getting caught up in the noise, getting triggered, getting dysregulated in uncertainty... take that as your cue to REDIRECT. We need to honor our bodies in this process, and the mind will spiral when it is tired! Come back to: what CAN you control? What is in your current present moment? That's all that requires your focus right now, because it's all we have and all we know for certain.

… but! I wanted to add to this for those who want to dive deeper. I hope you enjoy! 💖

🧚‍♀️ The 3 - 6 month project:

Part 1: Start seeing all emotional experiences as data.

They’re not something to fight, nor immediately identify with. They just are. We can’t always control what appears in our consciousness, but we CAN control how we meet it and what we do next.

I’m not here to tell you that if you feel doubt and fear, it means that you need to “work on your confidence” and that you’re doing something wrong…

I’m here to tell you that everyone feels uncomfortable emotions. Everyone feels uncertainty, doubt, and confusion, because we are all here in this human experience together. The duality and contrast are what make life worth living.

The “negative” emotions and thoughts are not the problem. The problem arises when you think something is “wrong” with you for having a very human experience, or that this very human experience is something that needs to be “fixed” or pushed away.

Notice what happens in your body and mind as you read these sentences (and take note if any make your body RELAX and feel free … that is your intuitive “YES!”):

• All emotions and thoughts are just passing waves of energy. We don’t need to solve them; we need to flow with them. The analytical mind is what puts mental labels on emotional experiences, such as “good” and “bad”, but the reality is they just ARE. 

• Is this a mental story that you have tied to a physical sensation? Thoughts and emotions are just electrical signals occurring in the body. It doesn’t make you any less worthy or your dream life any less inevitable. Create space between you and the emotional experience.

• What would happen if you leaned in and surrendered to the present moment, however it arises? These thoughts and emotions are not the enemy, so there is no need to fight them. It’s your nervous system trying to keep you safe because it perceives a threat.

Part 2: Allow yourself to be PLAYFUL in your creation.

As described in the last point, when thoughts and emotions are resisted, it creates fear. Resistance puts so much pressure on the present moment to be anything other than exactly what it is. When we don’t resist and just allow ourselves to be, we are in flow with life. Resistance feeds the thought process of, “my desires and my ability to stay present are conditional.” But they don’t have to be.

There is a way to manifest more consciously: 1) by not being identified and immediately believing every thought that arises, AND 2) tapping into the energy of PLAY.

Children are masters of being in the present moment. That’s because they don’t resist or deny any of their emotional experiences, and they don’t place a mental story on whatever is happening to them. They are naturally drawn to what brings them joy.

The energy of play is so magnetic because I believe it’s our true nature as humans. We are not meant to be rigid, filter ourselves, and identify with the constant narration in the mind. Because that voice in the mind is not who we ARE; it’s just clusters of language that are constantly appearing and disappearing.

As you work towards creating your dream life, allow yourself to have pockets of play. Your joy and play must be prioritized, because without it, you forget that we are just consciousness dressed up as bags of meat on a rock in ever-expanding space. None of this is that serious, and through that lens of playful curiosity, you can be of better service to others in this world, and surrender and lean in when discomfort arises.

Part 3: Create a daily practice of channeling your future self.

I’ve received so many questions about a structure for this process, so I just created a quantum leap breakdown! It is available for pre-order right now before it launches officially on October 13.

Begin by setting boundaries with what drains your energy. With any change in your reality, start small! Taking that first step to generate momentum is the hardest part, and consistency always beats intensity. Focus on the little things, like not apologizing for just taking up space (women… I know you get this one!!), not filtering yourself in conversation, not staying in places where you don’t feel appreciated or respected. As the people who have worked with me know, it starts with the microactions!! 

In my 15-day challenge that just concluded, we did a live call that really resonated with the group where we channeled the future version of ourselves who has a particular problem completely resolved. There were folks on the call saying they had “forgotten they even had this power”, and that the problem felt so small after the practice. That’s because they were able to expand their perspective beyond the hyperfixations of the analytical mind.

We all have the power to do this. Automatic thoughts of fear and anxiety are going to come up. As said in Part 1, they were never the problem! The problem is the automatic response of immediately believing those thoughts to be true, getting caught up in them, and not creating space between yourself and the emotional experience.

As said above: if you’re on this journey, I want to hear from you! Reply and tell me your story, what you’re working on, or what you're moving through. I read every response. ❤️ 💌 

And if you’re seeking structure, integration, and want to dive deeper, the brand-new quantum leap breakdown is available for preorder until it goes live on October 13th.

I am so grateful to be on this journey with you.

Never forget the light you are in this world, and remember to take the time to honor your light and fuel it with joy, play, and even intentional BOREDOM! Even if just for 10 minutes today.

With so, so much love,

Emma
