The Universe Mirrors Your Energy, Not Your Effort
594 Plays8 days ago
HELLO MY SMILIES!
In this episode, I’m diving deep into a concept that has completely shifted the way I manifest ~ the Universe doesn’t respond to how hard you hustle ~ it responds to your energy.
We’re exploring the powerful difference between aligned energy and forceful effort, and why slowing down, softening, and tuning in might actually move you forward faster than pushing ever could.
💫 I share some personal stories of when I thought I needed to be in full hustle mode (however couldn't), and how things shifted the moment I trusted, aligned, and let go of the need to control.
Anddddd, I share a little secret that you as my podcast listeners are the first to know about!
If you love learning the why behind manifestation, we go there too:
🧠 The Science Behind Manifestation
• Neuroscience and the Reticular Activating System – how your brain filters reality based on what you focus on
• Neuroplasticity – how your thoughts literally rewire your brain to support your desires
• Quantum Physics – how everything is energy, and how you can shift your personal energy field to align with what you want
If you’re ready to stop over-efforting, reconnect to your own magnetism, and manifest from a place of ease ~ this one’s for you.
✨ Let’s do less and attract more.

Self-development, manifestation, self-love and more, it's time to trust the process more than ever before.
00:00:19
Speaker
Welcome to Pass Around the Smile, the podcast. I'm your host, Cleo Massey, and I am so glad you're here. Let the magic begin.
The Power of Energy vs. Effort
00:00:30
Speaker
god Hello, my smileys. Welcome back to the Pass Around the Smile podcast. Here we are, another episode. I didn't wanna record this today. i am going to be honest with you guys, as I always am.
00:00:46
Speaker
I just couldn't be bothered. Sheer laziness got the best of me today and i was just like, I don't want to do it. You know, coming up with the topic, drawing on the last couple of weeks of personal things that have happened to me, being vulnerable, planning out the episode, printing the notes, getting the camera ready, the microphone ready.
00:01:05
Speaker
My editor is away at the moment, which means I have to edit it myself. And I was so focused on the sheer effort that this would take to do the podcast that I was talking myself out of it.
00:01:17
Speaker
Now, I encourage my community all the time that if something feels forced to absolutely take a step back and not do it. Forceful energy is not the energy that we want to be embodying.
00:01:31
Speaker
However, for me in, in this case, it was, i was just being lazy. And what encouraged me to actually do this podcast episode in the end was a quote that my mom shared on her Instagram story.
00:01:46
Speaker
Gabby Bernstein shared it and it said, the universe mirrors your energy, not your effort. And I had a bit of light bulb moment because I was like, I was so focused on the effort, the effort it was going to take me to do this.
00:02:02
Speaker
But the universe responds to energy, not effort. And I do stand by what I said. if they If you are at a point in your life where you are flogging a dead horse, where you are trying to hustle and grind and be so damn productive, but your mind is you know feeling empty or foggy, your body is kind of giving up on you, you need a break from exercise or work or socializing,
00:02:28
Speaker
and your body and your mind and your soul is telling yourself that, then yes, rest can be very productive. Sometimes you do need to take take a step back. I love the card that I actually pull quite a lot from my positive guidance deck, which is stop, rest and reassess.
00:02:43
Speaker
That could be the best thing for you right now. and it could change how your whole day, your week, your month goes. If you listen to that and you stop. But in my case, it was like, no, Cleo,
00:02:57
Speaker
You need to do this, but you need to change the way you show up. So what I decided was i was going to do this podcast episode. i will create it off the quote that my mom shared and we'll talk about how your energy has the power to attract whatever it is that you are desiring just like that.
00:03:21
Speaker
You know the people that seem to manifest really easily where you're not judging or you're not jealous, but you kind of look at them and you're like, it kind of seems to be landing on your lap.
00:03:36
Speaker
And I've actually had people say this to me before. And it's really hurt my feelings um where people have said, things just seem to work out for you. Things just seem to land on your lap.
00:03:49
Speaker
Things just seem to happen. You are so lucky. And I've said it on my podcast before, but for me, that actually really upsets me. So I definitely don't encourage you to ever say that to anyone because everyone works hard in their own way to get what it is that they want.
00:04:08
Speaker
However, the lesson here is the people that we perceive to have everything, to get everything easily, to seem to be, to seem to be, so who seem to be, you know, going on beautiful holidays, manifesting beautiful job after beautiful job, ah connecting with incredible high profile people, ah whatever it is that you are seeing, observing other people getting easily, it is because their energy is attracting it.
