One Day: My Soul Journey In The Gaia Tribe Part 4

Chapter 4: Fourth Dimension - We continue our exploration of Consciousness (Love) with a description of the fourth dimension. I use the word "bouncing" to explain the movement of energy we experience as we transition between the third and fifth dimensions.

Expansion... contraction. Feeling hopeful, excited, ready to be more in this world... brought "back down to reality" with an unexpected bump. This cycle continues as we move through the "shedding" of the old beliefs, limitations, and stories that have felt so familiar in the third dimension. It is a fascinating time in our human journey!

Join me as we continue this powerful conversation together.

One Day My Soul Journey in the Gaia Tribe Chapter 4 Fourth Dimension Bouncing When we are in the womb of our mother,

We merge the infinite soul and a tiny human body into one combined energy and physical form.

The consciousness that we bring with us is guiding the process and working with the energy of mama to understand the earth environment that the little baby will be stepping into when he or she is born.

It is a highly creative time for both mama and baby and all of it happens within nine months.

Then we arrive.

We are born into the physical and the many soul contracts we've made with our loved ones,

The memories of past lifetimes,

The gifts and purpose we bring into this lifetime.

All are forgotten.

What?

Yes,

This is the fun of human incarnation.

To begin again,

Over and over,

Relearning the spiritual physical dance,

Healing the places where our souls got stuck or wounded in past incarnations,

Expanding our own knowing through more experiences,

More contrast,

And more relationships.

So as you and I begin our journey together through the dimensions beyond the third dimensional reality,

It feels important to remind you that you already know all that you're going to remember as you read this book.

I am simply a guide sharing my soul journey with you,

Trusting that it provides openings exactly as you need them in the perfect timing for your soul and always with the greatest of love.

Your work is to allow your physical body to connect back in and realign with your infinite soul,

Your ever expanding consciousness.

So let's explore the fourth dimension.

The best way to describe it is a confusing shift of,

I believe the world might be different than how I've always understood it to be.

I believe things may work differently than I've always expected they may work,

But I'm not sure.

And if this is all true,

I don't really know what to even do about it.

Perhaps in the past,

You thought you were always a certain way,

A certain size or personality,

A certain image or archetype,

Boxed in,

Limited.

As you shift into the fourth dimension,

You start stretching or expanding how you see yourself.

A window opens,

Or maybe at first,

Just the curtain covering that window opens.

And you can see that maybe things aren't always quite what you believe they were,

But everyone had programmed and told you they would be.

If you are a person who built walls and limitations around yourself for much of your life,

Then your movement into the fourth dimension begins to show you that perhaps there's something more to you here in this lifetime.

Perhaps your experiences could be different.

Maybe the world is more amazing,

And this journey of life is more incredible than what you believe it has offered you so far.

There's an anticipation,

A feeling of excitement,

Hope,

And pleasure that expands within the physical body in this transitional time.

Moments or interactions that leave you feeling a little fizzy,

A little bubbly,

Like,

Whoa,

I didn't realize,

And that's kind of exciting.

And who knew it could be all that?

You start experiencing this feeling of being bigger than who you thought you always were.

But then,

There's a contraction that comes in right as you're starting to be amazed at who you are becoming,

A bumpy landing back into the real world through a fight with your partner or co-worker,

An illness that has you feeling miserable,

An unexpected financial stress.

All kinds of limitations can show back up for the contraction.

In the fourth dimension,

Life feels very much as if you are a jellyfish moving through the water.

As jellyfish move,

Their bodies contract in and expand out,

Go in and go out,

In and out.

They are moving through the water,

Perhaps with or without a clear understanding of where they are going next,

Moving and stretching through their space breath by breath,

Expand and contract,

Expand and contract.

That is exactly what the fourth dimension feels like.

You feel great for a moment,

An hour or a week,

And then you suddenly come crashing back into the limitations of the third's reality,

And you don't know if that new joy that you experienced was even true.

And then you expand again,

Feeling the possibility of,

Whoa,

It could be different.

And then you contract back in again.

There's this emotional and spiritual movement that can feel a bit dizzying,

A bit like a yo-yo,

A little exhausting when you're sitting in the middle of it,

Confusing,

Disorienting.

