The Reflection Roadmap
Expanders come in many different forms. Often, they arrive in pieces of your manifested future self. One of the most important Expanders is the vision holder. These are your living guardians. Your past-life and soul connections.
For example, four houses of caretakers raised me; a few of which didn’t (and still do not) have a sturdy foundation of self-worth. Like the generations before me, I struggled to develop my own sense of self-worth in childhood.
Instead, I developed "cool" and I developed "pretty" and I developed "original" (all survival mechanisms). However, foundational self-worth was not on the docket.
Subconscious self-worth and expansion are the core elements to manifestation.
While my self-worth was lacking, I did have a slew of vision holders to foster my growth. From teachers and friends, to partners and bosses. My most powerful vision holder was my ex's mother. She saw a light in me that I didn't even know existed. And she never wavered on that vision. It wasn't forced or contrived or condescending. It wasn’t pushing my towards something that I am not. Put simply, she felt my heart and my potential.
I can still remember the many pivotal moments where I admired something and she said, "you have that," or, "that's you". She encouraged everything I did, every vision I had, and noticed gifts that I didn't even realize I possessed. She nurtured them, gifted things that would further them, and continued to see the vision of where my soul was naturally gravitating. Pure love. Pure vision.
Recent vision holders have been clients and Pathway members that stop me on the street to share their experiences. They tell me how the work has completely changed their lives and how important it is in the world. They plant expanding seeds and continue to reinforce that vision. These are some of the most profound mirrors (expanders); sometimes more profound than the seeing-is-believing.
My ex-held the vision of me quitting my full-time job in order to go freelance and follow my pings.
My fiancé held the vision of where I could financially soar to being in my body and feeling beautiful in it.
My fiancé's mother showed me that I could manifest the retreat house.
Countless friends hold the vision of deeper vulnerability and trust.
The list goes on!
These are your vision holders - especially when you're going through uncomfortable and contracting periods of growth. I highly suggest flocking to them, gathering them, and cherishing their vision.
The lower your worth, the less you'll believe the vision they have for you. The more you shift your worth, the more you'll grow into this vision. UNBLOCKED Inner Child, Shadow and NO are wonderful programs for unlocking this block. This month's roadmap will help you to take this concept deeper.