00:04:37
Speaker
And you might be looking at them going, but they don't seem to be working very hard. They don't seem to be putting in much effort. And that is exactly the key. You don't have to.
00:04:48
Speaker
One of my favorite quotes, and it will be my favorite quote probably forever, is we can do less and attract more. It's not really a quote. It's just like a lesson to live by. The exciting thing about all of this is it's not woo-woo. It's not magic. It's not too good to be true. There is so much science that backs energetics and what your energy can bring into your physical reality.
00:05:15
Speaker
by, you know, focusing on something, aligning your energy with that thing. Like it's it's really incredible. And we are actually going to delve into the science a little bit in this episode.
00:05:27
Speaker
um But with this episode too, i realized that I don't have to put in the amount of effort that I usually do because today, for whatever reason, even if it is just laziness,
00:05:41
Speaker
That is too much for me. I can still show up because it wasn't one of those situations where I needed to just go, no, not today. I'm going to go rest. I'm fine to do this. But what I realize is that my energy, how my energy is today is actually enough. And i am certain that my listeners, that my community will resonate with something that I say or all of what I say, and you will connect with my energy as I'm showing up today.
00:06:09
Speaker
I'm better to record a shorter podcast than none at all. And I hope that you guys can feel and appreciate and resonate with my energy today and what I'm saying. And if you do, please leave a comment because I love it. I love it. You can leave comments on Spotify. You can write on Apple podcasts.
New T-Shirt Announcement
00:06:26
Speaker
It really, really helps me.
00:06:28
Speaker
So before we get right into the episode, i want to tell you guys a little secret. You are the first to know. i haven't put it on Instagram. I haven't emailed it out. I haven't put it on Facebook, even in the community.
00:06:40
Speaker
My podcast listeners, you guys are the first to know something I've been working on, something that so many of you have been asking me to do for so long because they sold out really quickly.
00:06:52
Speaker
I have made new t-shirts and new 90s and they are getting printed right now around the corner from my house, made locally.
00:07:02
Speaker
i have put so much time into finding the right cut of a t-shirt. You know how t-shirts, they just need a fit, right? You want them to be that little bit oversized, but not too long that they're going to cover your bike shorts or your denim shorts or whatever you're wearing will be too long when you're wearing tights or flares.
00:07:21
Speaker
You need them to be the right length, but you need them to be a little bit boxy. You need them to be a little bit wide. And then you don't want them to be too thin because we're washing shirts all the time. You want them to be good material, good quality,
00:07:35
Speaker
A little thicker, but not too thick because it's kind of hot sometimes. Depends where you are in the world. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is I have put so much effort into finding the right fit of tea and I'm really, really happy with them. And I'm so excited to show you guys the designs.
00:07:52
Speaker
I wear my Good Vibrations tea and my 70s tea, the teas that I came out with ages ago, to absolute death like there is a a week doesn't go by where I haven't worn both of them and my nighty so I was having a chat with my girlfriends right and they were all like can you please make some new tees and some new nighties especially because like we've worn them so much and like we need new ones blah blah blah and they said and can you please make matching for like our daughters and I was like well well well
00:08:23
Speaker
Well, well, well, I have a daughter now, don't I? And i really like to dress her cute. Do I want some more teas for myself at the moment? Because I can never find ones that I love. Yes.
00:08:34
Speaker
So I'll create myself some and then I might create my daughter some as well. And then I may as well order a few more for my community. So yes, there are teas for you and there are teas for your daughter, your niece, your little sister, your ah the little loves in your life, whoever they may be, you can wear matching and they will be coming out soon. But you guys are the first to know.
00:08:57
Speaker
And the sign, right? So I was driving home from this girl's catch up and I was like, oh, I kind of promised myself I wouldn't make any big purchases because it's like a bit of a weird time in business at the moment. I didn't want to spend any more money.
00:09:09
Speaker
But I was like, universe, send me a sign. If I'm meant to do new t-shirts and new nighties, send me a sign, make it really, really clear. i know I want some for myself, but is it a bit silly to just, you know, to make a whole range of new tees and nighties just because I want some for myself and some of my friends want them?
