Let’s clear this up: A shift in perception is not the same as a shift in life trajectory.
This is why the integration of a breakthrough experience can’t rely on talk therapy alone. Talk therapy keeps you in your head, trying to describe something that often defies language.
✨ It doesn’t rewire your nervous system to match the belief.
✨ It doesn’t engage your heart, and the heart is the great integrator.
Because 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 ≠ 𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠.
If you’ve read the books, taken the courses, binged the podcasts, and had more “aha” moments than you can count… but you’re still not changing, this is why.
👉 Because transformation (of behavior, action, and ultimately life trajectory) 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. 𝐈𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.
Here’s what I recommend:
✅ Somatic-based approaches like Compassionate Inquiry, Parts Work, or Somatic Experiencing
✅ A meditation practice that reconnects you to the felt sense of your breakthrough. This could be an open-awareness style of meditation.
If you’ve had an experience where you felt one with the universe, build a regular practice of feeling into that sense of oneness. It’s an illusion to think that you’re separate from it.
✅ At least one outside witness
✨ Ideally, a community of like-minded people who reflect back to you who you are and hold you emotionally.
✨ When possible, the group you journeyed with can be a powerful integration container.
If you want to think, feel, and act differently, to experience a more expansive way of being alive
Remember, this is a process that engages your body, emotions, and spirit. Not just your mind.
