Expansion
When truth rises to the surface, it changes the terrain inside you.
The old patterns that once kept you safe start to lose their grip, and that can make your system uneasy. You might notice more noise in your mind — doubts, irritation, distraction, the sudden urge to fix or numb what’s shifting. That’s the ego trying to pull you back into what’s familiar.
This isn’t a setback. It’s part of the adjustment.
When your nervous system is used to tension, peace can feel foreign.
When your ego is used to control, clarity can feel like loss.
So what do you do with this?
You hold steady. You support yourself through the wobble.
You remind yourself that discomfort doesn’t always mean danger — sometimes it’s just your system recalibrating to a new frequency of truth.
Practice:
When you notice the pull back into chaos — the self-doubt, overthinking, or need to explain yourself — stop for a moment.
Feel your feet.
Press them gently into the ground or floor beneath you.
Name what’s true right now:
“I’m safe.”
“I’m learning to hold more of myself.”
“I don’t have to rush back to what was.”
Then, give your body something steady — a walk, a stretch, a slow exhale.
Let the energy move instead of spiral.
Staying with yourself through the discomfort is the work.
Awareness without judgment — that is transformation.