00:09:26
Speaker
Send me a sign. Anyway, the very next night I go out to get the washing off the line and my purple lunar dreaming nightie that so many of you have and love, and I know because you have told me,
00:09:39
Speaker
has the biggest bat poo from the top of the back all the way down to the bottom of the back. And I was like, oh, that's gross. Like, whatever. It'll wash out. No. Bat poo apparently does not wash out. I could crack the nightie in half. And if you are a Bridesmaids fan, the movie, you know the quote I'm referring to now. Not in the same way that they refer to it. But I could crack that nightie in half.
00:10:07
Speaker
But it was bat poo. ah So I washed it and I washed it and I scrubbed it and it literally like it's so hard it won't come off. So there was my sign. I no longer have a pass around the smile nightie at all. I was so sad to like, cause I wanted to keep that forever.
00:10:22
Speaker
But anyway, people watch out. They are coming and I'm so excited for you to see them. They're so cute and they're going to be, they're very limited. Like I didn't order many. So if you want them, you're going to have to keep posted and get on board right away.
00:10:36
Speaker
But let's get into this
Society's Pressure on Productivity
00:10:37
Speaker
episode. So I want to start with this. Effort is not your power, your energy is We get sucked in by social media, by society who says, go, go, go, hustle, girl boss, be productive every day, work hard, exercise, be social, do your meditations, eat healthy, or do all the things basically. And what it does, it creates so much pressure and it gets us stuck in this cycle and this wheel of go, go, go.
00:11:09
Speaker
But we do not have to force. We do not have to push. And what happens when we allow, when we go with the flow, when we surrender, when we trust the process, we actually do all those things without even trying.
00:11:22
Speaker
And we put our energy to the things that mean the most to us, that are in alignment with our values and beliefs, naturally without even thinking, because we are just...
00:11:33
Speaker
taking it as it comes. One week you might feel like being really social. So you see this friend and that friend. And then the next week you might be all socialed out and it just feels normal and right to just say in a text, sorry, don't have the capacity right now.
00:11:48
Speaker
I'll message you next week. And it feels normal and nice. And the reason why you are able to do that is because you are listening to yourself. You're You are in alignment with what you need in that moment.
00:12:00
Speaker
And you are trusting that your decisions are backed with the right energy and intention for you in that moment. When we go against what our body, our mind, our soul is saying, and we're catching up with that friend because we feel like we have to and we don't want to disappoint them. We're working extra late every night this week because we really want to impress our boss.
00:12:25
Speaker
ah We are... not charging enough for our worth because we really desperately want the job. These are all telltale signs that you are not in ah in alignment and your self-worth is suffering as a result.
00:12:38
Speaker
When your self-worth is suffering as a result, your energy is not only out of alignment, but you are vibrating low When our energy is vibrating low, we make decisions that aren't in alignment with what we want, with our dreams, with our desires.
00:12:55
Speaker
We act out of desperation and fear instead of flow and trust and faith. Our trust and our faith has to be stronger than our fears and our confusion.
00:13:09
Speaker
The exciting thing is, is we can change. Acknowledge our fears, let them go and move on Leaning into the trust and the faith that we are supported and guided by ourselves because we are powerful, but also by our higher powers. So whoever or whatever you believe in.
00:13:27
Speaker
So you do not have to sit at a high vibration all of the time. And we don't have to give in to what society says, as I mentioned before. We don't have to be go, go, go, grabbing for the next big thing, the next big thing, comparing ourselves on social media, diminishing our own successes because we open social media or we watch the news and we see what other people are achieving. And all of a sudden, because they achieved that, our achievements feel so small and so insignificant.
00:13:56
Speaker
No, we don't have to give in to that because all we need to do is focus on our own path, stay in our own lane and not look next to us, allowing that energy to diminish.
00:14:12
Speaker
But what I wanted to say is like, what comes with all of that pressure is this pressure to be a hundred percent positive all of the time. And if you are a Pass Around the Smile community member, you know that I'm a big advocate for allowing yourself to cry, to be angry, to go through what you need to go through.
00:14:31
Speaker
We can't be 100% positive all the time. And we can't allow that pressure to sit on our shoulders constantly To be happy, to be the friend that's always there, to be the co-worker who is helpful to everyone and the best for, you know, you know in the boss's eyes.
00:14:52
Speaker
We cannot always be that person and no one else is expecting you to be that person. It's you putting the pressure on yourself. In turn, your energy is low.
00:15:04
Speaker
You are giving too much energy out because It's coming out as effort. Your energy is turning into effort because it's forced. You're controlling where your energy is going because you think I should do this, I should do that because that's what is expected of me.
