What's Your Reality Thermostat Set to?

Engaging with your reality like a turtle is not a very useful approach when you’re on the deliberate creation and empowerment track. The turtle approach would have you poke your head out to reach new energy levels, and then turtle back into your familiar “normal” vibration shortly or immediately thereafter. Empowerment and deliberate creation are about continually bringing yourself to access, reside in, and express more energy flow. As the universe around you expands and accelerates, so do you.

If you look out around you in your experience, everything is engaged in a cycle of growth and expansion. More-ness is the impetus and impulse of the Universe. From this lens, what’s normal isn’t what’s familiar. What’s normal is growth, expansion, transformation – a cycle of continual change. Continual growth, continual change, continual expansion is the nature and purpose of consciousness and life in the manifested universe, and so it is your purpose as well.

In your waking experience you are going to keep walking into moments that invite you to step into your more-ness, that call you to catch up to your growth and expansion. Growth and expansion is another way of saying accessing an increased flow of energy and power wherein you begin to operate from constructs that are vibrating at a higher resonance, that are more updated or refined than the ones you were using in your previous cycle of growth. Everything you are experiencing in and as your personal reality is mirroring how much energy you are allowing yourself to access moment to moment. It’s mirroring to you the quality of your reality constructs as they relate to your own being, your relationships, and your world. The only factor at play in your reality is this – energy flow. If every moment was posing a question to you it would be this: are you allowing flow or are you resisting it? All the situations, circumstances, and relationships that show up in your reality do so within the energetic thermostat you’ve set for yourself, the cap you’ve unconsciously or consciously put in place when it comes to the amount of energy flow you are willing to experience in a given moment.

What’s your energetic thermostat set to? If you were to look to put a range of emotions to the settings of your reality thermostat, what would they be – what would be at the bottom to indicate your frequently “low” emotions and what would be at the top to indicate your frequently “highest” emotions? Would it be boredom at the bottom and motivation at the top? Would your range include enthusiasm, appreciative-ness, love, openness, joy, peace, positive momentum because you frequently run these energies in your day to day experience? What’s easy for you to feel and what takes reminders and effort? How familiar and “normal” are the emotions you put at the top of your thermostat?

Familiarity is the security blanket of physical focus. You set up your reality moment to moment so that what’s familiar means what’s safe. You are comfortable in the familiar. The familiar is predictable, reliable, and therefore safe. This applies to your internal environment as much as it does your external. The familiar internal environment is the world of your thoughts and emotions – you keep to the same set of thoughts and emotions that are familiar to you because they indicate a familiar in-flow and out-flow of energy and information through your nervous system. What’s familiar means what is known to you. The known realms of being are easy to navigate, because they are already known. You trust them. You trust the moments that arise within the realm of the familiar and you trust the familiar currents of energy, of thoughts and emotions, that arise within your awareness.

New energetic territories however, new levels of energy are unfamiliar. Physically, mentally, emotionally, on every level of your being when you access more energy you bring all the octaves of your being into new dimensions. If you haven’t done the preparation for your new cycle of growth and expansion, if you haven’t opened and elevated parts of yourself and purged other parts, the newness of the new energetic territory your expansion is bringing you into can be uncomfortable to those parts of your being that like the safety of the familiar, that put their trust in the known. So to keep yourself from feeling that discomfort you turtle back into familiar territories, where your vibration and flow feel “normal”.

What you want to realize for yourself is, if your energy level and your vibration feel normal and familiar, it is only because you have already outgrown them. You live in an ever-expanding framework. There is always more energy, more information, more access opening up from one eye blink to the next. While portions of yourself are spherically expanding faster than the speed of light other portions of yourself are flowing along like a bowling ball rolling uphill.

There are many activities that you can engage in to raise or increase your ability to flow more energy and information. In order for the nervous system to quickly harmonize with new territories of experience, active engagement on your part whether through meditative practices, body work therapies, nutritional changes, or other methods is necessary – frequently, regularly, cyclically. You have to shed, discard, and eliminate the old so that you don’t remain anchored in frameworks, perspectives, and energy levels that you have expanded beyond. You can also ask yourself open ended questions to initialize your emergence onto new levels of experience.

You can meditate or contemplate questions like: if this situation or relationship was a call to expand, what would it be asking me to expand into? What would it be asking me to grow toward? If this event was a call to my growth, what am I being asked to embody, integrate, release? If I were to be accessing more energy and power in this moment and drawing from more elevated reality constructs, what shifts, what adjusts what enters, and what is released? If I were to upgrade my reality constructs to reflect an expanded consciousness, a perspective more refined than the ones I have been using when it comes to myself, my relationships, my world, what flowers into my awareness?

The answers, the guidance, the support will always show up when you’re willing to catch up to your full expansion.
