Harvesting Potential and Possibility: Thank You to My Expanders
As I reflect on this time of the year around Equinox, I am in awe of the abundance that is all around me. What particularly stands out for me is the abundance of the teachings from the seasons, from those around me, from my internal process, the list goes on. I am steeped in gratitude for my learnings and uncoverings over the last few months. Today I am honoring all of my ‘Expanders’ from this past year-those amazing mirrors that are all around me.
Lacy Phillips, a manifestation expert (https://tobemagnetic.com/), coined the phrase, ‘Expander’, as someone who expands your subconscious mind to believe what is possible. I encourage anyone who is interested in how our subconscious beliefs affect our manifestation process, to check her website out or The Expanded Podcast.
I LOVE the concept of ‘Expanders’ and many other pieces of her work. I have often thought about the people around me as a mirror, but this word takes it to the next level for me as I work with my subconscious and reprogramming my beliefs.
Orienting towards this idea of ‘Expanders’ has been a practice for me this summer, and I am noticing how much magic unfolds when I open my subconscious awareness to potential and possibility ALL THE TIME. Now, every time I see something or someone that has a piece of what I am looking for/longing for/desiring, either in physical form, work related, way of relating, general knowledge and wisdom, health, etc, I am able to orient my brain and my whole organism to see what is possible and sense into the sensations of infinite potential!
I want to take a moment to send gratitude to and honor the amazing Expanders for me over the last few months. I cannot name all of you here, but sending infinite blessings out to those who are in their unfolding mirroring potential and possibility!
Some of you are aware of your impact on me, and others are not. Please know your writing, your work, your light, your words, the way you live your lives, your truth, your communication, your play, your honesty is inspiring. I thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart.