00:15:21
Speaker
Yes, we cannot be vibrating super high all the time and that is absolutely okay. But let's talk about energy versus effort because I think that's where we kind of get a little bit lost sometimes where we think we have to put so much effort into something like me today with this this podcast. i was like, it's just going to take so much effort. I have to put so much effort into making this good so my people like it.
00:15:46
Speaker
Whereas... What I should have done is just trust that my energy is enough. I don't need to put in effort when my energy is aligned. You can still feel low, be resting and manifest because it's about the belief and the energy behind what it is that you want.
00:16:07
Speaker
That's what it's about. You can still be a powerful attractor, even in stillness. There's a difference between vibrating really low and being still.
00:16:18
Speaker
Because being still is actually a beautiful, peaceful state to be in. Just because you aren't moving forward right now doesn't mean that you are vibrating low. When you are vibrating low, it's very obvious. You feel down. You are stuck in comparison. You are judging yourself. You're judging others you are feeling jealous you ah might have physical symptoms like anxiety or feeling sick in your tummy or tension headaches.
00:16:43
Speaker
That's when you're vibrating really, really low. And that's when you do need to make an effort to get out of that vibration so you can raise yourself back up. Again, there's no pressure to go from zero to a hundred. Just raise yourself a little bit by a little bit. By the way, guys, it's pouring outside. i don't know if you can hear it in the microphone. Hopefully you can't.
00:17:01
Speaker
So let's talk about the difference between energy and effort because I think that's where it gets a little bit murky and a little bit confusing. energy feels magnetic, effort feels forceful.
00:17:14
Speaker
That's how you can tell the difference. And that's how you will know if when you are manifesting, if it is in alignment with your values and beliefs, and if it is something that is actually meant for you, or is it something that you're kind of asking or working toward because society says that you should, or because you just feel like, oh that person expects it of me, so I'll do it or whatever.
00:17:37
Speaker
This really helps you kind of differentiate the two. So energy versus effort. Energy feels magnetic, effort feels forced. Not every single thing that I talk about when it comes to the steps in the law of attraction, like energy,
00:17:53
Speaker
Surrendering, asking in the right way, journaling, meditating, you know the um all the different laws like the law of assumption and the law of divine oneness, they don't all have to work. You don't have to do them all to attract what it is that you want to attract.
00:18:09
Speaker
It's not a game. The universe isn't waiting for you to fail or to do everything particularly perfectly right. The universe is made up of energy.
00:18:20
Speaker
At the end of the day, energy creates energy. That's all there is to it. So yes, you can be feeling low and still manifest. Of course, it's going to be benefit you more if you are vibrating at a high level, but I don't want you to feel disheartened when you are feeling low.
00:18:38
Speaker
But where's your energy? So let's say if you're feeling low because you're sick, that doesn't mean that you're not going to manifest, let's say the dream house that you're in the process of putting an offer in on.
00:18:51
Speaker
Not at all. Because your energy may completely believe that that house is yours. You can see your family in it. You have the strongest belief that, you know, that your offer is going to get accepted
Personal Experiences with Energy Alignment
00:19:04
Speaker
and you're going to move in. Then great. Amazing.
00:19:06
Speaker
Your energy is magnetic. You don't need, if you're sick, in this example, to put in effort because your energy will overtake that effort. The energy is magnetic, the effort is forceful.
00:19:18
Speaker
Doing anything that feels forceful doesn't allow you to surrender. I've chatted about this quite a few times, but when I was pregnant and I was really sick, I was so stressed about my business. I thought my business was doomed. I thought pass around the smile was going to be no longer because I was too sick to work.
00:19:37
Speaker
And for a couple of weeks, that was my reality. My energy was so low. My energy was stuck in lack and in fear. And I was thinking about all of the things that could go wrong, all of the things that were going to tumble down because I couldn't work in the business.
00:19:54
Speaker
When I realized two weeks later that that was essentially coming true because that was my belief, I knew I had to make a change. But I knew the change couldn't be in my effort because I was too sick to put in any effort.
00:20:08
Speaker
So what I did is I changed my energy and my belief. And when I tell you the next three months in my business was the best three months maybe I've ever had in my business, I am not lying.
00:20:19
Speaker
I laid on the couch for like three months and I had the best three months in my business because I believed that my business, that my previous hard work, that pass around the smile was going to carry on because it's magic, because it's what I'm meant to do, because it is so aligned and off it went and off it did.