In this space,

You start to understand how limiting the world was in the way that you'd always viewed it.

You go back and forth between hopeful,

Optimistic,

Excited,

And then,

Oh,

Crashing back down into reality.

But this is exactly the process that needs to happen for third dimensional energy to make its way out of your physical body,

And for your heart and your soul to release that dimension and flow into a more expansive field.

So there's a shedding that happens when you shift dimensional levels,

A shedding of the old,

Like a snake skin,

Where the snake outgrows its skin and leaves that layer behind.

It is the same snake the whole way through all of its transformations,

Through all of the times that it sheds its skin.

It's the same snake simply shedding its old layer to allow the new skin room to breathe,

To allow the snake to grow bigger,

To expand its capacity.

It is the same for us with dimensions of consciousness.

As the spiritual and physical are shifting from the third dimension to the fourth dimension,

There is a letting go,

A releasing that happens physically and spiritually.

The process looks different for everyone depending on your stories,

Your belief,

And the way that you see yourself.

For me,

I felt confusion,

Anger,

And disappointment during my shedding of the layers.

I could feel the expectations I held for others not being met,

And then how I personalized that as my own limitations.

I believed it was my fault that people weren't able to meet me,

Or see me,

Or understand me,

When really,

It was simply that I was stretching and growing.

I had expanded past the limitations of some of those old relationships,

Jobs,

Projects,

And belief systems.

So where I took it personally and thought someone was judging me,

Or something was wrong with me,

Or lacking in me,

It was actually that my internal capacity had expanded,

And the flow of energy between me and those things that I used to engage with had shifted.

During these times of expansion,

It might feel like you have outgrown a relationship,

But that subtly implies a feeling of superiority,

Or a sense of leaving others behind.

Every soul has their own timing,

Their own journey.

Every soul has lessons that they are working on as they incarnate.

And so every expansion that happens through your heart and your spirit is in the perfect timing for you.

There is no race,

No getting ahead of someone else,

Or leaving someone behind,

Or competing or challenging against another.

It isn't that at all.

Sometimes we might have souls who play a role in motivating us in our lives,

Or who,

Through contrast,

Push us to expand so that we leap into whatever the next level is.

But it's never because there's some race between souls to get to some imaginary finish line faster than another.

At a soul level,

Every single soul is here to support the other,

Whether we do it through walking alongside someone,

Or through showing contrast,

Helping ourselves and others to release old energies.

Whichever way we play,

The point of the journey always is to support and expand every soul into more love.

Every soul.

And so if we honor the path of each individual soul as perfect,

As already complete and whole,

Then there is no lack or disappointment or judgment that needs to last.

It can just be feeling the contrast in whatever it brings up in us,

Moving through it,

Expanding,

Then moving into whatever our next adventure or learning is that we're doing.

And then loving the other exactly where they are.

Which feels important,

And yet is not always so easy to do as we're transitioning through all of these dimensional changes,

Right?

Knowing what the highest potential could be,

And simultaneously being stuck in the old patterns.

Bouncing.

My expansion into fourth was a physical shift,

An energetic shift,

A spiritual shift.

It felt like the veils were becoming thinner all around me.

Doors were creaking open a bit.

I couldn't quite tell what was on the other side or what might be coming through.

I just knew that something in me was becoming more certain.

Something was clearer than it had been before,

And it was fun.

It felt delightful.

It felt exciting to trust myself in that way.

And then bump.

I would get pulled back into the old stories and have to dig through the confusion to find clarity again.

An example feels like it would be useful here.

My shift to the fourth dimension started in the summer of 2015.

At the time,

I was consulting with another coach through her business,

Building a client base and expanding the ways I used energy in my work.

As I was bouncing around in the fourth dimension,

I would get hurt and disappointed when I felt like I wasn't being seen or accepted for who I was in my gifts.

Things felt very confusing as changes were constantly and simultaneously happening in my own self-growth,

In my coaching work with clients,

And in my relationship with my partner in the business.

Differences were coming up quickly to be examined in all areas.

The speed of the changes,

Both business and personal,

Felt scary to me.

