For awhile, I’ve been trying to figure out the best way to summarize the transformation that has taken place within my inner world.
Because there’s definitely something going on in there.
At first, I called it “the new version of me – the version of me who wins.” And it’s pretty on point. I’ve gotten to a place where I’m no longer in a losing battle against myself and the world.
But it’s still not fully explaining what this is… what this lifestyle, identity, feelings and expression truly represent.
Until it hit me…
Imagine you have two versions of yourself to choose from: The contracted version of yourself and the expansive version of yourself.
The contracted version of you is moving from outdated pain, patterns and programming that keeps you stuck, stagnant and in survival mode. It’s the version that manifests the struggle and strife in your current reality.
The expansive version of you moves in truth and on purpose… with precision, with a knowing, and with enthusiasm, because this version of you is rooted in love – a true, unconditional, infinite form of it. It’s the version that manifests your desired reality – what you actually want to experience.
How do we get attuned to the version we want, which is the most expansive version of ourselves?
This week, I’m going to dive into the four main beliefs I had to fully embrace in order to make this inner transformation happen… to make me the version I am today – my most expansive version.
Because truthfully, that is the greatest version of you.
Number 1: The shed is required.
This is where we are releasing old pain, patterns and programming from our minds, body and spirit so that we can shed what isn’t us. The more you shed, the more authentic you become. This isn’t about adding anything to who you are. It’s about shedding everything that you are not. That’s how you become authentic. Your essence is already there; you just need to remove everything that’s covering it up. The more that you can radiate more of your essence, the more that you will receive more of what is truly aligned to you.
I’ve mentioned previously that The Manifesting Methods are the way that I was able to do this work – the inner work of changing my outer world. I channeled these methods – The D.E.B.I.T. Method, The C.R.E.D.I.T. Method and The R.O.S.E. Method – to get myself out of survival mode, but to also align more authentically to who I am and the version of myself that I desperately wanted to become.
The first method – The D.E.B.I.T. Method – is the method that really takes on the shedding piece. It allows you to look at things – all of the things that drain you, that cause you to leak, that hold you back. The C.R.E.D.I.T. Method helps you pour back into yourself – by determining what most enables you to feel good, to enjoy life and to receive. These methods essentially help you balance the act of giving and receiving of your own energy so that you can be in balance with that energy in your material world. And finally, The R.O.S.E. Method helps you expand more of yourself so that you can be in the state of “overflow,” meaning having more and holding more in your field, in the pool of overflow.

Number 2: You must become incredibly aware of the contracted version of you – the version of you that holds you back, and you know when it’s calling the shots.
The contracted version of me loves to fight to stay stuck. The contracted version of me loves to put someone else in the driver seat so that she doesn’t have to do much. The contracted version of me loves to believe that she can’t do it, that she’ll never figure it out, that what she’s currently doing is enough (even if it feels like spinning her wheels or doing more of what’s not working). The contracted version of me moves from fear, lack and scarcity. The contracted version of me struggles to understand her value and her worth. She struggles with codependency and regulating herself. She gets angry and doesn’t know what to do with it. She performs in order to be accepted. And, she believes that pushing and forcing her way through life is the right way for her to move.
The biggest problem with the current manifestation matrix is that it just gives you more to do, more to add-on to yourself but you’re still operating from the contracted version of you… with a version of you that is somewhat like the one I’m describing here. Manifesting in this way may work in the short term, but it won’t last, because you’re still you. You’re still letting the contracted version of you lead your life.
You need to release the contracted version of you so that the new version of you can come through. There’s an expansive version of you that moves on purpose, with precision, with enthusiasm and with an internal knowing that is fueled by self-love. The most expansive version of you is rooted in love – a healthy, unconditional, infinite form of it. Because you understand healthy, unconditional and infinite love – because you know what is it and what it is not – you set yourself up to become a match to it. You set yourself up to become more true as a result of it.
The new version doesn’t need the add-ons; it’s already wired correctly. You don’t have to be joyful all the time when you’re already the most authentic version of you. The antenna is already attuned. You don’t need to be happy all the time in order to have a high vibration. The channel is already dialed up. But first you need to get there. You need to allow the inner transformation to happen in order for the outer transformation to happen.
Number 3: You’ve got a stronger awareness around your baseline frequency, meaning the ultimate truths you believe about yourself.
Are you in a losing game against yourself and the world? Or are you winning? What do you believe to be true about yourself, your life and the way that life interacts with you? What do you believe is possible for yourself? These questions will tell you a lot about your current state of freedom. That’s what you want to measure at all times – how free are you from the pain, patterns and programming of the world? Because truthfully, when you are truly free, that means you are free from everything outside of your essence that is supposed to make you worthy and valuable. It’s the greatest lie of all time. It’s time to believe something else.
You can only see bigger and better opportunities when your baseline frequency is in a place where it’s possible to see such things. For example, if one person experiences moodiness, irritability, and frustration within themselves most of the time, and another person experiences excitement, compassion and joy within themselves most of the time, what possibilities do you think are going to be available to the first person versus the latter? The first person obviously dwells in a victim mentality and probably blames others and his circumstances for their problems. They are probably even destructive towards themselves and others. The second person obviously dwells in a growth mindset and probably sees obstacles and challenges as opportunities for growth. They probably believe that everything that happens to them also happens for them, and that it’s always for their highest good. Just by knowing this, you can probably imagine the distinct difference within their lives. The truth is, they could even be living in the same home and have completely different realities.
When you get closer to your essence, the ultimate truths you believe about yourself change. You see yourself more clearly because you’re removing everything you’ve been taught and conditioned to believe about yourself. During this excavation process, you’re becoming lighter because you’re removing so much heaviness. You’re becoming freer and therefore more of you is shining. You’re transmuting things. You’re clearing things. You’re alchemizing things. But you’re also pouring more of you into yourself. You’re filling yourself with more love, specifically healthy, unconditional love.
Number 4: You become better acquainted entirely with your essence – your true self – and live in the frequency and energy of it.
Your highest frequency is your most authentic self. And let me tell you something about your authentic self – it’s not about good and bad; it’s about free. How free are you from the BS of this world that makes your worth dependent on anything but your heart?
The more that you can radiate more of your essence, the more that you will receive more of what is truly aligned to you. Think of yourself as a beautiful light. As you shed all of the murky, fuzzy, hazy, dull, cloudy, shadowy parts of you, the more you will shine. Doing this work of shedding (which is more often than not becoming more conscious of yourself and alchemizing for the purposes of transmutation) is quite literally the equivalent of releasing the contracted version of you and allowing a more authentic and therefore more expansive version to lead your life. That version of you is your true essence.
