Dear alchemist,

The only reason why most people don’t get rapid, quantum shifts in their reality is that they are still under the illusion that doubt = something to react to.

Doubt = you are still trying to get validation from the external world… when that’s not how it works.

Dreams and desires can only be validated internally. Anything from the external validating that desire is just a cherry on top. It’s not the cake.

For example, I worked with a client a few years ago who wanted to move on from an ex. When I spoke with her, she told me that what she truly longed for was to be loved and feel worthy.

But she kept stalking his socials, asking about him with mutual friends, and feeding rumination loops. Rather than focusing on her internal feeling state, and processing how she actually felt, she placed all of that potent energy into the external world.

The universe and your nervous system feel that, and if you feed doubt and mistrust your energy, it will grow.

…it also won’t give you the thing you think you want if it isn’t for your highest good.

1. Get super specific about what you want.

On this journey, you’ll notice that what you truly want isn’t something that you think up. It isn’t something you need to strain your brain for.

It will be a vision or a feeling that comes to you naturally. It is something you receive.

To access your receiving mode, you need to give your mind idle time. This is when your mind is at rest, with nothing to think about, nothing to solve, and is existing in the present moment. You can access this state through:

• Yoga nidra

• Long walks

• Moments in silence and stillness

• More creating, less consuming

When you start to understand what you want, write it down. Get extremely specific. Write out a day in your life as if all of your wildest dreams came true. Pay attention to the feeling states of joy, abundance, stillness, clarity, and keep those at the core of your order-placing.

If you see it in your mind’s eye, that means it’s possible. A version of you already has it. Allow yourself to embody that trust.

2. Don’t resist the doubt… it comes from an old identity.

Any and all of the…

• “When will this work out?”

• “This is unrealistic.”

• “How can this possibly happen?”

• Comparison

• Fearful thoughts

• Rumination on the past or worry about the future

…comes from the ego. The ego is your mental chatter, holding onto an old identity you’ve outgrown.

The ego is constantly judging, narrating, and keeping you from the present moment. Only in the present moment can you find true stillness and a wide-open opportunity to choose a different reality.

Any mental barriers that you perceive are illusions told by the ego, because the only thing separating you from the present moment is the thought that you are separate. Drop all efforts to control your thoughts. When you resist emotions, you are resisting the flow of life. Surrender to the current moment fully, just as it is, without trying to change anything.

Do you notice that shift in your energy? That’s because you are no longer listening to the ego’s need to control.

Each time you notice thoughts of fear and tension arise, label them as coming from an old identity. It’s just the ego. Return to the present, which is infinitely more important, because only in the here and now can you shift your reality.

3. Stop looking for external evidence.

The most unexpected shifts happen the moment you decide to release control, because that is the moment when your old identity no longer controls you.

The how and the when are none of your business. Trust me, I know how hard this is, because the analytical mind formed from past conditioning ALWAYS looks for external evidence.

If you were to try to figure out the how and when… that would be coming from the old analytical, ego mind.

That would mean you are trying to use the ways of your old identity to create your dream identity. Doesn’t make much sense, right?

To create a new reality, you must embody a new identity. If you are acting from a place of fear, resistance, and tension, that is what you will create more of.

But if you, instead:

• Surrender and accept any emotions that arise and return to the breath

• Remind yourself of the power you have in every. single. moment.

• Choose to believe in your vision more than any external circumstance

…there is genuinely no way it doesn’t work out.

Recognize the voice of fear and the ego when it arises. It is just trying to keep you safe and predictable in an old identity. You have the power to rewire your mind into a new reality by placing your focus + your attention elsewhere.