00:20:39
Speaker
Do less, attract more. We can do it. As I talked about before, those people that you see that seem to effortlessly attract things, again, we don't want to assume that those people aren't working hard for what it is that they want, but it's very probable that their energy is just infectious and they are working on their energy through meditation, through healing themselves, through putting themselves first, working on themselves on their self-worth.
00:21:07
Speaker
And this is when your energy will just start to flow and attract the things that you are wanting to attract. You can be a powerful creator, even in stillness, even when you're resting.
00:21:19
Speaker
Sometimes when we are forcing ourselves to be productive and we're getting stuck in that wheel of go, go, go the productivity can actually be counterproductive.
00:21:31
Speaker
productive. If you are in this space at the moment where you're feeling a little bit stuck, where you're lacking clarity, where you feel like you're trying, but nothing's really happening, nothing's flowing, then honestly, like you need to do your card spreads. You need to journal, you need to meditate, you need to put in the work for yourself first and foremost.
00:21:54
Speaker
And When I had like a really tough few years with acting and with my life purpose and I was just so stagnant and I was trying to manifest and I was forcing and I was pushing, but then I would realize I was forcing and pushing and I knew that that wasn't the right thing to do. But how do you not force and push when you don't know what it is that you need to be doing to get yourself to a point of I am where I'm meant to be if you don't know where you're meant to be?
00:22:22
Speaker
It's self-development. It's self-reflection. You have the answers already, which is really exciting. When I finally tuned in through doing my card readings, asking my cards the specific questions like, is this person, you know, right for me to chat to about my business? that You can get specific with your cards. And when I'm talking about cards, if you guys didn't know, I create my own Oracle cards. I have three decks for adults, one deck for kids, but the adult decks are what I'm talking about now.
00:22:51
Speaker
I'll do three card spreads. So I'll use all the decks. And yeah, like I was asking specific questions like, is this situation right for me? Or why am I feeling so blocked about this particular situation?
00:23:03
Speaker
And the answers that you get are just like, they're just mind blowing. And then I would take to my journal. I would use my journal prompts and I'd be like, why am I feeling this way? Why am I feeling resentful?
00:23:14
Speaker
You might not think that the fact that you are feeling resentful towards someone or something that happened in the past has anything to do with you moving forward with your goals, achieving your manifestations, but of course it does.
00:23:28
Speaker
Anything that you're holding on any negativity, any limiting belief, any fear, anything will stop you from living a life in alignment because you can't live in alignment when you are not connected to your truth.
00:23:44
Speaker
To connect to your truth... You can do your card readings, your journaling, your meditations. And I have created all these tools to help you do that. I have meditations you can download.
00:23:54
Speaker
You can find free ones on the podcast. You can find my albums on my website, my cards, my journals. They're all there for you. And this isn't a plug. This is me genuinely saying, like, this is what I did.
00:24:06
Speaker
to find my purpose, to finally live a life where I was genuinely happy and living my dreams rather than constantly forcing and controlling and living a life through like clouded eyes because fear and my limiting beliefs were holding me back.
00:24:21
Speaker
We are magnetic when we choose to trust. That's the thing. If we... ah feeling good, if we are vibrating high, we can trust that we are good enough. We can trust that we're the right person for that job, that we are the best person for this relationship or this friendship.
00:24:37
Speaker
Whatever it is that you are wanting to manifest, it has to come from a place of trust. That trust comes into your energy, your overall energy that is going to guide you through.
00:24:48
Speaker
Energy is everything. And when you are feeling like it's all too much, it's all too hard that you have to work for years to get your goal or this project that you're going to do is going to take so much effort, remind yourself that the universe mirrors your energy, not your effort.
00:25:05
Speaker
now that I'm a perfect example right now of what I'm doing. This right now feels like no effort. This is easy. This is fun. I'm enjoying myself.
00:25:17
Speaker
Of course, I'm having little limiting beliefs that come in here like, oh are they going to be following what I'm saying? Am I making any sense? Is this good enough? Because I was struggling to believe that I was like good enough or had enough energy to do this podcast.
00:25:31
Speaker
Because I'm human. So it's okay to have these little negative thoughts and fears and limiting beliefs that come in. But overall, I'm doing it. I'm having fun. I'm trusting the process. And I know that my energy will help hopefully all of you that are listening to this right now.
