If you’ve been following my latest YouTube videos, you’ve likely heard me speak about expansion and contraction. This insight first struck me during a recent event when I felt certain I was encountering a major breakthrough, only to unexpectedly fall back into old fears and familiar patterns. In that moment, I realized I’d been locked in a cycle of rising forward and then collapsing inward.
Now that I see this pattern, I’m committed to honouring contraction, not resisting it, and using it to uncover and shift the underlying beliefs holding me back to remain open and receptive.
Expansion is when your energy, creativity, and confidence flow freely and when you feel aligned with your purpose and forward momentum is clear.
Contraction is when fear, doubt, or old stories resurface, closing your energy field inward, and when the mind becomes cautious or reactive.
In this episode, I share my story in detail of how I began to notice the subtle signs of expansion and contraction, what triggered the emotional withdrawal, and the exact steps I now take to support myself through the process. We explore how to bring deeper awareness to your own cycles and gently begin to restore balance, trust, and harmony.