If you had met me then,

I would have told you with total conviction that I felt sad and hurt because I wasn't being loved or accepted for who I was.

That my relationship with my business partner and friend was falling apart because I wasn't being valued.

My old stories of fear about not being included in the tribe were coming up powerfully so that I could explore them.

Ouch.

And then I could finally start healing and releasing those old stories.

With perspective,

Further down the road,

What I know for sure is that our souls already had both of us on a path that was for our highest good,

Which would mean separating to allow space for each of us to grow further and to expand into our gifts individually in richer and fuller ways.

But in the process,

As it's unfolding,

It feels very confusing,

Frustrating,

Overwhelming.

I can see now for myself that the catalyst for my change was to see the situation as black and white,

Believing that I was right and she was wrong,

Which would then give me the strength to leave,

The strength to hold my ground,

To claim my space,

Which was a huge shift from the third dimensional version of me who might never have had the courage to make such a big change and step out on my own.

The judgments I made gave me permission to leave the flock,

To make a dramatic change,

A change that was guided by my soul,

To help me continue expanding consciousness,

To become more,

Always more.

Navigating this shift.

So how do we navigate this bouncing arena of the fourth dimension?

My best advice is to go slowly at this time if possible,

To be patient and kind with yourself,

To forgive yourself for not always being clear or having it all figured out.

To talk things through with people you trust and who you know love you,

So that you don't get all clouded and confused in your own headspace.

As consciousness expands,

We are continually being offered the opportunity to tune into the quieter voice inside each of us.

We begin learning how to decipher our own unique soul voice from the chaos and the busyness of all the voices that go on around us,

In our heads and in our physical world.

We have so much energy and information coming towards us in all moments in this evolving age of technology.

It feels like there's a barrage of information that's constantly coming our way.

Now is the time to find whatever processes or ways you can to turn down the world's density and the third dimensional limitations and chatter.

So that you can find and get clearer and clearer on what your soul is saying to you,

What your soul is guiding you towards next.

Because ultimately every soul in their expansion is being guided forward through the dimensions of consciousness,

Like a never-ending train track.

You're going from fourth to fifth,

To sixth,

To seventh.

It's forward.

It's always expanding into more.

If we're all being guided into our own unique ways of being more,

Feeling more,

And holding more,

Then each person,

Each soul needs to identify what their train track,

Their path looks like.

Because it will be different from everyone else's.

And it's hard to know what that path or way is going to look like if you're overwhelmed with the noise and voices of everyone around you.

Start creating a structured practice where you have quiet time,

Where there is room for your voice to whisper to you.

Whether it's through meditation,

Exercise,

Prayer,

Dance,

Walking,

Lying in bed for an extra five or 10 minutes in the morning,

Allowing your mind to just wander and your soul to inform you.

Build a practice that allows you to tune into yourself in new ways,

To feel the emotions that want to come up,

To remember the stories that need space to process,

So that they can move.

Often it's not even a digging into old things that has to be done.

It's simply allowing room for the memories to come up,

Be lightly touched and felt,

And then move through.

That's often enough.

And if it feels like more digging is needed at times,

Get the coaching support you need to heal.

The important piece is to create the practice,

Structure,

And the discipline in your routine,

So that you can expand your heart.

You can breathe into this fourth dimension and not feel overwhelmed or intimidated by it.

It can just be this easy,

Graceful movement forward and through,

A releasing of any old stories,

Old beliefs,

And old heaviness.

In the fourth dimension,

You may start experiencing a pull or a call towards activities that you've never been interested in before,

That make no sense to the people around you.

The soul is so wise.

It will always pull towards us what will most serve.

The soul will plant that perfect opportunity for growth right in front of us.

And if we trust what the signs are,

If we listen when we feel the jump in our heart,

When something shows up that feels absolutely perfect and completely terrifying,

If we trust that,

If we have enough quiet external space to feel the internal pulse giving a little pitter patter beat in a new way,

If we trust that and follow it,

Then our soul is going to guide us to exactly where we need to be with exactly the next step that would most serve us.

And it will be different for everyone.

For me,

First,

It was music.

