Hi loves, i have a question about gratefulness. I'm trying to be more mindful of what im grateful for and writing things down at the end of the day. But i cant stop this feeling of feeling like ill jinx it by being overly grateful? Maybe it feels like im trying to hold on too much by thinking about how much i appreciated that thing. How do you guys balance this? Have you experienced something similar? Sometimes i feel when i express my gratitude to people like they pull away as well, maybe im too focussed on trying to do something that they respond to that energy? What are your thoughts? Do you recognize this and how did you balance this?

I ran a live event in London this last week I spoke for 7 hours a day 3 days in a row With no planned content whatsoever I hot seat coached people, ran guided meditations and taught ideas And for the first time in the last year… I had no nerves whatsoever I was excited and looking forward to it leading up to it Why wasn’t I nervous? Does it mean I don’t care as much? Is this too good to be true? I believe that learning to trust is really a “rep game” where you allow the moment to be and your nervous system begins to regulate in the “unknown” I just got into the unknown over and over again with other live events prior in the year until my identity began to shift along with my nervous system I’ve also allowed the space and the people to pull out of me the content and ideas So the EGO doesn’t have to control and figure it all out The ego is what wants to control… to avoid pain or feel inflated Magic happens when I surrender the egos desire to control And instead trust the divine or God to flow through To be honest… Its not me as AARON DOUGHTY doing ANYTHING Therefore I just show up and allow the space and the divine to flow through The divine is in the driver seat and my job is to allow and get out of the way To get to this point though… I had to have the courage to step into the unknown over and over again This meant at times feeling the fear… and doing it anyways And eventually my body began to relax in that “unknown” energy Same was true for having vulnerable conversations I would express how I really feel… When as a kid it felt not safe to do so As an adult I’ve had to feel that same fear… and then express myself anyways And the more I’ve done it… the easier it gets and the more I “trust” Trust is not something you need to “learn” to do Trust is a natural state of being Trust is allowing what is And allowing something greater than the ego YOU to flow through The more you trust this unknown energy… the more you wire your nervous system for more love, connection and growth

Step up Where have you been hiding, my love? You have been standing quietly on the sidelines, waiting for the perfect moment to contribute and you have yet to find your voice. Your Earth plane is as expansive as you and still you remain silent…why? You have done your homework, you have practiced your skills, now it is time to step into the circle and add your love and light to the mix. It may not be easy at first. Anything worth doing/accomplishing rarely is but, The Universe knows you. It knows the wild and raucous you, the part of you that loves to dance, sing and proclaim your thoughts and opinions out loud. It is time, my darling one, to step up, step out and step into what you are truly meant to be! Once you begin, nothing will be able to hold you back.

I’ve walked the path of plant medicine for years, Iboga, Ayahuasca, Bufo, mushrooms, marijuana, Kambo. Each time, I thought, This is it. This is the one that will finally fix me. I kept chasing that breakthrough, believing that just one more journey would get me where I needed to be. And while each medicine gifted me profound realizations, the pursuit itself became an addiction, always seeking, never arriving. After my last Ayahuasca ceremony, something shifted. I realized… There is nothing to fix. Nothing was ever broken. What I needed wasn’t another medicine, another ceremony, another deep dive into my subconscious. What I needed was integration, to stop seeking, start living differently and start showing up authentically embracing not only my angel side but my devil side too. I realised no plant, no teacher, no external experience can turn me into the person I want to be. Only my actions, my choices, my willingness to show up differently every single day can do that. And that’s when I decided, I was done. No more medicine. No more searching. Just integration. But then, San Pedro found me. Unlike before, I wasn’t looking for it, it came to me through my friend. He told me it was a heart-opening medicine, very gentle unlike the other medicines I tried. So, I sat with it, setting just one intention: to allow. To let go of expectations. To stop controlling. To receive whatever was meant for me. An hour passed. Then two. And… nothing. My friend, who took it with me, was already deep in his journey. I, on the other hand, was sitting there waiting, waiting to feel something, waiting for the shift, waiting for it to work. Frustration crept in. I started questioning, and somewhere in my mind came to a decision that ‘this is a waste of my time and money, it doesnt work and I dont like it.’ We kept walking, and eventually, we reached a cave. I sat down. And suddenly… it hit me. I wasn’t allowing anything. I was expecting, expecting San Pedro to feel like the other medicines I had taken, expecting it to match my past experiences, expecting it to do something to me. But true allowing means letting go of everything I think I know. It means being open to what is, instead of trying to shape things into what I want them to be or what I thought I knew.

You are magnetic when you value authenticity more than what others think. By being YOU, you accept yourself and give people the ability to see the real you Whether they accept you or not is NOT your thing to manage and how you feel about you is… Be the real you :) Today's high vibe message is inspired from the awareness that often we may value what people think MORE than what we think (also! if you want to receive texts of high vibe thoughts of the day like this up to a few times a week you can add me to your phone here https://my.community.com/aarondoughty ) This comes as an adaptable strategy as a kid where we look for approval from our parents or family I remember in 3rd grade going to the teacher in art class to ask a question about my half done picture I drew of the ocean I actually had no question… I was just hoping she said… “WOW AARON THAT'S THE BEST THING I”VE EVER SEEN!” “I’M STOPPING CLASS SO WE CAN ADMIRE THIS DRAWING YOU DID!” But instead she answered my question and I sat back down… Disappointed and wondering if my drawing “was enough…” And if deep down… If I was enough… As kids we seek validation if we weren't taught to validate ourselves If the teacher would has said… What do YOU think of your drawing? That would have influenced me to go inside myself to ask myself that question As an adult I have learned to start asking myself this question more often… And to then realize that how I feel about me is is more important than what others think I value being authentic OVER validation of others And as a result… I like me more and accept myself more And if I like me and I accept myself, I don’t crave it in others… Anyways hope you have a great day :) Much love, Aaron Doughty P.s I’m thinking of doing more high vibe thoughts of the day like this… Shorter ones I will send occasionally via text message And then some longer explanations like this via email Also if you want me to text you the shorter ones can you text me the word "vibe" to 424-304-0104 or add me here to your phone here https://my.community.com/aarondoughty
