Emotional Alchemy — From Attachment to Forgiveness

Nov 18, 2025 5:01 pm

Hello friend,


This week, we stepped into a powerful two-part energetic reset on Vibrations & Manifestations.


Episodes 79 (Attachment & Attraction) and 80 (The Alchemy of Forgiveness) form a bridge—from the grip of wanting to the release of letting go.

In other words…


How we lose energy, and how we get it back.


If you’ve been feeling stuck, replaying old memories, gripping tightly to an outcome, or carrying quiet self-judgment—these episodes were created for you.


Grab a journal, settle in.


Let’s walk through the alchemy together.


💫 Where Attachment Hooks the Heart

In Episode 79, Alicia shared how even well-intentioned desires can quietly morph into attachment.


“My energy stopped being creative and started being controlling.”


Attachment feels like wanting—but underneath, it’s fear.

Fear it won’t happen.

Fear you won’t be okay without it.

Fear the universe won’t show up unless you constantly push.


And here’s the sneaky thing:

Attachment and resentment run the same chemistry.


Both keep you tethered to an emotional loop…

Both keep your nervous system braced…

Both drain life force you could be using to create something new.


Which brings us to…


🔥 When Forgiveness Becomes Fuel

Episode 80 looked at the other half of the loop: the energy trapped in old hurts, regrets, or identities.


Jared said it best:

“Every grudge is an open energy loop. It keeps you paying emotional interest on a debt that’s already over.”


Alicia added that she could feel her whole body tense up at a single name—years after the conflict was done.


That’s the moment so many of us recognize ourselves:

The body remembers what the mind believes it has moved past.


Forgiveness—real, somatic forgiveness—isn’t moral.

It’s functional.

It’s energetic.

It’s reclaiming the current energy your past has been siphoning.


🧬 The Science Behind the Shift

This two-episode arc wasn’t just emotional—it was biochemical.

When you release attachment and resentment:

  • Cortisol drops (your body exits defense mode)


  • Oxytocin rises (your system shifts into connection + creation)


  • Your brain regains clarity


  • Your nervous system stops looping the old program


This is why forgiveness feels like a breath you didn’t know you were holding.

And why letting go of attachment feels like space returning.


Forgiveness + detachment =

Your energy back. Your creativity back. Your alignment back.


🌙 REAL TALK: What You Might Be Feeling Right Now

If these episodes stirred something in you—old memories, sudden insights, grief, relief—that’s normal.


It means your system is ready to close loops you’ve been carrying for years.


And you don’t have to push.

You just have to let energy move again.


Here are some gentle tools to support that…


🪞 Tools & Practices From the Episodes

1. The Attachment Audit

Write down the top 3 things you're wanting right now.

Then ask:

“Would I still be whole if this didn’t happen today?”


If not—you’ve attached.

Shift the frequency:

“This or something better, aligned with my highest good.”


2. Letter of Liberation

Write to someone (or a past you) and begin with:

“I release the need for this to have gone differently.”


Feel the truth of that.

Then destroy it—tear, burn, delete.

Say:

“I take back the energy I invested in this story.”


That’s the moment the loop breaks.


3. Energy Loop Mapping

Choose one recurring memory and identify:

  • What it was trying to teach you


  • What strength it gave you


Translate it:

Betrayal → Discernment

Rejection → Self-worth

Failure → Resilience


You keep the wisdom. You release the weight.


4. Neutral Breath (Daily Reset)

Inhale:

“I receive.”

Exhale:

“I release.”

Repeat 10 times.

Your nervous system updates instantly.

(This section is exclusive to Vibe Letter subscribers.)


Here’s a fast, powerful reset you can use anytime something grips your energy:


Step 1 — Identify the Tightening

Where does your body contract when you think about the situation?

Jaw? Chest? Stomach?


Step 2 — Name the Hook

Whisper to yourself:

“I’m afraid this won’t happen unless I…”

Let the truth complete itself.


Step 3 — Break the Spell

Place one hand over that tight spot.

Say softly:

“I am safe without controlling this.”

Then breathe out long and slow, as if exhaling the gripping.

Repeat 3 times.

This is micro-alchemy.

This is reclaiming your frequency in real time.


🔮 Reflection for the Week

Ask yourself:

“Where am I gripping… and where am I ready to release?”

Your next breakthrough may be hiding behind a softening.


🎧 Your Energy Is Calling You Home

This week, I invite you to:

Listen (or re-listen) to Episodes 79 and 80

These two together create a complete cycle of emotional liberation.


Choose ONE of the tools above—even just the Neutral Breath—and use it today.


Hit reply and tell me:

What energy are you reclaiming right now?

What loop are you ready to close?


Your story matters.

Your healing matters.

Your energy deserves to flow freely again.

You’re doing beautiful work.

And the universe feels every shift you make.


Until next time…

breathe light, release gently, and let your energy return to you like a tide coming home.


💜
