Are you craving techniques to thrive during chaos and upheaval? Yah, me too! Whether you fully understand what is happening in the energy shift, it is undeniable that chaos and upheaval not only knocked at our door, but it came inside and made itself comfortable in our home. If you are interested in learning some techniques to thrive during chaos and upheaval, stay connected to me (social media, newsletter, classes) and keep reading.
I have been tracking and teaching about the energy shift since I started my business in April 2011. This shift has been going on for some time (even before 2011) and over the years it felt more like a slow drip of change. Slow drips are good when it comes to transformation because it allows us to make small shifts that result in big changes.
However, the energies now feel like a fire hose. This intensity can bubble up a lot of fear, anger, agitation, frustration, uncertainty, and rage.
What is really happening in the energy shift?
It would take me days to fully explain what is happening and this is what I deep dive into each month in my Sacred Shift community (enrollment opens in May if you want to join us).
The short story is that Earth is evolving and humans (and animals) are along for the ride. Earth is always evolving and upgrading like she has for billions of years. Humans are also going through an evolution and upgrade like we have for thousands of years. But we now have the ability for instant news and sharing that our ancestors did not have so chaos and stress spreads instantly. Additionally we are experiencing deep fluctuations and increases in the frequency of Earth (Schumann Resonance), solar flares which bubble up anger (2025-26 solar maximum), planetary movements (Pluto moving into Aquarius where it will stay until 2043 and the last time it was in this position was during the American & French Revolutions), and the collective human frequency (more fear-based in recent years).
As humans, we are vulnerable to shifting frequencies because we are made mostly of water. So are our animals. Water can be structured (changed) when exposed to frequencies, including spoken words. Check out Dr. Masaru Emoto’s scientific experiences with water.
Who will feel uncomfortable in these energy shifts?
People who are ungrounded. When you are ungrounded you may experience anxiety, depression, emotional imbalance, are easily distracted, and become stuck in a loop of discomfort and negativity. This discomfort may come out as anger, fear, rage, judgment, and sometimes violent behavior.
Who are flowing and thriving with these energies?
People who are grounded while simultaneously raising their frequency. When you are grounded you can calm your mind and be present, are emotionally stable, self-aware, have an open mind, are balanced and moving forward in life. When you can also raise your frequency you are able to elevate your mindset out of negative thinking to find solutions from a different perspective because you have been working on your core beliefs, inner programming, inner emotional healing, and are open-minded to learning. Spoiler alert: My top 2 techniques for grounding and raising frequency involve crystals and essential oils!
When you have the tools and techniques to support you, you are able to handle the shifts with ease. Think of it like riding a rollercoaster: the ungrounded are not belted in and are screaming out fear, whereas the grounded are fully belted in and are screaming out of exhilaration with the ups and downs.
The contrast is intense
The shift is giving us an opportunity to elevate how we think about life by fire hosing with contrast to help us shift faster. Contrast is where we have a negative experience which gives us clarity on what we really want.
- Can we keep living with the division and violence that plagues our communities? NOPE!
- Can we keep living at the breakneck speed of busyness? NOPE!
- Can we keep working in toxic harmful environments because we have been taught to stay or we feel that we have too many years of service to leave? NOPE!
- Can we keep staying in toxic relationships because we are too polite to set boundaries? NOPE!
- Can we keep putting off our dreams because we allow other people and situations to have more space in our life than we actually allow for ourself? NOPE!
- Can we keep consuming toxic food, toxic drinks, toxic air, toxic online content, toxic friends and family, and our own toxic thoughts? NOPE!
- Can we keep putting everything and everyone above our own physical, emotional and mental wellness? NOPE!
When you start working to bring out the best version of you, you will flow with the energy shift.
My Favorite Techniques to Thrive in Chaos
- Disconnect from news and social media. Too much time on mainstream negative news and social media will take a toll. Our brain is not built to handle constant information overload, especially when the information is manufactured chaos and events that conjure fear. Stay informed by observing but not absorbing. Set time limits to be informed – like 5 minutes in the morning and 5 minutes in the evening from an independent source that is not full of emotional opinions. For social media, avoid anything divisive or fearful (even for 2 seconds) and “unfollowing” (Facebook) or click “not interested” (TikTok) so that you see less of what you don’t want. Follow people who teach you something of value, inspire you, leave you feeling better – avoid those who spread fear and misinformation. Do not intentionally dive into chaos and fear energy online – this is totally in your control.
