The Energetics of Expansion & Your Nervous System

When we lead with energetics, we cultivate a desired feeling and state of being, and move with that energy towards the direction of our dreams and desires.

In this way of being, the energetics comes first. It is the root of the being, and the vibrational state which informs all physical and non-physical matter and energy in the field.

In other words, your energy shapes your reality. 

You may understand this mentally if you’ve engaged in the works of Dr Jo Dispenza or are a Law of Attraction fan, but are you actually living and leading from this way of being or is it still a mental construct or something you play in from time to time?

Holding the energy of expansion- what's in the way

Our nervous system, is often the main culprit in the way of holding elevated emotions & higher states of consciousness. 

You see, there is a lot of interference; cultural programming, evolutionary biology/ epigenetics/ social conditioning that keeps us bound to states of being that hold us in feelings of fear/ contraction/ scarcity/ smallness etc.

It takes deep commitment, persistence and devotion to walk the path of expansion, and for many of us, it’s a big part of why we are here.

Expansion is when we are able to hold more and higher quality energy in our body as we move through life (without the nervous system freaking out, triggering us, and sending us back into comfortable/ safer states of being).

It is when we see and feel our soul’s greatest desires for our life, feel safe in our body, and move towards them as if they are already happening even when there is no evidence in our physical reality (other than feeling truth), that we truly can manifest anything.

Living in flow- the path of least resistance

You see, when you learn to live within the natural current of life, you will be moved through the exact situations and experiences that are needed for you to heal, grow and expand.

It’s by stepping into the current, and saying yes to the call to move into a bigger expression of your life, business, relationships… that elicits a response from life that holds just the medicine to move into more expansion.

And this “medicine” isn’t always easy to pallet. It’s the triggers, the undesirable circumstances, the fear, the doubt… all of these necessary experiences that are perfectly placed for us to work with and move through.

The nervous system, conditioning & our survival instinct

Supporting our nervous system while we devote ourselves to the path of expansion is key.

Our nervous system is a complex network of nerves, cells, and organs that work together to control and coordinate the functions of the body. It is divided into two main branches: the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for our fight-or-flight response, while the parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for our rest-and-digest response.

You see our subconscious mind, or the sympathetic nervous system, is designed to keep us safe. Survival has been at the core of our sympathetic nervous system for centuries, maybe since the beginning of time. We are literally wired culturally, evolutionarily and epigenetically for survival. We came into this world deeply embedded with this wiring, and many of us are here to show a new way.

To unbind from this fear and bondage, and show a new way forward of pleasure, joy, love, abundance, liberation…

Devotion to desires, and the inner work

But we must do the inner work to get there. And this work requires deep devotion and commitment, because as we expand and push our edges we will continue to bump up against triggers, discomfort and fear. 

Moving through with self-awareness, compassion and curiosity offers us fertile soils to work with what life puts on our path, and alchemize it for our greatest expansion.

Within the container of your deepest yes and soul truth, there is space to do this devotional inner work through every cycle and season of expansion as we learn to hold more energy.

This is the antidote to quitting, giving up and playing small.

Being able to hold the energy of our desires, the elevated emotions and persist and commit even through periods of contraction will allow us the space and courage for expansion.

Understanding our unique nervous system response to expansion whether it's disengaging, scarcity, playing small, giving up and not buying into these patterns. 

And also being completely honest with ourselves without self rejection. When we self reject we are unable to see parts of ourselves which our psyche holds out of view. We can’t fully evolve and expand with these blindspots. Knowing that when we desire something and it’s not in our life, we are in some kind of agreement with the lack of it. What are you unconsciously choosing? Exploring these questions with deep curiosity and compassion.

Nervous system support & practices

It’s clear by now that expanding our energy and capacity to hold great things in this life is more than just mental work.

We need to retrain our nervous systems, uproot deep embedded programming and work within our physical bodies to hold and transmute more energy.

There are many ways and modalities to support with this.

Breathwork for me has been instrumental, especially as someone who carries a lot of mental energy.

Breathwork can help regulate the nervous system and promote relaxation by activating the parasympathetic nervous system. It is a practice that involves conscious breathing techniques to regulate our heart rate, blood pressure, and stress response. By slowing down our breath and focusing on the present moment, we can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes relaxation and healing. 

How SHEVOLVE can support

For visionaries, wayshowers and those who are literally here to anchor in higher consciousness  and liberate humanity, through their soul work and businesses, breathwork is a beautiful ally to support expansion and holding more energy (we do monthly breathwork sessions as part of SHEVOLVE for this exact reason, learn more here).

My newest modality is receiving micro-current frequencies. Using actual energetic currents to reprogram the physical body of matter with quantum information. This is evolutionary technology that is, in mine and many others opinion, the next paradigm of medicine and healing (you can learn more about these devices and frequency healing here). 

When I seeded the vision of SHEVOLVE as a way to help women step out of the spiritual closet, I never imagined what I was signing up for.

The inner journey.

The self-discovery.

The deeper embodiment.

The quantum shifts.

The intuitive upgrades.

The soul connections.

The expansion of dreams and what’s possible. 

It’s absolutely wild.

But when you devote deeply to your soul YES, and move in that direction, the magic that unfolds through your lived experience is completely beyond the realm of predictability. This is where we are all being invited to play.

This is the experience inside SHEVOLVE. Who would have known this was where we were going?