00:25:49
Speaker
because my energy is far more powerful than my effort. And I am putting less effort into this than other episodes. I'll be honest, my my intuition isn't completely switched on today.
00:26:00
Speaker
i kind of wrote some notes that are all messy. So my head's feeling a little bit messy. This may be shorter than other podcasts. And I'm actually going to end this podcast by reading actual research.
00:26:11
Speaker
Not research that I have like thought about and then I'm putting in my own words. No, I'm literally going to read you guys some research because right now I ah said before I'm feeling lazy. Okay. And and My energy though, in finding this research and being so passionate about this research that I found and that I'm going to read to you, I'm going to trust that you guys are still going to get so much out of it out of that.
00:26:35
Speaker
So please, I hope that this is a lesson in itself, like that I showed up today and I hope that you can feel, and please again, let me know, let me know if I'm making this up in my head, but did you feel off of my energy and still enjoy this podcast episode?
00:26:50
Speaker
Awkward if you didn't. Um, but I feel like you would have. And then that shows me that it's not about how much effort I put in.
00:27:01
Speaker
My energy will take over that for me and flow for me. Just like when I was pregnant, I had to trust that all my previous work was going to flow over effortlessly and help the future version of me.
00:27:13
Speaker
All right. So what I'm wanting to do is I'm wanting to read this research that um kind of talks about the science behind energy. And I just think that this is really important to talk about because often all of this stuff can seem very woo-woo, too good to be true.
00:27:30
Speaker
And as I said, I'm a little bit all over the place today. So i think that this will really tie in everything and just reignite our faith that our minds, our brains are so powerful.
00:27:43
Speaker
And we have the choice to harness this now because utilizing our energy to manifest what it is that we want to manifest. Our energy is so strong. You are so powerful guys. I hope you know how powerful you are. And honestly, my words right now are helping me at the moment because I've been a little bit stuck with manifesting lately, but for a good reason.
00:28:05
Speaker
I've actually been stuck with manifesting lately because I'm so happy where I am. However, there is still things, some big things that I'm wanting to manifest within Pass Around the Smile, right?
00:28:18
Speaker
But I'm not manifesting them because I'm just going to be honest. I feel a little bit greedy manifesting more when I feel so happy and thankful to be where I am right now.
00:28:32
Speaker
So that's why I went back the other day and re-listened to my episode, which was the balance between wanting more and being happy where you are.
Balancing Desire for Growth
00:28:40
Speaker
Because I'm so happy where I am, right?
00:28:43
Speaker
But I also do want more. But at the moment, I'm feeling guilty and greedy for wanting more because I have it in my mind so good right now. And I don't want me ah striving for more to take me away from the present moment of where I am right now.
00:29:00
Speaker
However, what that is resulting in is a little bit like and some issues around self-worth because I guess I'm not feeling worth having even more than I have right now where it's like I'll look at other people and they have, you know, a lot more, say, wealth or success in their business and a beautiful family life.
00:29:19
Speaker
So why can't I? But these are all just lessons. We might need to go into that more. Let me know if you like that topic or you want to hear more because we could delve into that. um But yeah, that's where I'm at at the moment. So these kind of facts around the science behind manifestation and energy over effort is actually really helping me because I need to remember that like all I need to do is align my energy to what it is that I want. I don't have to take time away from my family. i don't.
00:29:49
Speaker
have to like push or force for things that i want because I can actually just align my energy to what it is that I want and it will come. All right.
00:30:00
Speaker
So number one, there's three, there's three little facts, facts, statements. I don't know what they are. Number one, neuroscience and the reticular activating system. So I have talked about the reticular activating system quite a bit on the podcast.
00:30:16
Speaker
It's really fascinating. So this says, I'll just call it the RAS because it's a it's a mouthful. The RAS is a network of neurons in the brainstem that filters incoming information and highlights what is important to us.
00:30:31
Speaker
When you focus your thoughts and energy on a specific goal, the RAS helps you notice opportunities and resources aligned with that goal, effectively tuning your perception to support manifestation.
00:30:45
Speaker
I love the last sentence, effectively tuning your perception to support manifestation. So an example of the reticular activating system, let's say that I am feeling like a bad mom, right?
00:31:01
Speaker
And let's say Indigo cried for like 10 minutes this morning and I am tuning into the belief that I'm a bad mom because she cried for an extra 10 minutes this morning. And what my reticular activating system is going to do is it is going to show me evidence that that support my belief.