That summer of 2015,

I was gifted with a powerful sound healing with a shaman.

It was the first time I'd ever experienced a ceremony guided by sound.

This beautiful ancient healer was playing music in our small gathering with his indigenous handmade instruments and then adding in modern music from his phone.

Many were songs and artists I didn't know,

Musicians I wasn't familiar with,

New kinds of meditation or shamanic music.

I was entranced.

So I started filling up the playlist of my own phone.

I would play music when I ran each morning,

When I was home by myself working,

When I was in the car with my family,

And when I was laying by the pool meditating.

I would play all of these different pieces of music and feel the activation of something shifting inside of me.

Knowing that I was hearing sounds I had loved before in other lifetimes and feeling the memories of those lifetimes stirring.

For some of the music,

There was just a calm,

Settling feeling in my heart or my stomach.

I could feel my whole body grounding energetically and connecting with the earth as the songs played.

I was feeling energy moving through me in different ways as the music guided me.

It would show me a new pathway.

Music would quiet the chatter in my mind and allow me to experience the space where my soul could just float.

My soul could play,

Could whisper to me.

Meditation.

I started meditating more.

I was also journaling more during this phase.

I was accessing memories from my past lives.

A doorway opened for me that summer,

Allowing me to feel truth across time and space.

I would have shivers or chills move through my body when I knew I was tapping into memories from other lifetimes for myself,

My clients,

My friends.

I developed a trust of my body in a whole new way through muscle testing.

Feeling truth as a physical knowing.

I would hold my hand out,

Press one finger against the other,

Speak a statement,

And know in every cell in my body that what I was saying was my truth or clearly not my truth.

It was a significant change for me to be so certain in my body after a lifetime of not paying attention to my own body.

This was a shift from handing my power over to other people for validation and instead fully trusting myself.

That summer and fall,

I could feel a new certainty landing within myself.

I know this is true.

I don't need anyone else to confirm this.

My body and my soul and my heart are telling me yes and I trust this so completely.

Energy play.

As the body and soul are coming more into alignment,

Grounding energetically is an important tool.

To clarify,

It's not that you're grounding into the third dimension and staying rooted in that reality.

No.

Instead,

You are practicing grounding your own energy into your own physical body.

You're landing all of your energy in you.

From there,

You can really play with expanding and contracting and it doesn't make you as wobbly.

The yo-yo feeling doesn't throw you off balance as much.

If you are new to energy work,

Energetic grounding is a simple practice to include in your daily activities.

Picture your physical body as a tree and then visualize yourself growing roots deep down into the earth underneath your feet.

Feel the earth's rich soil holding you firmly in place,

Just like a tree that has a strong root system underneath the ground.

If it's helpful,

Picture the tallest redwood in a California forest or the oldest sycamore or oak tree and match your strength and stability to that mental image.

Rooting in and anchoring your attention into each moment is a powerful way to move through this bouncing phase quickly.

The fourth dimensional shift is a good time for quiet space,

Reflection,

Contemplation,

Meditation.

All of those practices that can support you in grounding your energy into your body,

Anchoring into what is coming through next,

Which is likely a little bit more of that push-pull feeling,

Up-down,

Backwards-forwards,

Yo-yo.

There's a lot moving in the fourth dimension as you clear out so many of the old stories in your life.

For some people,

This dimensional shift can be really brief,

Just a few weeks or a month or two.

For other people,

It could be a year,

Two years,

Or many years.

I believe now,

Though,

With the way that the planet is shifting,

People will not be spending many years in the fourth dimension anymore.

The movement will be faster through these levels because there are such higher levels of light and energy entering our earth,

Which increase the feeling of being propelled forward.

Even though perhaps you're not feeling quite physically or emotionally ready for changes,

Your soul always knows when you're ready to expand,

Which is why you step into that space.

Your soul is guiding you into the next level of awareness.

So it really is about trust.

Trust what shows up.

Follow the signs.

Follow the guidance.

Allow yourself to be guided.

Allow yourself to believe that everything that you're sensing is possible.

If you see it,

If you feel it,

If you hold the vibration of it inside your soul and anchor that into your physical body,

Your physical time,

Your physical life,

There's no way you can't reach that next space.

