Today I want to talk about The L.I.F.E. Method as it relates to your desired reality, because that’s what I’ve really been feeling lately… the pull to live within a desired reality that I can’t really see yet.
So what does this mean?
I feel like collectively, multiple things are happening right now. There are a lot of collective shifts at the moment. I’ll talk about three big ones.
The first is that we are moving away from duty and towards desire. The second is that we are shedding a lot of BS. The third is that we are being asked to manifest more consciously.
Let’s go through all of them.
We are moving away from duty and towards desire. This means that we are recalibrating what is aligned for us and what is not. The shoulds, the to dos, the tasks and things and people and situations that are pulling our energy are being put on pause. We’re reconsidering them. Because we notice a difference. We notice a difference in who we are and what we become when we’re doing something out of duty and when we’re doing something out of desire. There’s a clear difference between the person we are in duty and the person we are in desire, and we are choosing desire.
And some of these duties may not be so obvious. For me, I’ve been trying to question myself of what feels like a duty or what takes me out of alignment or what makes me feel like I’m leaking my energy, even just a little bit.
Here’s an example of how this is playing out for me.
I like to function at a level 10 all day every day. It’s how I feel the most aligned. And I need to because I’m a single mom of two young and active boys, and so I need my natural energy to be moving and grooving. When I drink too much caffeine or when I have more than one or two drinks when I’m out socially, it affects me. It affects my sleep more than anything, and I require sleep so that I don’t have to rely on more caffeine. So this is actually something that is a result of a duty over a desire. Socially, I go out and feel obligated to have a few drinks. Or with caffeine, I will grab a Celsius so that I can have the energy for my actual duties like chores and mom life. So what do I do here? I set a boundary for both – I have one drink max when I’m out (because honestly, I do like to have a drink here and there), and I limit my caffeine to one cup of coffee in the morning and one in the afternoon if necessary. I don’t buy Celsius anymore!
I wouldn’t have noticed this if I hadn’t asked myself:
What is happening in my reality that is totally not aligned with my vision for myself?
And this is really where The L.I.F.E. Method helps too. What is the desired Lifestyle, Identity, Feelings and Expression? I realized that I wanted a lifestyle that is energized. I want to be someone who has a natural source of energy within her. I want to feel energized and be able to express myself energetically.
Let’s talk about the second collective shift – that we are shedding a lot of BS.
We are in a 9 year (9 represents completion from a numerology standpoint). We are in the year of the snake (think shedding). And the astrology of this year is pretty insane. We have major planets like Saturn and Neptune moving through the birth canal of the Zodiac, from Pisces into Aries, and actually, most personal planets (like Venus and Mercury) just did that. It’s all symbolic.
But here’s the thing. My definition of manifesting doesn’t require becoming. It requires an unbecoming… a reverse becoming. Where instead of trying to be your best self and fix yourself and heal yourself and be a pure vessel… you unlearn and unravel and shake off everything that was never you. Because I believe that we are all, at our core, love. We are all, at our core, perfect. We are all, at our core, capable of manifesting whatever it is that we desire.
But we’ve gotten so far in our heads about manifesting that we are now efforting to manifest. And it is essentially an effortless process. It has to be. Otherwise, we’re attached to an outcome. There is no surrender. There is no release. There is no falling into place.
Because manifestation isn’t really done in the mind. I mean, it can be, sure, but it can be much simpler than that.
It can be done in our very being – when we are lighter, freer, more integrated, released, surrendered, fully and more deeply. And therefore vibrate higher, have more passion, move like our soul depends on it and finally feel fully aligned to life.
If you’re becoming anything, you’re becoming more of who you already are.
You’re shedding the BS.
You’re getting to the truth of it, to the heart of it, to the essence that is you.
The L.I.F.E. Method can help pull this out of you by defining and deciding on your desires.
Let’s talk about the third collective shift – that we are being asked to manifest more consciously.
