Inspired by Episode 48 of the Vibrations & Manifestations Podcast: “Easy Ways To Keep Your Inner Peace Every Day!”
“You don’t need everyone to understand you to be at peace with yourself.”
— Episode 48, Vibrations & Manifestations
You’ve been doing the inner work—journaling, segment intending, connecting with your Higher Self. But then someone else walks in with a cloud of negativity or sharp energy… and suddenly, your calm feels like it’s under attack.
This is where real spiritual practice kicks in: not in perfect solitude, but in the contrast.
This guide will help you stay centered when it matters most—in the moment of misalignment.
“Contrast helps you find clarity. It’s not an enemy—it’s feedback.”
— Jared
When someone’s energy feels totally different from yours, it can be uncomfortable. But it’s not necessarily a problem.
In manifestation terms, this is contrast—a moment of vibrational difference that helps you clarify what you do want.
Contrast isn’t here to ruin your vibe—it’s here to help you grow.
When a tense or misaligned interaction hits, your brain often triggers what’s called an amygdala hijack—a fight-or-flight stress response.
That’s why you might feel like snapping, freezing, or overexplaining.
But with a deep breath and awareness, you activate your prefrontal cortex—the higher-functioning part of your brain that can choose alignment over reaction.
“Staying peaceful isn’t passive—it’s active nervous system regulation.”
— Alicia
Before reacting, ask yourself:
This moment of pause creates space for discernment.
Break your day into energetic “segments.”
Before entering a conversation, take 10 seconds to:
If you get thrown off, hit that mental reset button and begin again.
“Will this bring me closer to peace… or deeper into resistance?”
This one’s powerful and simple.
That short pause keeps you from reacting defensively—and keeps you connected to your power.
After the moment has passed, try journaling:
Don’t ruminate—realign.
Try saying:
“I get to feel good, even if you don’t get it.”
or
“I don’t need everyone to understand me to be at peace with myself.”
These mantras release the need for approval and reinforce your energetic boundaries with love.
“You don’t argue with the dark. You don’t try to convince it to be brighter. You simply become the light.”
— Jared
Picture yourself in a noisy, chaotic space.
Then imagine flipping on the light switch inside your chest—your heart-center glowing with soft golden light.
Let that light expand.
Let it change the atmosphere without saying a word.
That’s energetic leadership.
“The idea that contrast results in expansion really helped me reframe my thoughts. I’m excited to apply it and do more journaling!”
Kirsten’s thoughtful question about navigating misalignment and staying true to herself inspired this entire episode. We’re so grateful she shared her voice—it sparked something powerful.

If someone doesn’t understand your path or beliefs… it’s okay. You didn’t come here to be understood by everyone.
You came here to glow.
