Hi it's Dr.
Kim.
I wanted to share something with you today that has been a pretty big part of my manifestation journey.
Something that helped me create the lifestyle I wanted,
The work I wanted and also helped me heal from chronic pain.
It's the concept of expanders.
Now if you're into manifestation,
Visualizing,
Journaling,
Law of attraction,
All of that,
You might already know how important it is to get into the feeling of what you want.
But there's another step that often gets overlooked and one that I have found to be personally extremely helpful and that is surrounding yourself with people or even hearing stories that prove what you want is possible.
That is what an expander is.
It's someone who lives in a way that your current self maybe doesn't fully believe is realistic just yet.
The existence of this person stretches your mind,
Stretches your beliefs and once your mind is stretched it never really goes back.
Why expanders matter in manifestation?
Here's the thing,
Manifestation isn't just about thinking positively,
It's about believability.
If part of you doesn't believe that what you want is possible for you,
You're going to block it.
You will suddenly self-sabotage,
You'll hesitate,
You'll shrink.
That's where expanders come in.
They help your brain,
Your subconscious mind,
Update its belief system.
Because when you see someone else doing what you want to do,
It's no longer just a fantasy,
It becomes evidence and your nervous system goes,
Oh so this actually exists,
This can happen.
That shift in belief is what opens the door.
I'm going to give you a personal example.
I am a holistic chiropractor by profession and this is what I did for many years back in Australia.
I worked in a physical practice and I also worked set hours.
What I truly wanted deep in my heart was complete location independence.
I wanted to work online as a digital nomad and travel the world freely.
However,
I had no idea how to do it.
I had never even heard of a chiropractor taking their work online and I had so many practical and emotional blocks in my head,
All around money,
Security,
Logistics,
Worthiness,
All of that kind of stuff.
But instead of sitting in that stuck energy,
I actually went looking for expanders.
I had a look online and started to follow people who were already living the lifestyle I wanted.
Health professionals,
Coaches,
Meditation teachers,
Solo travelers,
All living in places I wanted to visit,
Working on their own schedule and making a good income.
Now at first when I found all of these people,
I did feel a wave of jealousy,
That kind of must be nice energy and let me tell you that is totally normal.
If you start finding expanders and your first reaction is jealousy,
Welcome to the club.
This is completely normal.
Jealousy is just your brain lighting up and saying,
I want that too but I don't believe I can have it yet.
Instead of judging yourself for feeling that way,
Get curious.
Jealousy is a sign that something in your external world is mirroring a deep inner desire.
It's not a sign to pull away,
It's a sign to lean in.
Once I moved through that initial jealousy and started letting myself feel inspired instead,
Everything started to shift.
I actually reached out to a few of these expanders and started up a conversation and I realized that they went through the exact same process,
That they are human too and also felt the very same doubts I did.
What happened next was very curious indeed.
Ideas started coming to me as to how I could run my business online,
Opportunities showed up and more importantly,
My nervous system started feeling safe with a potential new reality.
That's when manifestation speeds up.
A few months later,
I booked my flight out of Australia and I have not looked back ever since.
If you're interested in hearing more about my digital nomad story,
You can check out my course here on Insight Timer entitled My Life of Freedom as a Digital Nomad.
Now let's put a healing spin on this because maybe that's what you're here for.
After all,
Helping people heal chronic pain is my speciality.
If you've been dealing with pain,
Illness,
Fatigue or just a body that doesn't feel like yours,
The rules of manifestation still apply.
But again,
If you've never seen or heard of anyone truly heal from anything similar to what you're dealing with,
Your brain won't believe it's possible for you and belief is everything.
That's why you need expanders in your life.
You need to hear real life stories about people who have healed.
People who went from hopeless,
Stuck,
Misdiagnosed and sick to thriving.
That's what shifts your subconscious blueprint from this is my reality to wait,
What if healing is actually available to me?
What if it is all possible?
Over the next week,
Look out for people who could potentially become expanders in your life.
You can look online or in person,
Whatever is easiest for you.
Observe them,
Reach out to them.
All it takes is one person to completely change your life.
That's why I created my course Chicken Soup for the Healing Body.
It's a collection of miraculous healing stories I have witnessed firsthand as a chiropractor and online somatic coach.
These are not surface level improvements and they do not involve any drug surgery or painkillers.
They are deep,
Meaningful,
Holistic recoveries.
The people in these stories are expanders.
I have told their stories because they are meant to update your belief system so that your body can start responding differently.
When you hear enough real-life healing stories,
Your inner narrative starts to shift from fear to trust,
From doubt to possibility.
If you want to rewire your body's belief about what's possible,
This is a really powerful place to start.
You can find the course right here on Insight Timer.
Again,
It's called Chicken Soup for the Healing Body.
I hope it brings hope,
Truth,
Inspiration and the nervous system expansion your body has been needing.
Have you heard of this concept of expanders?
I would love to hear from you.
As always,
Thank you so much for listening and I will see you tomorrow.