- Disconnect from negative people. The energy of a negative person, or someone you do not resonate with, will wear you down. Other people’s chaos and fear will rub off on you. Physically you will feel fatigued around them, emotionally you may shut down or feel angry, and mentally they drain you. If you can fully disconnect from this person, please do that. If it is a boss, coworker, or family member, be intentional in limiting time with them. After time with them, immediately connect with an uplifting person or do something joyful to raise your energy.
- Spend time in nature. Do you resonate with water, forests, mountains, sunny days, windy days? All of these nature elements have a healing component. Water helps you flow and dream; forests help to ground and calm; mountains give you strength; sun increases vitality and happiness; and the wind is purifying and cleansing. Every day, or as often as you can, spend time in nature. Go for a walk in a wooded area, bask in the sun, sit underneath a tree, walk through a nursery to enjoy flowers and plants. This will also keep you connected to the Earth to handle the shifting frequencies easier.
- Daily self-care rituals. What can you do in the quiet of your home that is a nurturing self-care ritual? I like morning rituals because they set the energy for the day. The days that I do not engage in my morning ritual, I feel off all day. Make it easy and something that you look forward to doing. Maybe it involves deep stretching for a few minutes, journaling, reciting affirmations or what you are grateful for, smelling and topically essential oils to set your frequency for the day, selecting crystals to carry with you during the day or meditating with crystals, listening to soothing frequency music in the morning rather than the news, making a hot cup of tea or coffee, or working it out at the gym. Rituals are solely for you, it will nurture your soul and melt away stress, fear and negative emotions.
- Meditate daily. The human brain is on overload and needs quiet time outside of sleeping. When you consistently quiet your mind, even just 5-10 minutes a day, you will have increased intuition and notice positive changes. If you struggle to quiet your mind, focusing on your breathing, stare into something like a beautiful crystal, a candle or fireplace, or go on a walking meditation in nature (so long as it’s quiet with no other people around). I spend a lot of time walking the beaches of Lake Michigan and it has been life changing. Calming your thoughts through meditation will help you elevate about the energy of chaos and stress.
- Work on your intuition. We all have intuition but busyness and numbing activities (doom scrolling social media, constant noise thru TV-music-phone, binge watching TV, unhealthy habits, busyness) will shut the door on your natural intuition. Give yourself downtime every day to quiet your mind and listen. Once you get into the practice, you will get the ideas, whispers and nudges throughout the day. And when those happen, listen and take action. Intuition is always supportive (go for it!) whereas your ego mind is limiting and critical (that will be a disaster). When you let your intuition guide you, it will move you away from chaos.
- Discern truth. When you are working on opening your intuition, it will also help you discern truth. One technique that I love to teach is the postural sway method. Stand up with your feet hip width apart. Ask yourself a question where the answer is yes (like, is my name Allie?) and your body should lean forward slightly. Then ask a question where the answer is no and your body should lean back slightly, Now you know what your “yes” and “no” are. When you have a question, or hear/read something and are not sure if it’s true, just do this technique. This will help you quickly dismiss chaos and shift back to joy.
- Keep an open mind to learn something new. When I started learning about energy laws and healing, my life and work took a dramatic turn for the better. With each topic I learned about, it opened another door like a domino effect. It was empowering! When you feel empowered, chaos and stress cannot live in your home.
- Work on your mindset. If your thoughts default to why you can’t do something or to disempowering thoughts, find a teacher or mentor who can help. Read the books, take the classes, follow the right people online. I infuse mindset techniques in almost everything I teach and when you decide to shift this, the results are dramatic because you will realize how powerful you really are no matter what is happening outside of you.
- Connect with uplifting people. Clubs and community groups are a wonderful way to connect with people with similar interests. Being with like-minded people, rather than isolating, during chaos and stressful times will keep you resilient. If your community does not have a club that you would like to join, create one and friends who would be interested. Meeting together in-person involving something joyful is one of the best ways to thrive during chaos. Just make sure the gathering does not dip into complaining about the chaos.
Just remember that chaos energy loves to feed on fear – let’s starve it of fearful oxygen to calm it down.