The only unknown is how long it will take.

And that really depends on how strong your faith is in yourself,

How strong your belief is in what you're seeing for yourself,

How strong your desire is to expand,

How in touch you are with your feelings.

If you can allow yourself to feel the pleasure,

The joy,

The delight,

And then hold that vibration as you move forward,

Because you can't go backwards in dimensions.

Once you complete one level and expand into the next,

You don't contract all the way back down again.

You can't be less conscious than you were before.

You're only expanding into more consciousness,

More awareness,

More understanding.

And so the density of the third dimension starts to shed like a snakeskin.

And that new,

Trembly,

Unsure,

Not quite formed fourth dimensional version of you has room to be created.

It is an incredible process playing with consciousness in this way.

The reverence,

The kindness,

And gentleness that you show yourself makes such a difference.

Deep breath.

As we prepare to leave the fourth dimension and step into the fifth,

Allow breath to carry you through the shift.

In yoga,

We are guided to align with breath and trust that it will carry us through any position that is stretching our physical bodies.

To lean into the posture and feel each breath coming in and then gently leaving our bodies.

It is the same for these shifts of consciousness.

Take a moment to catch and then release your breath.

Feel the movement of your breath and trust the certainty of more breath always arriving in the next moment.

All is well.

Afterglow.

Remember when I mentioned that you might feel pulled towards new activities that make no sense to the people around you?

One of my clients,

Jen,

Was pulled towards pole dancing in her fourth dimensional transition.

Something that perhaps she'd always been curious about but had never had the courage to try.

She is a ring soul filter.

More on the soul filters in the sixth dimension.

Which is very much about fun and body.

So it would make sense that she was pulled towards something that would help her tune into her body.

Listen to the gentle nuances of what her body was inviting her to do and move and feel.

Teaching her how to run energy through her body in ways she didn't know before.

This new call to pole dancing gave her a way to play with all that was shifting inside of her.

It offered her a safe place where she could tune out the busyness of the world around and hear her own soul whispers.

Her own body's tenderness and strength.

The desire of her body to play and delight in sensation.

She listened and then created a space for herself to have that creative time.

Which then guided her into more clarity about next steps for her relationships and career.

It feels important as we wrap up this phase of bouncing to offer the confirmation of a gentle landing space in the fifth dimension through Jen's example.

When I met Jen three years ago,

She was a very busy and successful corporate manager with a full family life.

And she could feel that she was shifting but didn't know where her path was taking her.

She transitioned into the fourth dimension when she left her full-time job to start a coaching business and work from home.

Yikes.

Talk about leaving the density of the third dimension and stepping into the unknown.

She bounced in the fourth dimension for almost a year,

Going through beautiful shifts in many of the relationships in her life as she released old patterns and stories.

Expanding and stretching and then bumping roughly back down into the old density and confusion.

Up again,

Down again.

And then one night,

Just a couple months ago,

She posted a branded inspirational photo with an amazing quote that completely captured who she was becoming.

I texted her as soon as I saw it with these exact words.

Jen,

You just nailed it,

My love.

Yes,

Yes,

Yes.

You are on your path.

Keep the energy flowing.

It is powerful.

She landed.

Let's go explore FIP.

Reviews

I feel uplifted, excited and reassured by this info. This speaks to some things I've been experiencing and have felt conflicted about. Now I think I can relax! Thank you so much Vivienne!💜🌹🌿

I appreciate how this chapter discusses the shock & uncomfortable sensations of shrinking in addition to the good feelings of expansion. With 2025 being the year of the snake, I’m eager to see what needs to be shed 🐍

Oooh!!! I loved when you described evolving into the next dimension and stating you can't go back. I immediately got the memory of when I was about 12 or 13 and I found my seat in horseback riding. I had only just started riding and couldn't WAIT to canter but my body and muscles didn't quite know how to sit gracefully yet 😅 they were still getting attuned to the horses as is the process. But once it clicked that was it, it was just growth and new skills and jumps from there. Excellent chapter. This one is definitely worth a revisit 🥰🤗🙏🫶✌️