I actually didn’t really know how to explain this shift, because while I do believe in manifestation, I feel like it’s very easy to become prey to the manifestation matrix.
What do I mean by this?
I’m talking about setting 5 different alarms on your phone so that you get a notification that you sold something so that you trick yourself into believing you’re making money.
I’m talking about pouring cinnamon in your hand and then blowing it through the front door of your home so that you can bring in more abundance.
I’m talking about all the hundreds of crystals and things that you’re being asked to buy so that you can make manifest something in your life.
Listen, I love crystals. I don’t have a lot, but I do love it when people work with them while they are doing energy work on me. There’s definitely something to be said about crystals. But crystals aren’t necessarily going to build my business themselves.
What I’m saying is, it’s possible to put a lot of pressure on yourself to do these sorts of things and exert a lot of time and effort and money into them and then wonder where your manifestation is when your wish doesn’t come true.
It’s possible to actually do the energetic and practical work that’s required to truly manifest. The Membership that features The Money Methods is about to be released, and I’d love for you to jump on the waitlist to learn more about it.
Here’s one thing you can start working on this from a grounded approach:
Think of an affirmation related to what you’d like to manifest. Say you want to manifest more money in your business so that you can fully support yourself.
So maybe it would look like:
I feel so safe and good supporting myself.
Now feel that. Really feel it.
Now ask yourself:
What’s the support I need in place to feel safe supporting myself?
Maybe it’s systems? Maybe it’s a specific routine? Maybe it’s a backend thing you need to set up?
What is the practical approach to the energetic intention? That’s what you want to ask yourself.
You can even work with The L.I.F.E. Method to help figure this out.
What would be my lifestyle, identity, feelings and expression?
What would I be thinking / doing / creating if this was all happening? If my reality was real? If it was right here, right now?
Here’s something I want you to think about:
What if we reverse engineer what an outcome is…
What if you get to decide on the outcome by being the desired outcome. (In the energy of the outcome)
(AKA literally what The L.I.F.E Method does.)
So that *out comes* your desire.
What would it feel like to have that now?
Who would I be if I had that now?
What would I do if I had that now?
Here are my answers for where I am in my life:
I would have full trust and belief in my soul’s truth, in the bigger vision and in the divine plan.
I would have faith in the divine leading me and providing me with the souls who need me and my work.
I would have absolutely no doubts or fears about my path or my journey.
I would simply be in the energy of so much gratitude for finally having my dreams come true.
I would be overflowing with love for myself and love for the divine, my life, my truth.
I would move like honey, slowly and easily and intentionally through my days, taking it all in and basking in what I’ve co-created with the divine.
I would be more in my feminine, goddess essence, fully surrendered to the knowing that I’ve got this and that God’s got me.
So you may be wondering… Christina, what on earth does this have to do with Soul’d?
Well, as you know, Soul’d involves three areas: your messaging, your marketing and monetization. The L.I.F.E. Method, The S.O.U.L. Method and the L.O.V.E. Methods were all channeled through me in 2020, but the D.E.B.T. and the C.R.E.D.I.T. Method were also channeled a few years later. These methods I’ve termed as The Money Methods.
Now, The Money Methods are being provided within something I’m currently working on and launching soon, called The Membership.
The Membership is a community and space where you get to grow your business in a way that nurtures your soul and activates your capacity to be divinely resourced.
Every month includes 2 live calls with me, one live call with a guest expert for regular nervous system, subconscious work and embodiment support, and weekly practice focuses, where I feature either new practices that I just picked up, or perhaps practices from The Money Methods, or I share an activation that you can use as inspiration.
This is the space where you unravel and unlearn all of the outdated and broken beliefs and ways of being and thinking that have held you in a certain mode. And where you consciously fill yourself up with love, support and guidance so that you are always overflowing. The goal for this membership is to patch up the leaks in your vessel and get you to the point of overflow within yourself so that you can be divinely resourced.
Head to the Get Guidance page of my website to jump on the waitlist to learn more about The Membership.
