Today’s post is inspired by a recent experience I had of what I call ‘threshold shifting’. Experiences that demonstrate beautifully the connection between energy and the physical.
I was standing at a bus stop the other week just observing my environment and people around me, and suddenly felt an immediate shift in my energy – very reminiscent of an out of body experience.
I was no longer just observing the people around me but sharing a consciousness, feeling for a second how it was to be in their shoes quite viscerally.
Years back I may have leaned into this experience in an imbalanced way and came out of myself completely, but I brought awareness to my feet and remembered where I was grounded.
I felt this oneness energy flow through the body for a minute or so before I was back to ‘normal’.
These sorts of experiences take what we know to be true intellectually (we are all one) into direct experience.
We experience these vibe shifts when we take in spiritual information and then ask ourselves, does this resonate deeply? What qualities can I bring forth to actually match this teaching?
As I’ve discussed in many previous emails, a lot of the energy work I used to do brought me out of body. I would aim for lucid dreams, astral projection, third eye visions etc.
I would often get them, but over time this led me to be very disconnected from my own body. My discernment was messed up too because I could never quite pinpoint where an energy was coming from, even if I was receiving a lot of it.
Getting very grounded and embodied means that we receive ‘less spiritual experiences’ in terms of what our mind or ego perceives as such. Our progress can grow slower…but it will be more fruitful.
Slowness in our reality is so often the blessing we have asked for without realizing it.
It’s not about reaching a goal outside of yourself directly, it’s about shifting your identity. To be able to hold a blessing not just receive it.
So often when manifesting we receive exact what we asked for, just for it to be taken away just as quickly. Because we haven’t embodied an identity of having that thing organically; we cannot hold that energy in the body.
If there is a goal or energy you are looking to have, just ask yourself now what are you holding right in this moment?
What sensations are coming up where you are seated?
If you are looking to embody new sensations, a new identity, ask yourself everyday gently ‘How can I bring this in now?’
You may not be able to embody something completely and that’s ok! Bring in the aspect of that identity that feels the most resonant, that you feel most capable of taking action towards too.

Hey there, I’m Ashley. I hope that by sharing my experiences with deepening my intuition, I can help you find that ‘spark’. That magic we can all experience when our energy is aligned and we feel deeply supported by the Universe.