00:31:19
Speaker
So my belief, because let's say I'm vibrating low, is that I'm a bad mum. So my reticular activating system will show me a memory of when, you know, i cried when she was crying because I couldn't handle it anymore. Or it will take me to last night where I didn't cook her a wholesome dinner you know, instead I gave her like a pouch from the supermarket.
00:31:42
Speaker
It will show me the evidence that support that belief. So what we want to do is we want to use it in the opposite way. So let's say we have a belief that we are so successful in what it is that we do. Our RAS will then show us the evidence that supports that.
00:31:56
Speaker
Well, yes, Cleo, you are so good at what you do. Remember when your podcast reached number one on the Apple and Spotify podcast charts? Great. Okay. Oh, Cleo, look at your resume. Look how many things you've done.
00:32:09
Speaker
Oh, remember when that person asked you to speak at that event because you are great at talking about the law of attraction. So it will show you all of the opportunities, the people, the examples as to why you are so successful in what you do. This goes to show how important it is to focus your energy, the big word today, it's all about energy, your energy on what it is that you want, on the positives, on the good things, on what is working rather than what is not working.
00:32:35
Speaker
Okay, number two, neuroplasticity and thought patterns. Repeated thoughts and visualizations can strengthen neural pathways, making certain behaviors and thought patterns more automatic.
00:32:48
Speaker
By consistently aligning your energy with your desires, you are essentially rewiring your brain to support those outcomes. So the powerful affirmations that you repeat, they're not spiritual. They're not woo-woo. Well, yes, they are.
00:33:03
Speaker
but they're actually backed by science. These patterns become automatic in our brain where we will see something and we will know that we are good enough to attract it.
00:33:15
Speaker
Boom, we will attract it into our lives. When I've been in a really powerful state, I have manifested things so easily. Back in the day, I had done a lot of work on myself. I was doing my card readings, I was journaling, I was meditating like most days and I was feeling so in alignment with what I wanted.
00:33:34
Speaker
I wrote in my journal, and I've shared this story before, but I wrote in my journal, I want to, something like, I want to manifest a tropical holiday for free.
00:33:44
Speaker
A couple months later, and that's all I did. i didn't think about it. I didn't try to make it happen. I didn't force it. I didn't even think about it. I put it away. few months later, I got an email from a company wanting to fly me over to Bali and my friend.
00:33:58
Speaker
for a trip and not, this is not for my Cleo Massey Instagram or anything like that. They wanted to fly me over as like pass around the smile because they wanted to see if I wanted to hold retreats there. So I got to go on this full, beautiful retreat trip for free.
00:34:13
Speaker
Like it was, and it was the best. It was so amazing. But all I did was write it in my journal. So it goes to show how powerful our thoughts are when backed with an energy of belief.
00:34:24
Speaker
It's honestly, it's so exciting. Okay. The third one and last quantum physics and energy fields. Quantum physics suggests that everything in the universe, including our thoughts and emotions is energy by aligning our personal energy, thoughts, feelings, beliefs with our desires.
00:34:43
Speaker
We can influence the quantum field to bring those desires into reality. Um, wow. I'm not even going to go into that. I'm just going to let that sit with you. You know what? Even rewind it a bit and listen to that again. Let that sink in.
00:34:58
Speaker
It is so powerful. So just so you know, um i did not write those. I did not come up with those. um The, what do you call it when you're at a uni and you do you like school, the, not the, the links, like the references.
00:35:12
Speaker
So those three little points were from Brains magazines. The Make It Happen Project and Studio 9. I just want to give credit where it's due. I'm not taking other people's credit here.
00:35:24
Speaker
ah So guys, thank you so much for listening to another Pass Around the Smile podcast. I honestly do feel still a little bit weird about putting this podcast out because I do feel like it was low on effort and I feel like my brain is a little bit scattered.
00:35:39
Speaker
And I'm not like, I'm not desperate for validation or anything like that. I'm more like, please let me know if you liked it purely so that I know that when I'm feeling like this, I should continue to show up.
00:35:55
Speaker
um I feel like that is me asking for validation anyway, but... Catch me in the community, the Facebook community, the link to join the community. It's a very safe space. It's an inspiring space. It will be in the show notes.
00:36:07
Speaker
I am so grateful for you guys, my community. Keep watch out on my social media for my t-shirts and nighties coming soon. you guys are amazing. i love you all Peace out.
